“He’ll be fine. I was worried I might have given him a concussion, but they won’t know that until he opens his eyes.” He turned his eyes onto Kamkim, an easy smile landing on his face. “What about you, Kamnya? How’s the face?”

Kamnya? That was cute.

“Definitely been better.” Then, after removing the ice and prodding at the skin, he chuckled. “At least I’ll have a cool bruise. And I get to tell everyone about the crazy refugee who attacked me.”

Heila frowned. “Hey.” Kamkim turned to her. “We’re not all that bad.” He looked away just as quickly, although Heila thought she might have been able to see him blush. She leaned towards him, bumping him with her shoulder. “You want more bruises, Kamnya?”

“Careful,” Michil warned. “You’re forgetting that she’s friends with the crazy refugee who attacked you.”

“That’s right.” Heila lightly bumped his arm with her fist. “Say the wrong thing and pow.”

“Are you trying to make me look cool?”

“Look cool?” Michil interjected. He rolled his sleeve up to his elbow and flexed his bicep. He shot the two of them a cheesy, cocky grin. “If you wanted bruises all you ever have to do is ask.”

I’m sorry for so many excerpts from this scene but I didn’t think writing these three interacting would be so cute/funny

“I’m sorry,” she said. Kamkim turned his head to look at her - she’d sat on his injured side - and Heila directed her eyes at the floor. “I’m really sorry about him,” she continued. “I don’t think he’s going to say it but you should hear it, so-”

“Don’t,” Kamkim said. “It’s not on you.”

They were quiet again, and Heila’s eyes traveled the grooves between the floor tiles. They might have been white once, but were stained with time. They were evenly laid, but a few poked up at strange angles. Whether that was the result of lazy handiwork or years of use she’d never know.

“I’m sorry,” she said again. It was partially to Kamkim, but was partially to Kaifen, too. If it hadn’t been for her own lazy handiwork there was a chance all of this could have been avoided. Infection and fever clouded a mind.

She looked up when Kamkim sighed, and was surprised to see he was looking at her with raised eyebrows and a half smile. “Do you always apologize to the weak and bruised?”

Heila caught onto his playfulness and huffed a laugh. She looked back down at the protruding tile. “I do when I want to talk to them and don’t have a better icebreaker.”

“Kind of shoddy bedside manner,” Kamkim teased. “Bringing attention to insecurities like that.”

“Why be insecure about that? I think bruises are cool.” She lifted her head and found that she was smiling, too. Kamkim’s was contagious. “It’s proof of facing something.”

“Oh, I definitely faced something.” He lowered the ice and Heila winced. His eye was already swelling.

Zodiac and Shooting Star!

zodiac: what’s their sign? does it influence their personality? do they care about astrology?

Aulm wouldn’t have the same constellations as us, and I don’t think any kind of system like zodiacs would emerge, so none of them really care about it.

HOWEVER, I like zodiacs. I once made charts for a few of them so I’ll go dig those out! None of these are very serious, just some fun extras for people who might care about this kinda thing. (It also helps me figure out when to put their birthdays).

Kai Fen would be a Virgo sun for sure, he’s got control issues galore. Scorpio Moon + Aries Rising.

Heila, as I’ve mentioned before, would be a Sagittarius! She loves people and the world. Capricorn Moon + Gemini Rising.

Saoirse was the hardest for me to make a chart for, but I think that, like me, he’d be a Pisces sun. He’s the character I have the most in common with so it felt right. Leo Moon + Aquarius Rising.

Kamkim (RIP 3) would ba a Taurus Sun / Cancer Moon / Taurus Rising. All of his other personal planets would be Taurus too, since Kamkim’s personality was loosely based off of someone I met with all Taurus placements and an Aries moon.

Pelageya would be Scorpio Sun / Gemini Moon / Aries Rising.

Alma (who I haven’t talked about a lot on here!) would be a Leo Sun / Pisces Moon / Scorpio Rising.

shooting star: if your OC(s) could have one wish what would it be?

i’ll answer this for a few more!!

Pelageya would wish to achieve her goals. She really wouldn’t specify more than that. She wants to climb to the top, anyone in her way be damned.

Illarion would probably wish for a large sum of cash so he could fuck off to some lavish property on some island between Enyang and Drekku and never be heard from again.

Zhihao, as of right now, would wish for the Blylahn’s to just fuck off so he can go back home and out of the cold. After he re-meets with Kai Fen though and gets convinced of who he is he’s going to wish to go back in time and kill his father before Kai Fen turned eleven.
