❛ you want me to say no, don't you? ❜ || @delightfalse from Cassandra

Percy presses his lips into a thin line, his gaze hardening at the question. it was an attempt at hiding what was going on in his head, his heart. It was skipping beats left & right as he thought of each way Cassandra had endured on her own. It wasn't something he liked to think of. But that didn't stop thoughts from forcing their way into his skull. He'd asked her none-too-carefully if she collected secrets for the briarwoods. Information was a currency that was vital in her situation after all.

"I don't know, " he admits this carefully, unusually honest. Percy could lie to almost anyone, but Cassandra deserved better than that. He hopes it is a sentiment she shares. Percy knew Cassandra didn't owe him any details, he certainly wasn't owed her secrets… But Percy thought he may deserve the truth. He'd done plenty of things to survive, it wasn't like he could condemn her for any measures she may have taken. But he had to know, "Would that be the truth? "

She knew his truth. Or, at least, parts of it. More of it than most. His sister had known him at his most desperate, if anyone knew his darkness it may be her. Percy had come to realize that a beast existed in every de rolo that survived long enough to cultivate it. The innate need to live, no matter the cost. Though he'd never use her survival as ammunition against her, he had to know who his sister had become to survive. That didn't make it any less shocking, any less frightening a notion. To think the same beast existed within her.

#delightfalse #answered.#delightfalse: cassandra #v. tbt #so i decided to kind of play off the headcanon you posted earlier #i hope that is alright w you!#thought abt percy asking cass if she would feed info to the briarwoods #just bcs he needs to know how she made it so long #or maybe the conversation of how did you survive lead here???#idk but i am kicking my feet abt it

“You don’t need to tell me everything. I just want to know how I can help.”

"If I knew that... believe me, Cassandra, I would tell you." Vesper wrung her hands again, smiling gently at her younger sister, but all of her body language had been projecting anxiety ever since breakfast. She had hardly eaten anything. And she hadn't left the library for lunch. Though that was an old habit she was still falling into.

"I know I don't have to tell you what it's like to be... home and feel as if it's wrong. I'm just... trying to adjust, I think."

@delightfalse liked for a starter.

he knows he needs to leave this city as soon as possible. dark magic has sunk deep into its roots, and it frequently makes him ill. but it takes a long time to travel so far when you're little, and wylan doesn't have the power to make himself bigger yet.

his latest hiding space is the castle. he's flitted from room to room, trying to get as far away from evil as he can. he'd sensed her pain through the walls, and now he hears the quiet fall of teardrops. wylan tries to peek out to see if she's alright, and falls from his hidey-hole with a clatter.

he's visible to her for the first time- a little, gossamer-winged faerie that could fit in the palm of her hand. his silver-white glow contrasts with the darkness surrounding them. " i'm sorry, i- i didn't mean to spy, " he stutters, " i just needed somewhere to hide. "

#//the same dnd verse except wylan's younger and he and his dad are faerie nobility #//also let me know if cassandra doesn't cry and i can easily edit this #//also this is astraltouch lol #delightfalse #q.#∘⡊ ☾ ˚⊹wylan van eck⊹ — in character

❛ there are questions i can't ask. ❜ ― @delightfalse, cassandra.

faltering, keyleth draws her gaze away from the flower stems idly looping between her fingers to look at cassandra, a slightly bemused frown curling her lips. she feels like this is a heavy topic she shouldn't have the right to breach -- but it had been offered, so she ponders for a safe route. what can she say to the estranged sister of one of her most cherished friends? ❝ i'm sure that's not...entirely true, ❞ she offers, though her brows touch upon a furrow the longer she thinks. percy is not an easy man to open up, she knows that well enough. but she also knows him, and her chest feels full of the trepidation of how unfair that may feel to the other de rolo. they do look terribly similar; same features, same eyes -- those that bear a lifetime and a half of pain and shadows. she takes a breath, leans her elbows onto the breakfast table the others have since vacated and steeples her hands. it's nice to have a rest, in all of this.

❝ percy can certainly be . . . difficult, but i think he'd give you anything you want to know. in due time, perhaps, but still -- he is your brother. ❞ and mine. the thought slips in with some surprise, though it isn't the first time she's regarded the tinkerer with such fondness. may not be the best thing to let slip in this moment, however. ❝ if you want to understand him, you'll have to wait for him to accept that first. i don't think he wants you to know everything yet. but i believe he will. ❞ a warm, albeit meek smile is offered. ❝ i can try to help fill in some blanks, but . . . you know. ❞

[ help ] cassandra runs to percy when they scream for help || @delightfalse

percy's heart beats too quickly, quicker than he can process the sound that comes from his mouth. he's sure it must have been a name, though he can't identify who he'd called for. In Greyskull keep, he'd had the privilege of having a room next to Vex. She had dealt with his nightmares with such indiscretion, such care, but he knows it's not her he calls for. no, being back in Whitestone dug up buried sentiments from within Percy.

he is still trying to shake the echoes of the past that had invaded his dreams. the scent of mildew, dried blood, and festering wounds. among those twisted memories was a lifeline, a face - Cassandra. It was Cassandra he had called for?

as soon as he realizes the name that had torn from his throat, he laughs. with pinprick tears at the corners of his eyes, he's lost in the absurdity of it all. He didn't deserve to look to Cassandra for safety. It was ridiculous to feel entitled to her support. he was supposed to be her protector & yet he had failed, quite relentlessly. he puts his head in his hands, trying to swallow his emotions.

silence falls over the room when his door opens & he sees Cassandra standing in his doorframe. his breath catches in his lungs. he hadn't expected to get this far. he freezes for a few seconds too long before finding his voice again.

" Nightmares," Percy states plainly, flattening his features. he's sure he looks like a madman. screaming & laughing at the folly of his fear, waking her & who knew who else in the middle of the night. but, he was sure the nightmares were a shared affliction. so while he feels insane & a bit ridiculous, he's very secretly glad it's his sister he'd called for. he forces the air from his lungs in a deep sigh, steadying his breath & thoughts to the best of his ability. he sets aside his pride, just for a moment. just long enough to ask, " Would you sit with me? Just for a bit. "

he regrets asking nearly as much as he regrets calling for her in the first place. but he feels oddly small & oddly bold. but he doesn't rescind his request. percy is sure he couldn't if he wanted to.

#delightfalse #delightfalse: cassandra #v. main #kicking my feet abt them #i went with nightmares as to why percy screamed for cassandra #bcs it is cliche but i love cliche

“i’m going up to my room now, where i may die.” || @delightfalse!

percy had felt particularly inspired this morning. he'd been thinking about the nights in greyskull keep, a particular prank vax had pulled on vex. ( if anyone knew how to treat a sibling, it was vax. ) percy had switched out the sugar cubes that cassandra put in her tea with nearly identical cubes made of salt. there had been a certain thrill in waiting for her to look away long enough for him to do it. it had seemed like hours before she took the first sip & the face cassandra had made was priceless. initially he was going to deny any involvement but he had given himself away with a poorly hidden snort.

" have fun, " percy can't fight the wicked smirk on his face, a pep in his long strides as he follows his sister. he's not sure if she's really going to her room or if she's just trying to put space between them… but what kind of older brother would he be if he didn't find out?

he's practically skipping after her. he's sure he could stop if he wanted, but he didn't. there was no use pretending he wasn't entirely pleased with himself. his words bounce off his tongue with a bright sarcasm, " If you do die in there, be sure to open up a window. don't want it to stink, after all. "
