closed starter for @emirhisham​

         IT HAD BEEN SOME MONTHS SINCE THEY HAD SAID THEIR GOODBYES. news of the peace talks which would be held in portugal hadn’t reached hurrem until her arrival into constantinople to celebrate the marriage of her niece and, though she was most excited to be reunited with her osman kin, it made it clear that she would not return home to cordoba or be reunited with her husband or their children until she would set sail for portugal for it made most sense in the name of safety that she travel along side the sultan. words of emotion and of the heart were poured out onto parchment and sent across the seas but that was as close as she had been to her spouse for so long; TOO long, in truth. 

ottoman fabrics which varied in detail and colour - all chosen by the emira herself - were laid out upon the furnature within the emir’s chambers by hurrem’s own careful hands. she had ordered the servants’ silence and requested a message be sent to hisham to inform him that a gift had been delivered to his chambers by an anonymous guest with no further information that might give away her identitiy. and so she waited. adjusting furnature to her own liking, making sure a healthy amount of light poured into the room so that the fabrics which she laid out upon chairs, a couch, a desk and the bed could be seen in all their beautiful glory. hurrem remained extremely busy, it was only when she came to a stop at the sound of the doors opening that she realised her haste was out of pure EXCITEMENT to be reunited with her husband once more.

            the king had awoken with the intent to discuss matters of state with emir after a riot had flared in léon, a once spanish nation held in the cradle of the emirate that called for a decrease in castilian military presence and an uptick in al - barracin wealth. at the break of dawn, to the tune of songbirds nestled in the trees outside the king’s chamber,  he summoned an envoy between the two nations to arrange a meeting. with regret, the envoy plaintively rejoined, the emir is at prayer. tossing the parchment into the hearth that roared in the grates of his quarters, alfonso grunted out a response of compliance –– he would 𝒘𝒂𝒊𝒕 for the emir, but not for long.

it was not until 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒅𝒆 descended, and like ink twilight had drenched the court in an darkness splintered by hotly - burning candelabrum, that the king was alerted of hisham’s emergence from the islamic chapels. following much squabbling on alfonso’s part as to the unreasonable practices of the east, he was bid to private apartments where he splayed a map across a chestnut table, gesturing to a splotch of blood that puddled atop what was once spain.

"my men tell me of an uprising, since stifled, that arose in leon this past week. my father fought them many a time and they are already weak –– you may choose to strike, or, a man of prayer that you are," the king noted sourly, "you may appease them."

Does your character get restless when things are too quiet or do they favour solitude and silence? Why? 

not  particularly,  melek  has  always  been  notorious  for  seeking  out  solitude  and  silence,  in  fact,  i  do  believe  she  prefers  to  be  alone  in  some  capacity.  she  always  makes  sure  that  she  has  some  ‘alone  time’  during  the  day  so  that  she  can  sit  and  write  lines  of  poetry  or  general  ramblings  about  teachings  in  the  quran  or  other  forms  of  literature  ––  it’s  her  happy  place  and  would  quite  easily  waste  the  day  away  doing  just  that  if  she  let  herself.  i  think  in  recent  years  she’s  become  more  solitary  too,  she’s  still  coming  to  terms  with  her  scarring  and  tends  to  shy  away  from  harem  activities  because  of  it.  that  being  said,  i  do  believe  that  her  marriage  to  selim  is  helping  her  to  come  out  of  her  shell  a  little  more  and  this  trip  to  portugal  is  a  big unpleasant  step  for  her  to  take,  but  it’s  easier  with  selim  there.

Your character has been granted 3 wishes; what would they wish for and why?

Her first wish would be, rather surprisingly, to have been born male. While she doesn’t despise her gender, Rosalind dislikes her lack of opportunity as a woman and feels that as a man she would not only have the approval of her father, but would have her own piece of land to retire on and be left to make her own choices from who she marries to what she does. She feels that as a man she would be free to live her life on her own terms and not feel like her value begins and ends with her beauty and ability to bare sons.

Secondly, if her first wish came true, Rosalind might wish to become a pirate or an explorer and travel the world living grand adventures, but had it not, she would wish to be the most beloved queen in all the world. Just being queen wouldn’t be enough, as she would be a target for the strongest poison in order to be replaced, but if she were loved by everyone then no one would harbor ill will and her reign would be long and fruitful

Her third wish would be to see the future. Though she can’t even begin to wrap her head around what it would be like, Rosalind is curios about what technological and social advancements would be the outcome of the ever changing world, wars, and general development or humanity.

        THE CHAOS OF THE RIOT had done so much more than bringing unrest to the florentine streets. mistrust was rife amongst foreigners and citizens alike, a cloud of uncertainty fell upon the city and made the winter days feel darker with fear, and worst of all they all had blood on their hands. until the culprit who caused the death of the diplomat was caught, lorenzo de medici saw his hands to be a stomach-turning shade of crimson that would not fade no matter how much he prayed. no matter how many guards he sent onto the streets. the palazzo vecchio - once the seat of the republic’s government - became host to meetings relating to issues of security and injury but none were so urgent as a meeting between the duke of florence and the emir of cordoba.

rising upon announcement of the emir’s arrival, lorenzo sighed away his frustration that this needed to be a meeting in the first place and gestured that the emir may choose to sit if he wished. “ your highness, you have my deepest apologies that we had not met sooner for i feel as strongly as you that the events which have unfolded must not be overlooked. i heartily believe that our collective resources WILL get to the bottom of it. first, i wish to express my greatest sympathies for your loss. ”
