❤️- A happy memory that makes them smile

With a happy squeal, Kinagosa ran to the Draenei woman to embrace her in a warm hug. With a quiet giggle, the Draenei woman easily picked up the whelpling, twirling her around a few times before nodding a quick greeting to Jasculs as well, who followed more slowly behind.

“Kina, it’s been awhile! How are you?” Azumane asked, setting the child down.

“Good! And you?” Kina replied.

“Been good too. And what about you?” She asked, turning to the Demon Hunter. “You staying out of the maws of animals?” She joked.

With a shrug, Jasculs just smiled. “To the best of my ability.. Which, apparently, isn’t much.”

Azumane laughed. “Fair enough. Creatures never did exactly have a taste for fel, so at least you know they wont gobble you up too much.. Ryuunosuke, though.. He’s seemed to oddly take an interest in you. So it’s not all bad, I suppose?”

Now it was Jasculs turn to laugh. “That core hound definitely doesn’t know his own strength…Or weight. But, true, at least there’s some animal out there that doesn’t want to maul my entire face off.”

“Oh! Speaking of! Kina! I got something that may be relevant to your interests.” Azumane said, turning her attention back to the whelpling that still clung to her legs.

Kinagosa’s eyes lit up and she bounced excitedly as Azumane took her smaller hand in her own, leading her outside. They had barely stepped onto the lawn before Kina let out another squeal, beaming up at Azumane. In the yard had stood a great Ox. It’s fur was purple, the mane tanned, and runes looked as if they were carved into its sets of horns.

“You got another!” Kina beamed.

“I did! This one’s been following me since the hillsides in Stormheim. He’s definitely as stubborn as an ox, as they say too. A giant baby, is what he is. Likes to headbutt everything, so be careful Jasculs.” Azumane explained.

At the mention of being prone to headbutting, Jasculs promptly stood behind the woman. “He won’t headbutt you though, right?”

“……” She stayed silent.

“Azumane.” Jasculs almost begged.

“Honestly? Depends on his mood. But I’ve handled worse.” She just shrugged.

“Thats…Not reassuring.” He replied, hunkering down farther in hopes the Ox didn’t see him. Damn him and his affinity for pissing off every animal in existence.

“Wasn’t supposed to be.” She said simply.

“What’s it’s name?” Kina interrupted, pulling on Azumane’s arm to get her attention.

Rustling the kid’s hair, Azumane answered. “I really couldn’t decide on a name for the longest time. Nothing just seemed to fit, yknow. But eventually I decided on Kyoutani and it seems to fit pretty decently. At the very least, he seems to respond to that more than anything else, so that’s partially a reason too.”

Tagged by: @scarletlioness (well, technically you tagged Kina but since I already did one for her, figured it could be an excuse to do one for this guy too since he’s pretty new anyways lmao)

FC: At the moment, he doesn’t have a fc. He does have a voice claim though! the Narrator from Bastion.

Name: Solastrasz, more widely known as Sol’alore Firewing.

Age: Exactly unknown, he stopped counting after the first few centuries. He would be considered a middle aged adult, though.

Height: 6″5″ as an elf, in his true form he’s average

Weight: 250 lbs (claims its muscle mostly. Nobody really wants to argue that he’s kinda chubby. Though both would technically be correct.)

Eye color: Golden

Hair color: Dark Brown as an elf

Date of Birth: 5/25

Favorite smell(s): Anything with a sweet smell

Birth Gem: Emerald

Race: Sin’dorei // Red dragon

Talent(s): Skilled in hand-to-hand combat, anything that requires being stabbed (or stabbing) with a sword, downing an entire pint of booze in a few seconds, flat.

A wish they have always wanted: To return home.

Your muse’s catchphrase(s): “..I’m too sober for this shit.”

Likes: A good drink, honesty, respectable people (though his definition of “respectable” is questionable), nature

Dislikes: Basically anything else

Birthmarks?: None

Something about your muse that is different from everyone else:  He tries to purposefully blend in so hopefully not much sticks out.

What makes your muse cry?: Mostly what happened with Korialstrasz in the Twilight of the Aspects

What makes your muse happy?: Genuine happiness is rare for this drake. He’s a pretty good actor, though.

What makes your muse laugh?: Shitty jokes, mostly

Does your muse love his/her parents? Why or why not?: Yes, he has a lot of love and respect for both his parents.

Does your muse have any friends? Which friend is closest to him/her?: He’s got some, yes. Though none he thinks is particularly close to.

Your muse’s favorite food?: “all of it”

Does your muse follow a religion? If so, what is it and what are their beliefs?: He wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a religion but he’s found himself praying to Eonar the Lifebinder as of late. As the Titan that originally blessed Alexstrasza with the creation of the Dragon Aspects, he felt it was right to pay some kind of homage to her.

What would get your muse to fall in love with someone?: Despite his front of being tough-and-rowdy, “nothing can hurt me” type, he genuinely wants someone that would care for him, in every sense of the word.

Has your muse ever killed/murdered somebody? Why did they do it and what was their motive? On the battlefield? He’s killed several, he’s sure. But he’d never label himself a murderer.

Does your muse have a type when it comes to physical attraction?: Not particularly, no. His tastes varies.

What does your muse find endearing personality wise?: Someone that can either keep up with his drinking, his jokes, or really just him in general

What is the stupidest/ most illogical thing your muse has done and why did they do it?: Leaving Wyrmrest was pretty stupid and illogical, now that he’s had time to think about his actions. All because of his anger.

“Friend, I’ve been asked a lot of strange questions in my years. I couldn’t really name a single particular instance. Let alone remember them all. But… Then again.. Being asked this question by a slowpoke in the sky… Well, that’s a new one even for me.

Sometimes the best lessons don't come from books, but from experiences and real voices.

Last Tuesday, our group finally presented Game 2, and honestly, it was a rollercoaster of nerves and excitement. Before standing in front of the class, I kept asking myself, “What if I forget what to say?” But the moment we started, everything felt lighter because we were there for each other. Every time one of us stumbled, someone else was ready to catch up. That kind of teamwork made me realize we weren’t just presenting we were growing together.

The activities themselves were surprisingly fun. The 5 Why’s pushed us to dig deeper into the problem, like peeling back layers until we found the root cause. The Fishbowl felt like being part of a talk show where we shared ideas while others just listened it was nerve-wracking at first, but also empowering. The Blind Side was a wake-up call that, yes, there are still many things we don’t know, and that’s perfectly fine because it means we still have space to learn. And the Memory Wall? That was my favorite. Looking back at our shared experiences reminded me how important it is to celebrate small wins and appreciate the people beside you.

But this activity doesn’t end there. The continuation is even more exciting we’ll be doing interviews with the people who might actually use our product: CHBs with waste materials. And that feels different because it’s not just us talking anymore it’s about listening to real voices. I’m genuinely curious about what they’ll say. Will they trust CHBs made with waste materials? Will they see it as a good idea, or will they have doubts? Whatever their answers are, I know it will help us see things from another perspective.
