The dragon never did have the best confidence in herself. Although she knew she had the prowess of an archer and a healer, she never felt confident in her ability to lead an army as the second youngest princess of Hoshido. Shutting her eyes as her brother's hand met her head, she'd let out a soft squeak before promptly trying to fix the lone braid of her hair along with the treasured Carnation hair ribbon that tied it all together.

Looking at the silouettes of the retainers she cherished dearly, her eyes shimmered like jewels underneath the moonlight as her cheeks reddened at the sight of one such retainer. Maybe soon she'll open up to them about her concerns as well; but for now, she only wanted the company of her eldest brother, listening to the stories of the father she couldn't remember.

"...Father did...?" It was almost surprising for her that their own father would be so nervous about holding his own children. She knew Sen had been around the same age as Ryoma, with Kaiyou just being younger than he was, but with her and Natalya being twins, it must've been quite the ordeal raising twin infants at once in such a large family. "That...is the kind story about Father I would like to hear...more than anything..."

Despite her age, she was still so frail and vulnerable... It almost seemed as if she was still that little girl, still a child that was scared of ghosts; although the ghosts of the past were always unwelcomed guests, regardless of the person's inner strength, he assumed.

His free hand would find it's way atop her head, carefully ruffling her hair as he used to do it as a younger prince himself. "Of course, that is why I have come here for, after all."

The steps had stopped, the free grass field laying behind them, with the warm fire of the camp flickering in the distance. As long as they did not stray off too far, no danger should threaten them in such a tender moment.

"A story about father..." Now he wished he was not wearing his entire set of armor. It would certainly have a much more gentle effect if he could offer a soft embrace of fabric instead of cold metal. Thus, the hand, which had touched her head previously, now at his chin, he mused about her request and which story to tell. Something light-hearted; an image she could connect with her feelings.

"Well, would you believe me if I told you that father was quite nervous to hold his children in his arms?" A light chuckle escaped him at the memory of king Sumeragi fidgeting at the sight of yet another young royal. "His hands got rather sweaty and he started combing through his beard with his fingers every time Mikoto asked him if he wanted to hold you or one of your siblings. He feared that his big hands were unsuited for such delicate beings. Is that the kind of story you would like to hear?"

[caelumskies]

Although his explanation had made her feel a little better, Nadeshiko's head seemed to spin even more as she gathered her thoughts. She knew Ryoma was right, he usually was when it came to his advice, but she couldn't seem to think properly.

Perhaps she was in shock after losing her mother for a second time, but she wasn't doing as well mentally as she usually would. She had only heard stories of Sumeragi, her memories of him were oh so vague. Her eyes would soften as she squeezed her brother's hand, her bangs covering her shining pink eyes as she glanced down to her feet.

"...If you could stay with me...I believe that will be okay...I think I...shouldn't be by myself for now...Not like this..."

As her bare feet dug into the ground, she'd bite her own lip, avoiding her fang so that she didn't accidentally cut her lip.

"...In return, I...wish to hear stories about Father...if that is alright..."

There it was again, that tight grip around the fabric of her clothes, arms covering her body as if she could protect herself from her emotions. It had never been his intention to keep secrets from anyone, yet he also had no regrets regarding this one. His expression softened as he exhaled a sigh at the sensation of her hand, before he would return her gaze.

"I apologize that I had not told you before, but it was what father would have wanted. Even the others do not know. Perhaps that is why you were able to grow up as siblings?" A shake of his head, brown hair waving in the illuminated night. "None of it was a lie; everyone had been sincere regarding their relationship with you. So please try not to think of it as anything other. It would not be very kind to their feelings, would it?"

But he would spare her a smile, encouraging in its nature, as he had oftentimes given to her when doubts would cloud her mind and darken her facial features. "Regardless, I do promise to be honest with you from now on. There is no harm in you knowing, and there is nothing I can protect you from anymore."

A quick squeeze, his big hand enveloping hers, was given in response after a short pause, eventually. "Is there something else weighing on your mind? Or something else you would like to discuss with me?"

#~ nadeshiko | ic ~ #~ path | revelations ~ #lucresence

[caelumskies]

The soft pattering of feet against stone along with metal clanging against each other disturbed the silence of the night with the sibling's stroll. Listening to her brother's words, her eyes softened as she kept blankly staring at the moon.

"...It does..." Nadeshiko's soft voice reached Ryoma's ears as she spoke, her grip on her cape tightening in the process."Granted, I am grateful that I was able to grow up with such a loving family...and I got to meet Kuranosuke and Kazu...two most important people to me...but there is this part of me that felt like...I was living a lie..."

