riding into the sunset and… into the maws of a beast (pretty please!)
At the yelp, it was not Vili who jumped, but Bruno — who had not anticipated such a screech to come out of the tiny one. His grip tightened on Vili's reins as his body jerked back, only to relax quickly at the tabby darting away into the shadows. A pause, as his mouth parted slightly and a soft flush grew on his face.
At Kiran's signing, he shook his head. "No, this wasn't a waste of time." He laughed; Vili snorted (either at the tug of his reins or the comment, Bruno wasn't sure). "An adventure is an adventure — and we can tell them that we did find a beast at the end of the day."
...of sorts.
He smiled as eyes flickered up toward the darkening skies, and then back toward their path — or whatever hinted at it, in the form of trampled bushes and trees. Glancing over at Kiran, his smile only widened as he tucked his tome back into his bag. "At least, I'm glad we were able to embark on this together.
"Next time," he tilted his head in his jest, "maybe we'll find a dog."
Lucky for Bruno, Kiran hadn’t been watching him so the sudden jump passed them by. But they didn’t miss the rest of it. An adventure, huh? Well, it better count as one—I’m sure Alfonse would have fun listening in too. Right after they convince him of how very safe it was with Bruno around.
They nodded, a few giggles coming out from his words. I’m glad too! I’m sure Villi is also happy we didn’t find anything scary. As for their own horse? Well… as chill as ever, like they’d just seen some butterfly. Wonder what’s going on in that brain of theirs…
Now onto their next adventure… Maybe, maybe! Maybe a rabbit will try to jumpscare us on our way back. I don’t have any carrots to feed one though…
The biggest tragedy of all, really. How were they going to make animal friends like this?
ring ring!! got a summoner and a lich at your doorstep!!
A little bit more and hopefully this person would close the door and let them move on. Thrasir bit back an exasperated sigh, held her fake smile in place and nodded along to the asked question. Watching the Summoner's mime however, Thrasir blinked for a moment. A Blue Lion was it?
But also, those signs needed some serious work...
"Yes, we're part of the Blue Lions house in the Officer's Academy," she replied, straining to keep the pep. "Actually, Prince Dimitri is our house leader!"
Hopefully his Highness' name held weight in his own kingdom. No one needed to know she wasn't technically a student yet. Nor that she was a resident of Abyss. That was hindering information. Please, for the love of Askr and Embla, let this conversation end... How would Sharena end this.... Ah!
"We have other houses to visit too, so we hope everything we have provided will be enough," she added. Indicating that she and the Summoner didn't have time to chat. But Hel smite her if she tried to do that cheerful smile and disgustingly happy wave.
Thank their nonexistent lucky stars that she actually understood their signs and could say as much! What a relief, they knew they weren’t just that bad. Heh.
From the joy of that, they’d sort of drifted away from the conversation. But! They were back in it now! Just in time for the Prince Dimirei name drop. Good thinking, this way we’re more trustworthy. Probably.
“Oh, I see. In that case, I’ll let you two kids get back to it, thank you.”
Still, that ‘our’ didn’t go unnoticed. Was she really a part of their House? Oh no, did they completely miss her up ‘til now? I really need to keep a better eye out, wow…
With a smile that matched Sharena’s, the Summoner waved the stranger bye. Okay, one down!
Turning back to the other, they gave her a sweet treat, mouthing a ‘thank you’. Most of the convincing was done by her after all—mostly because Kiran’s gesturing needed some work. Or maybe the people here need to get better at charades… grumble grumble…
Next on the roster was a house a few blocks down. One they pointed to with ease.
exchange for feathers?
New month, more Kiran, yay !! If anything interests you below or if you had something else in mind, feel free to shoot me a dm ! ^-^

── .✦ To say the Summoner is in over their head with this hunt would be a grave understatement. One they knew veeeery well, in fact! Why are they even here? What they could be doing… reading away… Anyways, to make a long story short, their gestures had been greatly misunderstood (maybe on purpose) by some others of the monastery and now here they are. On this foolish hunt. [ bow +1 ] [ faculty & staff req ]

Okay, nope, this could be really incriminating, Kiran. Time to focus! With help, of course. Going in alone sounded like a surefire way to get cornered into some deal or, worse, an ambush. And last they checked, Kiran wasn’t exactly ambush proof! Now, who to ask… ( taken by Selena )

She meets them on the fringes of the dance, smiling slightly at the way they fumble with their pages — it’s reminiscent of her date, and perhaps that is why she wields a rose towards them (though, of course, more kindly than she’s ever wielded her lance). “Good evening,” she greets, to the unfamiliar face. “What are you reading?” It must be difficult to read it in the low light… so perhaps it was a well-loved tome, or a very good volume. “I hope you’ll forgive the interruption, and take my rose as an apology.”
