she was quite fond of the white that surrounded them. living in ironhaven meant that perhaps once a winter, snow would be shed but at the very minimum. soon enough, the snow would melt by less than a fortnight. anya decided to take up the opportunity ( before they either perish or leave this white wonderland ) to play in the snow. her eyes spot a familiar man walking; mustering up the courage, she is quick to form a ball of snow before sending it into the back of pyros.

WHO: pyros heo and anya cassel.
WHERE: the dracborough wing of the castle.
WHAT: in which anya confronts pyros about the ring she gave him and is welcomed with the wrath that is pyros heo.
anya: after gifting the duke of dracborough a flower she'd handcrafted herself, she bounded through the corridors, hoping to run into him. she wanted to personally thank him and see if he appreciated her gift. it wasn't until she reached the dracborough wing ( why hadn't she thought of it before? ) that she recognized his face. "your grace!" she called happily, skipping her way over to him.
pyros: pyros closed the heavy oak door to his room as he finally departed for the luncheon his sisters had planned. he didn't want to go, and he was already late, but he had already agreed. his shoulders hung low as he thought of the prospect of spending the entirety of the afternoon with viola and mairi. at the voice, pyros looked up. the blood rushed to his cheeks as he realized it was that pretty nurse he had assisted-- anya. instinctively, his hand went to the ring on his left ring finger. " hello, " he tried to answer coolly.
anya: "how do you fare today, your grace?" she's a lot more chipper than she should be, considering they were at war. but she'd gotten word that they were planning on return home after this next battle, which surged hope in her. "i was looking for you," she begins, her fingers fidgeting in nerves. "i was just wondering if you received my gift? did you like it?" she recognizes her endless chatter and bites the inside of her cheek to cease it, awaiting his reply.
pyros: his lips press together to prevent the smile from growing too obviously. " i am well, thank you for asking. " he plans to ask how she's doing but doesn't because he's an asshole. not consciously, he was just never raised for niceties. that's why his parents had daughters-- so they could care. but, he wants to be nice to her. he just doesn't know how. " you were searching for me ? " something within his chest wells ( perhaps it's his heart ? ) and his eyes light up. " ah, yes. i did. it's... " he searched for the right thing to say, " i've never received anything like it. "
anya: she nods, blushing a little at her confession. though his words of her ring, caused curiosity to spark. "surely that is a good thing?" anya shakes her head, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "i... i know it may not compare to such beauties," she gestures to the rings on his hand, gawking at them for some seconds before taking his hand gently. "my, these rings are.. exquisite, your grace."
pyros: " no, " he agrees, his gaze falling to his hand. " it doesn't. " somehow, it's worth so much more to him. his face heats even more as he takes her hand. they're nice hands. firm, yet soft. " thank you. some are heirlooms, some are newly crafted. "
anya: her lips purse as he admits it aloud. she knows that it compares not to the gems perched on his fingers ( quite excessively ) and she can't help the sting in her heart at the truth. "newly crafted?" her thumb rubs his hand subconsciously, surveying the gems once more. "this puts my ring to shame, your grace. someone such as yourself shouldn't be seen wearing something so ghastly," she's ashamed now but she understands. someone of his status should not wear something made of a peasant.
pyros: " and why shouldn't i ? " he replies defensively. if she tried to take back the gift, anya really had another thing coming. he'd rather give up all of his rings -- jewels and all -- than lose the ring she had made for him. never had pyros received such a gift in earnest. " i am old enough to chose what i can and cannot wear and i want to wear it. "
anya: she should be thrown off by his exclamation, instead she offers a gentle, happier smile from before. "you want to wear it?" she's giddy now and her grip on his hand tightens some. "that makes me happy, your grace. very happy indeed." anya takes a glance downwards towards her ring, inspecting the flowers wrapped around it. "the flowers are used in our healing elixirs," she began, pulling his hand up so he can get a better look at it. "surely it will protect you during the next battle."
pyros: under her bright smile, pyros melts. he is a pile of putty in her hands. while he's seen beautiful women ( and men ) in his life, he's never felt so entranced by one before. a dumb, dopey smile almost makes it on his face before he catches himself. pyros is better than that. he scoffs, pulling his hand away from her grasp. he misses the warmth of her hands immediately. " how can leaves protect me in battle ? "
anya: as pyros' mood changes completely, anya feels at lost for words. her smile instantly drops ( along with her heart, it feels ). this side of pyros she fears, this hostile side of him. she attempts to recover from his outburst, more soft-spoken than before. "you're right, forgive me, your grace. such a foolish thing of me to say." she offers a somber smile, her hand that previously occupied his rubs her arm nervously. "perhaps i should leave, surely you have somewhere else you'd rather be."
pyros: pyros closes his eyes in an attempt to collect himself. there's a lump in his throat. he's acutely aware that he does not want to shut her out but, he's getting dangerously soft in this conversation. " yes, " his voice is uncharacteristically soft. " anywhere. i'd rather be anywhere than here. "
anya: she feels the familiar sting in her eyes that makes her even more angry at herself. she hates the fact that people were able to make her weep so easily. but hates what she feels towards pyros and how he can cause her such grief in such a short period of time. there are several tears that manage to escape, to which anya manages to keep her head down. she gives a curtsy, as formally as she knows how. "enjoy the rest of your day, your grace," there's an emphasis on the title, as she signifies the line between them. her voice is quivering from the tears that race down her face but she quickly brushes passed him, knocking into his shoulder.
pyros: he finds himself gaping at her words. he did not think she was capable of being so scathing. this is his fault. pyros feels something constrict within the confines of his chest. it feels as if there's a giant foot pressing on to his heart. the feeling is only amplified when anya brushes past him. he turns quickly, wanting to call out to her but the words are lost on his lips. he's never apologized before and today will not be the day he starts. his gaze drops down to his left hand again. the ring -- the ring he had displaced three of his golden rings for -- was suddenly very ugly to him. angrily, or frustratedly, or maybe even sadly, pyros removed the ring and shoved it into a pocket of his cloak.
11. If you had to pick three people to go on a road trip with, who would they be?
she blinks at the question, her immediate thoughts going to lucien. “ lucien. ” but then she thinks of the duke who saved her during the disaster of the dinner. “ pyros, too. but that might not ... end up good for the general safety of everyone. ” then her thoughts drift to nicolette, derrek, lucrezia, avery, even. but instead, she settles with, “ kane or the dog would be my last choice. such a difficult question... ” @luciendyer @heopyros @healkane @ the dog
