Chapter 25: isipho

isipho — Xhosa, meaning "gift"

Shuri is happy, but there's one thing that would make her more content; her world a more perfect one.

Shuri reminded herself that Namor would still live long after she was gone. A burden for him, but an odd relief for her. He wasn’t going anywhere. Not ever. Shuri never had to worry about losing him. The only way that would happen was if she pushed him away — and he was pretty resilient to all her worst habits so far. No. Namor wasn’t going anywhere. There was only one thing that could make it all perfect.

Shuri leaned back on her feet, glad that she and Namor were close in height, even if he was still immense enough to dwarf her. Physically, at least. Shuri liked to think they were pretty even on everything else. She reached her hands up to cup Namor’s face. He was still smiling when she said, “I want you to make peace with my mother.”

The smile fell quickly.

“I don’t see why I should fall on my knees before her in forgiveness when she is the one who crosses me at every turn,” Namor spat.

“Because she’s not going to do it.”

“Not even if you ask her?” He demanded. “Ask her as you are asking me now?”

“I don’t know,” Shuri admitted. “But I’m not asking her. I’m asking you.”

For a moment, Namor looked as though he wanted to argue. But he didn’t. He just looked at her for a long moment, searching for something in her eyes. Whatever it was, he must have found it. His dark gaze softened. He caressed her cheek, pressing his forehead against hers. The cold jade of his piercing pressed against her nose. Shuri accepted the embrace, leaned into it. “I will do this for you,” Namor whispered. “But if she rebukes me, if she refuses to make things right on equal terms, I will not make a second attempt.”

For Shuri, who had yet to see Namor fail at anything, this was more than enough. “That’s all I’m asking for.”

[Brodie flicked through the mail, instantly recognising the scrawling handwriting of a certain redheaded little boy. Scaring a few birds in the process, he bellowed up the stairs: ALEEEEX!] Alex: [breathless] Is it for me?! Brodie: Nah, but I could do with some help carrying this super heavy envelope upstairs. Alex: Who do you think you are, Johnny Zest? Brodie: I’m better than that guy, c’mon…

… Hi Alex! Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply to you, I promise I didn’t forget! I guess I just didn’t really know what to say cos I’ve sorta not felt like myself recently. My mom says I disappear into my own world sometimes so I sorta did that again and found it hard to think of anything fun to say. I don’t think I’d mind if you wrote to me about the less fun parts of your life though n’ my dad says you shouldn’t really keep everything to yourself all the time cos it ends up hurting so I thought I’d write anyway n’ just force myself not to worry about being boring or whatever. Your letters and your life always sound so exciting compared to mine though so sometimes it’s hard not to!!

I got in a fight at school which sounds like it should be an exciting story, but it wasn’t really. There’s this kid called Levi in my class that always picks on me (don’t worry though, I don’t care about that) and I couldn’t be bothered listening to him anymore so I hit him a couple times, I thought he’d hit me back but he just freaked out so I sorta felt bad about it afterward. He still makes fun of me but he doesn’t get up in my face as much so that’s a plus. Who says violence doesn’t solve anything? Hahaha I’m kidding! It wasn’t nice of me but maybe he should know better than to push people around so much.

I’m looking forward to summer so I can wander off a bit more and maybe it won’t rain so much! My mom doesn’t really like it when I go too far but as long as I’m back before curfew she tries not to freak out about it which is nice of her cos she knows I like to explore n’ stuff. I shouldn’t complain about my family cos I love them n’ stuff but I like being on my own sometimes and it’d be nice to have a bit of peace now n’ then. I’ve got SUPER good hearing so it’s hard to find anywhere quiet in my house, especially cos there’s always something crazy going on. My aunt Alma is sorta similar to me so she’s been helping me block out the noise with this meditation sorta thing, I guess it’s hard to explain but it’s not as lame as it sounds, it’s kinda fun to see how long you can stay in your own brain without people interrupting you. That probably sounds really weird but maybe you sorta get what I mean?

I finally have a treehouse now too!! It reminds me of your watchtower in some ways, but I guess it’s no way cooler than that, even though I know you’re bored of it by now. I wish we could hang out in it together cos it’s super awesome! Mom n’ dad don’t really bother me when I’m up there n’ my brother n’ sisters can’t manage the ladder yet so it’s all mine! It’s right at the bottom of the garden and looks out over the whole Bay too! Mom said she might let me sleep in it once it gets a bit warmer! It’d be cool falling asleep to the sound of the waves.. I hope it doesn’t end up making me need to pee all night though haha!!

Wren’s been obsessed with watching me play on the computer recently and I keep tryna teach her how to play herself but her little fingers can’t really reach all the buttons on the keyboard too well and she gets stupid mad when she dies so she just makes me play instead. She’d kick me if I told anyone but she’s a bit scared of some of the monsters too lol!! Mom told me I shouldn’t let her watch those ones but they’re the only ones she WANTS to watch and she jumps all over me until I give in so idk what they expect me to do other than lock her in the pantry, but I got told off for that so I guess I shouldn’t do that again haha (Wren thought it was funny though so it’s all good!) It’s a shame you don’t have a computer in the tower otherwise we could play together! Jude n’ Jacob aren’t really into that sorta thing so I usually just play on my own. Do you have a computer back home??

