“Oh… thank you…” Myrrh murmured when another girl pressed a handful of candy into her hands. It was clear it was freshly made—perhaps from the candy maker.

Although, she had to wonder why the other girl had chosen Myrrh, of all people, to share her excess candy with. Was it because of her child-like appearance? It didn’t bother her much though.

“My name is Myrrh… What’s your name…?”

The quantity of the purchase had been accidental. In truth, Mitama was in the habit of buying candy in large quantities to share with a certain sugar loving friend, but it had been a great time since she’d seen him. Old habits and the like, it seemed.

“Oh? A pleasure to meet you, Myrrh.” She had no particular reason when she’d chosen the young girl to receive the candy. Simply that she looked young and Mitama thought she would enjoy. 

“My name is Mitama.”

Pounds of Candy | Eliwood & Myrrh

Continued from here.

“Eliwood…!” Myrrh turned her lips up in a smile. “I’m glad to see you here…”

Her eyes widened at the large amounts of candy in Eliwood’s arms. She wondered why he had so much, although she had heard that the candy maker was in town. Perhaps he had meant to save it and give it back to his son?

She received her answer when Eliwood greeted her and handed her a handful of candy. Myrrh blinked before laughing gently.

“Ah… thank you, Eliwood… I’m grateful you thought of me…”

Though the castle had been muddled with a mixture of various masked faces, Eliwood had little trouble spotting Myrrh, whose petite form was nearly lost within the crowd. The moment he approached her, he smiled, bowing his head as a greeting rather than his usual wave. His arms, as she had examined, were quite full of various candies from numerous nations, ranging from expensive delicacies to simple sweets meant for children.

“Myrrh! It does my heart good to see you again,” Eliwood greeted with a warm smile, his face radiant from excitement, “and your costume! It’s excellent! I am so pleased you are so spirited for the holiday.” After passing her a handful of various candies, he shifted in on his feet, searching his person with his eyes.

“Ah...I have also brought a package from Pherae. I thought I may see you here,” He replied before turning to one his escorts, handing over a mass of the candy and instructing them to deliver it to their room, “here you are! These are lokum. I think you will find them most enjoyable. They are a confection that originated within Lycia.” He paused, blushing sheepishly.

“As I am sure you have guessed...I am quite fond of sweets.”

"Ah, Big Brother...! I'm so glad you're here...!" [ Hello hello! Welcome to FERP! ]

“Hello, Myrrh,” Ephraim greets her warmly, resisting the urge to ruffle the hair atop her head lest he offend her. “How have you been holding up?” A frown crinkles his brow. “The rest of the army... they aren’t treating you too harshly, are they?” Though he wants to go to as great of lengths as possible to assure she is comfortable amongst them, he is also aware that many of his fellows have not quite gotten used to the idea of a manakete in their midst.

[White Poppy and Trumpet Flower?]

Flower Ask Meme 

White Poppy: How easy is it for your muse to fall asleep?Relatively easy, I would imagine. In addition to the nightly stretching routine all members of the army follow, Seth probably has a bedtime routine to help him fall asleep. At times when things get particularly hectic, or he has a lot on his mind, I can see it being more difficult. Once asleep, though, Seth is a pretty light sleeper and will wake up from nearly any change to the environment around him.

Trumpet Flower: How well-known is your muse, from their community to their kingdom?Given Seth’s high military rank, I would assume most people in the area immediately surrounding the castle know who he is. The further out you go, the less it would happen, although Cormag describes him as ‘legendary’, so he probably experiences some level of notoriety throughout Magvel.

Expedition | Eliwood & Myrrh

@darklingmyrrh

Surrounded by rich colorful gardens and miraculously clear bodies of water, Castle Pherae was an elegant fortress. The water reflected beautiful images of the gardenias that surrounded them in ample artistic formations, brightening the castle courtyard with such a magnitude of light it nearly appeared angelic. The walls within the castle were crafted of the finest limestone and marble, with artistic cravings that demonstrated the wealth of the noble house. In the center of the main entrance hall was a grand staircase that branched off in two directions, leading further into the castle. From the left portion Eliwood appeared, sliding his palm across the handrail as he descended down the staircase in his usual attire,

“Ah Myrrh, I apologize to have kept you waiting,” He called out, reaching the bottom with a robe hanging over his arm, “I’m afraid my son didn’t want me to leave quite soon. He can be a little attached at times, but I find it to be sweet.” He explained with a soft expression on his face. Then, he blinked as he remembered the cloak in his arms, “This is for you Myrrh. Royal blue is a color of the House of Pherae. Please, consider it a gift. Perhaps....a souvenir of sorts.” He explained, holding it out to her with a smile.

The leaves crumpled underneath his footsteps as he traveled through the woods in the dead of the night, wrapping his cloak close around him for warmth. Though Eliwood certainly wasn’t fond of traveling in the night, passing through the wooded area was the quickest route to return to the village he had been staying within. I underestimated the time of sunset once again…Marcus will certainly scold me once I return... He was ripped from his thoughts, his heart jolting in his chest when he noticed a pair of eyes watching him from the darkness. He nearly leaped into action, until his eyes focused on the figure, allowing him to observe that it was a child. At least, that’s what he thought until he noticed the wings on her back. 

He immediately relaxed, “Well met.” He began, his voice soft and kind. He waited for a response, but when he realized the manakete appeared too shy to respond, he smiled warmly. “Are you here alone? It must be difficult being in such a dark place at this hour.” He organized his thoughts in his mind, not wishing to scare the manakete anymore than he already had done. However, in his heart he felt a softness towards her. Humans are often far too cruel to what they do not understand. What makes a difference if someone is a bit different? He smiled once more, holding out his hand to her, “Pray forgive me for startling you. I noticed you were watching me quite closely…is there something on your mind?”

[Yellow acacia and fraxinella?]

Yellow acacia: Has your muse ever held a secret love for someone?

// Growing up, she had a crush on Shannan; however, she reconciled it into familial love once she learned they were cousins. As for others, Larcei has yet to find someone she can tell herself she’s in love with; after Iuchar and Iucharba, she’s grown rather sick of the advances of men, and she often scares off any others due to her tough exterior.

Fraxinella: Does your muse like the heat?

// No. Larcei is an avid follower of anti-heat. One, it makes fighting difficult. Two, when sand gets into her boots, her feet get severely uncomfortable (at least one rock demands that it poke at her heel). Three, the desert wind loves to blow sand into her eyes.

"Sir Seth, I... I heard it was your birthday... and though it may not mean much, I would like to wish you a happy birthday..."

“Ahh! Lady Myrrh, delightful to see you.” He gave a small smile. “Yes, us mortals must seem a tad silly to you, celebrating each time we survive another year, but I think it is the fact that we live much shorter lives that gave rise to it.” Seth’s cheeks tinged faintly pink. “Though surely you know that already.” Clearing his throat, he amended. “Thank you very much for the well wishes, Lady Myrrh. I am honoured that you took the time to seek me out.”
