#cuinn

Faeries are mischievous little things. Young ones are always looking for the best opportunities for practical jokes. Cuinn and Adie were often thought of as rascals, when the both of them were younger they often sneaked into the castle. Snooping around in the castle and stealing sweets from the kitchens.

The two Faerie boys never got in too much trouble for it. All Faerie children have mischievous tendencies, the elders knew of this because they were like that once too. Not all of them were completely interested in mischief-making though, some young Faeries can be a bit more responsible. Usually it was those who had an advanced amount of magic, preferring to hone their skills and study instead of playing pranks and jokes.

Faeries always grow out of playing practical jokes when they get older. Cuinn and Adie were only twelve years-old, still very young in Faerie years. The winged creatures could live up to a thousand years-old. The two boys had sneaked into the kitchens again and grabbed some snacks to eat while they waited to see if the Human would come back.

Cuinn and Adie decided to have a small picnic while they waited. There were flower cakes (cakes decorated with beautiful flowers), freshly baked cookies, tasty jams, and muffins. For drinks they had very sweet juice made from nectar, it was incredibly healthy and it could restore a fatigued Faerie's energy really quickly.

"Alright Cuinn! This is the spot where the Human showed up right?"

"Absolutely! Let's eat our snacks while we wait though, it would be a shame to waste all of it!"

"Good plan!"

They started with some bread and jam first. The sweetness of the berries was like an explosion of flavours! Then the two boys ate some of the flower cake. Delicate icing decorated the baked goods, creamy and delightful. Cuinn and Adie took sips of the nectar, it was so sweet that the two Faeries ended up making 'poker faces', the ended up falling over in a fit of giggles after that.

"That was delicious! We should save the rest for later. I'm full to bursting!" Adie said jokingly while he packed up the desserts into a basket, Cuinn put the drinks away, carefully sealing them shut with a metal lit.

Faeries were known to always save their leftovers. When it came to food, preserving it was incredibly easy. The ice elemental Faeries had an everlasting abundance of ice that they would usually sell in the market. Cuinn had a box in his tree-home that was regularly filled with ice, freezers like these were commonplace in an average Faerie's house. Though wealthier ones would have special store rooms created specifically by a team of Snow Faeries.

Things got very quiet after that. Cuinn and Adie listened to the sounds of birds chirping and rushing water while they waited for the Human girl to show up. Eventually it started to get dark. Next thing Cuinn knew was that it was late in the evening.

"Haha.. this was fun, but I'm getting a little tired. I'm gonna go home now, wanna come?" Adie rubbed his eyes and gave the shorter Faerie a sleepy smile. In contrast to Adie's sleepiness, Cuinn felt wide awake. Wanting to stay here a little bit longer.

"Nah I'm good! Go on without me Adie. Besides I like watching the stars! I'll see you tomorrow!"

The two friends wished each other goodnight, one headed home while the other stared at the stars reflecting on the water.

"Hmm.. I wonder if humans like watching stars too?" Cuinn thought aloud, peacefully watching the North Star. It twinkled brightly in the sky as though it were greeting the Faerie child in a friendly manner.

Everything about this area felt so peaceful. Crickets chirped and water bubbled in the stream, calming and wonderful. Cuinn loved relaxing here. Though seeing a Human on the other side of this river made him enjoy it even more. Cuinn yawned and eventually fell asleep. The ground was soft and comfortable. He spent the night having pleasant dreams until morning.

------------

In the early hours of the morning, the sun just rising over the horizon. The sound of a loud horn boomed through the forest. Cuinn woke with a start, and looked around in all directions. In a panic he flew over to that water-lily he had been hiding in when he saw the Human.

A siren was going off. Cuinn had only heard this sound twice, once when he was two and another when he was five. Too little to understand what it meant but it still scared him.

'The horn! Are we under attack?! What's happening?!' The Faerie boy had no choice but to hide in the flower. It was a great hiding spot, no one would check the water-lilies.. but that hopeful thought turned out to be wrong. A shadow appeared on the other side of the lily's petals, oh no.. they were coming closer.

"Cuinn!" Adie peered through the thin flower petals and pushed through them like a curtain.

"Adie?! What's happening why are the horns sounding?!" Cuinn immediately hugged his friend, in the panic he had almost forgotten about Adie. He was glad that his best-friend was alright.

"I'm not sure, but I heard some of the adults talking about Red Caps!" Adie hid inside the lily with the smaller Faerie, it was too dangerous to go back to the Haven now. If they're truly under attack by Red Caps then the safest thing to be doing right now would be to stay out of sight.

