Bloodline swap Kivolo and Joster perhaps…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Joster Ofidis cares about 1 thing and 1 thing only (books), and Kivolo Caeron might be Julikas dream man (Kivolo but normal) /j

❄️ for Kivolo but if I may.... I'd like to hear straight from the horse's mouth :)c
How you feelin', buddy?
> You somehow manage to catch Kivolo, for the first time since the ball started, without his apparent date, having left her in the company of his first mate, who had (in a rare acknowledgement of fleet expectations) also decided to attend. He's practically aglow with excitement, a giddy smile on his face as he's ordering beverages for two at the bar. Non-alcoholic, of course. He doesn't usually drink at such events. A man of his size could make a mess of things if he found he suddenly couldn't hold his cups.
> He notices you and turns his toothy smile to you, now.
"Oh! my friend, it's been a while! I'm well! I'm having a lot of fun. Not that I don't usually, at these sort of events, but..."
> He laughs sheepishly, you've caught him on an off foot.
"My friend agreed to accompany me this evening, we've even managed to coordinate to be properly on theme! And more to the point, she seems to be... actually enjoying herself, too."
> The outfit, you'll note, is as ostentatious as the theme would have it. He is properly dressed for a venetian carnivale, his brightly patterned suit opulently embroidered and set with jewels, and he carries a porcelain halfmask to match, half a set of the Masks of Theatre: Tragedy, in his case.
> He looks across the way to see that Julika is still happily engrossed in conversation, the tip of his tail twitching in anticipation of returning to it himself.
"We've even danced a couple times. It's been good. I'm glad I decided to ask her to join me."
> He smiles softly at her from afar. He's got it so bad, but at least he's being normal about it right now.

Also Kivolo your model there looks really nice- How long did that one take you? :0
Also, how long do they usually take to make? Seems like a lot of work!
> He looks down at it and smiles, and then turns his attention back to you.
Thank you very much. This is a Estera-A16, one of my favs. Took me a total of.... 6 hours, spaced over the course of the last week.
> He scratches his nose, and twitches a fin.
How long they take depends on the size of complexity of the model in question, but I usually stick to larger projects. This one was a gift though.

insomnia for kivolo!!
-> Late mornings were never an uncommon thing for you, even since you were very, very young. There was always so much left to do, left to think about, that going straight to bed as the moon started to set felt so……….. pointless to you. A waste of time.
Your fleet appointed physician, of course, disagrees strongly with your point of view. But that isn't going to stop you from stalking the halls of your ship during the sleeping hours. It was silly to keep such a strict sleeping schedule out here anyway, in your opinion. It wasn't as if there was a day/night cycle out here in the black of space.
But at least, it gave you more time to think by yourself. Time to exist in the vessel you call your home, unbothered by the needs of your crew, with the requirements of duty. No uniform delineating your apparent superiority to others, no need to keep your appearance in perfect order, every hair in your braid perfectly in place.
So if anyone made the mistake of peeking out of their quarters and saw you with your hair down, your clothes casual and rumpled, well that was their problem, not yours.
You like the dark of the halls, the way the glow of your fins reflects dully off of the door frames and beams. Like swimming through deep water, almost, only the sound of your feet on the floor, the swish of your tail. Occasionally, you can hear snoring as you pass by certain doors, grounding you back to the halls of your ship.
You could wander like this for hours and hours unhindered if someone let you, fingers skimming the beams and doors as you pass, one arm outstretched. It's a childlike wonder, almost.
At last you come to a familiar door. One that had, perhaps, been slammed in your face earlier after you'd yet again failed to come up with an adequate excuse for further monopolizing someone's time. You did, actually, feel a little guilty. Not enough to stop, perhaps. But enough to know it's presence nagging at the back of your mind.
She doesn't like you. Or. Most of the time, she doesn't. Sometimes you catch her smiling from the corner of your eye when you make a particularly stupid remark, and it makes your heart clench tightly in your chest. She really does have a beautiful smile.
Maybe tomorrow you'll think of a reason to get her to stay, something to tell her to make her feel better about her extended time with your vessel.
You didn't mean to come here. And you don't mean to stay, you will not bother her again tonight. You just stand there and stare at the door for a little while, feeling guilty for upsetting her, before continuing on with your haunt of the halls, letting your fingers linger a little on the door as you walk away.
You don't hear the door open behind you, don't see her peek her head around the frame and stare at your back as you walk away, eyebrows furrowed, perplexed by your brief visit to her door.

Oooh A gift? Who from? I bet they'll be happy to see it all finished regardless tho, I know I would be!
Ah, it was a gift from my first mate. They try very hard to make sure I take time to relax, and will often buy me models when they're on world.
> He smiles softly. He's clearly quite fond of his first mate, but it's not the same kind of fondness he has for Julika.

