........Zhaohui wants to ask to leave. Zhaohui /should/ behave, but he doesn't want to
"By all means then; feel free to leave! You'll be loathe to see me lift a finger to stop you." They know exactly what he meant, and yet they're still sat in the same knees-crossed position that they had been before Zhaohui had spoken. To add insult to injury, they even go so far as to lift one hand and make a shooing motion at the dragon. If he wasn't going to at least be cordial, then why in all the realms, should they?
"Though, I suppose I should at least give you some modicum of praise for having learned enough manners to actually ask, as opposed to demanding as you usually do, hmm? Good boy, Zhaohui."

Eleare, what are your thoughts on Zhaohui and him hanging around Aro?
@arcxnumvitae | Relationships | Accepting!
"I don't like it; simple as that. Perhaps he's gotten better about how he treats Aro these days, but that doesn't do much to change my stance."
"I've told the kit that if he keeps hanging around his little dragon friend, that he's going to end up hurt. Badly. And that's the last thing that he needs, is to get content, and trusting, and possessive. To lean on Zhaohui, and find that-- as far as he noticed-- the rug is suddenly pulled out from under his feet, with no warning at all."
"That dragon is going to snap one day. And I don't want whatever has been boiling under the surface to explode on Aro. If it's not directed at him, then I don't want Aro to be the only thing that can hold it back, because if he fails, who is he going to blame for whatever happens to Zhaohui after that? Himself. He's not the type that gets over that kind of thing easily. He carries everything with him-- he's been like that ever since I've known him."
"That worn old blade. The chrysanthemum tattoo. The apothecary bag. The splintering of scorched wood. The broken sea glass bracelet. Even the power he sealed off and turned into his God Seal."
"He says he keeps all of those things because he needs to remember. When really, he just won't allow himself to let go and stop making himself suffer for things that happened ages ago, now. He needs to learn to move on, and that's not going to happen if he continues to find more things that he thinks he needs to blame himself for."
"I got a bit off topic, yes, but that's why I don't like him being around Zhaohui. Why I likely never will. I don't want him to become another thing that Darrow turns against himself."
"I don't want Zhaohui to, even unknowingly, become the thing that breaks him."
"...And yet, I just know that stubborn, bleeding heart of a kit would probably say that, whatever happened, he wouldn't regret that stupid dragon. I don't know why they seem to be so stuck on each other..."
#[Eleare -threads-]#because they understand each other or something like that#though Eleare would 100% scoff if someone told them that#They're in that jaded boat of 'Everyone thinks that they understand someone else.'#'And then all of a sudden there's some big tragedy and they realize that they never actually understood the other person at all.'#'Not in a way that could make a difference.'#as you can tell some of their issue is being protective over Aro#and some of it is that their own experiences are heavily coloring their perception of Zhaohui and Aro as well

Eleare, do you know how Aro got Corrupted?
"A few different sources I spoke to said that he was protecting someone when it happened, which doesn't surprise me in the least. The stubborn little kit has next to no sense of self-preservation when it comes to those he cares for. Considering the fact that it happened in the Mortal Realm...well, that leaves a fairly small handful of people it could be. The ones I know well would have contacted me when it happened, which narrows the list even further..."
"I have my opinion on who the person that supposedly needed the protection in the first place is, of course. Prior to this, it seems to me like Aro was with him rather constantly, so even if it wasn't, I don't doubt that the ill-mannered lizard was, at the very least, present for the whole fiasco."
"...Ultimately, the how of it doesn't matter so much to me, at the moment. I can be angry about all of that once Aro is better again...that's where my concern lies."
#[Eleare -threads-]#Right now Eleare is actually too worried about Aro to really think too much about Zhaohui#Though if they were to run into him they would (unsurprisingly) be very '/what did you do?/' about it

