@valhyr said: ringed claws curl 'neath his jaw , drawing the turk forward. painted lips brush rather chastely at the corner of his mouth ( imprint of lipstick therein left ) , words whispered with the usual snare of rich smokiness and no sore lack of fondness , "good to see you , red." // verona
Roseate lips curve into a complacent line, eyelids lower for a content, focused look. Turquoise irises reflect a shine of silver, a molten moon into Verona’s striking optics. A low hum emits as the Turk remains still in his position, chin basking in the cool touch of her fingertips. The feel of plush lips is warm in contrast. His expression softens, relaxed is a state of the soul that carries through the man in the current moment.
“Likewise. We got a lotta catchin’ up to do, huh. How’s life treatin’ ya, ‘Rona?”

「 ROMANCE WISE - YEAH I’M NOT SURE TO BE HONEST - I would be down to test things because it feels like there could be some potential! For sure! But also again it boils down to how they interact (I promise I’ll get on things I’m just painfully slow SOBS ) There is interest there though, but know I’d never push for anything if it’s not what you’re up for! <3 」

「 SO - I could see them being enemies, but for the KH verse, not unless there was a huge misunderstanding or if she was being antagonistic on purpose or a threat. I ammmm sliding my FF7 verse over even though I know very little, but I could see there being more of an enemy-styled relationship there? Or at least some form of conflict. 」

「 Iughhyhdjsadlkas - so I accidentally deleted this bit when editing but aaaaa - It’s basically the same as Lea’s! I can’t see them knowing eachother all that well as children, but they must’ve known eachother as kids or bumped into eachother since they all were from Radiant Gardens. For friends, I could see them definitely reaching that point fast since Leon did meet Isa post KH3, knows enough about his past to feel sympathetic, and understands that he’s been through the ringer, tried his best, and did what he could in a tough situation. He made amends in the end and that has his respect. He is just v awkward at showing it, but he doesn’t mind Isa’s company, and he is interested. 」

I am definitely down to ship, but again, only if you’d be up for it and if you’re down to build into it since I do see potential there and it smacked me out of nowhere. 」

「 ALRIGHT - SO. Only way I could see them being enemies is maybe if they’d met at some point in KH2 when he was still a Nobody/Saix and Leon caught him in the middle of wrecking havoc in the Gardens. He’s very protective of his home, and if he did know he was behind or held a hand in it, that could act as a point of tension for them? But with Isa? It’d need to be something big for him to actively see him as an enemy. Either that or involve harming or causing trouble for Sora again. 」

「 Pretty much the same thing for Isa, only I could see them sharing a common connection through Sora and Kairi. Leon did adopt Sora, not really, but he treats him like his kid or younger sibling, and Kairi followed shortly after, and if he started to train her at times (mostly mentioning Blitz-hearts Kairi BUT IT STILL STANDS), I feel like he’d have gone to Lea at some point to ask about her progress, what she learned and all that before he jumped into training her himself. I need to poke your Lea more but I could see Leon taking to his sense of humour enough to toss it back, and he’s a good enough man despite everything that happened he wouldn’t mind getting to know him better. I guess the work friends and other things basically just tie the same as Isa’s, with Key-blade Business and possible mission offers. 」

「 Could be potential, and I would definitely be willing to give it a shot if there is interest and we build up to it! Idk for me it’s the banter potential that has me hooked, but again - also down to just keep it light if you’re more interested in that. Either way! Open to suggestions and generally down to poke him more to see where we go. 」

Does anyone know anything about the clothing brand Valhyr? They've got some really cool viking designs but I would really like to make sure they aren't, y'know, nazis
Alessandra, my name, which is derived from ancient Italian origin and from Medieval Norse translation is Alissantra (which is just a cool translation not my legal name).
I created my name's Norse Stave using this cool website https://valhyr.com

