Seriously though, what is up with people branding Auron “an old man” OMG. He’s thirty five, you bunch of kindergarteners. That is not old.
A lot of us are closer to 35 than we are to 15. sorry for reminding you omg no pls don’t hurt me—
It makes me laugh that anyone older than maybe 25 in most FF games is deemed “old” (by the game, not just by the players). By that standard, Auron and Jecht must be fossils and Yuna is basically past it at the end of X-2. She’s pretty hot for an old lady, though.
I have the scene from Metal Gear Awesome in my head… Where Old Snake says “I’M STILL HOT, BITCH” only it’s Auron—
"So,you are the famous Peter Romanov. I've heard so much about you" Thena asked drily as she looked up at the rather popular and handsome boy. They were going on a double date set up by her best friend Maria who had the hots for Peter's best friend. "It's nice to finally meet you." She said extending a hand, giving him one of her patented sweet as sugar smiles.
"Oops." She giggled. "Did I forget to introduce myself? I'm Athena." Athena knew who Peter was even if he didn't know her. Had noticed him for years in fact.
"It is perfectly alright, in fact", he said simply, smiling a bit. "You have a pleasant laugh, Athena", he noted politely. Truth was he had noticed this girl quite a few times but somehow she had always escape his attention for a longer period of time.
"Oh why thank you." She said twirling a lock of her hair, which was one of her nervous habits. "Should we give them some alone time? They seem like they need it."
"You are welcome", he continued, enjoying the way she twisted her hair in her slender fingers. There was certain appeals to girls who displayed even nervousness in a lady-like way. "I believe so. After all, one must never stand in the way of love so shall we?", he asked, offering her his arm.
"No, and surely they love each other with as much time as they have spent together." She replied looking back at the two of them who were gazing at each other with love. "Did you finally agree to go on this date? Marie has been trying to convince me for forever."
"It seems they do indeed", he replied, casting a glance to his friend and smiling a bit. "Love makes for a great sight, don't you agree? But yes, I had not much choice seeing as one cannot afford to stand in the way of love, now can they?", he asked a bit smugly.
She shook her head biting back a laugh. "Oh, don't seem that unexcited to see me. I'm quite entertaining you know." She said a slight smirk on her lips. "I would show you-but it could be too much for you."
"You are? My oh my", he said, rising an eyebrow, then smirking. "I would have to take your word, seeing as I'm a gentleman and perhaps it is for the greater good because I could easily turn to be too much fun for you."
"Oh! now you claim to be a gentleman?" She asked raising an eyebrow. "I rather like gentlemen you know, and I really don't think you could ever be too much fun for me." This was fun, Thena could admit to herself. He was witty and smart and entirely too good looking for her own good.
"I beg pardon? 'Claim' is a verb that cannot possibly apply to my humble persona." He gave her one of those charming smiles that worked miracles everywhere he wentr. But still, this one girl was fun - she was not head-over-heels with him from the moment he walked in and it was refreshing. And she was beautiful and smart too as a bonus. "You like gentlemen, you say? Marvelous, seeing as I'm quite fond of ladies myself. But beware because not every lady can handle the amount of fun I could be."
"You, humble? A jokester to boot. How quaint" she replied airily giving him a charming a smile in return. A smile that worked wonders on everyone around her. She was a golden girl here, everyone loved her and wanted to be her. It was a wonder she never met Peter earlier. "I am a lady, and everyone knows ladies have the most fun. But if you don't want to find out—it would be your loss."
"Now, humble and honest are complimentary, my lady. I was merely stating the truth, ask whoever you wish to confirm", he replied confidently. He was the king of this castle and girls wanted to be with him while boys secretly wished to be him. But one thing was certain - Peter Romanov was the golden boy of Durmstrang. Quite surprising this one girl had evaded his attention, in fact. "I believe it would've been utterly impolite of me to require a lady to display how fun she is but if the lady wishes to prove her words, I'd be more than happy to know exactly how fun she is."
"Oh I already know what everyone say to it." She said waving a hand. If she was the golden new girl, than he was the reigning golden boy. Somehow their paths had come into contact a few times but this was the first time they had talked for prolonged periods of time. "That's a rather circulatory way of saying, yes I would like to have fun with you Romanov. But I accept."
"I'm throughly glad to have both of those matters settled in that case." The world were said in a manner that implied he had foreseen such a turn of events because he actually had. After all, Romanovi were well know for getting what they wanted and he was no exception. "Seeing as it was the lady to take the initiative here, I believe it is only fair for me to take the lead now, no?"
"I would love for you to take the lead. It is the gentleman's job after all." she said with a slight roll of her eyes. She only took the initiative because she didn't care how forward she was being. When she wanted something, she got it. She just knew things with Romanov would be highly-interesting. And it would serve to make the other girls quite jealous of her, which she rather liked.
and actually sleep because that 3 month old spawn of mine sleeping in the bedroom across the hall will wake up at 4am like she knows I didn't sleep well.
