“...Hang on a second! Araceli? Is that you? Goodness, I almost didn’t recognise you!”
@heartswayed
Nothing ever gets the King heated these days, but...
“…that isn’t necessary.”
“I’d have to agree that such comments aren’t necessary Araceli. You are a member of our family, my sister. That isn’t something I take for granted.” Well.. maybe he did at one point take her for granted. He wasn’t proud of that, and he wasn’t going to start it again.
“Whatever these people have to say, it should be nothing but kindness towards you. That is what you deserve.”

“…Mother…”
Mikoto looks to Araceli for but a moment, before sighing with her eyes shut.
“I had always dreamed that someday there would be a world for you without all of this talk of war and destiny, my child.” she sighed, “Perhaps, I too am a fool for trying to fight off the inevitable...”

❝ Hey, Araceli. Do you have a moment?? ❞
Ike approaches the princess in a lull. They’re far enough away from their last fight that all the after-battle rush of logistics, congratulations, and tidying up loose ends that the flurry of people surrounding their leader has finally thinned down. Their leader is approachable now, once more, and Ike hopes he’s caught her in a peaceful time, before any of them have to worry about their next fight.
( Ike has a sense for these things now, he’s been in enough conflict. He’s just glad to assume a minor role in this one: if he speaks to any one, it’s Araceli. For once, he’s truly nothing more than a war-mercenary. It’d be a relief, if it weren’t another war. )
❝ If you’re busy, you can just tell me to leave. ❞

“miyu…? no, i’m afraid i haven’t seen her…”
… in some time, you realize in horror. the book in your hands tumbles to the ground, your place lot as your eyes find your nephew’s– the bags under his eyes are even more pronounced, and there’s an odd sway to his stance. it’s minute, barely noticeable under the professionalism that had been trained into him, but you’re his aunt. you can tell these things about your nephew.
anxiety grips you now– how had you not noticed? how badly have you lost track of time? you raise to your feet and instead gently guide dwyer to your seat so that he might rest. your dragonstone finds itself in your hands before you realize what’s going on, and you take a step towards the door.
your sister is missing. your own sister is missing and instead of searching for her you’ve been sitting around reading a damn book. you truly… are the worst.
“please, rest a moment. i’ll find her, dwyer. everything will be fine.”
He was so tired. Who knew that being transformed and in dragon form all day could drain a person so much? But if his father couldn’t look for Miyu, and the twins were too young, then who else would? Dwyer stopped trying to hide his exhaustion once his aunt had him, and he almost collapsed onto the seat that she had been sitting in moments before.
He needed sleep, but anxiety had him. What if something truly horrible happened to his mother? What will happen to him? To his dad? To the twins? Surely she was still somewhere out there... Right? Dwyer buried his face in his hands, gritting his teeth as he stopped himself from breaking down there and then like his father had taught him.
{DWYER} ---- “I... Haven’t slept in days. I... I’ve been looking for her as much as possible. No one in Hoshido or Nohr have seen her... Or any sign of her... She didn’t even take the Yato with her...”
Sleep was calling to him, but at the same time, what kind of a son would he be if he just slept while his aunt went out looking for his mother for him?
A really awful one. That’s what.

i’d like to see less whining about our differences, personally, and more celebrating them.
“Yes, this is the law now.”
heartswayed replied to your post ““I’m seein’ ya all are cheerin’ for me ‘n Menja.” “S’nice to see...”
is there something in particular she would like, sir helbindi?
“Yeah, o’ course. She loves sweets and storybooks the best.”
“Maybe a stuffed animal if ya can spare it? She just loves anythin’ you can hug, or make memories with. She’s a good kid, ya know?”
heartswayed replied to your post: “Would you like to pet her?” She asked, eyeing...
“… Would it be alright with her, Miss Deliah?” Please, a distraction would be nice-
She quickly looked over at her pegasus, perhaps sharing a look with the steed, before looking back at Araceli with a small smile, and giving her a nod.
“She doesn’t seem to mind.” Deliah said, as the pegasus even cautiously took a step closer to Araceli of her own volition. “Here, come closer and introduce yourself.”
