Knight in Shining Armor || Felicity & Forte

@forte-days-and-knights;

[ ♥ ] — Felicity had been in Arcadia for an overnight assignment, covering one of the local restaurants for her next review article. She had spent a good amount of the day scoping it out. Dining and judging the quality of the food, all the while keeping an eye on the restaurant’s level of service and other functions.

After gathering what she deemed was a sufficient amount of data, the waitress heads back to the inn she was staying in. The sun was already set, and the roads were iced with days’ worth of piled up snow. Compared to Leuda, Arcadia had a severe lack of street lights, so the roads had been much darker than she anticipated.

It wasn’t so dark that she couldn’t find her way, however, so she didn’t really mind it. Of course, she had no idea about the criminals that liked to lurk about at this time of evening-- or perhaps, the possibility of their existence had simply slipped her mind. But Felicity gets a very stark reminder in the form of an unfamiliar arm snaking around her waist, the woman shrieking as she gets roughly pulled against a larger, and plainly male, body. 

She tries to struggle against him, to no avail. He was much stronger than her, and breaking out of his hold was proving to be an incredibly difficult task. When he mumbles something about stealing her money, or else, she grows even more frantic.

“H-hel---!” Before Felicity could call for assistance, she feels a hand clamp over her mouth, muffling her words as she begins to get dragged away.

𝓫𝓽𝓽𝓹: 𝓱umble 𝓫eginnings || forte & vishnal

✧ Kids can be cruel, people say.

✧ Vishnal didn’t believe that when he was 11. (He doesn’t believe it now, either, but 11′s the age we’re at.) Why would kids be mean to him? He helped them all the time, and they always looked grateful when he reported he was done with something.

✧ His current objective: clean up a mess.

✧ There’s a tiny part of him that wonders why someone would spill so many jacks across the ground at a park, but he doesn’t want to make anyone feel bad for being a klutz if he asks. So he’ll sit here and collect them eagerly, every single one. He’ll be able to join the others once he’s cleaned this up for them, easy.

✧ It doesn’t occur to them that maybe they’re just using him because they see him helping the teacher all the time. He hears teacher’s pet whispered sometimes, but he doesn’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing. He always gets a ‘thank you’ from the teacher, and a smile! There’s nothing wrong with getting a smile, right?

✧ (When told of his new status as, uh... chore-doer in class, his mother had an odd look on her face and said, “Well, darling, don’t forget to have fun with the rest of them, alright?” But there’s nothing more fun than making people’s lives easier, so he doesn’t know why she was so adamant on it...)

floral familiarity

✧ No, Vishnal hasn’t abandoned Kiel yet! And he sure wasn’t going to forget him on his flower list, which... turned out much longer than last year, wow! His last two individual deliveries come in the form of Kiel and his sister, who is just as lovely as a human as her brother. The odd, but somehow fitting, pair.

✧ Kiel gets one white calla lily (purity) and three red alstroemerias (friendship and devotion) while Forte gets four red alstroemerias. They’re gathered in Vishnal’s hand when he visits, knocking on the door quickly with a grin on his face.

✧ “Hello!” he greets, and brandishes the flowers. “Flowers for one of my favorite families on the islands! Thank you for your companionship, and for... putting up with me, heh.”

✧ Kiel, for putting up with his food, and Forte for just... carrying him, metaphorically. Well, and sometimes literally.

Violet asked Chatzy to choose between new island, pirates, ???, new island, new island, empty tank, titanic, pirates, pirates, thunderstorm, empty tank, titanic and new island. Chatzy chose: thunderstorm Violet was sitting down in the boat, wondering what they would find this time. While her last...

A Familiar Face || Ivan & Forte

It all the time Ivan had been here, wandering the island and making a modest living for himself, he had never once seen her. He reached a point where he wasn’t sure if he was purposely avoiding her, or simply wasn’t aware it was her. He never really gave it a second thought of questioned it until now. In all his efforts to avoid the stress and emotions of introducing himself to Raguna-- as a stranger, no less-- he had simultaneously avoided the knight at his side. He had failed to put the pieces together and remember the young girl who ran about the castle, doing her utmost to protect his brother. He had failed to recall the girl who returned without him all those years ago. The one who failed as a knight to protect one of the few people in Ivan’s life who mattered.

No. No. She was only ten at the time. It wasn’t reasonable to put all of the blame on her-- there should have been enough knights there to properly protect all of them. These constantly battling thoughts contested against what he was supposed to be doing at that moment. It had been a moment of his own absence of thought in which he realized he was faced with the blonde haired knight. They had been walking down the trail in opposite directions and almost collided into each other. In a moment of stunned confusion, Ivan had lost himself in these terrible thoughts, and although he opened his mouth, it took a moment before words came out. “Forte..?”
