#islanzadi

Murtagh: "I hate my parents!"

Eragon: "Why would you-"

Arya: "Feeling this. You have no idea what bullshit my mom is talking again. She wants me to become a doctor now. Last week it was lawyer. Ugh."

Eragon: "Actually, I think that-"

Murtagh: "My father ate all my cocolate. Just to make a point."

Arya: "Which one of the two?"

Murtagh: "Fuck. You."

Eragon: "... actually, I like my parents. They're pretty neat."

Wrote this entire thing and then my browser froze and deleted it lmao. sorry this took so long. Great ask!

ERAGON: Is confused, but as long as it makes you happy.

ARYA: *yowling cat noises*

OROMIS: Refuses to answer straightforwardly how he feels about this and is talking in circles.

MORZAN: Already secretly paints his nails goth black but would still stab you if you tried it.

MURTAGH: Drops his head dramatically on the table with a loud “UGHHHH” but lets you do it anyway.

NASUADA: *hesitant* “…Fine, but only if it’s red.” *points at EXTREMELY specific red-wine-maroon mail polish you’ve never seen in your life.

GARROW: Would make Birka and Brugh interchangeably step on you.

RORAN: Could not care less as long as Ismira helps with the nails and he can do it with Katrina, or at least talk to her.

ISLANZADÍ: Would absolutely not allow it unless it was an obscenely dramatic glitter polish.

ALÍN: “GLITTER!!”

SAPHIRA: Only accepts if the nail polish color compliments her scales.

THORN: Watches quietly and starry-eyed as you take the time and care to make his talons look nice. He is smiling the whole time.

FÍRNEN: Fidgets and moves like a little kid the entire time because he is excited.

GLAEDR: *earthquake noises*

GARZHVOG: Will allow it if you listen to and share the stories of his people and share some of your own.

BLÖDHGARM: Will allow nail polish, forbids the face mask because fur and damp do not mix.

ORIK: “I’ll be a BEWTIFUL FECKIN’ PRENCESS, HVEDA, DON’T KNOCK ET TILL YEH TROY ET!”

This kind of dialogue is how I imagine people lying to, or rather deceiving, one another in the Ancient Language. A criminal lack of this kind of doublespeak in elvish politics tbh.

Explanation: Palpatine had a world bombarded from orbit to destroy a bunch of cloning facilities to replace the clone soldiers with other troops, but the ships got filmed doing it. This is him turning the tables and getting what he wants. How it'd work in the Ancient Language:

"I am deeply troubled by this recent revelation." statement of fact, he's troubled it got leaked rather than by it's existence though.

"My gratitude to Senator (however you spell it) for exposing a rogue element within our ranks." he's happy she and her allies outed themselves.

"Many lives have been lost. But I assure you, Admiral Rampart will face the consequences for his treachery. However, he did not act alone." statement of fact, statement of fact, statement of fact.

"The fact that the clones under his command so blindly follow orders, inflicting such carnage without hesitation, gives me pause." possibly why he wanted to get rid of them in the first place, and otherwise he might have just been surprised by how effective the indoctrination (and in that canon, brain-chips) was.

"Perhaps... it is time for a change." perhaps, then again, perhaps not :)

Eragon: literal embodiment of 🥺🤒. Very needy, spends 98% of time cuddled against Saphira. Does not handle being sick well, cranky af if he has to do anything other than rest.

Saphira: Deny, deny, deny. “I can’t get sick! What are you talking about?” Strong, suffer-in-silence type because only weak people get sick. Hmph. How dare you suggest such a thing.

Arya: Could be dying, on fire, and wouldn’t show it in the slightest. Gil’ead was much worse. She’d be out fighting a war, making human men cry while she has fever-bright eyes and is semi-conscious.

Islanzadi: kinda like Arya, but more prone to irritability. The “but I don’t FEEL WELL” slips through her facade a little more.

Roran: Feels like shit, but doesn’t let it stop him in doing what he needs. Will complain to Katrina, but otherwise he refuses to admit to being ill at all.

Katrina: Very prim and proper, not -so-secretly enjoys having Roran fuss over her for once.

Glaedr: Like Saphira, but with additional male angst.

Oromis: “I guess this is how it is.” Proceeds to sit quietly, sipping tea, and reflecting on the interconnectedness of life.

Nasuada: Does not let illness stop her, refuses to show weakness, and often works to the point of fainting. Pretty much normal Nasuada, haha.

Elva: oh she angy. RUN.

Any and all shades: dramatic babes. Throw themselves, draped across a loveseat, wearing a silk robe and whining CONSTANTLY.

Galby: STAY AWAY, for the love of all that is good-! You do NOT want to cross him in this state.
