There's a panhandler who hangs out on the street corner by our dispensary every afternoon with a sign that just says "Green 4 Green?" and tbh, I respect my boy's confidence.

That's true xD

I like it! Crow's gonna be super happy about it when he does cx
Crow shook his head when Penelope said she wouldn’t have been surprised if Elizabeth was still waiting for him in the Great Hall. As much as he wanted to disagree with her, he knew she was probably right. Liz had come to the castle with the sole purpose of persuading him to court her, so she had every reason to loiter around until he showed up. He couldn’t wait until he and the knight could start courting openly, if only to prove to the stubborn noblewoman that he was never going to take her back. With the way things had been going so far, he doubted anything less would be enough to convince her to go back to her home in Colchester.

In the next moment, the viceroy smirked as Penelope seemed to echo his thoughts. “Well I think I’m quite a prize, if I do say so, myself. You have every reason to be proud to be with me,” he quipped cockily, giving her a playful nudge as they got up from the bed. All joking aside, he didn’t blame her for wanting to flaunt their relationship in front of the other woman though. Elizabeth had been terrible to her since the day they’d met, and she didn’t seem intent on easing up anytime soon. Honestly, he was impressed the knight had managed to stay so level headed around her thus far. If their positions had been reversed and another man had been trying to get in his way, he was certain he would have started behaving far pettier than she had yet to be.

Deciding to put the unpleasant thought aside for now, Crow waited for Penelope to make sure she was ready before he followed her over to the door. He trailed slightly behind her while she checked the hallway, ensuring that they could leave without being spotted by a passing guard. With rumors already flying around the castle about him “sleeping” with Elizabeth, the last thing he wanted was for another knight to add that he’d been seen with a different woman just one day later. He was hoping to salvage what he could of his name before he and Penelope started courting. That couldn’t happen if everyone thought he was just using noblewomen for his own gain.

Fortunately, it seemed like they had gotten lucky as the knight announced that the corridor was quiet and they began the short walk to the Great Hall.

As they traveled, Crow trotted up to fall in step beside her, enjoying their rekindled closeness after the conversation they’d had in the early morning. He was glad that everything had been settled between them so smoothly. If she hadn’t believed that the gossip had been false, or if they hadn’t come to a compromise about how to handle similar situations in the future, he didn’t know where they would be now. The thought of drifting away from her over such a ridiculous misunderstanding made him shudder, and he quickened his pace slightly, eager to put it behind him in favor of focusing on breakfast.

When they reached the Great Hall, the viceroy glanced over the room to see if Liz was still there. To his disappointment, he saw the noblewoman sitting alone at a table off to the side, already watching him with a hawk like gaze. He grimaced and quickly turned away from her. “Maybe she’ll leave us alone if I pretend I didn’t notice her…” he muttered to Penelope.
In ~Bonsoir~ 7 yrs ago Forum: 1x1 Roleplay
Vail casted the Lady Victoria one more smile over his shoulder as he turned to walk away from her. Even though he knew he hadn’t given her what she’d wanted from him, she was still polite ‘til the last moment. He appreciated her bent to speak so respectfully to a mere stranger, even bothering to compliment his dancing once again before they parted. Though the Lady was bright, she definitely wasn’t the assertive type if she was content with letting her question go unanswered so easily. Her amenable temperament was probably the reason why she had been so entranced with him earlier too. Women who were more submissive by nature were often more susceptible to the pheromones that he and the rest of his kind used to draw them in. He was sure that if he’d chosen to, he could have easily taken advantage of her altered state of mind to get a taste of the rich blood he’d smelled before.

Weaving his way through the crowd, Vail caught wind of a familiar scent that drew his attention to a figure on his right: Lord Spencer was heading in the opposite direction, back to Victoria’s side now that she was alone. He snorted softly and shook his head. After getting to know the Lady a little better during their brief encounter, he felt quite certain that the Wynter was planning to do what he could not; and with a perfect cover, too. He couldn’t help but wonder how the rival vampire had managed to weasel his way so deeply into the Crest family that he was to be betrothed to the heiress. Just the thought of it was baffling to him. Alexander had been high enough up in the Order that he should have known who the members of the Wynter family were, right? He couldn’t imagine that the former Crest head had been careless enough to miss this particular viper.

