Nahale: -*draws to a halt beside Mensa and nuzzles at her ear*- I believe I overheard you speaking about me? Are you throwing everyone else out?
Mensa: Squeaks Ok now everyone can't hang out. Only Naha~
Naha: -rumbles- Is that a flirtation, My Lady?
Caelum: -squawks and covers his eyes-
Mensa: Only if Caelum didn't hear that. Tilts her head. Oops~ He did. -giggle-
Caelum: I feel like I've been captured and am being held as some trophy husband...
Circi: We're not in Kansas anymore.
Cae: -noble boyo too soft for this world out without supervision because he needs to find his sister-
Circinus, his LadyBodyguard: Look at that idiot out wandering into danger OH NO WAIT THAT'S MY IDIOT
Circi:Oh s**t he gonna get mugged. Idiot -she is one of the guards who's been a knight with Thel-
Her: This entire family I swear
Thel: -*SO HAPPY TO SEE HER*-
(she's not gonna be as happy because now there's 2 idiots she feels moderately responsible for 😂)
Thel: don't worry I got married! She keeps me from dying! 8D
Circi: Oh, so you finally figured out she was a woman... and not Locke.
Thel: HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT! D8!
Telu: Your shame must be told to all.
Cae: -nods solemnly- We definitely haven't been gossiping about it... But it might have gotten around?
Circi: I was there, actually.
Cae: -quietly despairing at his friends and family, sighs-
Thel: WHAT?
Telu: -*reflexive wince and closes her eyes*-
Caelum: Thel, we hold you in the highest regard and affection but, sometimes, buddy? You make bad decisions...
Circi: -*sighs softly*-
----
Fae: He didn't flip to the next page. Wizards. They only read what's on the same page. They never seem to flip it.
Fae standing up like "What was THAT about?"
Arcane: -*lays his ears back and pointedly noses in the book where it says*- Do the Fae--
Fae: -*Shoulders him aside and flips the page.*- This is old lore Arcane. You have to flip the page.
Arcane: That's boring.
Irina walks by Fae as she is visiting
Irina: Ah. He didn't flip the page.
Caelum: -*standing in a corner metaphorically taking extensive notes*-
Irina: In my defense, I too learned that lesson the... fun way.
Cae: -staring at everyone and picks up a pen with his mouth, begins frantically scribbling- !?!?!
Circi: Looks at Cae like as if she's wondering why he's writing notes about getting with someone. Considering who she gets to kill.
Fae: Squints between Circi and Cae. Oh I see.
(I think Circi may have a bit of the hots for Brass that won't go anywhere. Maybe that gets Caelum's cogs thinking)
Brass: -looks up from his workstation- Someone thinks I'm hot?
Copper: Statistically, it was bound to happen.
Circi: Pulls at her tassels on her sword's hilt.
Bosede: Oh my~. Is Brass going to be a homewrecker?
Ruth: Covers her mouth and nods along with Copper.
James: Looks at Caelum and then to Brass and hums.
Brass: -meanders over to Circi- Little Blade, are you off to murder someone?
Copper: -wearily- Statistically... -sighs- well, you get it. Forgive him, he knows not what he does.
Caelum: -looks up from his note taking and blinks with a muffled- What?
Circi: Looks up at Brass as he approaches her. A line of blush dazzling with stars goes across her cheeks and nosebridge. I'm only supposed to kill those who try to kill me or Caelum. Gesturing towards the one taking notes.
Ruth: Shrugs smoothly and gives a gesture to Brass. I'm aware of the fact we're the smarter two of this group. Looking at Caelum and blinking.
Bosede: Leans towards Caelum. You know what they say about Compasses.. They'll navigate towards things that pull one another. Gestures between Brass and Circi and joins her finger tips together as Brass approaches Circi. Ding! Attracted.
---
Circi: -*glaring at a lady at the Faire*- Rude. Don't touch my husband.
Cae: O.o Circi you don't even do this to me. What is wrong with them?
Circi: -Shakes her head and leans back, regarding them with disappointment.- Someone needs to be schooled in yandere.
Cae: I'll get the lantern, do you have your shadow puppet show ready?
Circi: -*pulls out a handy box*- Right here...
------
Eru: He fell in love with you when you were TEN? Oh ... Cae would love you. -metaphorically at- So cuuute and pretty... You could tell me everything.
Cae: If she hears you talking like that she'll throw me around the training room
so please be quiet, Eru.
Eru: But you're my 'sad puppy fell in love so young' story.
Circi: ...I am right here
Cae: I think I'm your only sad puppy fell in love so young story. -squints at him then smiles innocently at Circi- You're as stunning as ever?
Eru: He remains ridiculous. He and Thel have that in common.
Circi: Ok star boy.. whatever you say. -screaming inwardly. But no one can see it-
Silk: I see all
Telu: If Thel could find his way out of the fountain to be in here I'm sure he'd have something to say about that.
Eru: You cannot talk such mad s**t about your twin.
Telu: I can, and I did...
Cae: -looks out the window- Technically it's not talking s**t if it's true.
Telu: I can't bring myself to look, I'll just want to throw myself out.
