@luxprotector asked:

inari begins to poke g'raha's shoulder, so when he turns around, she uses her index to poke his cheek, smiling mischievously "got you~! arrre you frrree now? krile won't get mad if i steal you for a moment? let's go eat a burrrger, i'll pay!"

Despite being fully aware of what would happen when he gave in and acknowledged Inari’s (gentle) pestering, G’raha still found himself looking over at her, even as that caused her finger to press just a little firmer up against his cheek. In response he found himself puffing his cheeks out, holding his breath for a moment as his nose wrinkled. How could she-

“You want to get something to eat?” Well, it was Inari. Almost anything she did could be traced back to or inspired by her desire to have something tasty.

“I don’t mind taking a break. And you don’t have to pay for me, you know.” Though Tataru would undoubtedly frown and chastise him for his decision to not take the offer of something free, he couldn’t in good conscience let Inari buy his meal when he could easily afford it. And he probably did need to step away from the task of trying to catalog the tomes in the Annex. Krile had warned him it would be a daunting task, but he hadn’t imagined it would be this bad.

"now that you're my child officially, what's the first thing you want to do? we can go buy new clothes! we can go eat anything you want!" azem is totally not excited of having a girl as her kid(?) - @luxprotector​

“Um...” When has been the last time she had been offered such options? She almost feels helpless -- albeit in a good way. After a few seconds of contemplation, Yotsuyu look up at Azem with a shy smile. “There are some food stalls... I always wanted to try their food.”

[warwaged-moved]

Azem blows a kiss to her dearest friend Hythlodaeus before she goes and dies in a random place. She is not drunk but she hasn’t slept in a while. Azem is sure she can taste colors now or maybe smell numbers? Who knows.

IC ASKS!! // always accepting 💕

They have known each other for long enough he can tell fairly easily when Azem isn’t, well, in the best of shapes --- but then again, it would be quite obvious to anyone after he asked just where she was going to, head tilted to the side as he awaited an answer and was left to watch her simply go on her merry way. A light shake of his head, and Hythlodaeus stands up. I wouldn’t do to leave her to wander around like that.

Irresponsible as he may be known to be ( and as Hades was ever fond of pointing out in the most exasperated tones ), he was not prone to simply ignore a friend in need, and Panacea most clearly needed the help. It does not take long for him to find her, not even managing to leave the house proper, simply sitting in the corner beside the door and promptly having fallen asleep.

A fist covers his mouth, but it does little to conceal his laughter or the amusement plainly writ on his face. That is what you get for always overexerting yourself, my friend. Always somewhere to be, some problem to solve; but even she ought to know rest is necessary if she means to continue doing what she does. Hythlodaeus shakes his head, then walks towards her, placing one of his arms to support her back and the other beneath her knees. He is not the strongest, but he can manage to carry her to a proper bed, at very least -- even if with some difficulty. 

Reaching the bedroom, he deposits his friend on the bed, her head now resting upon a pillow rather than propped against a wall; he throws a blanket upon Panacea unceremoniously, though she seems too far gone to actually know what’s going on. That should all be cured with a few hours of undisturbed, proper sleep. “ Sleep well my friend, ” He says, even if she likely won’t hear; then walks towards the door, words turning from affectionate to humorous. “ If anyone asks about you, I’ll be sure to point them in the opposite direction until you’re actually well-rested. ”

@luxprotector​ asked: azem just begins gifting him flowers because she just can't stand seeing him sad.

❝   hmmm...   ❞   he   pondered   for   a   moment   upon   entering   his   home   with   a   bouquet   of   beautiful   ELPIS   flowers.   a   sigh   escaped   the   KEYWARD’s   lips   as   he   searched   for   a   spot   to   place   the   vase   he   had   filled   with   water   and   few   ingredients   to   keep   them   alive   and   radiant.   ❝   oh   dear...   ❞   sharp-shaped   brows   creased,   finding   himself   completely   baffled   as   he   took   in   the   disarray   of   his   abode.   it   filled   with   a   collection   of   styled   flower   bouquets   of   many   different   kinds,   colors   and   sizes.   ❝   i   really   must   have   a   word   with   AZEM   or   else   i   shall   find   myself   becoming   a   flower   myself...   ❞

@luxprotector said:  Araya has a comb in her hand and has been looking at Estinien a little longer than usual. “… let me comb your hair, Estinien”

Estinien had met Araya’s gaze with a steady, unblinking one of his own. It was clear that there was something churning in her mind, and it was also clear that, whatever it was, it was going to be something he would come to regret. There was nothing specific that came to mind, nor any real reason he thought that outside of the fact that it was Araya, and most anything that involved her ultimately was coupled with his own intense regret. 

And his suspicions were proved correct as soon as she opened her mouth and spoke.

“No.” His reply was immediate, though after a moment the dragoon narrowed his eyes in contemplation. “... Why?”

[thosewecanyetsave]

@luxprotector said:  hand . (from araya to estinien)

The sight of her hand suddenly outstretched toward him, offered with a clear indication that he was meant to take it, had Estinien pausing for a moment. His sense of direction was fine; he wasn’t one known to getting lost, even through the winding alleyways and streets of a city like Radz-At-Han. Ishgard herself could be a fair bit of a labyrinth when one wasn’t accustomed to her, and Estinien had also visited the vibrant city long before his journey as a Scion had taken him here. 

And yet here she was, expecting him to take her hand as if she was afraid he would vanish in the crowds. 

Considering how much he stood out in his drachen armor (something that might have to be addressed before too long), it wasn’t like he could manage to slip away from her view with any ease. And yet...

“Trying to replace your babysitting duties with the twins with me?” The question was coupled with a slight cock of one brow as Estinien allowed for the viera to take his hand.

@luxprotector​​ asked: azem puts on his head a flower crown just because.

the   amalgam   of   flowers   had   been   carefully   chosen,   a   posy   of   various   vibrant   colours   arranged   in   a   circle   was   gently   placed   upon   his   head   the   moment   he   had   bowed   to   receive   the   gift.   he   was   touched,   this   simple   creative   gesture   had   no   mere   value.   no...   it   was   a   treasure.   a   smile   was   etched   on   the   KEYWARD's   lips,   chartreuse-colored   gaze   glimmered   as   the   lines   around   his   eyes   creased.

❝   thank   you.   i   will   cherish   this...   ❞

[tellusbane]

Azem gives him a forehead kiss.

Second kiss in a row. Is this just an Amaurotine thing to do?
