(High Casual) An Age Old Feud II

Well that's my relationship chart done. Didn't do anything for Amberlin or Alice since Elaisse is unlikely to know who they are. I'll fill that out when appropriate xD Also if anyone wants any changes to what i've written for relationships just let me know

Elaisse found that she did not particularly mind the journey. She spent the first half of it sleeping against her brother’s shoulder before waking up and quietly sketching. Though that was a bit more difficult with the bumps. She was just glad she had managed to bring some materials in there with her.

“Of course, mother,” Ela responded softly to the questions posed, meaning for it to be an answer to both as she barely glanced up from her drawing of a flower. She was trying to prepare herself for when they arrived. She knew that there would be a lot of people though hopefully she wouldn’t have to talk to many. The attention would be on her aunt after all.

They stopped all too soon for her liking. She inclined her head slightly to show that she had heard her mother’s instructions and a forced a smile onto her lips. It was a bit shaky but she had enough practice at faking a smile. She scrunched her hands up in her dress as she exited the carriage and stuck close to Jaxton as he followed her out. Even with the attention not being on her there were far too people around. She could feel the familiar sense of panic rising but fought it down. Nobody would pay attention to her. She just had to stand there with her family and look respectable. That was something she could do.

She carefully smoothed out her dress as she calmed down, forcing herself to stay still and put her hands at her side. She urge to tug at her hair or continuing smoothing it was quite something but the sharp glances from her mother stopped her. So instead she turned to look at the nobles that were out to greet them. King Maddox was just like she’d been told – dashing and looking the part of the King. His charms didn’t invoke anything in Elaisse but it had clearly worked for her aunt. She was more curious about the younger royal anyway, the Prince who was close to Jaxton’s age. There wasn’t anything that stood out about him – but maybe that was a good thing. If he was flashy it would be harder for Elaisse to talk to him, at least. She caught his smile towards her and smiled back with a slight nod – it was nervous, but genuine. She then turned her attention to Amaranthea as her brother mentioned her.

“Oh, yes, that would be nice,” Elaisse responded softly with the slightest hint of a blush. She only had a few memories of the handmaiden, but none of them were bad. The lady was even more beautiful than she remembered. “I’m glad there is someone our Aunt knows that will be staying with her.”

She continued to watch the interaction curiously, tugging at a loose strand of hair when she was sure her mother wasn’t looking. She could still feel her initial nerves and knew they were unlikely to go away until they were somewhere quieter. She just hoped that this didn’t take too long.

“I’m not sure any kind of party will be better,” Ela laughed quietly as her brother joked, covering her mouth slightly with her hand to make sure their parents didn’t overhear them. She doubted their mother would tolerate them wanting to leave. “I would quite like this to be over soon, though. Too many people. And it will be nice to look around somewhere we’ve never been.”

Though she had forgotten there was likely to be some kind of celebration later in the evening. While it would be a good opportunity to talk to people individually it wasn’t something that appealed to Elaisse. It would just be more crowds.

“I wonder if someone will show us around at some point,” she added to Jaxton as an afterthought.

True, also you can pronounce it the more Irish way of slee-av which sounds pretty nice. And it looks prettier xD

Rien had been at the Lumber Mill for quite a bit now and so far it was a pretty good time. They’d had enough to drink that they found it easy enough to mingle with people they’d never talked to. Not quite enough to make any terrible decisions (not that Rien was likely to regret anything they did). They’d even managed to sneak into the VIP lounge – which honestly wasn’t as hard as it should have been.

They’d pulled at least three people since getting here which was a pretty decent number in their books. They were on their way to a fourth, because why not see how many people they can get with right? They’d never seen the shorter (wow, someone shorter than them!) brown haired girl before but she was pretty good looking.

Rien was so close to kissing her, too, when shit went down in the VIP lounge. They only heard snippets of the conversation – they had no idea who the guy was, but they were pretty sure the girl was called Claire. Her reputation kind of preceded her. Though, honestly, from what Rien heard they were all with her when she punched him right in the face. He looked like he deserved it.

Shame it killed the party mood, though. And the girl Rien had been chatting up was staring at the scene. Looked like they weren’t going to get anywhere there. Ah well, no point worrying over something like that.

It was pretty much dead inside the lounge now. Rien figured that maybe that signalled it was time to head back outside. Couldn’t be as bad out there, right? Shrugging slightly they made their way through the crowds and outside. They looked around to see if there was anything to join and easily spotted Claire.

Might as well go talk to her, right?

“Hey,” Rien greeted with a nod as they came to stand at the side wall beside Claire, leaning back on it and pulling out a cigarette of their own. They rummaged around their other pocket before sighing lightly. “You have a lighter or anything? I think I dropped mine in there.”

“I’m Marijn by the way, since you probably have no idea who I am,” they grinned slightly. “Though everyone calls me Rien since it’s easier to pronounce.” Their smile increased. “I saw what happened in there, damn that was a nice punch. That guy deserved it.”

“I think he tried to hit on me earlier too, but I was too busy with a girl to do anything but ignore him. Glad you told him to fuck off.”

@HushedWhispers Ah yay, excited to start! I don't think I'll be able to post till tomorrow (got two other roleplays I need to respond to first today:/) but I'll at least try to get the relationship chart done for Ela

(High Casual) An Age Old Feud II

Character chart sounds very interesting!

(High Casual) An Age Old Feud II

@FernStone

I will have to send you a message when I have a bit more of my character fleshed out
Working from cellphone until Sunday- and it's difficult to scroll through code on a tiny screen

@MissCapnCrunch

Understandable, I'm happy to talk about it then! I wouldn't worry about it too much anyway, will more be for going into the roleplay rather than causing any character sheet changes :)

(High Casual) An Age Old Feud II

Yeah my character is the daughter of the Current King and Queen of Slibah- that is @MissCapnCrunch's character and also @Scarlet Loup's second character (the King of Slibah). I'm happy to discuss any relations for that though while you're character creating

(High Casual) An Age Old Feud II

@HushedWhispers Sounds good to start for me! Though I have idea when that is for me (Tuesday morning I think) should work fine xD

(High Casual) An Age Old Feud II

Since pretty much all the roles are filled I won't bother taking a second character :) Which is probably good I can concentrate more on my first xD

Excited to see the rest of the character / to start!