"Red Caps?!" Cuinn had only heard about them from scary tales often told around small fires. Those wretched monsters took delight in ravaging and ruin. Why out of all places would they come here?

"I don't know for sure! I'm too scared to go back home.. when I went to your house to see if you were there and couldn't find you, I figured you were still here so I had to see if you were okay Cuinn!"

"Thank you! I think we'll be safe in here.. Red Caps can't fly can they?" The stories the Faerie had heard didn't explain much about their appearance. What Cuinn did know however, was that they were big Goblin-like creatures that wore hats soaked in red..

"No I don't think so.. let's keep quiet just in case. I hope the soldiers can stop them.." The kingdom had a small army in case of potential threats. It wasn't very large.. but it was the best chance they had at protecting themselves. The Haven was a peaceful city and attacks rarely happened.. Cuinn hoped that they had some sort of emergency system in place, for that reason.

----------------

Somewhere in a village close to the forest. A little girl was staring out her window, watching the trees and the river. She could here the distant sound of horns coming from the direction of the woods.

"Mama why is there loud sounds coming from the trees over there?"

"I don't hear anything dear. Just your imagination, nothing lives inside the woods except for little animals and birds."

"But Mama, Grandma told me little folk live in there."

"Hush.. those are just fairytales child. Now be a good girl and help me make some lunch."

"Okay Mama.."

Nearby two Faerie children hid in a water-lily. The smell of delicious soup and baked bread made their stomachs rumble as they waited for the threat to disappear.

Attractiveness:

repulsive || hideous || ugly || not attractive || unappealing || not unattractive || meh || no preference || ok || mildly attractive || nice looking || cute || adorable || attractive || pleasant on the eyes || good looking || hot || sexy || beautiful || gorgeous || hot damn || would tap that || perfect || godlike || holy fuck there are no words

Despite looking a little like that certain purple bastard, being smaller and younger than Luvshan makes Cuinn seem more cute to him. Must guide and support the little komodopup.

Personality:

grating || irritating || frustrating || boring || confusing at best || awkward || unreasonable || psychotic || disturbing || interesting || engaging || affectionate || aggressive || ambitious || anxious || artistic || bad tempered || bossy || charismatic || appealing || unappealing || creative || courageous || dependable || unreliable || unpredictable || predictable || devious || dim || extroverted || introverted ||  egotistical || gregarious || fabulous || impulsive || intelligent || sympathetic || talkative || up beat || peaceful || calming || badass || flexible

As much as that silence and aloof behaviour annoys him, Luvshan also finds himself comforted by it. He also thinks there some hidden intelligence behind that quiet mask and it intrigues him. Cuinn certainly seems more observant than he lets on.

How likely they would have sex with them:

not if they were the last person on earth and the world was ending || fuck no! || never || no way || not likely || not sure || indifferent || I’m asexual || maybe || probably || it depends || fairly likely || likely || yeah sure || yes || would tap that || hell yes || fuck yes! || wishing that could happen right now || as many times as possible || we are already having sex

If Luvshan wasn’t so focused on that other purple bastard, and if Cuinn would be interested in men, maybe. But most likely not.

Level of Friendship:

never in a million years || worst of enemies || enemies || rivals || indifferent || neutral || acquaintance || friendly toward each other || casual friends || friends??? || good friends || best friends || fuck buddies || bosom buddies || practically the same person || would die for them || true friends || my only friend ||

It seems the grump lizard considers Cuinn a friend, not that he would ever admit it.

First impression of them:

I hate them so much || I don’t like them || I don’t trust them || they annoy me || they’re weird || I’m indifferent || meh || they seem alright || they’re growing on me || truce || I think I like them || I like them || I’m not sure if I trust them || I trust them || they’re cool || they’re genuine || I think we’re going to get along || I really like them || I think I’m in love || oh fuck they’re hot || I love them

Annoyed scowling faces all the way, nothing surprising here. Cuinn did many things Luvshan found annoying, and even more so when Cuinn did them on -purpose-.

Current impression of them:

I hate them so much || I don’t like them || I don’t trust them || they annoy me || they’re weird || I’m indifferent || meh || they seem alright || they’re growing on me || truce || I think I like them || I like them || I’m not sure if I trust them || I trust them || they’re cool || they’re genuine || I think we’re going to get along || I really like them || I think I’m in love || oh fuck they’re hot || I love them

Cuinn lets him talk and doesn’t seem -too- uninterested by it. That seems to put him into Luvshan’s good books, for some reason. He is still a little annoying though.

How good of a kisser:
