Mercy, but she does have a lot of questions. Luckily, Spartos is a man of endless patience and a soft spot for little ones.. even if he oftentimes doesn’t quite know how to handle them. He manages to maintain his unflappable demeanor as he considers how best to answer her.

Well, almost.

❝Thank you for the compliment, miss,❞ he murmurs with a bow of his head, a hint of a blush dusting his cheeks. It fades quickly enough as he moves on. (And surely, she doesn’t mean…)

❝I have no relation to the Fanalis. And this–❞ and here, he gestures to his lance, ❝–is a weapon. It is designed to be wielded while mounted, but we can make good use of it on foot as well.❞ He pauses; perhaps he’s being too wordy for a child.

“You’re welcome! I like your hair! I’ve never seen anyone who wears their hair like that before! And I’ve only seen fanalis with hair that red!”

“Oooooo---” She looked at the lance curiously, though she knew better than to touch things identified as weapons without permission. “It looks heavy---is it heavy?”

❝ Normally I’d be against this, but I’m okay with it. ❞

                   The jovial king beams a grin that was full of anything but innocents, he was happy to have help in his childish schemes. “You grab the rope, I’ll get the costumes.” Weather or not the other was actually going to participate was another questions. But Sion didn’t really mind either way, so long as he wasn’t outed to his victim. “They is going to be silence and then surprise.” He further explained, already slipping on the boots.

happy birthday sinbad // open

@solemnlance​ asked:

"I hope you have a wonderful birthday, Your Majesty." Spartos had put a lot of thought into what to offer as a gift to his king, taking into consideration that Sinbad is already likely in possession of plentiful drink and jewelry. He prefers to err on the side of practicality, anyhow, and so he presents a small box containing an intricately crafted brush and a quality whetstone.

A brush and whetstone, definitely something the young man had put so much thought into. These would prove to keep his metal vessels and weapons at their best qualities. He could tell that Spartos put so much thought into this. Hell, the way Sinbad smiled it was as if a child had gotten sweets. Even the country of Sindria hailed him and had offered gifts but Sinbad made it a point to let the people know that a simple bottle of wine or even liquor was all they had to leave at the palace, or more importantly cards with heartfelt words. He’d spend..days or weeks at a time reading each and every single one of them with his generals because those were truly the gifts from the heart as well. “I can’t thank you enough, Spartos.” The king held his gifts within the box with pride before planting a hand upon the young knight’s shoulder. “However, truly the greatest gift you’ve given me is you friendship and your undying loyalty towards both this country and your home and for that..the debt can never be repaid.”

@solemnlance Continued From Here

Things had been quiet around the queen. She had limited visitors, usually only one or two a day that were not Sinbad or Ja’far who had been in charge of her care. Mostly her family came to visit, her mother bringing food, her grandfather sharing stories, and her brother Sota and his recently adopted daughter Towa all reading Sinbad’s adventure stories together. Other than them, she sometimes got visitation from one of the eight generals, but that seemed like a rarity these days. 

That was by design due to her circumstances, of course. Kagome had been stuck inside a coma where she was shown a twisted version of her life brought about by the worst thing she could imagine, her friends turning against her and using her for her powers. After she had admitted this to her husband and Ja’far, it seemed like the word had spread to the ears of the generals and thus had caused them to limit their visitation. It was a considerate action that she certainly appreciated. Though, she certainly can’t deny the isolation she was feeling being mainly stuck in her bed during this recovery period...

That’s why Spartos’ random visit while Sinbad had gone to a meeting causes her to smile. She was not close with the young knight at all, Kagome being closer to his older brother who had stepped down as a general due to his injuries sustained during the Sindrian War all those years back. Maybe that was why his appearances in her nightmares were so minimal, since she did not know him that well and thus was not a good target for the curse to focus on like it did with her husband and adopted brother. She had wanted to get to know Spartos better, but the circumstance of her wedding and then the attack by Al Tharman had prohibited her. Guess now was as good as time as any, right? 

“I’m doing...alright. I’ve got my apatite back, but it’s still be hard to walk and...get sleep. Thank you for your concern, Spartos.” At his mention of leaving, she moves to gently place a hand on his. “You...You don’t have to go. I’d...very much like your company. I...I have not gotten much of it aside from Sinbad, Ja’far, and my family, as you can imagine. So...if you could stay for a while, I’d appreciate it.”

@solemnlance​​ Sent:  🍁 + Any question you’ve been curious to know about my muse!