It doesn’t matter. It’s not my business, he reminded himself, slowing to a stop by another table to finish off the rest of the drink in his hand. All in all, this party certainly hadn’t turned out at all like he had been expecting. His eyes wandered to the front door. The night was still young, but after his rather ungraceful meeting with Lady Victoria and his unnecessary involvement with her and the vampire she was to marry, he wasn’t feeling as eager to stick around anymore. He’d drawn far too much attention to himself for one day, and the usually stifling Hygrace manor was beginning to sound quite cozy compared to the chaotic ballroom he was standing in now.

Vail glanced over his shoulder one last time, spotting Lord Spencer and Victoria locked in a fast paced dance near the middle of the room. Even from a distance, he could see the hunger in the other vampire’s eyes; that lustful thirst for blood which made the Wynters such a formidable group to the humans who had the misfortune of crossing their path. He couldn’t help but feel some pity for the Lady. While his family handled their predatory appetites with grace and control, their rivals were known to overindulge, often leaving their prey listless if they didn’t bleed them to death first. He doubted Spencer was planning to drain Victoria of her life, since they were supposedly going to be married, but judging by the look in his eyes, he wasn’t going to hold back much more than that.

Not my business, he reminded himself once more, turning away from the dancers as he set his empty glass down on the table. Whatever was to happen between the couple, he wanted no part of it. In fact, he’d spent far too much time at this masquerade already. It was time for him to go.

Without wasting another second, Vail headed for the door, slipping into the cool night air as he walked back to the Hygrace manor alone.
I think they'll have a couple weeks. Albin will have to send an emissary to the Younisian king to make sure he's willing to negotiate before he sends Crow across the border cx
Shifting to lay more comfortably on the bed, Crow propped one arm underneath his head while Penelope told him her ideas about how he could get out of the castle without drawing attention to himself. As she started by telling him to change clothes, he blinked and looked down at himself. Though he would never admit it out loud, perhaps he had gotten a little soft since he’d taken the title as viceroy, because he hadn’t even realized that the tunic he was wearing now would make him stand out. Careless. In the outer villages, he had always been conscious of his appearance—not in a vain way, but rather because he’d needed to blend in with the other peasants whenever knights were around. It disturbed him to know that his old habits were already beginning to fade as he grew more accustomed to the security of living in the palace.

As Penelope went on to tease him about not bumping into anything, Crow rolled his eyes at her in an exaggerated fashion. Even if he had gotten a bit more relaxed about minding his appearance lately, his physical tendencies would take much longer to break down. He felt quite certain that he could leave without alerting the guards. Besides that, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to just lie and tell them that he wanted to get some fresh air. His father had given him a rather loose tether by forbidding him from leaving the inner kingdom, after all. Though he couldn’t return to the outer villages, there were plenty of places he could go outside the palace walls that would keep him busy.

“I don’t think you’ll need to do that,” he said with an amused smirk when Penelope offered to distract the guards for him. “I may not be allowed to go home, but I have free reign of the cities around the castle. As long as we aren’t seen leaving together, I’m sure there won’t be any issue.”

In the next moment the knight’s eyes lit up, and Crow raised a brow, curious to find out what had gotten her so excited. As she brought up the idea of bringing him to her hometown, he returned her smile eagerly. He hadn’t been overly interested in most places in the inner kingdom since noble culture was a bore, but he did want to see the part of it where she had grown up. It was something he hadn’t thought they would be able to do before, but now that he was a noble too, there was nothing stopping them from going together.

“Well, it’s about time you invited me back to your place,” he joked, trailing his hand from her shoulders down to the small of her back and casting her a fond grin. “I’d love to go to Bellmare with you.”

