STARTER for @embcrn​ ( elke ) from LIEF

“COME TO BED,” lief remarked quietly, opening up the bedroll for elke. he had been distracted all day, knowing what would come to pass and just... thinking on it. soon, he would be dead. but dying for elke had always been on the table, and lief had readily accepted it. he just hated that they didn’t have more time.

“YOU’RE DEAD ON YOUR FEET. YOU NEED REST. AND FOOD. BUT WE’LL WORRY ABOUT THE FOOD TOMORROW MORNING.”

“YOU SAID IT WOULD BE BAD, BUT YOU DIDN’T SAY IT WOULD BE THAT BAD,” he remarked softly. elke never had specific visions; the divines did not bless them with exact foresight. but enough to lend credence to elke’s visions.

“HAVE YOU HAD ANY OTHER’S RECENTLY? HOPEFULLY NO MORE ARMIES OF THE DEAD.” he wouldn’t admit how worried he had been in the battle. of all the fates in ireyne, the one elke didn’t know was their own. lief couldn’t help but worry and wonder when he would have to lay down his life to save them. prophecy and all that.

STARTER for @embcrn​ ( elke ) from ALOYSIUS

“HOW... HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT NAME?” he asks, voice soft as he stares at the seer with frightened eyes. the usually jovial man had been called by his GIVEN name, a name he had forgotten when they had cast him out. when he had left his home.

“HOW DO.... HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT NAME, SEER? AND IF YOU KNEW THE NAME, YOU MUST KNOW IT HURTS ME TO BE CALLED BY IT.” he takes a step forward, and the seer’s little lap dog stands a bit taller. percival can feel his hands shaking, and he grips them into fists to prevent it.

STARTER for @embcrn ( antigone ) from ELEKTRA

she watched from afar as her sister approached. fear gripped her heart, but she would have to face antigone at some point. and she had no other ways to deter her sister’s approach. emil was out, so she couldn’t use lessons with him as an excuse anymore.

she grabbed her chalkboard, and she scratched out a greeting to her sister. hello, sis. you look pretty as ever. she even drew her sister a small heart. perhaps that would soften the terror in elektra’s eyes.

“HERE. YOU NEED TO EAT,” he said, tearing off a crust of bread and handing it to them. the worry in his eyes was damn near smothering, but what else could he do? they had... well. lief wasn’t going anywhere. knowing you’re going to die eventually was a part of life. knowing how you were going to die and WHEN? well, divines. that’s enough to make a man follow anyone.

“ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? DO YOU NEED ANYTHING? WATER? A BLANKET. WHATEVER YOU NEED, I’LL...I’LL GET IT.”

STARTER for @embcrn​ ( antigone ) from ELEKTRA

you look really pretty tonight, sister. elektra rested her head on her sister’s shoulder, placing an affectionate kiss there before hopping up and looking down at her sister. 

we should dance, she mouths, hands signing alongside. what do you say? you up to dance with your left footed sister?

STARTER for @embcrn​​ ( ragnar ) from MARA

mara shuffles from the bed, rubbing her dark eyes. she pulls on a robe laying on the chair in his room (no doubt tossed there last night), and she goes out to the window where he stands, wrapping her arms around his waist.

“IT’S TERRIBLY COLD IN THERE, YOU BOOR,” she mumbles against his back, sound caught as she relishes the skin on skin contact. “COME BACK TO BED. IT’S NOT YET MORNING.”

STARTER for @embcrn​ ( antigone ) from ELEKTRA

“WHO HURT YOU?! I’LL TEAR THEM LIMB FROM LIMB. YOU HAVE WOUNDS!” elektra rushed to her sister when they were at camp, gripping her head and looking at her wounds. “WHO WERE YOU WITH? WHO LET YOU GET HURT?” 

she continued to search her sister for more wounds, frowning. “I’M GOING TO KILL THEM, WHOEVER IT WAS. THE ONE TIME I LEAVE YOU ALONE IN A FIGHT FOR OUR LIVES! HONESTLY.”