🍁What's Kagome's favourite part about being a magi?

To be honest? NOTHING. NOTHING WHATSOEVER. 

Kagome DESPISES being a magi. It’s brought her nothing but pain and suffering since the day it was revealed she was one . Every new days seems to find another reason these powers and role she was born into, things she didn’t want or ask for, are just curses rather than blessings. It puts her family, her friends, and herself at risk constantly, always knowing there are those out here who want her for her power and will do anything to get it. Doesn’t help that’s also paired with her constantly being told she is just the replacement for her ancestor, the previous magi Kikyo she was directly reborn from. 

Really, if there was to be a part about it she would find her favorite, it would because of it she met everyone, including a found family, and the love of her life. That is the only good thing to come out of being a magi for Kagome, and if given the choice, she’d give up her power.

@solemnlance​ asked ; Your favourite Ja'far ship.  👀 

Send a ship || Accepting

It’s Sinja which I answered below, so for the sake of answering for something else I just picked randomly out of ships I’ve had in the past. I’m honestly super open to shipping with Ja’far like I’ll consider most things. Like if ur willing to put up with him you can have him lol. So we’re going with Enja bc I’ve rped that and I thought it’d be fun to answer lmaooo

SEND ME A SHIP AND I’LL TELL YOU…

Who’s the cuddler? Neither tbh but Kouen is a ‘hand on your back or waist’ kind of person

Who makes the bed? Both are pretty good with the upkeep

Who wakes up first? They’re both fairly early risers. A lot of the time once one is up the other will be shortly after.

Who has the weird taste in music? Kouen’s the type to put the radio on and not pay any mind to the station. But in general, he’s definitely a history buff podcast type while Ja’far is more into true crime (and offering critique much to the horror of everyone around them)

Who is more protective? Both are protective types and can be violent when the situation arises. Ja’far is more the type who tells you to stay behind while he goes on ahead to fight. Kouen is the type to bodily put you behind him. Kouen is also more outright about it and looks scary.

Who sings in the shower? Neither, they’re both lost in thought

Who cries during movies? Neither they mostly watch documentaries together.

Who spends the most while out shopping? Probably Kouen bc he’s a rich kid but he’s not really excessive about it. But Kouha has made it clear that he shouldn’t be trusted buying his own clothes.

Who kisses more roughly? Kouen

Who is more dominant? Kouen but Ja’far’s not exactly the swooning submissive type.

SMASH or PASS? Smash, I’ve rped this in mostly au settings and despite being antagonistic in canon I think they’d get along decently well being workaholic nerds together.

@solemnlance​​ Liked For A Starter From Pisti! (Accepting!)

“Spartos! Hey, Spartos!” The general calls to the other, running like the wind through the entranceway of the palace where her closest friend seemed to be returning from a sparing session with Sharrkan. As soon as she gets to him, she jumps up to grab his shoulder. Pisti’s tiny feet dangle as she uses one hand to hold on and another to point towards the city below, her excitable nature beaming around her as if she were the sun itself. 

“I heard from a little birdie that there are some new things in the marketplace, today! Will you please please please go shopping with me? It will be so much more fun with you there, and then we can get something to eat afterword!”

@solemnlance​ !!!

She had been tending to her flowers throughout the afternoon, having finished her royal duties much faster than expected. Kagome, in comparison to her husband the king, was always better at managing her time and getting things done. It had not always been that way, but they were skills she learned throughout the time she worked at the Sindria Trading Company that were not translating to her royal duties as the Queen of Sindria. After all, she had to make time to tend to her flowers, the beautiful creations of her love and magic that she cherished ever so deeply.

At the current moment she was sitting under her cherry blossom tree, the woman making sure it had plenty of magic to stay in bloom before sitting underneath it to relax. The pink petals dropped all around her, their petals flowing in the sea air all around her flowers. She had planted a variety of them, ranging from those native to this country and some she had gotten during any travels she had to other lands. They were planted together to create an array of colors that some have said was akin to a rainbow in beauty. The non floral plants, such as the herbs, were kept inside the Pink Taurus Tower while the flowers shined out here for all to see. She took pride in her work, Kagome always happy when she could share it with others. 

And it looks like she might have that chance now as she sees the Sasan general approach, the queen granting him a smile. “Hello there, Spartos. Have you come out here to join me? Relaxation is a key aspect of training, you know. And I’ve been seeing how hard you’ve been training that Household Vessel of yours with your big brother. He is so proud of you, as are all of us. So please, if you have the time join me.”
