[ Killian looked up from his WORK, carefully sorting dried
Fanged Geranium flowers out by size into three different
containers. He was G R A T E F U L for a break if he was
honest, this was hardly very engaging work, after all.. ]
❝ —— Oh, hey Amara, your brother's not in
at the moment if that's why you're here? He's
out with a SUPPLIER I think. Said he'd be
back at.. ❞
[ He glanced up at the CLOCK above the premade potions
display. ]
❝ ... well, not too long actually, TEN MINUTES. ❞
[ He gave her an apologetic look. QUIETLY, Killian almost
hoped she'd stay, so he could at least talk to someone as
he did this. Despite the odd boring task, he apothecary was
going well, while they were relatively N E W still, they were
already booming as a business and Killian was quite PROUD
of him and Draco for pulling it off. ]
She's gonna pinch his cheek and pull her hand away before he can catch it, keeping her good distance. "It's such a shame you're always so explosive." If the looks only shared things with his personality...
Confess something to my blindfolded muse
She may have pulled away in time but it didn’t stop him from trying to bite her soft hand. He could hardly tell faces apart, no way he was going to identify her by her voice. “So sorry my personality is such a nuisance for you.” He rolled his eyes not that she could see that.
Spring took to the land readily, and with the thawing frost and longer light hours came ever-more responsibilities for the Captain of the Red Wings – the least of which was certainly not overseeing new recruits. Given the prestige of the corps, rivalled only by that of Kain's heritage, only fourteen were lined up before him, and few of them were truly green. Although a few of them did look like they were barely old enough to formally serve.
Those, his eyes lingered on – though it was never long enough to give any hint to the question that hid behind his cold gaze. And as he looked over them, each in turn, the Holy Dragoon himself may as well have been made of stone; were it not for the slow, even footsteps that carried him down the line, he might have been mistaken for a statue with the way he held his chin up, shoulders back – the posture of a man with military discipline etched into his very bones.
(Perhaps as a result, only a blessed few of them dared to meet his eyes.)
And at the line's end, he let out a sigh so soft as to be barely audible, and an ever-so-subtle smile crept across his lips.
“Welcome to the Red Wings.”
ooc;
so it's been a while?? sorry about that. also lol psyche that's the end of the writing thing i wanted to make it at least look like i've been productive. i haven't. but at least i have 4 lv60 classes in xiv eh???? (drg nin btn and min! i have no life. but i do have a house so i'm already better off than the 90%.)
i'm going to try to be more active here but i can't make any guarantees really, mostly because IV isn't really a super popular game and i... don't really like crossovers at all, and the only reason i kind of allow them is because i'd like to keep the door open for interactions... but at the same time while i love kain i kind of feel like i've written myself into a corner with him.
since well my headcanons about his attitudes toward other characters are pretty specific. and all.
that said i guess i'll try and make a verses page since i do have some aus for him, but i also kind of wanna throw out the fact that i'm completely open to plan au interactions insofar as it's, like, an au where both our characters fit the setting. none of that "oh i'm suddenly in this world or that world, hi there" stuff; i kind of actually really hate that genre. kind of like "i'm kind of lost" intro threads. tell kain that you're lost and his first instinct will probably be to direct most people to a tailor, kek also insofar as non-general aus go i'm also gonna go ahead and make it a thing that i'm only goign to participate in interactions w/ aus planned between two people... with that other person orz because technically the aus aren't... canon... at all. and i'm usually only invested with them with the other/s i've bounced them around with. /flopstheyre just for fun rly
needless to say everything is basically dropped, i mean, i was looking forward to some stuff over here but i k i n d a feel like a piece of shit for disappearing without warning again and i mean i don't expect people to reply to stuff i was waiting on if ive been waitin for stuff for like a million years. at some point its just kinda dropped in my head so....idkidk
if people could direct me toward other iv blogs that would be great though?? because i mean other ff games are nice and all but... i get the most out of rping with other characters from the same verse, thats just how it is?? shrug
at this point i may as well just stay gone because lol wat is ffiv fandom but i love kain so
Of course, Optimus. *Bulk had the Prime sit and then took his hand in his, demonstrating how to angle their hands for this game.*
The point of this is strength and patience. If one is stronger than the other they can easily win. But when you get two of the same or similar strength, then it becomes a real game. See who can knock down whos hand.
♘;; — ❝ I see. ❞
Leaning over the low table between them, he braced himself in the chair and met Bulkhead’s optics with an even gaze. ❝ Have I, or have I not, seen the children playing something similar? Miko and Jack, rather; Raf does not seem to be the type to enjoy such contests of strength. ❞
