Live, Laugh, Lugh

Golden Deer Student at The Officer's Academy

[verdantsunflower]

 🎄[[ shes super timid excuse her ]]

She normally enjoyed the festive atmosphere, sharing smiles and pretty decorations all around he monastery, just to make sure everyone was getting in the mood. Yet, she not always knew how to react when it happened to stand underneath a fairy mistletoe, esoecially when someone else happened to be there as well.

"Uh.. " she noticed the young boy, but she lowered her gaze, timidly avoiding any eye contact.

Truth be told, Lugh was feeling JUST as awkward upon realizing the predicament he was in. He was under mistletoe? With a cute girl? Oh gosh, Lugh had no idea what to do, and he was turning beet red!

“Oh, crud! We’re under mistletoe! Um….”

Slowly, Lugh took a few steps forward, only having to lean up just a little bit to reach Sakura… and gave her a small, quick peck on the cheek. Lugh was NOT a kisser, but he did his best! He didn’t want to make her any more uncomfortable then she already was!

“Happy holidays!”

“I’m just looking around for now, but if I do need help, I’ll definitely come ask you! Thank you!”

Unbeknownst to either side, Lugh had his mother’s enthusiasm, as he gave the fellow green-haired stranger a beaming smile and a nod; a confirmation that he put his trust into them pretty darn easily. He took another quick bite of his bread, and was about to give them a wave and walk off, but.. Lugh noticed the man’s eyes were still on him. That kinda concerned him. He wasn’t in trouble, was he? He was pretty sure he didn’t mess up or end up somewhere where he’d get in trouble…

“Umm, actually… can I help you, mister? You’re staring at me kind of intently… i didn’t do anything wrong or something like that, right?”

[loyaldeserter]

Oh, damn it all. Heath doesn't want this poor kid to feel intimidated by him, and here he is screwing it all up. It won't do to lie to the kid, but he doesn't want to make him feel even worse.

"Oh, no, not at all. You're alright. Just a little young to be wandering around here alone." Heath still is curious as to why this child is here by himself, but he probably shouldn't interrogate him. A question or two can't hurt, though. "Are you here with your parents, or are you a student here?"

He should be on his way, but it's his duty as a knight in service to the church to ensure the safety of those in the monastery. He's never been much good at being personable, and his experience with children is lacking, but he owes the boy this much.

[verdantsunflower]

In all honesty, Lugh wasn’t intimidated. He was just more confused and oblivious as to why Heath had such a close eye on him. Was it because he was so young?

His question was then answered by Heath asking about his status. Lugh WAS admittedly young enough to look like a child exploring the Monastery with their parents.. if he had any.

“I don’t look it, but i’m a student here! Of the Golden Deer, to be precise. I get the confusion, though, most of my classmates aren’t exactly the same age as me, so I get it!”

Lugh then decided he should probably ask a few questions, too. This guy was interesting! And he seemed really nice, despite his kinda intimidating look.

“Are you also a student here? We’re probably not taking the same classes, but it’d be kinda cool to make some friends outside of my house.”

[verdantsunflower]

🎄 - The Golden Deer reminds him of his younger sibling in a way, so, like he has done with them in the past when it comes to mistletoe, Hubert's hands reach upwards to hesitantly ruffle his hair. "Happy Holidays. Lugh."

Oh! Lugh didn’t even realize he was under the fabled foliage of the holidays, meant to spread love to any who dared to end up beneath it… Mistletoe.

He’d only had passing interactions with Hubert (who kinda scared him, actually), but his hair being ruffled made him laugh, giving the raven-haired retainer a smile.

“Thanks, mister Hubert! Happy holidays to you, too!”

THE MANY MEANINGS OF "HEY.": A PROMPT LIST.

i often have these ideas that have no real origin, but i can actually tell you precisely why my brain wanted this: i was listening to "hey, soul sister" by train on a loop and i got thinking abt the fact that we really do just say "hey" for so many reasons. and i wanted to make that your thought of the evening! so happy november, bon appetit, wrap up warm, DO NOT ADD TO THIS LIST, and enjoy your writings!

[ GREETING ]: sender says "hey" as a greeting to the receiver.

[ ATTENTION ]: sender, having just noticed something strange or remarkable, calls for the receiver to get their attention.

[ REASSURE ]: in a bid to steady the unsettled receiver, the sender lightly says "hey" to help them calm down.

[ ANGER ]: the sender sharply snaps "hey" at the receiver, clearly angry about something the receiver has just done or had done in the past.