Keo: Did he run away from me?
She found out
mad
Circi: If I didn't like your man, Telu I'd ask if you'd want to go and run away with me.. -Eyerolls-
Haakon: Oh I am liked biggrin ?
Telu: That's very sweet of you, but I do like him. Most days I like Cae too, he's not quite as dumb as Thel, but they have their strong points.
Eru: -shakes his head- I'll run away with Haakon, if you two keep being terrifying and dangerous.
Telu: I didn't do anything?
Eru: That doesn't work on the intelligent men in this family.. It would only fool Dad.
Haakon: I have so many fans.. -Leans his head on Telu's fondly and hums, holding her around the waist with his arm-.
Keo: Where did Thel go?
Haakon: -Shrugs shoulder joint at Keo-
Circi: I do admit I like Caelum better than Thel.
Keo: -Gasps-
Circi: -Cough-
Thel: -clueless blink-
Telu: -sighs in despair-
Circi: My storyline is.. That Idiot is sadly my Lover..
Cae: How is the prettiest warrior in all the Courts?
Telu: At least he knows how to talk to her.
Keo: Thel is just Idiot Lover and I love that for him.
Circi: -Blinks at him slowly-.. Not sure, the last I saw StarFighter he was with Brenna.
Keo: I appreciate his bisexuality. It's the best spouse to have when you have to mask your gender.
Cae: -barks a laugh-
Telu: That does make sense, yes.
Circi's a brat but she'd probably melt if Cae just like took her and made out with her. Let's be fair.
Cae: If I thought I could get away with it and not lose my liver in the process....
Circi in: My three feelings about Caelum.. He's a healer (useful), he can cook and he's not hard on the eyes.
(Circi has stars that try to jump ship cause her genetics are partially made up of Tree Nymph)
Circi: and he's an idiot (affectionate).
(Also Circi... can't get away from Caelum cause her inner compass is HELLA good at finding directions but they generally lead to Caelum if they're apart.)
Circi: I'M ANGRY. I'M GOING FOR A WALK. -Walks back to Cae-. Damn it.
Keo: I hope you're not talking about me in comparison! I love spending time with you. Especially when we put each other through mattresses.
Circi: -Munches on food sitting across from Cae and then pauses. Eyes looking up at him mid-bite-..
Thel: I mean, I love that too? But we didn't start out like that... a lot of the early days was dazzled staring. -shrugs-
Cae: -gives Circi a grin and nudges another plate of things toward her hopefully-
Keo: Was that dazed? I thought you were just wondering why I never joined you guys for bath time.
Circi: -Swallows her bite and looks up at him slowly from the pushed forward plate.- Did you make that?
Haakon: He made all of the dishes.
Circi: -Sparkles a little and takes the food and pops it in her mouth-
Thel: -pouts at her playfully- Dazzled, Oh Swordmaiden of My Heart.. But perhaps a little sulky you never tagged along for a bath.
Cae: Ah -sulks a bit at Haakon throwing him under the metaphorical caravan before nodding- I did, yes... I hope you'll let me know what you think of them?
Telu: Feeding us does help.
Keo: -Giggles and feeds him some yummy food~- Ahh.. Ok. Ok. I give in. Dazzled~. I did get to see a lot of you otherwise. -Leans into Thel- Maybe we should take a bath after this together to make up for it. Maybe wrestle a little bit.
Haakon: -Chuckles under his breath at Cae and shakes his head at the two couples around him and Telu.-
Circi: -Taking more to munch she is caught a little off guard.- Have I never complimented your cooking before, Cae?
Haakon: -Gives a: It's coming! It's here! look at Telu and leans in-
Circi: -Thinking about all the times she has only eaten the dishes Cae prepared-. I only eat the food you cook. Besides. I could never do any better. It's good though, I can taste the improvements you made this time.
Cae: Is this how I get my role of house husband? If she only eats what I cook one of us is moving in and I'm cooking three meals and snacks every day let's do this
Circi: I've lived with you since I was five..
Circi: But sure. You can be the house husband.
Cae: Ok we're moving away from my toxic family because I hate most of the ones here and all the cool siblings ran off to join the circus faire so... Permanent residents there, and I cook. You said I could be the househusband so no take backs
Circi: I have nowhere else to be. -Shrugs calmly-. So I'll join you. Mmmh... Wait does that mean I have to bring in money?
Cae: ... no I really do have us covered.
Telu: Marry a Prince, I said. It'll be fun, I said. Did she think I was joking?
Thel: Be quiet I want to hear how this goes.
Circi: Well.. What do you want me to do then? From what I know there won't be many people I have to fight and kill for you. And living down there is different from living up here.
Cae: Whatever you want? If you want me to go out and find someone to take a dislike to me so you have someone to fight, fine. If you want to work with Thel and the others in the fights and training, by all means... If you want to take up knitting? Whatever
Circi: -Actually blinks- ...Whatever.. I want. -Looks perplexed and confused.- Alright. -Leaning her head to the side-. Mmh. I feel like I'd end up stabbing someone with the knitting needles.... -Circi offers with a wavering smile as she tries, Humour-