With a gentle sigh, Nadeshiko would walk up to hold the high prince's hand, his large hand completely covering her own. Granted, she was surprised when she found out the truth...but it never changed the fact that they were siblings, through and through. "...So no more secrets. I am old enough to be more accepting of the truth, dear brother."

Seeing her small frame tremble like that at her question turned an invisible knife around in his gut, slowly and painfully. A quiet sigh emerged from his lips at first, then he placed a big hand against her back to gently guide her feet along his path. Sometimes it was better to start moving rather than to stand still in an emotional moment.

"Please, walk with me, and I will tell you everything."

Silenced weighed heavy upon them, while the prince was considering his next words wisely. There were various ways to tell the truth, but some surely were more appropriate than others; he did not want to further deepen her pain, after all.

Finally, after a couple of minutes, he gently cut through the silence with his response. "I did know. You were born after Mikoto arrived in Hoshido together with your siblings. And your father was not King Sumeragi, but... a different man. Mikoto never spoke about his identity, not did father ask her. But yes, Sen, Kaiyou, Natalya, and you were born to parents who did not hail from Hoshido." His gaze fell upon her by his side, observing her reaction carefully. "Does that matter to you so much?"

There was always something about Ryoma that had always made her feel comforted. It wasn't just because he was her brother, but much like their mother, she had always looked to the crown prince for a lot of guidance about being a proper royal. She needed this conversation more than anything. She needed answers.

"Did you know?"

Nadeshiko's grip on her cape would tighten as she spoke, her lips trembling a bit as she tried to find the proper words to express what she felt. She had to ask, she had to, but the answer that she would inevitably get scared her. The thought of her life being a complete lie was scary.

"...T-This whole time...Had you already known that Sen, Kaiyou, Natalya, and I were not...?"

As always, it was quite easy to read her like an open book. She had always been terrible at hiding her own emotions, even though she still tried to convince people that she was alright.

And as expected, her never-ending doubts were the reason for her to wander so aimlessly in an unfamiliar environment. He would rather have her take her stroll near the others where someone would have an eye on her or distract her, but his own wishes not always aligned with the best solution; he was very much aware of the fact that she might just need the conversation they had not had for her entire life. There had been reasons why he had avoided it.

"I am certain that everyone was quite shaken after the last battle. If you want to, I would gladly hear what is on your mind. Perhaps I can soothe the one or other doubt that might be plaguing you." His voice was quiet as to avoid attracting any of their other allies from approaching. More unwanted attention probably was not doing her any good at the moment. Although he could not avoid the noise his armored boots were making... She would have to bear with that.

#~ nadeshiko | ic ~ #~ path | revelations ~ #lucresence #i'm laughing at the thought of metal just clanging against each other while they're walking thanks

[caelumskies]

It was no surprise that her brother had somehow found her, she always knew that there was someone who was keeping watch on her, making sure that she wasn't sick or fainting. Even before her own moonlit stroll, she couldn't seem to find any comfort in her own beloved retainers. There were so many things she wanted to ask her brother. Was it true that she wasn't truly a Hoshidan by blood? Why was it that she was lied to for so many years? Did Sen know? Did all of her older siblings know?

Taking a deep breath, she would look up at the high prince, lips pursed as she held onto her own cape.

"...I just...did not think I could sleep properly after what happened...I simply needed some time to think...but feel free to join me if you so wish, Brother."

In a place like this it was crucial to always have an eye on everyone. After the betrayals they had faced from the "locals" - or however one would call them - there was no amount of caution that was too much. And especially after their encounter with Mikoto... Even he had not been left unchanged. How could he?

Thanks to Saizō's observation, he had been able to catch up to his younger sibling. Fortunately enough his reatiner had reported that she at least did not seem to be sleep walking, eliminating some dangers that might prove to be hinderances. He would rather avoid her spraining her ankle considering her already weak condition. However, that meant that something else was keeping her awake... And he had his suspicions what that might be.

"Is it not a bit late for a stroll around, Nadeshiko?" The prince asked, a calm smile on his lips. "Do you mind if I join you? Unless you would prefer to be alone?"

Thoughts on Kaze, Nadeshiko?

"O-Oh, Kaze? He is a trusted ally of mine, and someone I looked up to when I was little. Even back then, he didn't seem to pledge loyalty to myself nor my siblings despite the fact that the position as my second retainer was available at the time.

Of course, now that I am older, I have a better understanding as of why after my sister's return. Seeing him now, I am pleased to be able to bear witness to Kaze's growth from when we were all younger. I do have quite a bit of fun speaking with him myself when I can, so I do actually consider him as a good friend of mine. . . !"