[ IDEA ]: having been presented with a predicament, the sender suddenly unravels a solution, introducing it to the receiver by saying "hey…".

[ GUILT ]: having just done something that they know the receiver won't be pleased with, the sender sheepishly greets them once they arrive to see the damage.

[ GOSSIP ]: the sender turns to face the receiver conspiratorially, clearly eager to share some new gossip with them.

[ URGENT ]: the sender rushes to the preoccupied receiver, desperately shouting "hey!" to get them to focus on a far more pressing matter.

[ SOOTHE ]: after finding the clearly distressed receiver, the sender pulls them into a careful embrace, gently murmuring "hey…" to try and soothe them.

[ SMILE ]: the sender (who hasn't been smiling up until they actually see the receiver in front of them) lights up with a smile as they greet the receiver.

[ TEARS ]: the sender greets the receiver while very clearly in tears.

[ FAKE ]: alternatively, the sender (who has just been crying in private) hastily wipes away their tears and tries to greet the receiver casually (to varying degrees of success).

[ WARNING ]: when the receiver begins to say things about subjects that are off-limits to the sender, the latter gives them a warning by saying "hey…".

[ LAUGH ]: having found the receiver to be decidedly unhappy, the sender lightly catches their attention before doing something to make them laugh, or at the very least, grin.

[ PROTEST ]: after the receiver does or says something that the sender deems to be unfair, the sender tries to exact justice by saying "hey!".

[ BREATHLESS ]: having clearly just sprinted down to the receiver, the sender tries to catch their breath while greeting them.

[ SAVE ]: after just saving the receiver's life in a very heroic fashion, the sender smoothly greets them while helping them escape.

[ FLIRT ]: the sender meets the receiver in a social setting, and attempts to flirt with them with the very traditional pick-up line: "hey.".

[ APOLOGY ]: the sender, having recently done something that hurt or upset the receiver, reunites with them and addresses the elephant in the room by greeting them with a sincerely apologetic tone.

[ AWKWARD ]: after a particularly rough first encounter, the sender meets the receiver again, and awkwardly greets them with more than a touch of embarrassment.

[ GENTLE ]: having found the receiver in an emotionally compromised position, the sender closes the door and approaches them carefully, gently saying "hey…" to try and get them to communicate what has upset them.

[ HARD ]: preparing to deliver what they both know will be bad news, the sender tries to prepare the receiver by quietly greeting them in a solemn tone.

[ WAKEN ]: walking into the receiver's bedroom, the sender gently shakes their shoulder to waken them, and whispers "hey." to encourage the process along.

[ WHISPER ]: the sender gently whispers "hey" to the receiver to discreetly get their attention without drawing the attention of others.

✦ funkenzwangsvorstellung: the primal trance of watching a campfire in the dark.

For someone as proficient in the magic arts as he was, Lugh kind of hated fire.

Sure, it was the crux of a lot of really useful things: heating up food, providing a beacon of light, being a useful distraction in war time, but as he stared into the ever-flickering flames of that night’s campfire, he remembered why he hated it so.

He never quite forgot the night the orphanage; or at least, the first orphanage, burned to the ground. The night Lugh, Chad, and everyone else lost their first father. Everything they had known, that small little house far off in the Lycian countryside, going up in flames all because their father wanted to protect the garden and protect them; Bern just had to snuff all that out, to take the only things they had left there for themselves.

It’d been two years since then, Lugh had more then made his peace with the past, so why did those memories have to flood back the second he sat down at the campfire? And why couldn’t he look away?

….He didn’t know how long he had been sitting there, but he had to get up. Staring into that fire anymore would just make his head hurt even more.

from the dragon's wake // lugh + chad

outrealm gate ✧ no point

[lycianlynx]

Footsteps echo through the stone tunnels. A curiosity indulged, a slip through a hidden passage in the monastery and down, down, down, into a dank and dark place with distant murmurs of life further below— Their statements as guide peter out as their surroundings turn unfamiliar. The paths are kept well-enough, hinting at regular traffic, more than just maybe one curious rat sniffing about at a time.

This isn't normal. Why is this beneath the monastery? They should get out of here. Chad needs to investigate this on his own time. They aren't supposed to be here, but since when has a spy and scout cared about where he should and shouldn't be? If this much of a vast network's been hidden right under their noses, what in God's name has been kept secret otherwise?

Disquieted, Chad pulls Lugh into a narrower passage, one that echoes in its emptiness. There's a brief moment where they think about talking, when they hear it: Behind that empty echo, a dim roar— Where is it? Through the wall? Motioning for quiet, Chad presses their fingertips to the wall (cold, damp, grimy—but there's a resonance, it's hollow behind) and—

Falls through?