The invitation envelope is sealed with blue wax, the outline of the Meriet royal seal carefully pressed into the the center. The invitation itself consists of a single letter that reads:
❝The kingdom of Meriburn cordially invites you to join them in celebrating the Festival of the Blue Moon.
We humbly look forward to your presence in ushering in a new lunar season that is set to begin on at . We advise that you dress in light, airy clothing and have footwear that will not be damaged by any amount of water. We also advise that you arrive by sunset on the first day of the festivities in order to fully experience the welcoming ceremony.❞
Along the bottom of the letter, the words “Please dip in water and turn over.” is written in neat lettering along the bottom of the invitation card. Once done, the rest of the letter continues as follows:
❝An additional, private gathering will be held at the Aichon Palace throughout the entire event. Overnight accommodations will be provided to all guests with this invitation. We advise you keep it in a safe place, to bring it with you on your travels, and to present it to castle staff upon arrival.
Your host,
Princess Cassandra Tetrarch of Meriburn❞
(for those that are attending the Meriburn party!)
@sansloii
"It looks like she was able to get it approved, after all!" Ezra's face is lit up as he looks over the invitation. Reading it once, then again, before looking to his father and Evan with a grin. "Last year when I went to the festivities, it was amazing, but if this celebration is going to be as big as it sounds, then I'm sure it'll be even better. You'll both be able to make it, right? She'd be really happy to see you both!"
Of course, he knew that having all three of them away from Exulan at once was a bit risky, but...when was the last time they were all able to enjoy a festival together that wasn't in their own kingdom? That wasn't something that they had to organize and upkeep throughout the duration of the events?
"We don't all have to stay the entire time, but...I think it would be nice."
- - - - - -
"We're going to Meriburn...? Why?"
"Alsina is busy with her research, so Sivel asked if I'd like to accompany him. I'd rather not leave you three behind."
The three knew that tone. Baphomet thought that they might find Nesa there...and if that was the case, he wouldn't have to hesitate on taking them back home again. Not to mention that he was worried after the four of them...ever since the Aegis, their parent had barely let any of them out of his sight.
Admittedly, none of them seemed all that excited about the celebration, but...
"I'll go. Some of our friends will probably be there too, yeah? It'll be a nice change of pace."
- - - - - -
"...Are you completely certain that you don't mind watching them, Antale? I was at Vanystea's party; Raelin and Thelrin are perfectly capable of attending this celebration in my stead--"
"They're mine too, Lea...you say that as though I shouldn't have to watch after them-- just like you've done every day that I've been gone, in Ahnia"
Gone working. Eleare didn't even have to say it. The look that they gave Antale said it all for them. Though really, most of this was just for show. It had nothing to do with the kids. Nothing to do with "inconveniencing" Antale...
Going to Meriburn meant that they were guaranteed to at least run into Roderick's youngest son...if not Roderick himself. Something that Antale surely knew already, as well.
Ugh, and he was giving them that look. Apparently, they'd have to go looking for some more appropriate attire...dammit all.

@sansloii replied to your post:
I'm sorry, Roderick sees Eleare and it's taking all of his self control not to just pick them up and haul them off
They had been talking to Antale and their elder two children when Eleare catches a familiar scent in the air. Even after years and years, the recognition still had their ears pricking upwards immediately. Their pupils dilating, and their posture straightening as they looked around for the source.
When they first lay eyes on Roderick, he has his back turned to them...but the sight is still enough to have their breath catch in their throat.
Oh, how badly they want to run to him. To call for him, reach for him, anything to have his attention on them. As embarrassing as it was, it seemed that time had only served to further stoke their longing and affections toward the feared and illustrious dragon king.
"Eleare..."
There's a large, warm hand on their shoulder-- Antale's-- and they look up at him with a barely there whine. Eyes pleading as if to ask for permission that they didn't dare to grant themself.
"I know...I know. But you've made it this long, haven't you? You'll never forgive yourself if you give in now. C'mon, let's go check on the kits..."
It's begrudging, but they eventually give a small nod. The twins had since noticed Roderick and gone to say hello, and Eleare can't help but be a bit jealous that they're able to approach him so freely. They think to call them back-- unsure of how it might look if their children were around Roderick even if they weren't-- but they stop themself.
One last look is given at the dragon king, before the fox reluctantly turns away...only just missing Roderick's gaze as he noticed them, in turn.

Zhaohui is growling. I can just picture his hair doing the Ghibli hair raise thing
"You're growling at me, but aren't you the one that started it in the first place? I was perfectly content to leave you alone-- I still am, in fact, so long as you cease your senseless goading."

Royal au!Yori is there to playfully smooch Eleare's cheek before nuzzling close, specifically to bug them a little
"Ugh, gross-- I don't know where you've been with that mouth of yours." Despite the response though, there's a sort of fondness to their tone that makes their words feel lighter. Warmer, despite the words themselves.
"...You've been coming home more often, lately. Did something happen with Tahariel?"

