"Artur!!!" The young dragon's voice, full of excitement, echoes against the walls. If he hadn't been still youthful, it almost would have been imposing.

He all but flings himself at the other boy. Small as he may be, he is still a dragon of Goldoa - Goldoa's king at that - and he sends them both toppling to the ground with the force of his elation.

"It's been... a while; hasn't it?" So had happened. From Kurthnaga's official coronation to his father being... and even Nasir following him upon his return to the academy, "I have so much to tell you!"

"K-Kurth!" *The approaching Goldoan nearly knocked all of the wind out of Artur, but he didn't mind in the slightest, gladly returning the embrace as a big ol' smile crossed his face. He missed his partner so, so much.* "It's been far too long! I'm so sorry I didn't get to return as soon as I'd hoped. regardless... we've got all the time in the world now. I'd love to hear how things have been! Please, tell me everything." *These two probably looked like a proper pair of lovesick fools at the Ethereal Ball, but he didn't care in the slightest.*

"Although, umm.. we should probably get up, first. I think an occasion like this calls for proper celebration, after all."

In hindsight, she wasn’t sure what she had expected, but it definitely had not been this. Corrin’s lip screws up in a frustrated huff, the thin white thread between her fingers once more refusing to be led through her needle’s eye.

“This is awful,” she grumbles, eyes darting to the man beside her. He is the only one here that she recognizes from her group and, between them and the massive basket of torn clothing, is pulling far more weight.

Any natives to this foreign village look at them and sneer. Corrin huffs again.

“How are you so good at this?”

The Moon and You, In a Transparent Sky [Kurth & Artur]

Duke Maxifeld has received a letter detailing the planned heist of his family’s priceless heirloom - a weapon said to take on many an alternate form - during his upcoming annual ball. The Knights of Seiros have assigned you and your partner to attend undercover and find the wannabe thief before they act. The event is strictly for couples only. Better make your act convincing! [Grants Any Weapon +1]

Kurth taps his feather quill awkwardly against the wood of his desk as he stares at the letter before him. Right out of the book and already getting thrown back into his work at the monastery. Wouldn’t it be a little bit more customary to let him rest for a little while? Ah well, this certainly seemed like an urgent matter. He sighs, standing from the chair that he’d been moping in for a little bit too long. Might as well get it over with, if he really had to do this.

That left... finding someone to drag along with him to investigate. Which of course, wasn’t too much of a problem for him. He left his office, wandering the halls up towards the church across the bridge. His footsteps echo against the tiled floor in the cavernous hall, a small smile lighting across his face as he spotted the familiar ginger hair he’d been looking for. He carefully tapped the boy’s shoulder, enough to get his attention, but surely not enough to terribly startle him.

“Artur, dear, I was wondering if I could borrow you for a small mission? I’ll explain the details on the way. Only if you’re willing, of course!” He smiles, hoping that it will make him a bit more convincing. Sigh, he just really didn’t want to go alone, or force someone who was decidedly not Artur to come along with him. Better to not have to fake it, after all! Probably.

it takes a village to raise a wall

Non-wood-chopping-related timber thread!

     There’s been few chances to ride within the village of Rusalka. Their various chores are mostly better accomplished on foot, and that one nighttime battle atop the walls had hardly been a situation appropriate for mounted combat.

     Honestly, a large part of Andrei is relieved it hasn’t come to that yet. Despite introducing himself as such, the title of Bow Knight still weighs far too heavily upon him to feel natural. It’s the main reason why he’s taken so long to choose to make use of it once more, even after his arm had all but healed. It is a title that is earned, one that means something important to his house. One he has all but forfeit the moment he dared turn his weapon against not one, but two of full Yngvi blood. (Against family.)

     This, though, is different; a chance for his steed to stretch its legs, and to aid in the reconstruction of the damaged walls at the same time. Mistrust of the villagers aside, the walls definitely need to be maintained, at least as long as his team and the rest of the people of Garreg Mach are staying within these very same walls. The other villagers have been busy chopping wood as well, and now what remains is taking the bundles of timber to the outer edges of the village where the repair team can carry out their work. For this, a horse’s strength is well-suited.

     Andrei straightens up from the newly filled wagon harnessed to his steed. “Be ready to head out, Butterm—”

     (Someone’s standing right there.)

     “—ilk,” he finishes with a grimace, quickly reminded of the other reason he’d thus far avoided bringing his steed on missions where others were involved. Flushing in embarrassment, Andrei’s tone is curt when he next speaks.

     “...You’re here to assist as well, I take it.”

Sparkling Water: Fresh spring water that has been magically carbonated. Served with a squeeze of lime or a dash of one of the many fruit syrups available at the bartender’s disposal.

"Care for a drink, my dear?"

“A drink sounds wonderful, my love. Thank you.”

Even in the face of Artur’s slow building frustration due to an unfortunate encounter and not being able to make heads or tails of this unfortunate situation that befell the Ethereal Ball, Kurth’s presence was still very much a constant comfort. After all, they met through this very ball a year back. How the time flew!

“What a mythical looking drink.. although i’ve no doubts it’ll hit the spot.”

The Doctor Will See You Now

Artur wiped the sweat starting to form from his brow as he once again took a seat behind the desk. it appears that he was finally on his first mission, sent to this mysterious, tome-based world by the Projectionist. why they chose him of all people, he would never quite understand.. his usual priest’s robes were swapped out for that of the coat of a doctor, and although he had usually gotten to the source of what had ailed the common folk when they came to the Emperor’s castle in search of the doctor, which was, well... him. he only had surface level knowledge of medicine and sickness, but hey, he was doing a good job, apparently! The ever so familiar sound of the door opening was heard once again as another person stepped in, but.. they looked familiar. “Greetings. what seems to be ailing you today- wait....”
