I'm sorry, I should have thought to reach out, but with the direwolves and everything...I'm okay now. Spent the last few days fighting off the wolf attacks so I didn't have much time to look at this.
[Corrin's sure feeling it now, the exertion of several days of constant fighting...and before that...after Jasmine had managed to pierce her heart with her bow, and Corrin had fallen into a deep but not dreamless slumber. At first, the dreams had been of her and Jasmine, but Corrin couldn't really remember them. Only that they had felt pleasant. But at some point, Corrin's not sure when, Jasmine had disappeared from her dreams and someone else had taken her place. And those dreams, Corrin remembered very well. Of quietly living together as she had offered, of pleasant boatrides taken together, of tea shared and conversations by a window, taking in that gorgeous view.
And now here Eve was, concerned for her. She's genuinely touched by the gesture.]
Mostly I'm just sore, haha. Now that things have calmed down I think a few days of taking it easy are in order, at least until I stop feeling so achey. What about you, Eve? Are you okay?
...Thank you for checking up on me, too. That's very sweet of you.
There's no need to apologize. You aren't obligated to especially during an emergency. I should be a low priority.
[And she meant every word as well. She prefers Corrin to be fully aware during a fight. It'd mean she was safe.]
Do you have any other injuries to speak of?
I'm fine. I was able to kill many of the dire wolves before getting outnumbered. Although I needed assistance, I was able to meet many interesting individuals. They all had their own way to fight. And were courageous. A good group to have during an emergency.
[Yes, this was Eve's way to show gratitude without having to say it.]
Nonsense. My friends are never a low priority, and that includes you.
A few bumps and scrapes from the direwolves, but nothing serious. You know how it goes.
[Of course, that wasn't the only thing to happen to Corrin after the festival turned bad. But her rampage was stopped quickly before she could really hurt anyone, and she has no memory of the experience, only the annoyance of being down an outfit after her transformation shredded what she'd been wearing.]
I'm glad. Yeah, I got to see some pretty interesting combat techniques myself! Got me thinking a little about possible updates to my own style, but I'm still mulling things over. I'm sure the people you met would say similar things about you too, Eve. Maybe you should seek them out, eh? You could learn from each other.
[Make friends, Eve!]
I'm disgusted by the lack of reaction from Vaeros, though. Somnius was under siege, but there's been no sign of him! And the way the townsfolk just brush it off...that's not the way a ruler should act. And it's suspicious to boot. There's so much we still don't know about him, or hos intentions.
[A few bumps and scrapes? As much as Eve knew it's to be expected especially against very strong opponents, it still slightly bothered her to know she got injured. Maybe she should've killed more of the dire wolves.]
There are a few I do wish to spar or train with. Maybe I should seek them out.
[Not friends! They are useful tools! :|]
I'm in the latter opinion. Not surprise their great and powerful ruler is MIA. Rulers don't usually care for those underneath them. All they care about is to keep the status quo and the people pliant. Otherwise only a rare breed of rulers would give two shits about their own.
[As far as she knew Corrin was one of those leaders. She hasn't met anyone else who gave her a different opinion.]
Corrin, you are always so kind and friendly, surely you must have spoken to some of the new arrivals already.
[ Or so he assumes, anyway. ]
I'm not sure if you also found a woman named Robin among them? Maybe you have noticed if you spoke with her, but she comes from the same place as me. I know her, actually, or-- rather, she's a friend of my parents.
[ ...
There's a slight pause, a touch awkward, like Inigo isn't so sure how to say it, but then he forces himself to speak on all the same. ]
I-- ah, please do not mind it if you did already tell her, but.. if you haven't, could you please not bring up the entire Laslow thing to her? Things might be less complicated that way.
Haha, well I try to make myself available to the new arrivals as much as I can, yes. I know how difficult adjusting to life here can be, so I like to do my best to help people get settled.
As it so happens, yes, I have met Robin, but I didn't know she was also an acquaintance of your family. [She doesn't look much older than Inigo, but then again, Corrin isn't much older than her younger brother's own son, so she doesn't really get to talk.] Don't worry, you didn't come up while we were speaking, Robin was mostly interested in understanding the current situation here, with us, the villagers, and Vaeros.
I'll keep it to myself, you have my word. I'm...sorry, what it's worth. Bringing this complication to you and all. [It seems to be weighing on him, and Corrin didn't want that at all.]
Oh-- no! [ He says that so quickly. Like the word slips out of Inigo's mouth almost instinctively, so quick in his desire to not want her to blame herself for anything. ]
You don't have to be sorry at all! None of this is your fault. [ Even if it's a big thing, and kind of a heavy thing.. It's not like Corrin can help that this is just reality. ] If anything, I'm..
[ His voice momentarily trails off. It's definitely shyly, even if Inigo would deny that to hell and back if he had to. ]
I am glad to have met you here. Your presence is.. reassuring, and I am glad to know someone who has much more experience with this place than I do. Perhaps, if it is not too much to ask for, you could help Robin out a little bit? It seems like she has been through a lot before showing up here, and she could use some help to get the hang of this place.
Well, I'm glad to hear you think so. I'm glad I got to meet you too. For the first time, again.
Of course, Inigo. You don't need to worry about that. She was already someone I think I'd like to get to know better anyway. Can you tell me a bit about her? She struck me as very analytical, and compassionate.
And you know I'm still at your disposal as well, right? I'm not done helping you yet either, believe that.
