“Are you in competition for your kingdom’s throne?”

The fact that Ellis says this does not fly past me

Moth

“Why would they hurt you?” Moth asked. He kept his eyes trained on Ari’s, refusing to miss any hints of emotion on the boy’s face.

Bryce

Bryce’s eyebrows raised and he stared at Jack. Obviously this kid could see, but how could he be observant with his hair over his eyes? He let out a short laugh. “I have everything in my pocket,” Bryce told him casually. “I have snacks, random items, and bear spray, for some reason. And some pencils, probably.”

@loopylin @whalekeeper

Ari

In competition? That seemed to light a word.

“Me? No.” He looked down as he pulled off the padded sparring gloves. “My father has four sons older than my brother and me. And besides, what with his brothers gone, there’s plenty of land and titles to go round.”

Don’t be an idiot. He slapped the gloves against the…[Read more]

*flashbacks to growing up with a diabetic brother* You put those batteries back right now, child.

(is it his pump or his cgm?)

Hehe. My little brother is also a diabetic.

(It’s his pump beeping.)

Ari

His attention snapped back to Moth.

“Just…wondering. Family traits tend to run strong with us.” Black hair, dark eyes, murder. Yes, family traits.

@koshka @loopylin

Moth

Ari barely sounded intimidated. The prospect of another adventure must appeal to him. But if Ellis was right – and he must be – it was not right for Ari to get in trouble alone. His mysterious visitor might be harmless, but they might as easily be evil.

“Why do you wish to know if this intruder will look like you?” Mot…[Read more]

Moth

“You’ll teach me archery now?”

@whalekeeper @loopylin

Ari

Moth would be keeping watch as well. But what exactly did a fairy mean by watching?

It didn’t make much of a difference. Ari pushed away from the table.

“If you like. I was going to head to the archery targets once I was done here…” His voice trailed off as his gaze turned to wards where Jasper was still gadding…[Read more]

Moth

Moth listened to their exchange quietly, not interjecting until the end. “I will also keep watch in your room tonight then, Ari.”

@loopylin @whalekeeper

Ari

He nodded. He wasn’t sure what a mood was or why it would be damapened, but he had heard about visions. Just none within the last two centuries.

Brother’s or no, tonight was going to be an… adventure. If this kid was telling the truth.

“Good, good.” His spreading smile kindled the light in his eyes. “Finally…[Read more]

O_O

Ari

He absently ran the end of his tongue over the seaping cut in his lip.

“Thoughtful of you to tell me.” This could be interesting. “You saw this? Where, and what exactly did you see?”

His bedchamber. Well, perhaps he might just have to stage an ambush of his own. Anticipation pooled in his stomach.

Who would try…[Read more]

@loopylin

The boys entered the library. Bryce’s mouth fell agape for a moment upon seeing the vast room, filled with rows upon rows of books.

Approaching a shelf, he pulled the spine of an old, dusty history book out of its slot. Bryce let the book fall into his hands, then he squinted the cover. Every word was in some foreign l…[Read more]

Y’all I just got out of class and there’s a weather front coming in that just made the temperature outside drop to 78° and cloudy. This is beautiful.

Ari

Stillness crept down his spine. He watched Moth’s friend, wary. I need to warn you. Even his own patchy social record said those weren’t the usual first words out of s…[Read more]

@koshka @elishavet-pidyon

I just remembered you guys posted some of your character playlists (Ari and Wilhelm) and I haven’t listened to them yet. I forget where to find them and I figured you guys wouldn’t mind reposting them here?

@loopylin This is also your opportunity to send me more stuff

@koshka @loopylin

Moth

“Ari, this is Ellis. Ellis, Ari.”

@loopylin @beth-torres

I like the detail in that chart of Bryce talking to himself, because he really does “talk to himself”

@whalekeeper @loopylin

Ari

“Ah, right.”

He leaned against the weapon table and folded his arms. After a moment of studying the fuzzy golden fairy, he looked over at the boy beside Moth.

“And I thought humans were strange.”

@loopylin

Poor Remi. He’s a magnet for trouble.

Or maybe a generator.

@koshka @loopylin

🫡 Will attempt it

Moth

“What makes you think I shouldn’t be?” Moth held the pose and stared up at Ari. One antenna twitched.