They stifle the resulting shout in their throat.

@verdantsunflower

[verdantsunflower]

Lugh really didn’t know what he was expecting behind that gate… but not this.

He’d been more then happy to follow Chad out to this. After all, mystical looking things like that typically just LOOKED weird and didn’t actually do anything. However, as the two rounded a corner, moving from tunnel passages one after another, they turned-

And they fell through. It took everything Lugh had to bite his tongue as he brushed himself off and helped Chad to his feet. This was.. this definitely wasn’t Garreg Mach Monastery, hell, this wasn’t anywhere near the Officers Academy.

This might not have even been their world.

But Lugh felt the oddest sense of.. familiarity. This feeling in the air, the magic within it…. Why did he remember it? He knew Chad couldn’t feel magic, much less the spirits of it, but he had to ask.

“Hey, Chad, does this feel… familiar to you? I can’t shake the feeling that we’ve been somewhere like this before-“

What sounded like a distant roar snapped Lugh out of his thoughts. It was a far sound, but it was still close enough for Lugh to gasp and cover his ears. That was the roar of a dragon…. How did-

“….Hold that thought, there’s no way we’re…. There’s no way we’re b-behind the… the Dragon’s Gate?”

The look in Lugh’s eyes; the confusion and panic visible from one look at his face was palpable. If his hypothesis was true, he was terrified. Especially if they couldn’t get out of here.

It’s not normal for a distress call to suddenly flicker into nothingness, right? But the Officers Academy higher-ups insist it’s been investigated, and you have nothing to worry about. So what, then, is this strange dream you’ve woken to in the middle of the night, calling your name and asking for your help? Come to the bluffs tomorrow night, it asks, and we can meet then. But nothing happens. Come to the bluffs, the voice asks again. Is it a trap? Or is someone really in need of help?

It had been a tense situation which had weighed heavily over their party the past couple of weeks. Nerves were on constant high alert compounded by the feeling by the sense that there was a shadowy force working against them. There had been too many ‘coincidences’ of ‘bad luck’ to write off as natural.

Byleth sighed as the stretched minutely and adjusted their weapon. It was late, the wee hours of the morning and they were on guard duty. Patrolling the perimeter of the camp to prevent anybody sabotaging their mission further.

So far it had been a standard night with nothing out of the ordinary. A little boring even. No sooner had this thought crossed their mind than a piercing scream shattered the peace.

Grabbing the hilt of their weapon tighter, Byleth took off in the direction of the scream. It came from one of the tents assigned to the officers academy. There was no obvious cause of the disturbance, no enemy to attack. Releasing their sword, the professor took a more cautious approach.

“Are you alright?” They called out “I’m coming in”

[verdantsunflower]

It had been the third night Lugh awoke in a cold sweat, having the same dream. Someone called them to the bluffs, but… no dice. He’d been. He’d seen it himself! He was there on the patrols of the bluff! There was NOTHING there! Right? RIGHT?

….No. Something was up, and Lugh was tired of being a good kid and just letting this pass! This weird dream voice and the other weird stuff happening during their mission couldn’t just be a coincidence! Within an instant, Lugh had begun packing up his bedroll and scrambling to put his stuff into his pack. He didn’t care if he’d get in trouble for this, he wasn’t taking no for an answer here! Heck, he’d do it by himself; even if his scariest, most distant professor was standing in his way.

“P-Professor Byleth! S-sorry for the disruption, but we have to go! I know I must sound absolutely crazy, but I had that dream again! There’s something- no, SOMEONE out there in the bluffs, I know it! We just have to look harder!”

He had managed to pack up his stuff right before Byleth entered his tent, and was just about to make a break for it. He knew where he was going (kinda) and knew he could make it back by daybreak if Byleth just LET HIM GO.

“I can’t stand it anymore! I have to go figure this out!”

[verdantsunflower]

Holy moly, Garreg Mach had more going on then Lugh had originally anticipated. The tower, the classrooms, the training grounds.. whew, he’d have to remember a LOT of places on his day to day commute. Yeesh!

So, as he walked, a newly acquired magical tome in one hand and some home made tart bread in the other (the kids sent some to him in a letter! Thankfully it wasn’t completely smooshed or anything.), Lugh just continued taking in all the sights; beautiful skies, students and soldiers going to and from, some people even legging it to try and make it to class…. He just walked wherever his legs would take him, his sense of curiosity not wavering for a second.