[ Inigo lets out a breath of air - it's hard to tell if it's from amusement or fluster though. ]
I know, I know, Corrin. I'm pretty sure I couldn't get you to stop helping me even if I'd try.
[ See, this is exactly why he thinks she's too nice.. But he shakes his head, trying to not linger on it - especially when she asked him a question. ]
As for Robin.. You're right about her being very analytical. She was the tactician for the Shepherds back home-- that's the group I'm part of, we were trying to protect Ylisse. [ And the world, really, considering Grima wouldn't leave any part of it untouched.. ] So she's incredibly smart, though I sometimes feel like she could do with opening up a little bit more and sharing her problems with others.
[On the 24th Corrin will find a box with her name and along with a holiday card that reads,]
Merry Christmas! - Arrakis Faylare
[Inside are a small bag of chocolates and a personalized chess set!
Corrin's chocolates are shaped like the head of an eagle. They are mildly spicy with hints of cinnamon. Arrakis trusts Corrin to always have his back in a fight and cinnamon is a comforting taste for Arrakis.
Her chess set is black and white stone with a black border that has been carved to look like dragon scales. The pieces match the board and carved on the bottom of one of the black knights are Arrakis's initials, AF.]
[Delivered quite kindly by the mail mice to Corrin's home is a bag of homemade potpourri and a little handmade Christmas Pixie. Last but not least, there are some Christmas cookies (some are a little misshapen but it's clear they were made with care).
Attached is a card inside is delicate handwriting:]
MERRY CHRISTMAS PRINCESS CORRIN! I made the cookies myself with some help! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Again, Merry Christmas!
[On Christmas morning, Jasmine visits Corrin's house to spread the greetings personally. If invited, she'll stay for tea, but more importantly she hands to her close friend a rather large package, labelled with Corrin's name in elegant cursive, in both Roman and Persian (پرنسس کورین) alphabet. As Corrin opens it, Jasmine drops her usual confident composure and actually seems sheepish as she explains the gift.]
Corrin... I can never sum up in one present just how much your friendship has meant to me since we came here. We don't share the same background, but our values and passions are so alike, and you've helped me more times than I can count. But in May, when... [She swallows.] we found the eggs, it felt different. It's hard to explain, but you're more than just a dear friend now - a confidante or like kin, I suppose. And because of that, I hope we can see each other's kingdoms, and that we'll remain companions long after we leave Visium... to witness our rulings, our marriages, and our children grow together.
[The package, it turns out, is a very tender painting of Kana and Little Guy snuggling during their adolescence. The dragons were so close, they were practically cousins or even siblings, which is just how Jasmine feels about the fellow princess at this point.]
((OOC: Do not feel obligated to tag this back, you can just accept the gift. And don't worry, Jasmine didn't make the painting with the brush from the wizard's tower, so there are no weird noises or smells attached to it XD))
[On the morning of the 25th, Corrin will be left a small basket, a simple blank card, and a small dish of baklava. In the basket are an assortment of variouscookies and confections. All the treats are made by Aladdin himself.
[The sight that greets Kabru is indeed Corrin, but she looks at him strangely. She also seems to fumble a bit with her Oracle, like she's unused to it. Her armour is different as well, white and dark-blue mail over what appears to be a black undersuit of some kind.]
I'm fine, just...a little confused. This isn't the Northern Fortress, and I've never seen a device like this before. Kabru? Is that right? Are you one of my family's retainers?
[ooc: Corrin has indeed been de-aged, but only a few years, to herself from just before the start of Fates.]
Well...given present circumstances, I'll trust you and say yes. [She smiles, even as she can hear her siblings chiding her for being so trusting. But she'd rather choose to see the best in people than suspect them. He says he wants to help, so she'll take him at his word.] If you can take me to my big brother, I'm sure he'll see that you're properly rewarded for your aid, sir.
[His question seems to confuse her.] I think so? These quarters are spacious, but not mine. I'm certain how I came to be here. Is something going on? Are the Hoshidans attacking?
[ The prompt for the day is: Sending him an unsolicited bunny pic, it's a LARGE bunny looking to weigh like about 40LBS. It's got moon spot patterns all on its butt, with a beautiful blueish-silver-gleam all around it. ]
What do you think about this cute bunny, 10/10 right?
Oh, I will! I should love to see her. I've only ever seen pictures of them before. Won't you bring her here? I would love to brush her fur and give her all manner of delicious treats.
[She's wanted a pet for so long, but the Northern Fortress isn't the most accommodating place, and Xander has told her a pet would be a distraction from her training, so she has reluctantly put it aside. But still, she hopes one day...]
Yes, please! Very much. And that's right, I am Princess Corrin. Are you a citizen of Nohr, Bee-Bee? Please, let us talk awhile. It gets so lonely when my siblings aren't able to visit. And I don't know where my attendants have gotten off too!
Once upon a midnight dream, while you opened your oracle so weary... This message came to be! 😱 And now, you’ve been CURSED!! It's real curse magic! 😈💀
If you don’t send this to 10 people within the next 6 minutes, you’ll wake up to these horrors:
1. Your phone screen will mysteriously crack... 📱💔 2. A pixie will rearrange your furniture in the middle of the night 🛋️🧚 (and you’ll fall on your face) 3. The shard magic you collected will go to 0... and you'll have to start all over again 💎😱 4. You’ll lose your abilities you regained one by one 🔮😳 5. Vaeros will come into your nightmares and force you to date him... 😘💋 6. But if you do send it... nothing creepy will happen 👀 …maybe… 🕷️
