☆ﾟ*·ﾟPART OF MARRYING the high lady meant that you also married into a family. And that included her brothers and sisters. Big families like this weren't something that Vikram was used to, especially when there were personalities bigger than some of the books he read. He often struggled with making conversation with people who actually wanted to talk, other than his wife of course. As Ravi leaned on his entry way, Vikram's eyebrows raised as he took a deep breath. "I'm your only brother in law," he stated, his voice void of any emotion. But as he spoke more, the request was something that he wasn't fully on board for. However, he was curious about the Starlight Court, as it was something he couldn't find in his texts. So against his better judgement, he actually gave Ravi a soft smile. "You might want to remember this forever, but I'd actually like to take you." Vikram closed his book and stood up, gesturing for him to guide the way. "If I'm good, you'll get me a book? How about the other way around? I'll buy you a trinket or a snack if you let me walk at the speed I'd like?"

"oh, that's very good, vicky, see? sharp as always. that's why you're my favorite!" he winks, smirk wide as getting under the older man's skin was a near and dear hobby he didn't take lightly. ravi points to himself in question, obnoxious as he agrees, smile widening. "oh my god, are you finally opening your heart to me? i've dreamed of days like these. should we scrapbook this moment? I think myra would love that, don't you?" they start leading the way slow relaxed steps before gasping theatrically at the man's next question, tilting their head to him, feigning being touched at the sheer thought. "you want to buy me something? have I wormed my way into that strong as steal heart of yours? hmm I think my sister's gonna need to keep an eye on us, how exciting. imagine the scandal? i'd be living."

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY THINGS SHE'D LOVED ABOUT HER CHAOTIC UNCLE, BUT HER FAVORITE THING ABOUT HIM - IN THIS MOMENT, THAT IS - WAS PROBABLY THE ETERNAL READINESS AT GETTING HER INTO TROUBLE WITH HER PARENTS. It wasn't like her parents every truly scolded her ( she knew Ravi would never get her into true trouble - just some innocent mischief ), at least not for long.

they hum disapprovingly, squinting at her as she tells him they should stay put, tilting their head at her with a scrunch of their nose. "ugh, I think your dad might be rubbing off on you a little bit there, that's tragic. how many times have I ever gotten you into any kind of trouble that wasn't just in some good fun, hm? i'm just tryin' get my bearings and make this place a home." his pout is dramatic and on full display as he places a hand on his heart.

For a fae his size, Remy surely scared easy. He was startled by Ravi as he appeared by his side out of nowhere while Remy was out trying to get some things to build up a bit of an inventory so he could work from his tiny room at the inn he was staying at. The visit from the Apothecary from Hybern had him wanting to get his hands dirty again, perhaps even teaming up with her for future work. They were all from different courts but here, all under the same starlight sky, they were all the same and needed to help each other, or at least that's how he saw things. But nevertheless, the liege's presence startled him for a moment, making him flinch before he turned to look at them better. Remy vowed at them and quickly apologized. "Forgive me my liege, I was distracted." Of course he blushed at the compliment and didn't understand half the words Ravi was saying but he hardly ever did. "Um— I'm" He looked around for a moment before he sighed. "Apologies, my liege, I do not understand what you mean."

was it bad of him to admit he kind of enjoyed how jumpy the apothecary got at just the sight of him? ravi couldn't really help it when it felt like such a fun little game of cat and mouse between them. it also intrigued them, very much so, an Illyrian, big and strong and powerful...easily scared? there was definitely more to him, but for now, all the liege cared for was toying with him some more. "oh please, no need to bow, I think we know each other well enough for that...of course, if you still want to, though, who I may to ever say no to you?" he smirks just a bit, biting his lip as he takes a moment to look the other over before taking a few steps closer, playful. "you can also just call me ravi, y'know? no need to be so formal with me, though I do think it's very cute, i'll give you that. I mean by the flower, you were almost my guard, I think that stands to count for something, right?" to be fair the role was to be the guard for spring, not ravi specifically but those were just details right now, obviously. "I would've treated you very well, too, just for the record. but anyway, how have you been, my winged little creature?"

The second Dorian saw a guard outside of the Luxencia looking for him, his heart stopped a little, letting out an "I'm too pretty to go to prison" towards him. He was pretty sure he hadn't done anything wrong but at this point, everything was so hectic that he had to fear the worst. Luckily, when the guard announced he was a Spring guard, Dorian managed to put two and two together and knew what this was about. All the way to Sterallia, the poor fae was blushing crimson, surely knowing what this was about and having done this many times before. Dorian had mercy and didn't tease or bother him, didn't talk at all.

☆ﾟ*·ﾟHAVING BEEN DROPPED in an unfamiliar place, most fae might be confused, flabbergasted, but not Tessa. She was thrilled, excited to enjoy the new world of a court she'd never heard of before. There were stories, plants, and fruits to discover, ones that might even teach her something new. "It's so whimsical! I've never seen anything like it! The skies, the trees, even the flowers, it's like it's come out of a fairytale." Nodding with a bright smile, "They'll thank us and throw us a party! One with grand feasts and clothes full of starlight!" Tessa giggled, hopping up off her chair, pushing the door open, excited. "Well let's go explore, find out what all we can decorate with!"

ravi tilts his head to the side as he hears her enthusiasm, now this was exactly what he was looking for since they had made it to the new court. there was so much that had gone on, and sure it was a mess and a few lives were lost here and there but...there were in the midst of a whole new place to explore, new secrets to find, and the liege of spring was by far more than ready to focus on that, rather than...whatever else. "mm, if you ask me I think it suits your charms perfectly, little dove, you fit right in." now a party. that they could definitely get behind. "oh, I love the way you think, might have to steal you away from night more often...what are thinking? masquerade? that could be pretty hot...and under all the lights out here...might also have to steal every dance from you if you wouldn't mind...?"

time & place: the streets of stellaria. daytime.

ravi doesn't even ask, just quickly scoops up a bit of the nuts from her hand to eat immediately with a wide smile on his face as she looks back at him, furrowing his brows at his neice's last words, placing a hand on his chest. how sad. "...and you found that in...chestnuts...? oh babe, we gotta smuggle you out more. trust me, there's so much more to enjoy." what did ravi think about the whole ordeal all of prythian was in? well they were currently too busy smoking and or drinking since they landed so they didn't have to think about it. it was like the mother herself was cackling down at them, knowing that the very reason they stopped caring about not becoming high fae any time soon was because of the tragedy that struck their court 400 hundred years ago. "tell you what, your super cool uncle is sneaking you into the forbidden parts of the palace to see what other unknown shit we can find, 'mkay? sure, there'll be a lot of artifacts and things to read and such but maybe we'll find something worth it, right? if it isn't cool, why go through the trouble of hiding, it right?"
