Moth

“What sort of lessons will there be, do you think?” Moth asked.

Ellis opened his mouth to answer. Before he could, the dining hall hushed.

Headmaster Howell himself stood at the front of the room, about to say a few words. He had just gotten up from his place next to the professors, whe…[Read more]

Moth

Moth’s voice faded. He rocked his knee back and forth, face partially hidden behind it. “That’s what I’ve been told. This is a thing both good and bad.”

He idly kicked his foot back and forth. “Have you… been here long? What do you think of it? That’s what you asked me, so I’m just going to ask it back.”

@koshka

Awwww, I love this kid. Not entirely sure what this all means but I love him anyway.

XD Thanks. The quick explanation is that the twin protagonists of my WIP bond with him, and make him their honorary third brother.

Poor Lois. He might regret taking that seat XD

@loopylin

Moth

“I have two human brothers.” Soft pride seeped into his voice. “They were the first people I ever met, after they got lost in faerie land. That was before I knew about this place. It is a long story.”

Imagine if Ari lost his cool and actually punched him

@loopylin

Moth

“Lucien… Jack Celby. I’ll remember. I can address them in passing. They will try to remember if they’ve met me before, same as you wondered.”

Laugh lines framed Moth’s eyes. They were the only sign – outside of what he said – proving he was being playful.

“You are lucky to have your brother with you,” he added.

@loopylin

Moth

“Not many,” Moth admitted. “I arrived last night. I met Lois Thorne first. Flax was there, too. Then I met Ari not long before retiring for the night.”

Three new acquaintances felt like a lot, but in the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t.

He pulled his feet up onto his seat, folded his hands together, and propped them on his…[Read more]

Moth

“Yes. I was just thinking, I’ve never seen so many people before. It’s wonderful. I… might try to learn everyone’s names. Don’t you think that would be good? Everyone likes to be known by name.”

@elishavet-pidyon

Yeesss. These boys all have high expectations for themselves, but they’re also a little socially challenged. And I love that. XD

@loopylin

Moth

“Does your head hurt because of that mark?” Moth asked, before realizing it might be a rude question.

After breakfast, Moth will probably walk over to say hi to both of them. That way, Ari realizes he doesn’t have to be quite such a grump, and Lois is actually a cool person

@loopylin @koshka

Oh wow, I forgot. There really are a lot of ways to say it. Maybe I should make a joke about it in my writing project and spell the word differently every time I write it.

Probably won’t, but the MCs would at least joke about it.

Lois lifted his hand, about to wave back to Moth, when he realized he was making eye contact with…

I also made this

@loopylin

I like how you can just spell the word fairy pretty much however you want in the English language. It’s just whatever fits the vibes.

Fairy

Fairie

Faerie

Uh… I’ve never heard of Faery but it should be an option

@koshka

This is actually so accurate I’m almost crying. XD

I am pleased to hear I captured his character so perfectly &#x1f92…[Read more]

@loopylin

I’m laughing at Ellis’ expense. XD Poor guy, getting lots of headaches is the worst.

Moth

Moth’s eyes crinkled a little, hinting at a smile. He spoke quietly. “It’s not too obvious. Would you like me to find a cold washcloth for you?”

He didn’t know much about headaches, but something cool on the forehead might help.

@loopylin

Moth

“Mhm. You can call me Moth. That’s not my real name, and I’m a faerie, not really a moth at all, but… I am rapidly digressing. Do you feel alright?”

@loopylin

Moth

“If you say so.” Moth bowed his head and pressed his hand to his chest. “I am the Moth Prince. Son desiderium, child of nobody. It is nice to meet you, Ellis.”

@loopylin

That’s a good question

Probably a little more than the students would be comfortable with. Not like, super classified information, but certainly information about their family, royal conflicts, a little about how they were raised, and probably predictions about what they will accomplish in the future.

But you can decide what you w…[Read more]