While the darkness was a bit of a hindrance, there was basically nothing that could stop Kiran from finishing this chapter. With everyone dancing, most didn’t notice their lack of participation. And then… she—huh?
Blinking, they looked up to find a rose and its owner looking down at them. They kept a finger in between the pages they’d read as they closed the book. It’d be easier to talk this way. Plus…
Kiran lifted up the book’s cover so the other could see it clearly. Then, they gave a very rapid set of nods with a thumbs up. It wasn’t quite accurate to their enjoyment (many more nods were needed, yep) but, it’d do.
Still, they took the rose with a smile on their face. Mouthing a quick ‘thank you’, they handed her a hyacinth of theirs. They pointed to her hair and the petals. A matching set—almost. It might’ve just been the lighting though.
[ SPARKLING WATER ] - Fresh spring water that has been magically carbonated. Served with a squeeze of lime or a dash of one of the many fruit syrups available at the bartender’s disposal.
The idea of sparkling water hitting the shelves—er, whatever you call the drink giving place here—was too great an idea to ignore. This wasn’t quite like the fizzy drinks back home but! It was a start! And, more than that, there were enough people busy dancing that Kiran was almost completely alone. Almost.
Wait, isn’t that…
It was! Their partner in crime (kind of)! That experience had to count for something, right? Enough to consider each other friends, right? Yeah, close enough. Tapping her on the shoulder, they waved. Before any of this, though, they had to introduce her to sparkling water (if no one else had shown her it before). Lifting their fingers, they signalled for two drinks.
Kiran gestured towards the fruit options and then held out a hyacinth. Both to actually give her bouquet some flowers (why were half of them just stems???) and as a bribe—surely, she’d want the flowers too???
For themself, they were getting some lime with the sparkling water. Wonder what she’ll pick…
breidatactics asked: [ ZENITH ] - A dance invented to celebrate the burgeoning peace recently established between the once feuding kingdoms of Askr and Embla. Long ago, so the story goes, these faraway lands had been meant to work in harmony. One land tasked with the closure of gates, and the other charged with opening them - this dance evokes a history of the back and forth of conflicting duty, eventually culminating in a tranquil hope for a better future. ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ Even though dances weren’t totally Kiran’s thing, they couldn’t not go onto the dance floor for Zenith’s dances. It’d be a waste! Besides, what was the point in dancing lessons if they didn’t do anything with them? And so! The Summoner bravely approached the dance floor and—ack! This is exactly why I didn’t want to dance, nooooo!! Being flown around like a rag doll (with less pain!) meant Kiran had little choice in their partner for this dance. That was fine enough, they’d expected as much considering the ball was so very big and—wait. How are they going to say hi??? … Maybe this person would be nice enough to not mind… A smile on their face, they assumed this one was not of Zenith (few people were who Kiran didn’t know in the Academy), so! Time to guide! If dancing lessons count as a tutorial… this would be level 1! Time to level up!!
Whatever this dance was, it was certainly chaotic! Alear felt like she could barely get her footing through the steps, and at some point along the way, her partner had passed her off to another-- a figure that seems somewhat familiar. Hadn't they told stories to one another before? Alongside a younger girl and Lord Sigurd? All she can do is smile as she catches her balance, hands resting in Kiran's as she tries to steady them both. "Woah! Kinda unexpected, huh?" She doesn't know the steps from this point onwards, so allowing them to lead is the easiest thing she can do. Thankfully, it seems they're versed well enough in this particular waltz? Tango? Ah, whatever it was. "You're good at this, you know? I feel a little out of my element. Almost all of these dances, I've never seen them before." That does give her an idea, though. "Tell me more about this one, and I'll give you one of my lilies. What do you think?" What she doesn't say, however, is that she'll gladly extend one regardless. @breidatactics
On closer inspection, it looked like this was one of the people they’d told stories with. Specifically the story of Sommie and the dragon… what a fun memory! Kiran nodded along, smiling all the while. They couldn’t exactly sign while dancing so gesturing it was!
As they danced, Kiran hummed along to the music. They tilted their head towards the band then (when granted a moment with a free hand), pointed to themself.
