Elaina jumped for joy when she found the large building. She didn't know what she was expecting to find when exploring the forest but the result was more than welcome. A library! A beautiful one at that. She's in awe at the sights, taking in all the beauty that matched herself and so much knowledge that she could dive into.

She picks a shelf and scans the titles, nearly all of them referring to magic in some way. She picks up one of the books and squints at how illegible the text is. She tries another and huffs unhappily due to the smudge and wear of the pages. Each book she opens, the words were too faded to read and she feels like she's being toyed with. Looking around, she spots a stranger and decides that she should share her frustration with another in hopes that it will be taken away.

"Excuse me, are you perhaps studying the magic texts as well? I'm having the worst luck at deciphering the words on the books I've picked out of the shelves so far. Have you had better luck?" She asks, hoping this was the case. The robe the stranger wears infer the possibility of also being a mage though the hood and mask are unorthodox. Not to mention the lack of a hat. But otherwise, Elaina shoots her shot. Maybe the reason she couldn't find any legible books is due to them all being used already and this person seemed to have a sizable stack.

     NESTLED IN THE HEART OF ward Cotes lies a newly opened pharmacy ready for business. The scent of burning incense would draw almost any curious patron in, the aroma of dried herbs a lure upon stepping inside, and the smiling man at the counter would reel them there to stay. The afternoon is marked by a boy who wanders in, but for what reason Baizhu isn’t sure. No matter, his voice is a soft sing-song across the shop to greet him, all too delighted to have a potential customer.      “ Welcome~ ”  The smile he wears is a pleasant crescent of pearl white. He sorts the chest of many small drawers tucked in a small room behind the counter, its doorway framed by curtains pulled back, before he shuts one and saunters forward into the threshold of the shop. “ Is there something I can do for you? ”

03.  the empress  :  does your muse have parental / nurturing figures in their life ? how do they impact them ?

04.  the emperor  :  how much respect does your muse have for authority ? why is this ?

:^)

:^) indeed

The Empress: does your muse have parental / nurturing figures in their life? how do they impact them? Maybe if Belos had some sort of nurturing figure in his life he wouldn't be the way he is. The closest thing he has to a guiding figure is the Titan and his will, but it's a bit unclear if Belos actually speaks with him or if it's a lie he uses to control the populace. Otherwise, Belos takes on a rather paternalistic role himself.

...

The Emperor: how much respect does your muse have for authority? why is this? The only authority Belos seems to abide by is his own, as he has established himself as the ultimate figure in the Boiling Isles. As such, any challenges to his say are responded to swiftly and with great firepower. While he does reward others with prestige and power, it is extremely conditional. Coven heads may see to their subordinates however they will provided they stay within the emperor's parameters. As stated previously, the Titan is supposedly the only thing above him, though this may be a ruse.

Belos paused at a crossroads in the halls of the castle, pondering whether he should return to the festivities or perhaps retire to the cellar for the night.

As he stood attempting to make a decision, the brush of what seemed to be a familiar white cloak turning the corner caught his eye. Narrowing his eyes, he followed it into the hallway, wanting to confirm his suspicion.

Indeed, he’d recognize that silhouette anywhere. Immediately, anger at the Stars of Isola stewed in the emperor’s chest, knowing just how deeply they seemed to have gone to interfere with his plans. Yet to his surprise another emotion arose, one he couldn't quite place nor was particularly conscious of. It seemed to be an aching for familiarity, a more down-to-earth need to feel secure in an unstable world, perhaps even a touch of compassion. The mask provided by the fairies may have altered his appearance beneath his usual accessory, but to his chagrin did little to untangle the uneasy conflict of feelings that were harbored within his chest.

Either way, the emperor was not about to let the Golden Guard go unnoticed. His nephew should be happy to see him, after all.

"I hope I am not interrupting," Belos stated, his voice just loud enough to carry down the hall. "I'm saddened to see you caught in the same predicament as I, though I cannot say I am unhappy to see you."

“You new or something?” The dust system in Spirale seemed to trip up a lot of newcomers; that’s how Mizi was able to spot them from a mile away. They’d come into his bakery, order something, then they’d hesitate when he told them their total. It happened so frequently that Mizi ended up putting helpful how-to diagrams on the walls of his bakery; just to save some people the embarrassment of asking the employees for assistance. 

But sometimes...people would miss the posters.
