10. creaky boat

There had been another attack at an outpost. And for all the bad luck in the world there had been an emissary party stopping through that outpost to regroup and gather supplies before sailing on. It was her second year with the military and she was leading the scouting mission this time. The captain ranking above her wanted her to get leadership experience or some nonsense. “Is everyone aboard?” Josefin asked the small group of emissaries as well as her squad who’d been scouting. They had lost two soldiers, but they had thwarted the rebels from causing any damage to the emissaries. But now, sitting in the small rickety boat, she realized they needed a plan quickly. Vailen was a few hours away with stronger sails and it might not be safe to turn back to the outpost. And that was when she spotted the elf. “Xi’Mia!”

🌼… a story about the past.

“I’ll tell you of when I met the man I’m in love with. Perhaps I should back up. The first time I ever saw him was during a procession for some deity... I don’t know, I don’t pay attention to religious things too much... But Adaline and I were in the balcony on the second floor and he was in the crowd below. Gods, I was... twelve maybe. He was across the street and I caught his gaze. He has the darkest eyes I’ve ever seen and he just seemed... so kind and like he could cover the whole world just from the intensity of that gaze alone.

We had passing glances like that over the years but we... were officially introduced years later. I swear... I think I knew he would have my heart forever in that moment. We managed to sneak away while our parents were talking and he whisked me away on a gryphon. I’d call it romantic but I was scared too, I didn’t really use the gryphons for transport growing up. And he swore one day he’d take me on his dragon, if they were willing. That I’m less sure of, gryphons are like horses you see, dragons are their own people.

But ah... those were childhood dreams.”

🌷… a compliment.

“The Asfahalan governess wants a compliment from me? How’s this. I can appreciate a woman who lacks respect for societal pressure to forego relations with someone who is in love with another.”

🥀…. a complaint.

“... See above.”

PAIN

7) My muse tells yours they are fatally ill

---

There were only a few places Josefin knew of that might have some answers for herself. She had exhausted her contacts at the different Magaesteriums, though there was that one Kirian had mentioned. She’d never heard of it though. And then there was Vailen.

Older, more powerful and knowledgeable than any human could hope to be, she was desperate in thinking they might have answers where others had failed. Josefin was covered neck to fingertips to toes, not wanting anyone to make assumptions about her condition, and she’d worn a hooded veil, mostly to conceal her golden hair but also in mourning. She’d been led to a state room and announced as an adviser of the Northlands. Not entirely false but certainly not the whole truth. Having one person present in her head was already more than she wanted, so she needed to keep as few people aware of her whereabouts as possible.

The door creaked open and she watched Xi’Mia enter. She was a friendly sight, and under normal circumstances, Josefin might have rushed to embrace her. But there were so few people she could trust now. Not even wholly herself. They spoke for a while, Josefin asking pointed but subtle questions about rare magics, rare diseases, things that might spark blackened veins. But she wasn’t getting as much information as she’d have liked.

“Xi’Mia, I’m dying.” She said finally, pulling her glove off to reveal the faint, dark purple still pulsing through her every vein and artery. “I need help. Or I at least need to ensure my people’s survival. I don’t really care which happens first.”

✵

Send ✵ and my muse will answer the following.  

Their first impression of your muse:

 “She’s rather pleasant to talk to and she seems to know a lot. Oh and she’s an elf, I don’t mind being here, it seems nice in the trees. Oh she’s talking again. She’s so lovely!” (Like 5 year old Jo probably)

Current impression:  

Honestly, she thinks exactly the same. Xi’Mia is a bit eccentric but she’s so lovely and sweet to talk to, even if they’re talking in veiled terms about the rebellion or political things.

Are they attracted to your muse?:  

No, not in a romantic sense. It takes so much for Jo to develop feelings for someone and she just hasn’t for Xi’Mia.

Something they find frightening about your muse:

Her wisdom and tact. If Xi’Mia was more ambitious, Jo is sure she could conquer the world.

Something they find adorable about your muse:  

Can she say everything? Jo thinks Xi’Mia just is adorable.

Would my muse sacrifice themselves for yours?:  

Yes but also, Jo has a self sacrificing martyr complex so... she’d willingly throw herself in front of danger to save Xi’Mia. It’s kind of what she does. Also, a spare is less important than a governess in Jo’s mind.

Would my muse go on a date with yours?  platonic/romantic:  

Platonic, of course. She’d pull out all the stops for her and make her feel as special as she could.

One word my muse would use to describe yours:  

Intriguing.

Would my muse slap yours if they could?:

No, she would never.

Would my muse hug/kiss yours?:

Jo would absolutely give Xi’Mia a hug. And not even feel bad about breaching her personal bubble.

🏹- For a talent they wish they had 

“Is any an acceptable answer? Perhaps if I’d had the option of finding a talent I could have done literally anything else with my life.”

👻- For something that scares or disturbs them, but they refuse to tell anyone

“.... Nothing scares me.” She is lying. She is terrified of SO MUCH. The biggest fear she has right now at least is Avi leaving her in his past who knows if/when it’ll happen but that is her greatest fear.

🍻- For something bad/mischievous you did as a child or teen that your parents don’t know about 🖤- For something they secretly wish they could do with your muse

🍻- For something bad/mischievous you did as a child or teen that your parents don’t know about 

“You’re asking the wrong sister... the most mischievous things I did was maybe read ahead in lessons or cover for my siblings when they were sneaking out... although Alek and I did explore the tunnels a lot and my parents never found out about that.”

🖤- For something they secretly wish they could do with your muse

“I would love to have the opportunity to travel and learn from Xi’Mia for a few months at least... maybe years. I’m afraid fate won’t allow that though.”