"Oh, Eleare. I guess even a god isn't much of a threat when they don't have their seal, huh? That was almost pathetic."
The fox in question let out a shaky laugh from where he was slumped against a wall. Their hair was matted to their face with blood from the split, bruised skin of their cheek, but they made no move to sweep it away. Instead, golden eyes fixed on that of the woman's before them-- full of malice and defiance.
"...Don't delude yourself, Sahariel. I allow you to throw me around a bit, and you let it go right to your head...funny how, swollen as it is, there isn't a lick of sense in there. It really must be all ego up there. I shouldn't have expected much different from some washed up failure of a Watcher. By all means, keep sneering at me, and we'll see who bests who in the end. At the very least, I know better than to believe I could gain anything from someone that would collar me. I would have thought you'd learned that already with dear old Iryin...but I guess that's overestimating you a b--!!"
They would say more, but Sahrin is too quick for that-- the top of her foot connected with their jaw, and sent them to the ground in a heap. The various injuries across their body protesting heavily as they move to push themselves to their hands and knees.
Not a sound leaves them when her blade meets their skin again, save for maybe a hitch of breath here and there. Not the first time. Nor the fifth. The rest of the time that she spends, making sure that Alfheim's Inari can't get up again is devoid of any words. The sound of impacts against flesh, and the splattering of blood lending an almost eerie air to the room.
Rage boiled down to their bones, but they couldn't do anything about it. Bardyn, or his benefactor-- whichever one currently held his God Seal-- had given Eleare the order to accept their punishment, and not act against it in any way. Even pushing themself up before had proved far more of a struggle than it should have, even in their condition.
...And so, they lay there, and took what was likely only the first part of this gruesome affair. Swallowing down any rebellion and holding tight to it, to be used for later. For the revenge that they would take when they were free.
"They'll be arriving shortly. Let's hope, for your sake, that they haven't changed their minds about not killing you. Why don't you just rest awhile, pet?"
They can't help but bare their fangs and growl-- even as weak a display as it currently was. Selfish, psychotic bitch. She had best hope that her little plan to get the Vasyri king's protection worked in her favor, because as soon as they were free, they were returning this gift of hers a hundredfold. They didn't deal in evens.
Eleare just hoped that Aro or Niesal would find them sooner, rather than later...or that revenge of theirs might be a long time coming.

…… 🥺…. *offers a Lily*?
"The answer is still no. Did your parents never teach you that it's rude to touch people that you're unacquainted with? Let alone without asking permission? Which, while we're on the subject, where are your parents, hmm? You seem entirely too young to be wandering about without some sort of chaperone attending to you."

@sansloii replied to your post:
Regular verse Roderick would pet them (but only in fox form).... but Royal AU!Roderick immediately wants to make Eleare his
Roderick is one of the only people that regular verse Eleare would allow to do so, in the first place. The way they melt under his affections is for he and he alone to see-- be it in this form, or in their god form...should there ever come a day that they're able to face him in it, once more.
And in the royal verse, Roderick has already done everything necessary to make Eleare his. Perhaps the years haven't been kind enough to safely return them to each other yet, but Eleare has never once doubted that they belong to one man. Just as much as they believe that Roderick is theirs, Eleare knows that they, similarly, belong to him.

@fatestouch replied to your post:
also Yori’s tails just wagging as he waves at Eleare and Aro
"Yori's home!" Aro practically pounces on the other fox, teeth showing in the mix of a grin and a playful growl-- his tails wagging back and forth a mile a minute. It's his mischief buddy!
"Oho? Would you look at that. With how sparingly he comes around here lately, I'd almost started to think he'd gone and met his match." They're joking-- they know exactly where Yori has been. They're not exactly pleased about it, but they've long since given up on trying to convince him away from Tahariel...really, they're just relieved to see he's alright, after everything that supposedly happened in Vanystea after the Aifaen left.
Bouncing and hopping after Aro so they could see Yori, was Eleare's three youngest children. They still had a difficult time shifting on their own, which left them in beast form most of the time-- yipping balls of red and black fur, and seemingly endless energy.

“Pack Leader Darrow,” the courtier bowed low before presenting an ornate ring made of silver and obsidian. “A token of good luck for your upcoming duel, sent with regards by the prince of Zhongyang.” The courier inclined his head towards where the sender of the gift stood atop a balcony overlooking the rest of the party. The prince’s eyes glimmered wickedly when they met the Aro’s, yet he turned to continue his conversation with another noble present the very next moment.
@arcxnumvitae
As Darrow takes the trinket from courtier, his ears prick upwards, and his tails sway in satisfaction. It was a pretty little thing, wasn't it? The dark jewel that was set into the band only serving to make the silver appear all the brighter.
"Like a little eclipse." Eleare commented as they approached to have a look; having echoed Aro's thoughts on it exactly. "Someone sent it to you? How cute."
"This lovely gentleman says that it's meant to be a good luck charm, for the duels. It's from Zhongyang's prince, apparently...up there."
The fox's head inclines toward the balcony as he points the supposed sender out to Eleare, catching the burning red of the royal's gaze for but a few moments, before it turned away from him again. There was a sort of cold fire to those eyes that Aro couldn't help but recognize in himself, as well.
How interesting...maybe he could have a bit of fun with this haughty-seeming prince.
Beside him, it seemed that Eleare knew exactly what he was thinking. The elder fox quirking a brow at him-- deep red hair swishing as they shook their head with an exasperated sigh.
"Mhmm...well, try not to cause too much trouble, kit. I don't want to clean up another mess of yours when I could be enjoying the party, instead."
"It's just a little innocent flirting; I don't know why you always call it trouble." Aro retorts with a grin, before looking to the courtier again. They both know that flirting isn't at all his main goal. "Please send His Highness my thanks, as well as my regards. The only thing that could have made such a lovely gift any more-so, would be if he had delivered it to me himself. Still, I'll do my best to impress him, so I do hope he'll be keeping a close eye on my performance."
#arcxnumvitae#[Darrow -threads-]#[Eleare -threads-]#[Royalty verse]#Aro: Aww another overconfident lordling wants to play with me. At least this one looks like a challenge.#Meanwhile Eleare doesn't really care#as long as Aro doesn't do anything to get them into any major trouble