About the dance, huh? So much to tell… agh, Alfonse would be waaaaaay better for this…
Still, they held out a hyacinth to seal the deal. For starters… hmmm. Kiran mouthed the word ‘hope’ as the music picked up. For this, their movements were a bit more intense—more combative almost. Pointing to themself, they mouthed ‘Askr’ and tilting their head towards Alear, they mouthed ‘Embla’. The dance itself could serve as a half decent history lesson, right…?
Can the gods look away so this goes well?? Please—
partners in crime (please help)
Okay so this was a bit of a strange sight…? If it could be called that. Kiran blinked as they looked upon the damage of this… situation. On one hand, it was nice not being the only one messing up tonight. On the other hand, were they really going to be okay?
Before them sat two very broken cameras (why both of them were placed so close together would be a mystery to Kiran even after everything settled). One which Kiran had stepped on, the other which had been…??? Destroyed completely?? Chewed through like a chew toy???
Was that even safe?!
Anyways! Point was! They were both partners in crime now! Two students who definitely shouldn’t be out here this late and definitely shouldn’t have broken those cameras. Alfonse is gonna be soooooo upset… worried too, but mostly upset… On Kiran’s end, they had absentmindedly stepped on it, on the other’s end, they thought she must have mistaken it for something else.
Tapping her on the shoulder, they pointed to their broken camera, then themself and her and her broken camera. They held their hands together and smiled. Hooooopefully, she got the memo…?
ᯓ★ @selkitsune
i summon thee!! goddess messenger fish!!
"You've got it!" Flayn said, proud of her student but also quite pleased with herself. Teaching a man to fish would let him eat everyday, but it also made the teacher very happy, it seems.
"Now, you must throw the line into the water. The key to this is ensuring you are able to cast it as deep into the pond as possible. Fish do not tend to gather by the edges. If you have strength, this is where you ought to use it. Like so: Hyah!"
With a great heave, Flayn swung her rod forward. The line flew out, ribboning through the air before finally landing a few feet away from the docks. The green fishing lure floated atop the water's surface for a second, glittering in the sunlight, before it sank into the dark depths, all its luster curtained behind deep blue. Flayn wiped her forehead with the back of her hand, exhaling.
"Do you understand what I mean?" She faced the student, then flicked her head toward the water, "You ought to give it a try now."
Pride blossomed in their heart as the other cheered. Well, maybe not exactly cheered cheered but! It sure felt like it in their heart of hearts and that was what mattered. Still, they tried to dampen the buzz of energy they got from it to focus real hard on her words.
Like… hyah??? Okay, that’s so doable. Mhm, definitely within my skill level.
They nodded and, with a breath of anticipation, they threw their line into the water. A swing forward! It took some more effort than they’d initially anticipated (almost resulting in the line hitting them in the face! Not good!). But!! With the same level of intensity as a ‘hyah!’ written on their face, they managed to throw the line into the water.
It was not nearly as pretty as how their teacher had done, but their lure dipped its (head?? Toes??) body into the waters, a bit behind hers. A sigh of relief, they turned to the other. Just as they were waiting for what next to do—which was probably just more waiting but still! Gotta check!—they felt a sudden tug.
IS THIS USUALLY QUICK HELP—
Their eyes widened. Okay, okay—uh! This was fine, just gotta reel it in (HOW DO YOU REEL IT IN). Which! Was! Probably! About! Pulling! So, pull they did only to watch in both horror and awe as something very much outside of Kiran’s calibre appeared. A rather large, a rather beautiful, a rather ‘HELPHELPHELPHELP’ fish jumped into the air and back into the lake. What Kiran forgot to factor in was that they, too, could be pulled.
“AAA—”
SPLASH! And into the depths they went…

[ CHOCOLATE ] Stefanelli’s has partnered with the monastery to make the most of the supplies left in excess of their workshops earlier in the year by offering packages of sweet chocolates for attendees. The offerings appear generous… that is, until you open your box to find it only half full. It can't be intentional. Right? That's the main thing that's on her mind when she notices this, but she can't help but glance over at the person nearby opening theirs. "Half full....or half empty?"
What do you do when you’re given a random box of chocolates for free? Check which ones you got, of course! There were a ton of good options to choose from and even if these were ‘extras’, maybe Kiran would get some yummy treats—aaaand it was half empty. The selection itself was… fine enough but still!
As they pouted, someone else came on by. They got out of their mopey state to smile at her. Half full or half empty… good question. The answer didn’t really matter, Kiran would be eating these either way (free chocolate was free chocolate!). Instead of an exact answer, they held a chocolate for the other to take.