Starter for @lucresence Nadeshiko | Ryoma

Somehow the night was a lot quieter than usual. Looking up at the sky of Valla, it always seemed to peaceful if not for the threats that plagued it. Perhaps it was time she took a bit of a stroll. She knew her retainers were not going to be around since all of the royal's retainers needed to keep an eye out for any enemies while their lieges and other allies could at least get some rest.

She especially needed some time to think for herself, especially after finding out everything about her and the rest of her sibling's lineage...the fact that their mother had been brought back and controlled against them. She needed fresh air, and everything just seemed so surreal to her. She hadn't felt sick ever since they came into Valla, but now she simply felt a sense of dread.

Just as she stopped, her ears picked up on the sound of footsteps behind her as her head snapped back to catch sight of the First Prince of Hoshido. Her eldest brother, Ryōma.

"...Elder Brother...?"

WHICH ARCHETYPE ON A PIRATE SHIP ARE YOU

Nadeshiko and Kotoha

THE MUSICIAN

you were probably kidnapped by the pirates, or perhaps you had wandered onto the ship expecting it to be a normal gig only to find that the crew is very ride-or-die. to be honest, you do not regret it one bit. you’ve been longing for this sort of excitement all your life, perhaps to distract yourself from the troubles and sorrows you had while you were on land. you are the charming, lively life of the ship, clever with your words and raising your crew’s morale when they are at their lowest. when you inevitably have to face the troubles you are running away from--for they will eventually catch up on you--it leaves you in anxiety and distress, but your crew has adopted you into their family; they will go arm in arm with you, through whatever personal storm you face.

Calliope

THE MERMAID

you are the mysterious glimmer under the water, the ghostly hand that rescues the drowning sailor from the storm and pushes them back on deck, whilst disappearing the moment his crewmates rush over. but you have followed the ship ever since, listening to the distant music and laughter while you hide in the shadows of the hull, wishing you could feel their warmth and understand their songs. but how can you find connection with those so far away, who come from a world so different from yours? you long to understand; you wish to be understood. you dive under the water too slowly when they turn your way, and secretly hope they catch sight of your pearly fins. when they are lost, you slip shells and jewels onto their ship and listen in on them as they wonder where the jewels came from.

Rhea

THE STOWAWAY

you are guarded and sharp; you’ve stolen onto the ship, giving up your doomed life on land. society has hurt you too much, you do not want to return to its hypocrisies and expectations when the sea offers freedom. you keep many secrets, almost too many, and you do not immediately trust the crew of the ship, preferring to keep your head down and to observe quietly from the crow’s nest as the rest of the crew share dinner. sooner or later, though, when an enemy holds a pistol to your head or a storm nearly throws you overboard, a crewmate will fight tooth and nail to save you, and you will realise that you would unquestioningly do the same for them.

❀ Kotoha Headcanons ❀

These are for anyone who are interested in interacting with Kotoha and want to know all about her outside of her personality and biography! More will be added as time passes.

⮇ ALL HEADCANONS DOWN BELOW ⮇

༻❁༺

She is the 3rd child of 4 children. She has an elder sister, an elder brother, and a younger brother.

༻❁༺

Kotoha's parents disappeared when she was very young, thus a lot of her teenage upbringing was up to her eldest sister and her grandparents.

༻❁༺

Kotoha's family are all introverted, however, there are a few exceptions, such as her older brother. Her family's residence resides in a Wisteria Forest, which is usually quiet as the members don't usually disclose it's location unless it is to trusted individuals.

༻❁༺

Kotoha, years prior to joining the Yashiro Commission, had a fallout with her elder sister and so both siblings are not on speaking terms. She does not speak of this with others, but it still pains her to think about.

༻❁༺

She has a soft spot for animals. However, she doesn't usually like it when people are around to see her, so she tends to play with them in secret

༻❁༺

Kotoha does not know how to smile. Her family had been generally pretty serious, and so smiles are a little rare for her unless it's done without her realizing it.

༻❁༺

Her preference in instruments are the Koto. However, she is not against playing other instruments if needed.

༻❁༺

While Kotoha is not good at socializing, she tries to get advice from other commission members as to how to express her gratitude to her audience without her silence seeming rude.

༻❁༺

Prior to the abolishment of the Vision Hunt Decree, Kotoha blatantly avoided any interaction with her brother due to their respective commissions being at odds. Afterwards, the two interact and visit each other but are still a little awkward with one another.

༻❁༺

Despite her issues with socialization, she actually teaches the children in the city how to play the koto and is pretty good at handling them, thus their affectionate nickname for her tends to be "Koto", after the instrument's namesake.

༻❁༺
