dancing prompts // ACCEPTING

“you have outdone yourself once again.” @ofandraste​

       josephine’s hands rest gently clasped in front of her waist as she surveys the banquet hall before her. she has quintuple-checked every possible last-minute detail, spoken to every person within her line of vision, and walked the ramparts until she truly believed her feet would detach from her ankles in protest. it has reached the point of the evening where she needs to let go and allow the night to continue organically, much to the chagrin of her unremitting perfectionism. this is the state that the inquisitor finds her in.

Send “Glimpse to the past” For a random memory from my muses childhood

There is an uneasy hum in the summer air. She is thirteen, maybe fourteen, the years have blended together other time. Father has taken Bethany out into the woods to train, because nobody will notice them there. Mother and Carver have gone to the market, and they won’t be home for a long time. That leaves her home alone. There is usually a lot to do but now there is only the uneasy feeling, so she sits on the porch and try to sharpen the battered old sword she and Carver share. 

When he comes marching up to the house, she expects it. She doesn’t move, just watches him and sharpens the sword. He has a sword emblazoned on the front of his armor. is your sister home? he asks and she says nothing. She could tell him to leave, but that wouldn’t help. He gets angry and steps onto the porch. tell me where she is, girl. This sword is dull and old and won’t be good for anything, so she says come inside, she’ll be back soon. Mother makes sure all the kitchen knives are kept sharp. 

She hides his body out in the woods where the wolves will find him first. They can’t use a templar’s armor, that’s too dangerous, but his sword is in good condition, so she takes that. Later, she gives the old sword to Carver and keeps the new one for herself and when Father asks where did you get that, she just says i found it and Father doesn’t ask anything else. 

Send me a '★' and I will tell you how my character feels about yours.

2. Do they have any annoying quirks? If so, what are they?

You know those idle animations she has? Yeah. Imagine how the sound of metal boots on stone when she does the ankle roll. Does "rude and bad at talking to people" count as an annoying quirk?

5. What is one thing they do that can negatively affect their relationship with friends?

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HA yeah. She is shut-off and aggressive and hard to read. She keeps people at a distance and is slow to trust, but can at the same time be possessive and clingy. She'll be rude and can say mean things, sometimes, though she usually tries to think these things over more with friends. Very hesitant to show affection to people, so it's easy for her to accidentally lose a close bond with someone because she doesn't vocalize how important they are to her. Bad at communication. 

7. What is the biggest mistake they’ve ever made? 

"You know, That thing on your hand, It's not looking so good."

A pause, and the dwarf refuses to move from his perch just yet.

these are like the only three i remember already answering wh O O PS thank you though

Do you think that you’re a good person?

" I'm a great person. "

         Dark swirling in the pit of his stomach. Fear, sickly          and thick, clutching at his insides as a life force. Lies,          lies, and more lies. Who is nice? Who is worth saving?          Why can't he save them all?  ( he shouldn't have to make         this choice at all )    He could have a farm on the outskirts         of some piece of shit city and the only thing he would have         to worry about would be what crops would be best for the         upcoming season. Death and blood and no, he isn't a         good person because good people don't fuck up as         royally as he does sometimes. They save the day         and everyone walks away. He is not a good person,         no matter what superficial title they give him.

Do you think that killing is ever justified?

        It shouldn't be, but it is. He's enacted the thrill of swift         justice more times than he can count, even if he can         very much convince himself it was always a case of         'they struck first'. He shouldn't be able to play the role         of the Maker as he does, and yet ------ 

                                                                                there are those         who have chosen to walk down a path of destruction         and ruin. He is a hero only for the fact he cut down         someone who was on the wrong side. The side         of the minority.
