MEET YOUR CAST.

[theechtra]

Séaghdha with (back) or (forehead), please?

[BACK] - sender rubs a hand up and down receiver's back.

"Spare thoughts for the curious?"

Their voice serves to pull you from your rumination as your attention is drawn from the scenery below. Unlike your previous journey to the Summer Palace—which is one you would like to forget—the tranquility of this one is gradually serving to replace those murky memories.

Séaghdha has certainly served to assist in this. They move gracefully across the marble floor as they approach you, their golden eyes glimmering with amusement. The faint fragrance of citrus surrounds them, and when they rest one warm hand on your back, you can feel your body easing back into their touch.

"Can you not just peer into my mind and see them yourself?" Your voice is coy as they come to rest beside you. Their hand travels up and down the length of your spine, drawing forth a shiver from you, as they hum in return.

"Ah, but that takes away the fun of hearing them in your words." Their lips twitch into a faint smile. "I do like hearing your words. They're far better than those of my peers."

"Because your peers all have filters for what they say." Unlike you. Séaghdha engaged in conversation with you initially because they liked how candid you were with your words and now, many months later, that's only one of the reasons why. "But because you asked so nicely, I'll tell you. I'm thinking about how much it's changed."

Séaghdha's hand pauses in its actions for only a moment before resuming. Their body rests against yours—light enough that you don't move, but close enough that their warmth envelops you. You can feel the tension easing from your body the longer you remain in their presence.

"What's changed?"

"The Palace. It's... calmer. Better." Beithir's presence still hung heavily in the halls, but time has begun to ease the shadows away, as it always does with death. Séaghdha hums in return and tilts their head. The suns rays dance across their face and makes their feathers look like gold—a captivating sight to behold.

"... Yes." They smile then; a true, warm smile, which is directed at you as they look your way. "It feels like home again."

if it isn't too spoilery, how angst-ridden are all the ro routes? i have a feeling idris and prowler are going to bring pain & suffering to us all

I would definitely consider Prowlers to be the worst, but also, Prowlers won't be unlockable until completion of the game once.

Gwyn—A solid 6. Hers gets bumpy at times.

Idris—A solid 8 because of his back story, and all Fae + Mortal romances...y'know

Morgan—A solid 5.5. Best friend, but it can spoil pretty quick

Séaghdha—Solid 8.5 for back story and again, Mortal + Fae

Prowler—The highest and that's all I'll say

Playlist 3—Séaghdha

A courtier of the Seelie Court, Séaghdha was a close companion to the Crown Prince—having served by his side during the ''Dealg War''—and has been deeply impacted by his untimely demise. Séaghdha is the individual who suggested having a prophet-descendant spearhead the case, thus causing you to end up in this entire mess in the first place. Séaghdha stands at about 5'11" with dark brown skin and amber eyes. Séaghdha is a Hawk-Fae; because of this, they have wings that they often keep concealed with glamour, and light feathering around their ears and on their neck.

Séaghdha is a gender selectable option in game.

👁️👄👁️

Hehehe... Sounds delicious...

if you're ok with this kind of questions, Can we please have some creepy/scary facts about ROs? Or maybe a little gossip about them that goes around in the otherworld? Also Very important question - can you please tell us which of the Ros are ticklish? I wanna know their weaknesses...

Glad you're interested! Have some rumor's that go around. Unfortunately, because Morgan doesn't live in the Otherworld, you'll just have to enjoy a weird fact about them.

Gwyn: Some people think that Gwyn only received her position on The Wild Hunt and as a Knight because of her mother's influence within the Court; then they actually see her in combat, and these rumors are quickly diminished. (Not ticklish).

Idris: So many rumors about him go around, and because he never refutes or confirms them they just keep going. Wanting to usurp the Seelie, rumors about why he never wears glamour to conceal his burns, rumors about illicit affairs, etc. It's a never-ending mill within all of the Courts. (Definitely not ticklish.)

Morgan: Morgan puts milk in the bowl before they put cereal which, if you ask me, is the most horrifying thing to ever exist. (Very ticklish.)

Prowler: No rumors about him exist, really, because people either don't know about him or are too nervous to talk about him. He's very much considered a bad omen in the Otherworld, and no one wants him at their Court. (Do not touch him.)

Séaghdha: Another person who is subject to a lot of rumors due to their standing in Court. Séaghdha has the ability to laugh them off and deny them, however, unlike Idris. Most of the rumors about them consist of selling off Court information to the Unseelie, due to their frequent trips to that Court, but those aren't true. Likely. (Ticklish).