…But then he got the feeling that someone-or maybe even something, was watching him. It WAS pretty weird, but hey, Lugh considered himself a pretty nice guy! May as well just turn around and see what was going on. Maybe it was just someone exploring like him or a faculty member or something like that. What’s the worst that could happen?

Oh, wow.

“Oh, um… hi, Mister!”

[loyaldeserter]

Heath's interior patrols are generally rather boring; Garreg Mach is a fairly secure place, and the worst he's had so far was breaking up a fight before it started. Boring is nice, boring is safe, yet he can't help but feel a yearning for something. Ah, well.

The sound of footsteps interrupts his thoughts, and he's met with...a child? There are many children at Garreg Mach, but this one seems oh so very small. Heath wonders, do they really allow students this young?

(Memories flash before him. How old had he been? Seven? Eight? It had to be seven, he remembers the countdown. He had both looked forward to and dreaded it...)

He's stared at the kid perhaps a little too long, and he turns around. Uh oh. Heath doesn't deal with kids super well, but he'll do his best.

"Hello." Okay, that's a sufficient greeting. Though, he should follow up with something. "Are you going anywhere or looking for someone? If you need help, let me know."

It is part of his job, after all. And the kids here tend to be pretty bright. Self-sufficient. Prepared for the horrors of war. (Like so many Bernese children...)

Speaking of, this child has an unmistakable Lycian accent. Is he the son of some Lycian noble, preparing for an invasion? Heath isn't sure of the current political situation there...it's never been particularly stable, what with so many rulers and such little territory.

(Though, look at where Bern is...he just hopes dearly Vaida's faith in Prince Zephiel isn't misfounded.)

🎭 MASKS - do they act differently around certain people? what's different between the way they act around friends, family, strangers, etc.?

//Lugh is a very down-to-earth and real person, so he never puts on too much of an act around anyone. However, he does have an unintentional tendency to keep those he doesn't know at a bit of distance emotionally, especially if they're strangers in his eyes. He equates friends and family in basically the same sentence, as his friends at the orphanage were basically brothers and sisters that he never had outside of Raigh, so he is incredibly comfortable and honest sharing his inner thoughts and emotions with them compared to a stranger. that being said, he also trusts very easily, as established in previous inbox asks, so that stranger-friend difference fades away FAST.

[verdantsunflower]

🔫, ✂️, 🙊?

🔫 PISTOL - do they trust people easily? how easily will they turn their back to someone? have they been backstabbed before? will they betray someone if given an ultimatum? //Lugh takes to people pretty easily, being that he is a super friendly dude. that being said, if he somehow turns his back on someone, it's either going to be temporary due to it being in a fit of emotion, or it's going to be permanent.

He hasn't ever been betrayed, thankfully, nor has he ever betrayed anyone! He's a good kid, he's standing by someone ultimatum or not. ✂️ SCISSORS - what is the "last straw" for them to cut someone out of their life? how easily do they let go of people? //Lugh's "last straw" typically comes from someone either threatening his friends or family or directly insulting them. As shown in his supports, he was very quick to let go of Melady, if only temporarily, after learning she was from Bern, but he eventually figured things out and came to his senses. so chances are, even if Lugh cuts you off or says something mean to you, he'll probably rescind on it and say he's sorry. 🙊 SPEAK-NO-EVIL - what is something your oc will refuse to stay quiet about? //In a hyperfixation sense, Lugh is a MOTORMOUTH when it comes to what he's learning about, regardless of what it is he's currently studying. As a thing of being unable to remain quiet on it? He's not very good at keeping secrets, even if they're from his closest friends. He doesn't have any bad intentions, he just isn't good at hiding things in any sense.

Holy moly, Garreg Mach had more going on then Lugh had originally anticipated. The tower, the classrooms, the training grounds.. whew, he’d have to remember a LOT of places on his day to day commute. Yeesh!

So, as he walked, a newly acquired magical tome in one hand and some home made tart bread in the other (the kids sent some to him in a letter! Thankfully it wasn’t completely smooshed or anything.), Lugh just continued taking in all the sights; beautiful skies, students and soldiers going to and from, some people even legging it to try and make it to class…. He just walked wherever his legs would take him, his sense of curiosity not wavering for a second.

…But then he got the feeling that someone-or maybe even something, was watching him. It WAS pretty weird, but hey, Lugh considered himself a pretty nice guy! May as well just turn around and see what was going on. Maybe it was just someone exploring like him or a faculty member or something like that. What’s the worst that could happen?

Oh, wow.

“Oh, um… hi, Mister!”