Oh! I got another badge for my swimming lessons too! I’ve almost got em all now which is neat but I sorta wanna avoid getting the last ones cos anyone that gets them all or has good attendance n’ whatever get an award at the end of the school year. They save em all up to give out at some stupid last year disco thing they put on before summer for the last year kids n’ it’d be so cringe to get called out in front of everyone like that. Some people think it’s gonna be amazing like my friend Jude, but I’d rather not go at all. Mom n’ dad keep saying it’ll be fun n’ everyone else is excited about it too but how fun could something be if you’re technically at SCHOOL? Bleh! I know you said you hate it sometimes, but being homeschooled sounds awesome to me lol.

I keep tryna bug my parents to go camping again so we could maybe see each other but they won’t take me out of school for a holiday n’ dad’s too busy with some work project so I guess we’ll have to keep writing to each other instead! Maybe if I keep annoying them about it we can come back in the summer! I hope so anyway but I guess I don’t wanna piss em off TOO much just in case my plan backfires or something.

I still feel really bad about not writing sooner but my dad said better late than never so hopefully you’re not too upset with me! I’ll try my best to write faster next time so you don’t have to wait as long. I’m looking forward to hearing about everything you’ve been up to!! Love Robin c: ps. my dad’s friend finally helped me fix that old polaroid so I’ve sent you some random pictures I took to test it out! I’m still getting used to it but the next ones will be better, I swear!

… the treehouse! it even has cool lights on it!! the back of our house! it’s so big it’s hard to fit in a picture.. it sorta looks fancy but it’s not really n’ dad said it was cheap cos it was a shithole a rare Byrd! (grumpy too – dad tried to take his dummy off him lol) he’s not supposed to be on my bed… the Bay! Jude says I sound girly for saying it’s so pretty here but I don’t care I could take a million pictures of this place n’ never get bored (I’ll stop now though cos mom says these polaroid things aren’t cheap for this model.. oops lol!!)

〈 hiatus notice. 〉

happy news, my friends. muffin's traveling again, this time it is not for business, just pleasure! i'll be going to japan for two whole weeks, hooray. ♥♥

originally, i was going to drop a buncha things in the queue so something gets posted every day and y'all don't miss me too much, but i quickly realized that i am much too excited for my trip to do that. try your best to not forget me & the broccoli boy in my absence, will you? we'll be back in a jiffy!

in the meantime, please feel free to continue sending memes/asks, and i'll get them done upon my return.

while on vacation, i will not be on discord at all. i may peek at tumblr every so often but won't say too much.

#( ooc )#promise you'll still love me #i actually saved some drafts with the intention of finishing and q'ing them #but i am too excited to write now cries

maybe i should get therapy from mr rtumblr therapist themselves but i dont think you are ready for how magical john and cupcler can reproduce- i mEAN merge (who said that) to create tits so massive they kill gods who dare get on their way. i feel like that would just make the therapist go and have a therapy session themselves.

And i doubt you want to have a therapy session with someone who stole your meat cells and is now currently trying to create monsters- I MEAN MEAT PIES from it.

......................

Have you tried a regular sleep schedule?

#crying i just woke up at the time of q'ing this XD #rtumblr

willow !! your touya + eggplant fic has got me rolling around in puddles of love. i just adore how you wrote touya as the sort of: trying guy who missed out on being a kid so he’s taking that time back now kind of way. the flirtatious and completely unexpected messages he sends reminds me so much of being young, doing mischievous things for the sake of causing mischief! it’s like he’s dabbling a little in his luck with the girl he likes! then being invited over and he’s acting a fooool. outright crimes being so direct and headstrong to tease but also really means what he says— only to then find himself caught off guard when you confront him with your unspoken feelings <3 the boyish charm he carries around !!! gosh, there’s so much i loved about your piece that i can’t even begin to form coherent words. or thoughts. or anything. i enjoyed it soooo very much, i’m a little puddle of love !!!

i am a little puddle of love !!!! 🥺🥺🥺 me, me, me !!!! you're so sweet, thank you for enjoying it and taking the time to come and give me your sweet thoughts !!! 🥺 i'm so glad to hear you say that it reminds you of being young and causing mischief he he he that's what i was wanting for !!! 🥺 and i really thought i was missing my mark, so it's such a relief to hear you say so !!!! i really appreciate you for stopping by 🥺🥺 tysm !!! ✨️✨️✨️

#the tumblr app is geeking right now so i'm q'ing this !!!#blast from the past: hiatus q #THANK YOU !!! i really can't believe yall liked this one i thought i was way off base !!! 🥺#PHEW !!! the reassurance is so nice to hear 😭😭😭#✿ ask willow

every time i go through someone's blog and mass-queue their stuff, i start to worry that they think me an annoying spam liker. i hope every time that they see the message in my header if they visit my blog, and don't think i'll reblog everyone else's work except theirs. but does that worry stop me? hell nah, i'm literally like "listen, i love your stuff, but you'll have to WAIT until it's your turn"

..... phrasing it like that makes it sound even worse than if i just didn't reblog at all lmao

#artists and other creators expressing their very much understandable annoyance over ppl not rb'ing their stuff #and i am here liking their stuff and q'ing it up like... i fully understand and support you buddy... you'll just have to trust me ok
