The day was going as per normal, Ciri is running around doing her lessons, focusing hard to replicate her mentors actions and many times additional instructions, in an attempt to help the girl along.
Unlike normal, though, was her new shadow.
Lambert has been following her around the entire day, always about 10 feet back and resting against the nearest wall, looking rather bored. Eskel shakes off the urge to ask his brother just what in the world he could be doing, but Ciri doesnt seem to mind him being there and figures its some sort of bonding ritual the pup had come up with to get closer to his niece.
He is about to walk away when Ciri accidentally knocks into a vile she was meant to keep upright, the small ashen poof coating her as if she had been working in the dirt all day, the force blowing her hair in all sorts of directions.
This was her third mess up in a row, the steam nearly visible coming from her ears and she fights the urge to scream.
“ARE YOU-” she pauses for just a second, Eskel watching as his brother fills in seamlessly, hiding the chuckle in his voice.
“Fucking,” he offers, waving a hand dismissivly before going back to picking at his fingers.
“-KIDDING ME?” she finishes without so much as a hesitation. Snorting a laugh, eskel slides into the space next to his brother.
“Okay, ill bite. What was that all about?” Lambert fights his own grin.
“Song bird banned Ciri from swearing, something about it not being lady like… So i volunteered to help.” he shrugs, as if it was obvious.
“You just like saying fuck,” eskel dedapans, barely hiding the amusement in his tone. Lamberts even baritone beside him makes his shoulders shake with silent laughter.
“That doesn’t make my job any less important.”

sometimes character analysis is like "i want to talk about this character but i'm not interested in having that discussion without a shock collar that goes off whenever you have a bad take around the necks of everyone present including myself"

the thing is that every single one of us with remotely creative inclinations who falls under what i might hesitantly, shuddering a little with the humiliating weight of bringing out such a phrase in the year 2024, call the "former gifted kid umbrella" has gone through a phase where we think overwrought purple prose sponsored by thesaurus.com that is very very self consciously aware of our own artistry and self proclaimed uniqueness for being able to string a sentence together is like, the absolute peak of all writing skill and that we are literally the smartest person on earth for reading classics or knowing a vocab word above our grade level or being able to pick up on metaphors in poetry. and it inevitably results in creating art that is not very good because we are focusing less and less on actually saying something and more and more on just sounding very very smart when we say it. and yes, it's deeply cringe to look back on it and a lot of the art made will, in hindsight, be at best a bit naff and at worst completely unsalvageable, but it's a massively important stage of creative development that ultimately teaches you a lot about moderation & what is really important in the art you create (ie. actually saying something from the heart as opposed to saying something that will make everyone gawp at how clever you are). the issue is that most of us who went through this did so when we were like 14 and taylor swift appears to be having that phase while being well into her thirties

Tma characters as hyperspecific non-categorised experiences.
Jon: Trying not to fall asleep on the bus when it's cold and dark outside.
Martin: The slightly firm texture a fluffy blanket has before you wash it for the first time.
Tim: Sipping a cocktail without realised how cold it is, the ice brushing your lips.
Sasha: The slightly artificial but altogether natural scent of fresh homemade popcorn.
Basira: When you spill rose oil on your hands and they smell like it for the rest of the day.
Daisy: The sting of a burnt tongue from a sip of scalding coffee.
Melanie: The taste in your mouth after you spit out chewing gum that's lost its flavour.
Georgie: Pressing your hand into a brand new feather pillow
Elias: Accidentally putting your hand in your mouth after using hand sanitiser.

ROSE: Listening to the same music I used to listen when I was 12-13 is something else. I'm still her. I'm nothing like her anymore. She knew everything. She knew nothing. She was so right. She was so wrong.

Typical cdrama fan lifecycle:
Episode 1: oh what fun, what dynamics, the sweet characters, the gaiety, fralala!
