i’ll be in NYC for the rest of the week, so back next week!!

That was not the answer she was expecting. Alu stood there for a moment trying to comprehend what he just told her. “What?” As if she hadn’t heard him, she shook her head. Unable to believe it in the moment. To think that all the time they spent together, he had once been human before. 

“I’m so sorry. I ‘ad no idea..” Aluzka wasn’t sure what to think now. “I’m glad you’re ‘uman….again…” A frown appeared and she felt confused. “Might I ask ‘ow long you were like that for?” Thoughts were brought back to the castle ruins they had spent their time in. Had that been his home? Her heart ached in thinking he had been left there, all alone. 

“Rylan…the castle you lived in. Was that yours?” 

“That’s ‘cause I was never able to tell you,“ Rylan emphasized. There were perhaps more questions she had for him, and with this news there were probably more being created in her head - and he didn’t blame her. He as well had his questions, but he had a long time to figure things out whilst he was a dragon.

Her following question caught him off guard by realizing she didn’t know. But it wasn’t a coincidence she had found him there. The castle the two shared for years, was in fact his home. But that had been longer ago than the lifespan of a human being.

Alu couldn’t be more happy as the kind declared Rylan as his daughters sworn protector, despite the whispers and coming arguments. Thanking her father, Aluzka then excused herself and Rylan from the court. Motioning for him to follow her though all she really wanted to do was grab his hand and run. Leading him towards her favorite place, the garden. 

Once they were alone again, Alu broke character so to speak and turned to look at him again. “This is the place I go the most to feel free. Well, as free as I can..” Alu laughed a bit at the statement and then shook her head. “Nothing ever came close though, to when I was with you. Running around the forest, barefoot and not a care in the world.” Smiling fondly up at him, her heart swelled. 

“Tell me…’ow does it feel to be ‘uman?” Asking as she looked him over again, this time more closely and walked around him. Still in awe at the fact he was in fact human now. Still not sure how it happened but she was happy about it nonetheless. “You must feel so small now..” 

After Rylan took his oath and the ceremony ended, the crowd immediately loudened. Instead of giving them ear, he focused on the princess - with a now valid excuse of him being her sworn protector. 

They not much later arrived outside, at the gardens he flew over before. His eyes scanned their surroundings. It was a lot for her to freely speak and act when supposed to be alone - but for him there were worse consequences if he’d ever be caught. 

“It’s beautiful,“ He spoke, as if seeing it now for the first time - when in fact it was just from another point of view. Rylan walked around, taking in the pleasing green.

Azalea’s heart was drumming loudly inside her chest, almost as if she was a small bird caught by human hands. The idea was ridiculous, the young woman knew that, because at the very least Asher was everything but someone who would break her in his grasp. Still, at a certain moment the brunette reminded herself that he probably could feel it too and she forced her feet to make a step back, even if her hands remained around his neck a second too long. “I’m still the same…”, Azalea whispered before shaking her head dismissively. That wasn’t the right topic for a first talk after so long and usually, she should’ve known that. Should’ve. “I mean… I’m glad you still want to see me, is all I was trying to say.” Finally, the brunette’s hands retreated completely and her feet even made one more step, just for good measure. Maybe hugging him so fast so soon was a mistake, maybe it had made him uncomfortable and she didn’t want that. Lea didn’t want things to ever be uncomfortable with them but this was the reality she had brought upon them. “You look great, Ash”, the young woman finally dared to lift her eyes and look at him. “Do you… How long do you think you can give me? I don’t want to take too much of your time. I can guess you’re busy.”

status:open to m 21+ plot:azalea left their small town after being a victim of a serial killer and that was the last time she and your muse had seen each other; they’ve been best friends before that, even had unspoken feelings towards one another and she had thought about them ever since; !! note: please, do not like my starters! rules are in the source

