never changing, like a song known by all, whispered low && high, reverberating the same chorus — like the color of the sky, or the hum of the strahl’s engine. like the dry heat of rabanastre on a clear day. warmth welcomed them as soon as they stepped out && immediately they split ; fran wandered off to buy supplies but he lingered, voicing request for a routine check - up. the flight had been long, dull, && the respite was appreciated. how long they’d stay, he couldn’t say, but for now he enjoyed being able to stretch limbs without risking an accidental slap at his partner.
it didn’t stop someone else from latching on && the sudden motion made him tense up ——– a beat && he exhaled, body loosening, settling into a rested stance ; sympathetic eyes && the small curve of a teasing smile as he turned, dislodging the monarch from his person. gone was the armor — the ridiculously bright skirt — replaced by garments far more fitting of her rank. royalty dipped in the finest of threads.
❛ princess ——— ah, QUEEN.
—————— your majesty. ❜
words spoken before, in similar dulcet timbre. peace had done her country well, but she glowed — far more beautiful than any desert flower he’d seen before. the slightest of bows was given ; the smile turning sharp && wry. he teased, it showed in his eyes. quiet laughter without spite. ❛ you HONOR me with your presence. ❜ stranger still to see her by herself. ❛ you look well. how fares the obligations ? tired of being a queen yet ? ❜ head canted to the side, subtle motion towards the airship behind him.
❛ you might have to wait, should you wish
to be kidnapped. it’ll be some time yet
before she’s ready to fly. ❜
How she made missed the ever charming tone of the sky captain!
eyes lingered on him, recalling on fond memories & how much
he had remained the same. How freeing it must have been to sail
the skies without a single WORRY -- oh how she envied the team.
she had a ( d u t y ) to her people to carry through & lead them into
a new PEACEFUL era. Yet a tiny part of her wished to run away,
find herself among the clouds -- a dream that would have to remain
just that. Returning back from her thoughts, gentle laugh rang from
her small frame.
❛ I see you’ve come to rob my kingdom DRY.
I’ve become immune to your CHARMS,
you’ll have to try another ploy this time. ❜
If the duo ever needed anything, they need only ASK. She was
in debited to them & would never be able to repay. They were
well off ENOUGH with their own TREASURES & maybe
( p r i d e ) would stand in the great captain’s way if he were in
any real trouble to ask for help -- he was the leading role after
all. Finding herself starring at the ship mentioned, a beauty
it stood & once again she found herself glad to have it have it
stranded here. It wouldn’t be here long, nor would it’s crew &
their time together she would have to make the most of.
❛ To think, I had held hopes you had come
to whisk me away with you, I’m sure they
would pay a much BIGGER ransom this time. ❜
Eyes darted around them realizing it was best to move on
before they drew a CROWD, she was easily recognizable with
such gown, though she had no FEAR with the male by her side.
❛ I think we should move, before they grow too CURIOUS. ❜
slender arm found it’s self linked with the male’s, a way to make
sure they were not SEPARATED trying to weave their way out
from here -- though the comments imagined from his lips were
already FRUSTRATING. She was his for the day & would follow
anywhere he liked.
