I have no idea what he’s talking about, but I love listening to his voice.

         "...so you're limited in contact with the fairies of other seasons?" Azul's brows draw together and he tries to recall the mental map of Never Island he'd built during their trip. Pixie Hollow had been utterly charming and in its own way beautiful, but they'd not been able to go well beyond its borders.

          As someone who had been born in icy waters, the cold didn't bother him terribly much. But for Naira and her family among the Tree, he could understand how it would be a problem. Particularly with their wings being so delicate.

         "How are letters delivered then?" He asks, thoughtful and curious, peeling open an acorn's shell and offering it to her as the sun crept across the sky. "Are there mail-carrying talents or do you ask local animals to take them?"

                                                  -- @mostrohost

         "Jus' winter. Spring, summer, an' autumn can all visi' each otha freely." Naira remembers his curiosity about the winter woods.

          The offer for him to go alone had been given, that a winter fairy would help him if he truly wanted to explore. However, Naira hadn't made any preparations to make the trek on her own. The thermal coat she would have needed to craft or beg a sewing talent to help her make would have taken too long.

          He wanted to stay near her, which was fine on it's own too! A comfort to be near the only person he actually knew in a crowded colony.

          There was a gentle 'thank you' and a smile as she took the acorn shell from him. A common crafting material back home. The fairy finds herself stocking up on them frequently. Carts and every number of things needed repairs, and as someone large, she can make a handful of them faster than she could in her normal size. It wasn't something she mentioned, but the fact Azul had took notice was sweet of him.

          After storing it in her toolbag, there's a slight pause as she tries to think about it. "Well. . .we can go ta tha border an' jus' hand stuff over directly. I assume the mail fairies have times an' systems in place. If there's an emergency, tha animal talents can ask fer help. Bu' tha Warden of tha Winter Woods has his own owl an' a wolf I do believe. So while not outta tha realm of possibilities, i's a case o' findin' animals tha' can survive in both climates ta make tha journey. Unless someone is willin' ta take tha risk an' make i' themselves, dependen' on tha emergency."

          Naira pauses again, then looks at Azul with a raised eyebrow. "--Did ya wanna visit tha woods nex' time ya come? I can make arrangements so I can accompany ya."

          She'd be walking the whole time, of course. But worth it so Azul can enjoy the time, the fairy thinks.

❝As do I.❞ His words comes out gently, but he makes no further comment, making it clear that there is nothing he could do to change that fact. Jade could see the ripples in the waves, waters becoming cloudy the more he messes with it. Just like his relationship with Azul, though thrilling, had always came with its risks. ❝But you know why I couldn't. I—❞ a pause, ❝Mother spoke with me over the phone just yesterday.❞ What did she say? He could already hear Azul's voice permeating his mind, which he did. Jade could do nothing but offers his friend a faint smile. ❝She requires my presence back home. To learn how the business runs...❞ His voice trails off. It's not the first time they've had this conversation. Azul knows where it'll lead them, and Jade would rather leave it up to Azul's imagination, for better or worse.

[ 🖐️ ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat do their hands feel like: soft, calloused, trembling ?

[ 🪢 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhen was the last time they broke a promise ?

[ 🌒 ]ㅤ.ㅤdo they have a dream or goal they have given up on ?

[ 🖐️ ] Her hands are a little dry, with small callouses between her ring and middle finger on her left hand. But her grip is firm and with purpose, there's no hesitation in her movements. At rest they are often held in fists.

[ 🪢 ] Even before she became a Fae, she was serious about her promises. She's never broken a promise that was within her control to keep.

[ 🌒 ] Growing up she wanted to do ballet and sing. But having grown up with little money and all around poor living conditions until she was an adult these dreams were eventually shelved by the time she made it to high school. She's an excellent dancer and a beautiful singer though.

“—Wah?!”

Charles jolted in his chair, arms immediately flying out to catch Azul before he could slide off. His hands fumbled awkwardly at first, wrapping around Azul’s waist and shoulders like he wasn’t quite sure how to hold him.

“Are you okay?! What—how—??”

He blinked rapidly, heart hammering so loudly he was sure Azul could hear it. His entire face flared red from ear to ear, eyes wide and panicked.

The prince craned his head around, looking wildly from side to side. “Are you well?! Was there a crack in the floor?”

A million different scenarios of how Azul had ended up in his lap swam through his mind. Perhaps he fainted? Felt unwell? Tripped?

Whatever the cause, he didn’t need to know immediately. First things first — he had to make sure Azul was okay.

Still cradling Azul in his lap, Charles instinctively hugged him closer like a mother hen, checking him over for injuries. “You didn’t twist your ankle, did you?! Bruise anything?! I—I know CPR if you need it!”

(He absolutely did not need CPR. But Charles was panicking.)

Finally, realising Azul wasn’t, in fact, dying, Charles deflated a little — though the bright flush stubbornly remained on his cheeks. He ducked his head shyly, a nervous little laugh slipping out as he mumbled against Azul’s shoulder:

“…I always knew you’d fall for me one day. Just… not quite this literally…”

A beat.

“…Though I’d appreciate it if you didn’t do that again. My heart can’t handle it.”

He clung to Azul just a little tighter, as if afraid the universe would make him fall again.

You've quite the knack for finding the bright side of things, haven't you?

The prince lets out a soft chuckle at those words. It’s true—he often did see the glass as half-full, no matter the situation.

Effortless.

Or so it seemed.

“May I tell you a secret, Az?”

He scoots closer, craning his head to whisper by Azul’s ear. “Sometimes… I find it very difficult to do so.”

For a moment, the usual gleam in Charles’s eyes dims into something softer — a glimpse beneath the easygoing mask he wears so well.

“Sometimes, it feels like the world is made of ice,” he murmurs, “and no matter how hard I look, there’s no warmth to be found. Like I could freeze over completely if I stop moving—if I stop trying.”

He leans back just enough to meet Azul’s gaze. His smile lingers, but it’s different now — gentler, touched with something bittersweet.

“But if I stop believing … if I decide there’s nothing good…”

He trails off with a small shrug, his hand absentmindedly toying with the edge of his cloak — a small, telling gesture.

“…Then I’d miss out on all the beautiful things that make life worth living.” His voice softens further, a quiet, earnest smile curling at the corner of his lips.

“Like you.”

The words are spoken with a light, teasing lilt — but the sincerity woven through every syllable is unmistakable, as plain as the warmth shining quietly in his eyes.
