Dearest, Sweetest Eirika | L’Arachel & Eirika

@restorationprincess

Today. Today was the day that L’Arachel would finally see her best friend. There had been too many days between the last time they had seen each other, and today. So Terribly Many days where L’Arachel had been swept off her path to seeing Sweet Eirika, oh so many days. It was a tragedy.

“A True Sorrow,” L’Arachel said to herself, as she marched her horse up the long walk from village to castle. 

But! That Sorrow was ending. Would be ended. For Now! After So Long!!! L’Arachel would finally see Eirika again. Soon!!!

And oh, the wondrous things she could tell Eirika about! Oh, the many things she has done in the time between visits.

Mitama inhaled slowly. It soothed her nerves, much like her hands as they smoothed out whatever wrinkles may have been in her dress. There was no need for her to lose her composure. Not for a simple task as this.

Traveling had never struck her interests until she realized what potential their was for inspiration in the world outside her home. And with gates more common and other worlds available, the call of what wonders could be discovered was far too strong for even her to ignore. Still, traveling took money, but she was fortunate enough to not struggle too severely in that realm.

There was always a need for healers, and in the rare cases there weren’t, bored nobles always enjoyed the arts.

What little she’d chanced to see in Renais was beautiful, but assuring she’d have a room to sleep and food to eat had trumped her explorations. It had been surprisingly easy to talk her way into entertaining the allegedly young queen. Now just remained the task of doing so, and hopefully well enough.

The door opened, and the one who’d allowed her entrance beckoned her. Mitama stiffened, breathed again, and followed him in. The room was beautiful, and it did not take her long to see the queen herself was as well. Mitama bowed politely.

“Mitama of Hoshido, Your Majesty.”

Although word had been sent well ahead of time to Castle Renais of her intended visit, Ismaire wondered if perhaps she had been too hasty in arriving. The announcement of her return was just a month ago. Had word of it even reached this far outside Jehanna yet? A part of her wished the news had just died on the peoples’ tongues, the whole thing forgotten -- better yet, that the rumors had never been necessary to begin with.

Even the land looked and smelled and felt differently underneath the march of her heel as she was led inside the castle walls. What must these halls have looked like when things felt normal? Ismaire wondered. Figments of her imagination would follow in her wake as she continued to move forward, ever the valiant one. They would clink their glasses and toast to merrier days that some would never come to know.

Upon reaching a solitary room to wait in, Ismaire was offered a seat, her escorts asked to stand outside the room for the sake of privacy. With a nod from their charge, her gifts were neatly placed upon a nearby table and she was left alone to wait for the Queen of Renais to make her entrance.

Swordplay || Eldigan & Eirika

Following General Seth’s directions, Lord Eldigan made his way through the Frelian compound to Princess Eirika’s chambers. En route, Eldigan had stopped by the blacksmith’s to purchase himself an inexpensive iron sword specifically for the occasion.

What is the occasion, you ask? To sharpen the Renais royal’s skills with the sword. Eldigan wasn’t about to duel with Mystletainn-- as it certainly wasn’t fair to his inexperienced opponent. Plus, it would kill her.

Poised before Eirika’s temporary room, the Lionheart gripped the knocker and rapped it against the wooden surface, anticipating a response.

They were meant to return to Windmire in the morning, after a particularly successful peacekeeping trip with the Ice Tribe. Unfortunately for all of Xander’s plans, the cabin they’d stayed in -- quite humble, deliberately so -- was rather remote. Remote enough that even should he dig them out himself, he’d still have all the roads to face. There was no way their mounts could travel back in such conditions. 

He turned to Eirika, the curtains all drawn to show the heavy snowfall. They had plenty of firewood, fresh water, and food that he could prepare, at least, but he still felt a pang of guilt. She had to be eager to return to her home.

“I’m terribly sorry,” he said. “I ought to have planned better... we won’t be able to return to the capital for at least another day.”

15: My muse having phone sex with somebody

“Eirika, wait! Let me explain...” Seth threw his phone onto a pile of props with a soft whump. He had forgotten that the twins had stopped by that day. Dating his boss’ daughter was obviously a terrible plan, so he’d gone with the next best thing: dating other people in the hopes that he’d forget how hopelessly smitten he was with her. It was working out about as well as could be expected; he was trying new things, pushing the boundaries of his comfort zone.The woman he was currently seeing went by Erina, and just as he was getting changed back into his street clothes, he’d gotten a phone call. Since he kept his phone on silent while at the fair, he would not have noticed, had it not been on the table at the time. I have a proposition for you...It had seemed like innocent fun. His breath racing at the idea of such a departure from the norm...But, of course it was not to be.

Eirika had entered to find him in a deeply compromising position; flushed, bare chest, breeches pulled to his knees, one hand fumbling with the ties of his period undergarments while whispering sultry suggestions to his paramour over the phone. Worried she might have caught some of his comments, Seth hoped he had used the correct name. It wasn’t that he didn’t think of her in that sense, no, that had been what had gotten him into this situation to begin with...It was that he didn’t want her to know that he had...entertained fantasies, of the two of them, together...Naked, sweaty, tangled in his bedsheets...Now was really not the time to be thinking about this. Blushing darkly, he cleared his throat, pulling the breeches back up, and covering the conspicuously growing bulge with one of his hands. Fuck it, there really was no good way to explain this, was there?“Who let you back here?” he managed to croak out after a few seconds.

He’ll avoid it for a while, but he’ll come around once he’s really certain about it. He expects rejection or to be not as good as someone else (his older siblings are the ones he would expect to be the “better” choice), so for a while he won’t do anything. He’ll know how he feels, but he’ll delay telling the person until he’s certain person will either let him down lightly or perhaps not at all.

Until he’s actually admitted it, he’ll deny it for a while. If nobody brings it up, he of course won’t have to, but if someone were to point it out then he would contest it to them. Especially because of wartime, it makes feelings far more difficult for him, and someone could die at any time in a battle, and there are other things that need to be worried about. If he believes he has a shot at returned affection, he’ll go for it after waiting a while, but Takumi never really expects to quietly settle down.

Overall, he would keep working and doing whatever he can, so keeping a low profile and settling down is pretty much out of the question. He wants to be able to prove himself and have a place among his family that goes beyond just being family, though he would definitely want down time and someone to relax around when the day was over. For him, peace and quiet don’t go hand in hand, so there will always be things to do for him even if he’s with someone.

For the most part, he just wants to have a completely normal life - the same as any civilian. For him, part of being in love would be being able to experience an average life, and even though he’ll hold back for a while at first, it’s something he wants. Love isn’t the first thing he’s trying to pursue, but it’s something he hopes shows up along the way.
