Could you please tell us what are the ROs love troupes?
Rune: Royal/Commoner, arranged marriage (but it’s not you they’re arranged to marry)
Thorne: Outcast/Outcast, he’s rich but his birth was a scandal, likes causing problems on purpose
Llyr/Llyra: A political nightmare, forbidden romance, second chance romance (optional)
Talya: Doesn’t realize she’s in love, cold but secretly very emotional
Malak: Suspicion at first sight, only soft for you, slow burn of the century
Aster/Astra: Doomed romance (or?)
Yan: Human/Supernatural, marine biologist exploring the wildlife
Haakon: Monster/Non-Monster, touch starved
“You’re holding it all wrong,” Thorne grasps your hands, his lips curled in amusement, “It’s not a sword.”
“I don’t even know how to use a sword,” You complain, “So that comparison is kind of useless.”
“Do you have any combat training at all?” He asks, his eyes roaming over your form.
You shrug, “I did karate for like a month in middle school.”
Thorne chuckles, “So that’s a no.”
The sound is rich and reverberates in your ears; you’d bottle it if you could. The you could hear it whenever you like.
You snap back into reality when he takes the trident back from you. Striding further onto the shore, he makes sure he has plenty of room in all directions before he begins. His footing is sure even on the shifting sand, and when he moves you can barely keep track of him. He twists and turns like the tide itself, the gold of his hair and trident both glinting in the sun.
He comes to an abrupt halt, thrusting the trident in your direction. It’s far enough away that there’s no chance of you being hurt, but close enough that you can see a bead of sweat slip down his forehead.
“Want to try?” He asks, not even breathless.
“Try that?” You look at him incredulously, “Not a chance. I’d fall on my face.”
“Not that,” Thorne stands up properly, rolling his eyes with an easy smile, “That was me showing off. No, I meant some basics.”
He twirls the trident in his hand, effortlessly catching it by one of the prongs and offering it to you by the shaft. You accept, hesitant, still unused to the weight of the cool metal in your hands.
Thorne comes behind you, warm hands shifting your grasp on the weapon and helping you aim. He rests his chin on his shoulder and, though you can’t see him, you’d bet money on his grinning like a fool.
“This is the part where you’d stab someone,” He whispers, his mouth far too close to your ear for your sanity.
“Are you offering?” You ask dryly, trying to hide any and all evidence of the way he affects you.
“Oh, no, no.” He tuts playfully, “I like to remain blissfully unstabbed, thank you.”
“We might change that before the day is over,” You mutter.
You can feel his body shake against yours as he laughs and your heart is beating furiously. He pulls away, and you turn to look at him.
“Now, do it without me.” He instructs, smirking, “I’ll see you competent with a weapon yet.”
“Why are you so insistent on it?” You ask as you try to recall how he’d positioned his hands.
“I’d like to keep you in one piece,” He quips, “Something you’ve made quite difficult to accomplish.”
You ignore the jab, but you can’t ignore the way you feel heat rushing to your face.
thorne,,,,,,take the sash off. take the sash off, thorne.
You ask, @stephschoices answers 🤲
Dakota please tell us EVERYTHING about Thorne I’m already so abnormal about him. Can I please also say something in appropriate about him? 🙋🏼
Some facts about Thorne Varela, coming right up!
• His father is human and also doesn’t know he exists.
• Thorne was bullied as a child for being a tailless illegitimate child (not to mention having a human parent). He became very popular in his late teenage years, however, as he grew up to be quite handsome. It was jarring for Thorne and definitely made him put too much stock in his looks.
• Thorne has never been in a serious relationship. It’s hard for him to want to date/open up to the same people who ridiculed him not too long ago.
• Don’t think he doesn’t enjoy the attention, though. Having people fawn over him feels like a big middle finger to everyone who talked shit about him and his mom.
• He knows the elders of the other noble pod families hate him because of the circumstances around his birth and his ‘defects.’ In turn, he likes to make their lives miserable.
So since Thorne doesn’t have a tail or fins because he’s half human does the same applies for the MC?
Nope! Thorne is a very unusual case. Typically even half-human sirens would have a tail.
As for MC, having a tail or not is the player’s decision.
Does Thorne resent his mom at all??
Thorne loves his mom so much and she totally dotes on him, to be honest. She also 100% approves of his antics with the other upperclass socialites.