Marie’s feet couldn’t move fast enough. No matter how high she hiked her silk skirts up and out of her way, no matter that she paused, removing the dainty slippers from her feet for better traction, and no matter that every single body jumped out from her path—she could not leave the palace fast enough.
They were back. The knights, the foot soldiers, the diplomats. They were back. Not all of them were back, that much was made clear by the slow trudging the company made inside the city walls—not at all the victory parade they had all anticipated.
Was she back? Verona?
She shouldn’t have even left me.
Flying down the marble steps of the palace, the princess ignored the calls of her handmaidens, only half consciously growing up roots in her wake to trip up anyone who tried to stop her.
She wasn’t queen yet; propriety could wait.
“Verona,” she gasped, coming to stop at the commanders and generals atop their steeds, searching for her knight. Barefoot and dusty, her gentle hands grazed the body of each animal lightly as she made her way through the formation. They weren’t in rank today and her small stature made her lost, a tiny waif among beasts.
“Verona!”
She had to be here. She had to.
She passed a cart full of the injured, whispering apologies and thanks as she moved along the side, scanning, scanning—ah! There!
Verona wasn’t injured. Of course she wasn’t. War was something she was good at, even if collectively, they failed.
Marie didn’t wait to be seen. Like a child, she ran, jumping into the arms of her beloved and burying her head into the crook of her neck. She’d be punished for it later, perhaps they both would, but for the moment, Marie needed the solace of knowing they could return to normalcy for a time, no matter how short.
They had lost this time, but her father was a warmonger. The respite would not last long and the army would be sent out again, this time stronger, larger, and without the option of failure.
If they weren’t conquered first.
With her head raised, Marie held Verona’s face, kissing her, unabashedly affectionate before the public, her antics largely ignored for the time as she had just entered into adulthood and there were not yet any suitors in sight.
She couldn’t help but wonder if Verona had a part in that.
“I’m building us a forest,” she muttered, “and we will hide away from today on. I don’t want you to leave again.”
Clinging to Verona’s neck, she disappeared again, face down into the armor, “please. Please do not leave me again.”
⤷ 『 “you don't have to lie to me,” verona says from her place nearby. “i know hunger when i see it.” after all, she was nothing if not ALWAYS HUNGRY ; all mouth, all desire, an incessant urge to devour and possess. silver gaze considers him for a moment, weighing their options. she knows how he feels about her human stockpile so that's not something she'd offer again, but perhaps... she pulls up the sleeve of her blouse, holding out her gleaming wrist to him. “i insist, take what you like. you're my friend, i trust you not to kill me.” the last piece was more of a lighthearted jab, but she means it all the same. 』
This is pathetic… He's better than this, knows better than this and yet the dull ache is there, pounding inside him as he attempts to ignore it, swirling amber liquid in his glass before knocking it back, enjoying the burn for all that it did little for him in terms of actually getting him drunk. At least he could enjoy the flavour…
It wasn't what he needed, but with Shinra troops scouring the sector he needed to stay out of sight. He'd done good enough work here that the other residents were unlikely to rat him out, and he didn't accidentally feed on people anymore, only the fools who thought attacking him was a good idea. He always felt best after those attacks, even as self-loathing churned up his stomach.
His eyes flick up to her as she catches his attention, eyes slightly narrowed despite himself. He doesn't like this, the whole having to depend on someone like that. He'd have drained her dry a couple months ago, back when he was still struggling for control. Part of him is screaming to accept it, his teeth beginning to ache again as they always did when the hunger began to grow dangerously close to overwhelming him.
Finally he huffs annoyedly and pushes his glass aside, licking over his teeth and finding them sharper than before as he finally sinks down over her wrist, piercing through skin easily and drinking deeply of the bounty offered. The warmth spreads through him immediately, soothing the hunger and the feral thing in his chest which wanted to escape. The taste is a little odd, much spicier than he's used to, but not unpleasant either.
Once he's done he quickly looks her over, trying to gauge that he indeed hadn't taken enough. It's all well and dandy that she trusts him, but that doesn't actually mean she'd be fine.
"Thanks, but next time I'm finding my own food." Cloud grouched, cradling his glass back in leather clad fingers as he stared down at it. He didn't like depending on others. Hopefully Shinra's dogs would be out of the sector soon, in any case.
