he came like a storm && rose like a swelling sea. arcs at his fingertips, beyond the tumultuous ash did he ride grand squall. to far horizons; into lands desperate for respite. they prayed for a hero && received an outlaw.

So I may or may not have started watching peaky blinders. Ngl, it’s kinda feeding my muse for Cid.

@sylkshe asked: " it's the only thing that saved my life. " / ani talking about eva :' )

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐆 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓 𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐃 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐍𝐒 is lengthy; it's telling of some pondering, some consideration, to the words that are uttered. The telling of a savior && the grace therein. This woman across from him speaks in a fondness of a woman mingling with the many. Laughter of children, the coos of the elderly; they look upon Zodiark's dominant in a warmth unmatched for she is a soul unlike any other. Comprised of light, as if the sun itself pieced her together with its rays && saw fit to place her among the mortals of this realm. But alas, if one might refer to her as a savior she would merely scoff at them. Mayhap even laugh off the inklings of such suggestion. The thought alone brings a quirking of the corners to stubble-lined lips. He has his own fondness. They are both runners, wont to go against the grain. Help any && all no matter the cost. They are kindred spirits, in truth. "That so?" Words given simultaneous to the spilling of smoke from between his teeth (via smile). Eyes of hazel cast themselves askew, taking in the sight of golden crown && careful hands. Guiding an elderly woman to Charon, giving her time as if it were limitless. He wonders if that is a truth. When it was all said && done, would Evangelique still be here when the rest fades away? "Seems she's a knack for savin' the day. Heaven knows she's saved this bag of bones a time or two.." && he knows of her plight. The humanity that cripples her at the mention of a certain man. The way her heart has broken a million times over, the times he himself has tried with all his might to be a pillar of support for the strongest woman of this domain. Strong of will, but her heart wanes at the mentioning of a king gone mad. He's no different, though. There is no fighting against the truth that he longs for the squall. Their desires reside in walls of stone && sea spray borders.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐂𝐇𝐔𝐂𝐊𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐍 looses from lips pursed 'round a roll of greens. Its smoldering end when inhaling lights a rugged visage that peers across to the other man whilst a hand holds firm to a thin waist. A blonde. His hand pats gingerly against her hip && she rises from her seat. Though, a gaze of hazel never relinquishes its fixed state on the former Wyvern. && it is here he gestures to the woman that approaches a future outlaw. Coyness befalls the edges of tiers as he watches the pair with a fondness unmatched. Words releasing against the cusp of wispy smoke. "Ladies first." He'd have his turn soon enough.

PROMPTS FROM CASINO *  assorted dialogue from the 1995 film, adjust as necessary

you beat him with a knife, he comes back with a gun.

i don't give a fuck about jail.

you only exist out here because of me.

don't make me a bad guy.

what's the matter with you?

it looked like a gun!

are you out of your fucking mind?

i really think you're overreacting.

i've had it with you!

you're firing me?

this is not the way to treat people.

would you mind taking your feet off the table and putting your shoes on, please?

that's what you fucking tell me?

it wasn't very scientific, but it worked.

you can't talk to me like that.

you gotta be kidding me!

go! get the fuck out of here!

you make me sick.

don't make a scene, all right?

i tried to do everything i could for you, even though i knew, deep down inside, you would bury me.

it's the only thing that saved my life.

you didn't see what was going on?

it's a casino! people gotta win sometimes!

now you're insulting my intelligence.

do you remember what i told you?

this guy could fuck up a cup of coffee.

i'm just curious.

i gotta listen to people because of your fucking shit?

you better get your own fucking army, pal.

i didn't do anything!

from now on, i want you to put an equal amount of blueberries in each muffin.

do you know how long that's going to take?

i don't care how long it takes.

i lost control? look at you?

so in other words, i'm fucked.

back home, they would have put me in jail for what i'm doing.

the longer they play, the more they lose, and in the end, we get it all.

you want me to get out of my own fucking town?

let the bullshit blow over for a while.

you understand that. you know that. come on!

i'll squash your head like a fucking grapefruit if you don't give me a name.

don't make me have to do this, please.

you're making a big fucking spectacle of yourself.

when you asked me if you could come out here, what did i tell you?

listen to me very carefully. there are three ways of doing things around here: the right way, the wrong way, and the way i do it.

everybody's gotta watch everybody else.

when you love someone, you've gotta trust them.

there's no other way.

that's my business.

you're one of the most gorgeous women i've ever seen.

thank you. thanks for that compliment.

a lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes.

who know who's gonna come along in time?

you could be there all fucking night.

where the fuck do you get off talking to people about me behind my back?

did you think i wasn't gonna find out?

i don't even know what you're talking about.

what's the point?

the town will never be the same.

in the end, i wound up right back where i started.

why mess up a good thing?

i think in all fairness, i should explain to you exactly what it is that i do.

if you don't have my money for me, i'll crack your fucking head wide open in front of everybody.

i'm fucking stupid.

can you do that with both hands?

if you beat him with a gun, you better kill him, because he'll keep coming back and back until one of you is dead.