The box was held in the middle, in case she found anything she liked. Adding some kindness made any disappointment wayyyy better. For the most part. Oh! Right! Flowers! Popping the box down, Kiran messed around with their hyacinths until… tada! Now it was at least a lot prettier to look out. Pocketing some of the chocolates in their handy dandy random bag in their Summoner’s Cloak (how long had that been in there?? … better not to question it), they gave the box up to the other.
Maybe she’d have more fun with it! Or maybe they just didn’t want to have to hold the box the entiiiiiire time here. They had books to read after all.
Enjoy, they signed quickly. Maybe a bit too fast to be understood completely.
[ PHOTO-ARTIFEX ] - The ever-popular photo-artifex makes its annual return, allowing users to capture pictures in as little as a flash of light and a moment. Take home something to remember the event by!
"There you are," Alfonse greeted the summoner eagerly. Some small anxiety plagued him, as was evident by his expression, but that was hardly out of the ordinary. There was always SOME worry on his mind. In this instance, that worry was Kiran, and all of the people around who Alfonse had not had the chance to personally vet before they interacted with the Summoner. That, however, was not what brought him over.
A momentary glance was cast at the summoner's attire. That familiar cloak was draped about their shoulders, but their hood was down. Beneath the cloak, they were clad in finer clothes than they normally wore. Not an extravagant outfit by any means, but it didn't need to be anything of the sort. It worked well. The hyacinths in their bouquet matched the blue trim on the inside of their cloak the blue of their headband quite nicely. It also matched Alfonse's own bouquet-- funny, that.
"I've brought the photo-artifex," Alfonse stated. "It takes-- oh, you know what it does. You've seen these before. Anyway, I thought it might be nice for us to take a picture together. Sharena and Anna would be delighted to see it. That wouldn't be too troublesome to ask of you, would it? If you've plans already and don't have the time, I'll not force you."
Of course, the first thing to get Kiran out of the world of their book and back to reality was Alfonse’s voice. They blinked, turning to the other with a smile. Page 56. Page 56. Page 56. Page 56. Page—
Repeating the page number over and over was sure to remind them later. A small curse was sent to past Kiran (aka Kiran of only some moments ago) who’d arrived without any bookmarks. They closed their book and took a proper look at their friend’s outfit. Of the two of them, Alfonse’s outfit was more elaborate than theirs. Still! They had some of the other’s colours! Matching in some way was still matching.
With so many people here, talking felt a bit… stifling but they could manage a few words for Alfonse. “Yes!!” they nodded, stepping into place next to Alfonse almost immediately. Taking a hyacinth of theirs, they placed it in Alfonse’s hair. “Matches.”
Now, for the perfect pose… oh! RIGHT! They had the absolute perfect prop for this! Holding a finger up, Kiran quickly rummaged through their pockets and TA DA!! Their favourite good luck charm. To ensure Sharena and Anna could see Alfonse’s likeness to the figurine, they held it by his face.
“Perfect, right?”
Though the castle doors have long been opened, the Summoner remained outside, book in hand. Many figures flitted inside, rushing for the chance to dance. Or something along those lines. Their bouquet was atop their head—a quick little flower crown of hyacinths. It was too much of a hassle to hold otherwise.
Sure, the outfit was a bit simplistic but Kiran cared more about comfort right now. And always, really. Just another page and then… maybe they’ll go inside…

dancing and the despair it brings (to the inexperienced)
Within the school’s halls, the whispers of a ball were nearly impossible to miss. Not even Kiran could escape its clutches… so many people were rushing about in excitement… and yet all the Summoner could feel was dread. Namely about one very specific thing.
How do you even dance at a ball?!
What part of being a tactician needed ANYONE to know how to do a… waltz?? Was that even the name of the dance?? Ohhh, they were so screwed… They could ask Sharena or Alfonse, but, well, this sounded like one of the few things that shouldn’t raise any alarm. And if they were excited…
It’d be mean to ruin it for them, wouldn’t it?
And so, Kiran fell metaphorically and dishearteningly into the depths of despair. Yet there still remained a way forward, a light to follow in the name of—
“Haven’t you heard? Someone’s giving out dance lessons! Probably for the uneducated but still! This might be our chance! C’mon we gotta find her—the dancer Ninian!”
—a dancer called Ninian? The Summoner had done a little bit of research (asked those girls about it) and apparently it was free too.
Wow, maybe my luck isn’t the absolute worst of all time!
And so, they found themself before said dancer with the best kicked puppy expression they could muster. (It wasn’t hard, they really felt like one right now…)

shall we learn? | Minerva+Kiran
↳ Mission Board: Anniversary 2025 - authority +1
Few moments passed after Minerva’s request and as she observed the young professor picking back their wooden sword, she then noticed that they were showing her their next steps: they pointed each protagonist of this training (which meant, themselves, Minerva and the two weapons) and before the Macedon princess could even react, they stood in what Minerva thought as a fighting pose and she right immediately did the same, imitating the positioning of the legs, of the arms, of the weapon. To be honest, it was pretty similar to a fighting position for an axe or a lance, but the red-haired woman was only making mere conjectures on the basis of nothing, since she hardly studied the art of the sword during her training in adolescence.
I wonder what they might do—! Her thought was abruptly interrupted by the sudden rush of the young professor, but luckily for Minerva, her instinct were far more developed than a normal person, especially when it came to dangerous situation like combats and with a simple thrust of her body, she moved on the right side of the battleground, leaving some space for an opportunity attack.
Roll: 1d20 = 13
With the little knowledge she just learnt from theory, Minerva launched herself towards Kiran, pointing the sword at a weak point, an exposed spot (usually a undefended part of the body) and with extreme care, she made sure that her thrust did not reach the actual body of the young professor, making them realize that she wasn’t that unprepared and careless; she studied the body of the young boy, she knew how to dash and move forward, but she surely didn’t know to properly attack with a sword. And this was the exact situation to learn it.
“I like your audacity” she smirked, getting back to a combat position, waiting for them to adjust the posture as well. “But now it’s my turn to try” and she swung the wooden sword in the air, as if she wanted to practice a little bit before actually dashing through her action. Then, she pushed forward, hoping to learn from them the perfect way to dodge the direct attack from an enemy.
Looked like things were going pretty well for her! The parry was good and—well, Kiran was just glad they hadn’t accidentally hurt a professor. Though, the more they thought about it, the more unlikely it sounded. In what world would Kiran be able to beat a professor?
With the wooden sword pointed at them, a smile broke out on their face. They tapped the hilt of their sword as a way to clap. Her words sounded like… yep, battle time. Well, time to find out if there really was a chance for them to beat a professor in a fight. Maybe her lack of experience will help me…?
No time like the present to find out. As the other moved away and switched to a combat stance, Kiran did the same. Okay, just gotta do the same as she did, parry. Or dodge. Whichever ended up happening first.
Roll: d20 — 19
She pushed forward. Kiran could have parried but chances were she was far stronger than them, and so they dodged to the side. While she was still in the momentum of her attack, they pushed forward themself. They pointed their sword at her throat, some centimeters away of course! It’d be, like, soooo bad if they actually poked at her throat. After a couple seconds, they moved back.
From here, they’d wait to see what she’d like to do next. Another try at an attack or maybe it was time for Kiran to attack? Dunno if I can beat what I did this time around though…
ring ring!! got a summoner and a lich at your doorstep!!
Thrasir would follow the Summoner's lead then... As the door opened, she plastered a small and unpractised smile on her face to not look... however she normally looked. The lich let the Summoner communicate, but it became clear that there was a struggle. Seeing the look sent her way, Thrasir had to quickly decide how to not sound... dead. Which she was.
Channel Princess Sharena.
What? No, that was a horrible ide—
"Hi, sorry to knock so suddenly." There was really no time to question it. "We're handing out essential supplies for everyone and asking that everyone stays indoors for the time being."
Without the overall "pep" that Alfonse's sister would have, but more... "casual" and "open", very unlike her usually closed off demeanour. Thrasir hated it. But if it stopped people immediately screaming in terror at seeing an undead abomination. And it somewhat worked, because Thrasir saw the fear start to form on the stranger's face, naturally their eyes fell on her undead body, but this time... eyes raised to the face that was still human.
No screams. Just... hesitance. Maybe a little distrust.
"We're working with the Church of Serios," she added. Hopefully that would work. The sooner they got out of this situation the better.
Luckily for them, the other was nice enough to act on their silent pleas for aid. Even so… it sounded kinda… weird…? Like this wasn’t her talking, but, then again, Kiran didn’t know her all that well. For now. Maybe they could ask about it when everything was sorted.
Kiran nodded along. When the stranger’s gaze turned to them, they wore a smile that was sure to disarm anyone! Usually Alfonse when they were doing something less than wise but still. Near perfect track record too! And it did seem to help some.
“I… see? You’re students then?”
As the other took the package, they nodded. The Summoner pointed up to the blue sky above and then made a very bad impression of a lion. The stranger turned to Thrasir with more than enough confusion to know it hadn’t worked. How sad…
Are my impressions really that bad??
No, no, that couldn’t be it… surely…
