❥: describe a verbal way they would express complete trust.

there are a lot of ways seulgi expresses her trust, however, she’d be only expressing complete trust when talking about her past. she doesn’t like to talk about her time as a thief nor she likes to talk about what lead her to such a life. when asked about her parents, seulgi only says she’s an orphan. anyone that she feels comfortable sharing her past holds her whole trust. 

✗: explain how they portray feelings of hostility or dislike.

☯: do they believe for every darkness there is a lightness? if not, why?

♥: name one thing about the way their emotions work that they despise.

despise is a strong word but sometimes seulgi dislikes the way she’s so transparent. her emotions are very hard to hide and it can be very… uncomfortable to have everyone guessing what she’s feeling almost immediately. and also, sometimes seulgi just hates crying so much. she is a cry baby and cries when she’s happy or sad or frustrated or literally feeling anything intensely. 

✉: do they tend to rely on words or actions more?

☯: do they believe for every darkness there is a lightness? if not, why?

♡: is there a certain scent that brings about nostalgia? if so, describe a memory this scent brings back.

⊗: what is something that causes them to question themself?

usually, it’s ysera’s indisposition and both hers and her dragon’s unwillingness to hurt other people even for the greater good. it makes seulgi wonder if she’s fit for a dragon rider - if that’s really her fate. 

☛: what is their typical response to being given orders?

her response is typically positive. she doesn’t have an authority problem, however, when the orders are made in a very rude manner, she can reply with lack of will and funny faces. if the orders come from someone of the same rank as hers or under her, seulgi usually prefers to think about it as a request and not an order. again, if the person is rude, she will probably refuse to follow what they say and point that they’re being very rude and this is not nice. 

εжз :What about nature do they find calming? What about nature do they find disagreeable?

, grass and fresh cut wood.

there are two memories that come with that scent and they are from very different times of her life. 

i. in the first one she has grass turning around her small finger and a smile on her face. she is very young, ten or eleven as she walks towards the medium-sized house. the skirt of her pretty dress is stained by mud but seulgi doesn’t notice it - though the governess does, muttering something about how it’s impossible to shape her into a lady. incorrigible, incorrigible the middle aged woman complains just to scream for the girl to take off her boots. she does so and is received by her father whose arms held a pile of fresh wood. her mother always tells that he shouldn’t do it - that it’s not a job for a man like him - but her father says it’s a nice exercise. and then he fixes the fire and welcomes his daughter to his lap while she still plays with the plant on her hands.

morning sleepiness is replaced by a mischievous grin. seulgi woke up way too early and while her night was restless, she doesn’t feel as tired as she should. of course, her muscles were still tense and her mouth is dry as if she tried to swallow a mop. the dragon rider already tidied her room, every little detail perfect and nothing out of place. she tried studying a bit, but it seems to be harder to study alone and when the light of the day didn’t shine yet. besides, it feels dull when compared to jinki’s lessons. so now she sits on her bed, mind curling around ideas of what to do, when a look to her wall makes something light in her brain. 

soojung was one of the first people she knew when she first joined the battalion. seulgi rejoiced in the fact that the other rider is a female as well, seeing how the majority of the riders seems to be male. the other also helps her with the bow and arrow which, although is a favorite of seulgi’s, doesn’t favor her a whole lot. she is competent, just above average at it - thanks to soojung’s guidance. sometimes she wishes she knew bow and arrow when she was a thief. well, not to hurt anyone with it, god forbid - no, it just feels like it’d be useful to have a long range weapon. seulgi is strong and she’s been strong for a long time, however, her frame is small and that can be a disadvantage when facing someone way taller than her. well, good thing now she has a dragon to guard her back. 

she chuckles, making her way outside of the bedroom in the most silent way she can. another curiosity of what enticed the friendship between the two females is that their bedrooms are in front of each other. seulgi opens her door and finds soojung’s door - and sometimes even soojung, seeing how they usually rise at the same time. it’s still a bit too early, but seulgi doesn’t mind. it’s a childish prank, waking up her friend before the hour is right and she knows it - and it makes everything even better. because even though seulgi is one and twenty, she is still a child at heart.

she takes a heavy but very content sigh at the look before her. very carefully, seulgi unwraps the little - very little - package and her eyes shine and her mouth fills with water. food. yes, the sight of food. it wasn’t much, just a bread and small fruit she gathered in the woods. but it was her first meal that week and it’s so important she almost feels the urge to cry over it. of course, the bread was purchased with the money seulgi managed to get from the pockets of people in the market, but she never takes more than she needs. “gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat” - that is her motto. after these few years, she hardly feels guilty anymore. yes, stealing is wrong but so is starving to death and she needs to make decisions and define priorities. 

her body is partially hidden by the vegetation of the woods and she smiles. her dagger is just by her side just in case she needs to be quick and use it. seulgi isn’t big on violence though - she usually makes her exit by running away, however, injuring someone is a very effective way to leave them behind. she doesn’t notice that her leg is somewhat exposed when she takes a bite of the bread. it’s dry and harsh on her tongue, but seulgi can’t care less. it feels like paradise and she hums happily while her jaw hurts from munching it. she takes a bit of water to help with swallowing it, her back resting against the tree and a smile on her face. yes, eating is very very good. 

seulgi loves lunch. for long years she lived with the uncertainty of food. she never knew when - and if - she’d have food. so living in a place where she was sure to have food three times a day was a total blessing. and for someone who’s amazed by the breakfast, lunch is incredible. her eyes always sparkle by the sight of the great table and she can barely decide what to eat first. she used to love being in kitchen duty but the cooks understood quickly that she was there to eat more than to work and nowadays she rarely helped preparing the meals. it is a shame but she cares little, after all, seulgi is never embarrassed when she has food even though her meals are greater than many of the other riders. 

today, however, she is in a hurry. it’s one of the few days ysera is being cooperative and seulgi just needs to take advantage of that before the dragon goes back to her lazy ways. oh she loves ysera so much but truthfully, she is a bit jealous of dragons that... well, that are awake for a good part of the day. seulgi just needs to hide these kind of thoughts from her beloved dragon or for sure she won’t get anything. with a sigh, she stretches her arm to get a fruit from the nearest tray and everything would be fine and she would be in her way to meet ysera if she could just hold the damn pear right. like it’s a slippery rock, seulgi loses it from her grasp and unfortunately, the pear lands right on the plate of a fellow rider.