@thewolfisawake | Crackship Roulette | No longer accepting!
Eriskyne & Enoch (Concerned. I am concerned. Something tells me that these two would either get along worryingly well, or they would absolutely hate each other with no in between.)
It was easy for Enoch to recognize the way the stranger near him was scanning the crowds. The ease and covertness of their careful surveying had him admittedly impressed...as well as wondering what kind of information they were trying to gather. Instead of asking though, a sort of test. Trying to see how long it would take for the other to sense his gaze on them. Lips curving into a knowing smile when their gazes eventually met.
"There certainly is a good deal to watch at events like these, isn't there? I would even go so far as to say that the people watching is likely to be my favorite part."
Bijou & Tarinx (I feel like this one could be interesting for a few different reasons! Because of where he's from, Tarinx is far more used to people outright picking a fight with him if they want something of his. And while he's cunning, I feel like Bijou, who specializes in stealth and another sort of cunning from his own, it would throw him off quite a bit!)
If it weren't for his empathic abilities, Tarinx wouldn't have even sensed her there. In fact, it wasn't until he felt a certain spark of satisfaction that it became evident that she was actually in the room with him, and not in one of the surrounding ones, instead. And since she seemed to be retreating now...had she perhaps stolen something? The movement of his tail was swift despite it's size; wrapping around an arm to keep her from slipping out from wherever she'd come in.
"Not every day someone has the guts to try sneaking up on me, let alone almost get away with it. And now you're just planning to run off? How is that any fun?"
Jasper & Melchior (Potential mercenary buddies? Though Io isn't really out in the field too often anymore-- he tends to be the one to finalize and divvy up contracts, sell info...that kind of thing.)
"Sorry, if you're here to take your pick from the contracts for the day, you're going to have to wait another twenty, thirty minutes. It's been a real shit show today, so I'm a lil' further behind than usual..." Purple-pink eyes lifted from the screen propped before him on the table, to fix on the newcomer with a curious tilt of his head.
"Actually, I don't recognize you...didn't mean to assume. Can I help you with something?"
Crowe & Eleare (I can say right off the bat that Eleare tends to be pretty standoffish toward other people in espionage...or at least, aside from those that are actively working for them. With Crow being a demigod though-- and half-gorgon at that!-- they might take enough of an interest to push that aside to a point.)
This was the third time that they'd gotten a complaint from one of those working for them, about a strange man that had been staking out the same areas they were. And if it weren't for the fact that this time, said worker was fairly sure they'd been caught by him, Eleare wouldn't have felt that they had to go and look into it for themself. And while they weren't exactly happy about that...at least they had found something interesting.
"If it isn't a little demigod...and you smell like a gorgon, on top of it. How intriguing; it's almost enough to make me forget why I came to get a look at you."
Deianeira & Alsina (...I don't know about this one. Something has Alsi a little bit on edge concerning Deianeira, but I don't know what it is. She's also interested in her though, so????)
"A Sin?" Alsina found herself asking, brows raised in interest. She had heard about them before yes, but actually coming across one was something new. She had been wondering what the strange sensation she felt around the other being had been, and...she supposed that now, she at least knew the reasoning behind it.
"I have to admit, I hadn't expected to run into one of your ilk in the mortal realm...though I suppose I should have known better. Mortals likely make better targets for you than other demons, and such. Or is it more a matter of personal preference?"
#thewolfisawake#[Enoch -threads-]#[Tarinx -threads-]#[Alsina -threads-]#[Io -threads-]#[Eleare -threads-]#Honestly if Eno and Eriskyne ended up getting along#Eno has BIG dirt on pretty much everyone that they're supposed to be/wanting to look into#and as long as they're willing to trade some info of their own Eno will most likely give it to them#that's the main reason for my concern!#And then I was laughing about Bijou and Arin#I wanted to let her actually get away with stealing something from him outright#and then I remembered his empathic powers orz