[benediikta]

Scared… Scared?! The word actually brings a twitch to the corner of her eye as she paces in her vexation. Gods, how she hated his bluntness. How she loathed the savior complex that pulled her from servitude but now sees fit to lord over her. How she couldn't stand the truth within his words.

But it's laced along the accolades that saw her rise within the ranks of the Waloed army. It's buried under years of training, honing her skills, letting the warm beat of her heart cool to match the bitter sting of the tempest's gale. She finds comfort in what she believes a shield, though blinded within the eye of her own storm.

As Benedikta gazes out from gilded cage, she knows better. She knows. She knows. But wasn't it safer to heed shelter rather than try and rage against the maelstrom?

❝ What other choice do I have, Cidolfus… ❞ Interesting how a name that once lain so sweetly 'pon her lips is spat out as if it were venom coating her tongue. ❝ When you left, what other choice did I have? ❞ She halts her pacing, hands balling to fists, ignoring the pain of nails cutting at her palms.

❝ Oh but you can hold your head so high upon your road to redemption regardless of those fallen behind in your path.

– You call me scared yet it was you who ran away! ❞

Away from your King Away from your men at arms Away from me

𝐔𝐍𝐘𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆, 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐆𝐀𝐙𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐍 against gale's force. The bite that comes with splitting winds && the fury that resides forthwith. If ever there be a certainty of aught, it is that her storm could unmake the lands && tear asunder the very sky she calls home. A self-destructive rage that knows no limit. The likeness takes root in her eyes but so too does that fear he mentions. The bait to draw her in, to cast aside her title && speak plainly to him. Move aside her inhibitions so that he might take a peek at the woman she once was. Only then might he save a soul on the road to damnation---her own damnation. Condemning herself to a life on a leash. He wonders if she even realizes that. "Is that the picture you've painted in yer head? I ran away?" There's a spit, minimal at best, cast askew to the floor at his flank. That furrow in his brow does not relent; his gaze is pointed. It threatens to consume her yet free her all at once. If he would reach her, he must pick away at these layers of hurt. She believes him a traitor---don't they all? The once Lord Commander stands here relieved of his title proudly. No longer a dog. The very outlaw that has freed the many from the clutches of tyranny && falsehoods alike. && in hearing her interpretation, a click of his tongue gives way. His thumb hooks against the belt fixed 'round his hips while the other arm hangs idly at corresponding side. Taking in the sight of her && the impending sorrow disguised as hatred. "I'd wager that's easier to believe than th'truth." There is not an indomitable bone in his body. He is not so ignorant to believe himself above any semblance of fear. For fear is in all, a cacophony of what ifs that seek to rend us. "Ya 'aven't realized yer expendable yet, 'ave ya?" A single step forward; he pushes his luck as he's wont to do. "When it's all said 'n done, where exactly is yer place in his plan? You're a tool, Benedikta. And so was I. A means to an end to serve that bastard's goal. Yer tellin' me you'd rather die tryin' to keep your seat from goin' cold? The rude awakenin' you're in for when ya realize it'll be filled before it ever gets th'chance.." No different from his own seat.

"𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐀𝐘𝐈𝐍' 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐃 sated?" So brutal a question, but so genuine all the while. For who to know better the liberation she seeks out than the very man that raised her from perdition. A helping hand, once---now he is the ire in her eyes, the buffeting against her wings. She is a slipstream, o'tempestuous force. An unyielding whirlwind with a bite so unforgiving. He saw the potential in her, ambition-laden bones beneath the weight of desperation. But he knows more of what she seeks. Not to simply be safe, to have a place to return to. Above all else, Garuda's dominant wishes for freedom. Free of the shackles of duty && free from the bindings wrought of mortality. How fitting a fate that the eikon of wind makes a home in her bones. The furrow in his brow is one born not of irritation, but instead it comes from his wisher's heart. He wishes she'd break free of a crazed king, he wishes she'd set forth on those wings && fly away from her chains, he wishes... he wishes--- "There's always another way.. always 'as been. But yer no less scared today than back then." Oh, dreaming man---fingertips upholding the squall. How desperate you try to reach for the past, for what once was. For what could've been.
