Hmm... Okay. This will be a tad difficult. (She’s one of the least angsty characters rip)

Birthdays are… weird. Usually only the rich celebrate them, or if they’re a particularly high up in the clergy they might as well. Elves just don’t celebrate it due to their long life spans. So, this is a completely hypothetical scenario, but a fun one nevertheless.

Ettia’s fingers curl over her mouth in a miraculous display of faux surprise, her pale eyes squinting in happiness regardless of the occasion. The rest of the group stand idly around the hall, various degrees of excitement buzzing through the small army. And yet she knows.

The beating of your heart slows, then comes completely to a halt as you look at her in her beautiful blue and purple robes as if it were just any other day. And yet, the way she stands, that necklace you’ve never seen her wear before, indicates she was prepared for something one way or another.

She approaches you, and all you can utter out is, “You knew.” Ettia gives you a sympathetic look, a hand moving to the back of your neck as she pulls you into a half hug. A hand cards your your hair and it’s at this point you realise she’s trying to calm you. It usually works. But this time you frown.

“Yes, I did,” She says in her singsong voice. Her cheek is pressed against the top of your head, your face pressed into her collarbone. “But I swear it wasn’t because anyone told me.”

“Then… how?”

Ettia chuckles lowly for a moment, not gracing you with an answer as she continues to silently implore you to stop your pouting. When that doesn’t work, she pulls away, a sheepish smile on her face. “Well… I may have seen one of the orders you left out on your desk.”

And immediately, your body freezes. Of course. During the long nights you stayed up to plan this event you often passed out… Only for Ettia to wake you and force you to come to bed. You groan against her robes, angrily huffing as you kick yourself mentally. How could you neglect this simple thing? But Ettia pulls you off her, her hands gentle against you as she smiles.

Sorry for taking so long anon, yes! My head is much better now, thanks for asking! <3

What you need to know is that both have had many past lovers. They both have had children and you can probably guess their particular approaches to it but for various reasons had to leave at some point or another.

Ettia tries to keep in contact with her children but when you're long-lived like she is it can be hard to keep track of people who otherwise might not be, and that's even provided they want to talk to her. Gwyn is... not like that at all. Call it creative differences.

As for notable lovers, Ettia once loved a revolutionary who, like many before him, died in the persuit of his life's goal. Or betrayal, one of the two. She also may or may not have once been the mistress of a queen or two but that's purely speculation ;3

Gwyn, has mostly just been a traveller and has had far less dalliances than his sister. Some notable lovers, however, is a previous Oracle, before Korrin that ended poorly (it's why he finds them so obnoxious now), maybe a runaway prince at some point (he could never quite prove that), and, maybe one of our RO's (take a wild guess who 🙄).
