Like clockwork.

The transport sputters as it rolls to a shuddering stop. Between the dying gasps of the engine and rising steam throwing a blinding wall of fog across the windscreen, it's obvious there has been a critical failure. Not something that can be patched up on the side of the road though the driver still steps out to assess the damage.

“Talk about a frosty reception.” He unhelpfully offers as he pulls his coat tighter. He wasn't particularly precious, but the heating is quietly missed. Although he can handle a variety of extreme situations it doesn't mean he doesn't find simple pleasure in comforts like warmth on a freezing night.

jacob received an ask : "I want you to teach me how to use a sword."

Jacob  lifted  his  head,  pausing,  sharpening  his  sword  in  mid-swipe.  A  princess  wanted  to  learn  the  art  of  fencing?  It  wasn't  entirely  unheard  of,  but  for  him,  it  was  rather  comical.  "They  say  if  a  lady...  or  a  princess  were  to  hold  a  sword,  they  would  burst  into  flames  instantly,"  he  said  with  a  smirk.  But  those  were  old  wives'  tales.  And  Jacob  was  anything  but  a  fool.  Well,  maybe  a  bit.  "I  can  teach  you.  But  it'll  take  hard  work.  And  maybe  a  broken  nail  or  two."

You should ask questions about Claire.

Take her outside to touch grass.

No, literally.

Claire is most at peace in the great outdoors, as unplugged as she can be. If she has a holiday she wants to spend it somewhere tucked in nature, bonus points if there's friendly wildlife around.

nicholas received an ask : "I need to get some air, I need a change of scene."

His  hazel  eyes  slowly  went  to  Alena.  The  club  was  overcrowded  even  for  his  taste.  Too  loud,  too  many  people  gyrating  against  each  other—  left  him  feeling  the  need  to  worm  his  way  out.  Blinking  as  the  flashing  lights  beamed  their  way  into  his  eyes,  Nicholas  nodded  and  grabbed  her  hand.  He  led  the  way,  circling  some  couples  who  refused  to  move  or  pushing  a  woman  gently  who  tried  to  fling  her  arms  around  him.  Nick  could  feel  his  heart  start  to  race.  Was  his  once  security  blanket  becoming  too  overwhelming  for  him?  Once  they  crossed  the  threshold,  he  let  out  a  much-needed  breath.  "Back  to  the  hotel?"  he  asked  as  he  glanced  over  to  his  girlfriend.

theo's favourite hobbies include: reading, drawing/painting (even though he isn't very good at it haha), listening to music, playing piano and cuddling his cats !!

He hears the sing of the blade dragging incorrectly over the whetstone long before it jumps and smacks against the tip of his thumb. A small hiss of noise escapes his clenched teeth, but he masks it quite easily by turning in his seat, pretending that he had simply finished and shifted to set aside his work.

"I don't know if that's true."

He stares at the cluttered workbench, trying to recall where he'd shoved the first aid kit earlier without making his intentions too obvious. Something warm and sticky collects between his fingers, and he looks down to see that a small amount of blood has smeared across his skin.

He can't remember why she'd approached him in the first place. Only that she kept asking him questions, and he'd answered in between working. Feeling the exchange pass over him as readily as a warm breeze.

"You don't have anyone else to compare me to right now."