Are you still looking into that rebel that's obsessed with her?
> Volo curls a lip and then heaves a long, heavy sigh.
I am, yes. Taegan is... a condundrum, to be sure, but I think..... I feel confident in saying that they aren't a physical threat to Jules--I'm sorry, Miss Picket.
> He runs a hand down his face, tail twitching.
I have a bit more digging to do still, I think, but... I'm starting to understand the relationship they have on some level.

Hi Kivolo !! Hope you’re doing well!
Can I ask what you think Julika’s most admirable quality (or qualities) are?
> Volo's ears prick up at the mention of Julika's name, and the tip of his tail twitches, a wide smile creeps across his face. Julika's his favorite subject how did you know!!!
Ah!! Hello again!!!
Julika's most admirable qualities? Oh, we'd be here all evening, I'm afraid, and I'd hate to bend your ear too much.
But I'll say that I'm always impressed with her general fearlessness, and willingness to put me in my place when needed.

Can we ask trolls things?
Kivolo, hello. Mind if I ask you something?
> You very much can ask trolls things!! Hi!!!
> Volo looks to at you from his now nearly completed model spacecraft, tail swishing from side to side.
Ah! Hello to you too, stranger.
How can I help?

Volo, anything exciting going on with you?
> Wow!! You've caught him building one of his ship models, a look of total concentration on his face, tail swishing slowly and rhythmically behind him. He looks up when you speak though and smiles broadly. That's his friend!
Oh! Hello, long time no see, my friend! How have you been?
> He glances down at his modelling kit and starts arranging the tools in front of him.
I've not been up to much besides work, I'm afraid. Aside from this, obviously.
Ms. Picket has been planetside for a little while now, or on other ship assignments. It's been a little dull, but I've been keeping up with her works.

I’ve been good! How are you?
Also, uh. Time to get her honest opinion on you? What do you mean?
"Ah, I'm glad. I've been well myself, if a little stressed. Though no more than usual.
A sort of haughty sniff.
"Mm. Julika is..... difficult for me to get a read on, truly can't tell if she likes being around me or is just tolerating my presence because I am... well."
He gestures to himself, being what he is. And then heaves another sigh.. such a disappointment. But then he smiles, sudden and bright.
"But she's been given another assignment aboard my ship, she's to write about our pilots and nav crew. Bit of a 'day in the life' piece, it seems, so she will be around a while yet."
He seems very enthused by this.

Hi Volo!!! Did you see that Miss Picket’s article came out? She had great things to say about you!!!
Although Taegan didn’t…. I mean, calling you an aimless tryhard? Saying your down to earth personality is a cover to pretend you don’t know that you glided into your current position with your blood and your name? Who does she think she is!?
"Ah, Hello again! It's been some time since I last heard from you, have you been well, my friend?"
His ears prick a little at the mention of Julika but he heaves a sigh. Is he... disappointed?
"Ah yes I'm very aware. One of our nav officers was waving it under my nose near as soon as it published."
He drums his fingers on his desk, tail swishing.
"Oh it's a very good puff piece, I'm sure my superiors will like it very much but. It doesn't say anything I wasn't expecting it to. It reads about like every other officer piece she's written so I wouldn't exactly call it a glowing review. Ah well, there's time enough to get her genuine opinion of me I suppose."
He clicks his tongue at the mention of Teagan, however, tail thrashing briefly to the left and right.
"How can someone both be aimless and a tryhard? And besides, if my ancestry had anything to do with my position, there would be a great many more Ofidis descendants in my position don't you think? Absolute nonsense."
He raps his knuckles on his desk and quirks his lips a little, glowing eyes narrowing.
"A bit satisfying though that that's all Teagan could muster up to say about me. It's nothing new nor original in terms of insult. I don't suppose they'll try a little harder next time, do you?"

volo babe, howd the interview go?
He clicks his tongue, sets his pen down on his desk. Oh. Seems perhaps it didn't go as well as he'd have liked.
"I am..... very bad. At answering questions about myself, it turns out. But! It's just as well, she's asked to stick around for a few days to shadow me, get a feel for my life as it is, I suppose without worry that I'd lie or try to make myself out better than I am."

well im glad u got a chance to answer some of your own questions!
i get reading a lot about a person and then finally meeting them, even when they're not well known. feels a little like meeting a celebrity, in a way,
"I am as well. Plus, this is... I guess a good opportunity? That I'm being interviewed at all means my higher ups are taking notice of my work, which may mean a promotion is imminent."
He scratches his chin and tilts his head.
"I'm trying not to treat her like a show piece though. I imagine that would be.... off putting to the extreme."