Azalea clearly remembered all of the times she had promised never to return back to her home town. The desire to run away had always been a part of her, even before almost losing her life and becoming the constant talk of the town for months on end. In a sense, that awful tragedy had been the last push that helped her to finally leave and never look back… Until now. It still felt surreal and a little bit scary, because behind every corner there were memories. A lot of them. And the whispers were back too, of course. The brunette had thought that by now it wouldn’t have fazed her but the reality surprised her once again. And then there was him too. She both dreaded and awaited in hopeful, silly anticipation the moment in which her eyes would finally see him again. Azalea hoped that he wouldn’t judge her too harshly, wouldn’t hold all of the past with its mistakes against her. Honestly, the girl had no idea what she would end up doing if he decided to act like any other person she barely knew. “H-hey”, the brunette breathed out once finally seeing him, hands wrapping around him, reminding herself not to squeeze too hard as not to seem as stupid as she felt.

Open: any (m/f 25+ if romantic) Connection: friend, potential for developing something Note: Zara is a single mother and her little girl could be anywhere from 2 to 4 here

“I’m so sorry I’m late.” Zara felt awful, removing her jacket as she rushed through the door, being as quiet as possible to avoid waking Lily. Hanging up the item next to the door of her small apartment, she moved through to see the other in the living room, offering them an apologetic smile. “The meeting ran over by forty minutes because assholes in high places can’t seem to ever agree on anything. Like, ever.” A hand ran through her dark hair, followed by a sigh passing her lips. “Thank you so much for watching her tonight. I promise I’ll make it up to you.”

          there’s a brief pause when she’s finished speaking, blue eyes mulling over features that he’d come to know like the back of his hand over recent months. he couldn’t quite get over the way she resembled a caged bird and the guilt that resided within him for holding the key. “ you’re not being fair, you know that, don’t you? ” swallows down the tension in his throat as he takes a step closer,  “ i shouldn’t have to ask you to be something you already are. ” his wife, in name and law. two vows were exchanged and for some reason it felt as though only one of them meant the words. “ it doesn’t have to be this way between us. i know this isn’t the life you would’ve chosen but if you just— ” lips purse, he glances away. what was the use in even finishing the thought?

The words he spoke made her let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding in. She could tell what he said, he meant. It was genuine. After being surrounded by royals who only ever spoke to gain something, she could tell when someone was being truthful or not. 

“Then we shall never be apart again.” Another smile appearing on her lips. She let her excitement and happiness bubble up again and she nodded. “Right then. When we go in there, my father will have you kneel and you will do the same thing you’ve already done. Though this time in a more proper manner.” Looking up at him, she admired him for a few more seconds before she had to tear her eyes away. Would she ever get used to him this way or would she always be almost unwilling to look away from him? 

Standing now with a poise only a princess or royal could muster, she motioned for him to follow her back into the room. The guards at the door nodded as they opened the doors for them and then her father, the king, stood up as soon as he saw his daughters face again. 

“Are we ready?” The king asked with a smile. Aluzka looked back at Rylan with a sweet smile. Nodding again, she then moved to stand next to her father. “Yes. Proceed.” She spoke, her eyes still looking to Rylan as if he were the only one in that room. There came a few whispers from the sidelines but Aluzka couldn’t care less. The king leaned over to talk to his daughter in a more hushed tone. 

“Aluzka, my sweet daughter, are you sure about this one?” Asking in a whisper and Aluzka spoke without looking at him. “Yes father. I’ve never been so sure of anything else.” With that, the king nodded and motioned for the man to come forward. 

 Rylan had nodded at her explanation, fully understanding what was going to be asked of him. Just like he did moments ago, yet a bit more formal - to somewhat gain the king’s trust. But somehow he felt less confident. Eventhough he knew now that she stood behind his actions. He just wanted to get this part over with. 

He followed her back into court, his eyes immediately looking at the king - not knowing if he broke rules by looking directly at him. So he quickly diverted his gaze from them and took his stand in front of them when he was motioned to come forward.

“yeah, i was invited. it’s gonna be a fun night” sydney replies, as she finishes applying the last of her make-up. syd was just excited that she’d got invited to one of these things at last. she turns around to look at the other, “the beach? really? in this outfit” a huff of annoyance falls from her lips, “i thought you were coming to this party anyway. my brother said you’d be there”.