As she pointed out that they needed to head to the Great Hall so they wouldn’t miss breakfast, the viceroy nodded. “On the bright side, maybe we waited long enough that Liz got tired of waiting for me and left,” he mused, sitting up and giving a small shudder. “I just hope she goes back to Colchester soon. If I don’t see her face again as long as I live, I’ll be happy.”
And they probably won't have another break until after the party at least ^^;
“Oh?” Crow smirked when Penelope said she might have a few ideas about where they could go to get away for a while. He leaned down to press a few more kisses to her collar, enjoying the privacy they had in her bedchamber. For a moment, he wondered if they would be able to just come back here after breakfast. It seemed like a secluded enough space, after all. However, the idea didn’t seem quite as thorough as he remembered that the Lenz’s would be wanting to speak with the knight at some point during the day. It would be a bit more than uncomfortable if the nobles stumbled upon them together during their search for her. He sighed. The smarter choice was probably still to get out of the castle altogether.

As Penelope began to trail her leg against his, Crow met her gaze again with a grin, his heart beating quicker in his chest at her sultry touch. Even though he knew they didn’t have time to be more intimate before breakfast, he was starting to seriously consider skipping the meal to be with her instead. If he hadn’t gotten another poor night of sleep, he might have done it. But, unfortunately, he needed to get his energy from somewhere, and outside of getting enough rest, food was the next best option.

When the knight went on to explain where they could meet, the viceroy nodded, picturing the directions in his head to better remember where he needed to go. He leaned his cheek against her hand and smiled as he noticed her eyes drift down to his lips. However, instead of moving in to kiss him, she went on to tease him about getting soft since he’d become viceroy. He rolled his eyes at her mocking words. “I’m sure I can handle it on my own,” he said dryly, though the amused smile didn’t leave his features.

In the next moment, a mischievous look crossed Crow’s face, and he rolled off Penelope to lay by her on his side. He slipped his arms around her middle to pull her close, touching a playful kiss to her nose as he did. “But, if you think you’re so good at it, why don’t you refresh me anyway?” he winked at her teasingly. “Who knows? Maybe I need the help, since you think I’ve gotten so soft.”
They both need it honestly xD
Crow smiled, pressing a few more kisses to Penelope’s neck when she said she didn’t have any guard shifts that day. It seemed all too perfect to the viceroy. After being forced to sneak around the other nobles in the castle for so long, he couldn’t wait to take a whole day to be with her without interruption. As long as they stayed away from anyone who might try to take up their attention, he had high hopes that they would be able to get away with spending so much time together. His heart fluttered eagerly in his chest as he expected that this day was going to be quite a bit more enjoyable compared to the last two weeks.

He met Penelope’s lips with rivaling passion when she kissed him again, resting his hands on her hips to pull her close to himself. As he did, he felt her arms slip around his neck, and he shivered, finding her touch especially electrifying after going so long without it. He was quick to press more kisses to her cheek and jaw when she pulled back to tell him that she still had to meet with the Lenz’s at some point that day. “Let them wait,” he murmured breathily, nipping at her ear. “I’m sure they’ll be fine without you for a little while…”

Feeling playful, Crow tugged the knight over to the bed and pushed her down onto it, meeting her lips in another kiss as he did so. Breakfast had already started, so he knew they didn’t have time to get away with anything more than they were doing now—at least, not without skipping a meal—but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t have a little fun with her. Who knew when they would get another chance like this, after all? He was going to take advantage of the privacy while it lasted.

Shifting to hover over her, the viceroy worked his way from Penelope’s mouth down to the base of her neck, where he pulled back just enough that his lips brushed against her skin. “So, where do you think we should go to get away from everyone?” he asked softly, a smile playing on the corner of his mouth as he teased her. His right hand trailed sensually down the length of her side while he spoke, only to stop at her waist as he looked up to meet her gaze. “I’m sure we’ll just be bothered if we stay in the castle… It might be easier just to sneak out and meet up someplace where no one will find us. Is there any spot you know of where we could get away?”
She's definitely a One xD Their inner critics rule their lives a lot of the time.

Big oof cx Sounds rough, haha.
