DANICA VANDWELL , @starlcved : “ say what’s on your mind . ”
gaze only leaves the king’s for a BRIEF moment so that he can look at her , expression remaining mostly stoic , though he does allow himself to lean in slightly closer to her side . “ i was just thinking about that problem you were talking to me about , your highness . ” he muses , keeping his words VAGUE in case of eavesdroppers , relying on the direction of his gaze to show her what ( or in this case , who ) he’s talking about . smiling ever so slightly when he sees him laugh in the distance , he then turns to look at her properly , offering her somewhat of a devilish smirk as he eyes her up . “ i may have figured out a solution for you . ”

ADELIA REDMOND , @mythbloomed : “ i don’t wanna fight . ”
he has to hold back a laugh at the IRONY of her words , jaw simply clenching when he lifts his gaze to hers once more , cold eyes all but glaring at her . “ no ? ” he muses quietly , CALMLY almost , given the state of their current situation . “ because it almost seems like you want to fight about this . just like you do with absolutely everything else i ever do or say or try to put forwards . ” this is different , he knows that . he knows that she wants no involvement in another war . but he still can’t let it go regardless . stepping forwards , his head tilts , gaze remaining FIERCELY pinned to hers . “ you never seem to care about what’s right for limeros . i’m not even sure why i bother talking to you about it ! ”

IRENE DAVENPORT , @starlcved : “ life is short until it’s not . ”
words spark the smallest hint of a smile , though the laugh that follows is DRY . “ yes , i suppose you could say that . ” he mutters , gaze drifting from the waves he had been staring out at to the ring on his finger , frowning at the way it seemed to glisten under the moonlight . “ bitterly short for some and disappointingly long for others . it never likes to play fair , either . does it ? ”

STARLCVED : THEON .
one hands lifts to rub the sleepiness from his eyes, tugging through his already dishevelled hair, a deep frown settling across his brow as he watches magnus step closer with a sigh. “ a run ? ” gaze lifts to meet his before sweeping across his form, taking in the clothes clearly geared towards a workout. “ i’m not adamant, magnus. your father is adamant that it’s not safe for you to go out alone. ” though he knows the words would fall on unhearing ears. obviously magnus was attempting some sort of petty revenge, but now he was awake, he could not allow magnus to leave alone for fear of losing his job. gaze narrows as the other leans even closer, remaining rooted to the spot. “ i do not doubt that. ” swallowing down a heavy sigh, pulling the door open wider. “ can i at least put some more appropriate clothes on ? ” one brow lifts, reference to the pyjama bottoms he currently wore. “ i don’t mind a two am run every now and then. ” unamused smile pulls at his lips, one hand lifting to gesture for magnus to enter.
eyes roll at his words , heavy sigh soon following . “ yes , yes , whatever . ” he mutters , refusing to accept his EXPLANATION despite how much he knows it’s the truth ---- preferring to continue this game of torment instead . smile makes its way onto his lips when he realises that his plan has worked though , dark eyes dropping over theon’s frame as he takes him in properly , a small nod offered towards him . “ of course ! ” he exclaims , tone far more UPBEAT than usual as his gaze lands on his again . “ i wouldn’t want my personal bodyguard getting a chill , would i ? ” pushing himself away from the doorframe , he then steps inside ; moving past theon as a fresh smile finds its face . “ don’t take too long , though . ” he muses as he begins a slow circle around the room , examining its contents . “ i’m warmed up and raring to go . ”

STARLCVED : DOREAN .
the response to his actions only cause his hatred of the other man to deepen, rage flaring at the smirk plastered across his lips, wanting nothing more but the wipe it from his face. jaw clenches as he insists on continuing his little tirade, gaze narrowing as an odd sort of calm settles over him. “ speak to any guest here, i think it’ll become clear how popular tylan is amongst them. ” words are tight and dangerously low, a warning buried within them to stop whilst he was ahead.
the grin now at magnus’ lips, along with the laugh that escapes them, is enough to make his blood boil once more, tongue pushing against the inside of his cheek as his own laugh echoes. “ don’t push me, magnus. ” words ground out as his lip twitches in something of a snarl. he’s about to respond to his questions, until magnus continues on, his insinuation that his family, his BROTHER were beneath him making his vision turn red. “ i don’t give a shit about whether you’re sorry. ” a hand lifts to shove magnus’ hand away, unable to stop the way his anger swelled at the action.
before he even realises it, free hand curls into a fist, following through with a solid hit to magnus’ jaw, a satisfied smirk pulling across his lips at the sound of it connecting. ignoring the flare of pain through his knuckles, taking a quick step closer to wrap his fingers once more around the other’s throat, leaning in close to his face. “ if anyone needs to learn their place, it’s you. leave my brother the fuck alone. that’s ALL i want. ” threatening words spoken through his teeth, glaring down at the other for a long moment before releasing his hold. “ i’m warning you, damora. for the last time. ”
this facade is becoming tiring , but he still keeps on with it ; a snort given at dorean’s words , a laugh soon following . “ tylan ? popular ? ” saying his name like that only makes him feel worse , but he knows that it’s what he HAS to do to get the reaction he needs . “ what on earth have you been drinking ? ”
he hates how much it’s working , how GOOD he is at pressing these buttons , but he also can’t help but feel a sense of relief at the threat that’s all but snarled at him , finally feeling like he’s about to get what he deserves ( though he still wishes that it could all be given by the man he’s actually hurt . ) staring up at him , his smirk remains untouched , head tilting as his eyes practically GLINT at him . “ no ? ” he asks . “ it seems awfully strange you’d go to all this effort if --- ” but he doesn’t need to provoke him any longer .
the slamming sensation to his jaw leaves him reeling , a hand flying up to cover it as he swears , but he doesn’t even get the chance to catch his breath . watching as dorean shifts closer , fingers digging down deep into his neck , he WILLS himself to stand in place ; refusing to look afraid of him or to let the pain of his actions show . it isn’t until he lets go that he’s able to SPEAK again , but even with the time to gather his thoughts , his words aren’t any better than before .
“ i’m afraid i’m not really in the mood to give anyone what they want , least of all you ! ” he muses as he steps back into his space , fingers pressing against his chest as he tries to push him a step backwards . “ but you should probably be careful , dorean ! we wouldn’t want you to get in trouble with your father again now , would we ? i can’t imagine he’d be too pleased about you causing more problems ! ” tongue runs over his lips as he smirks , hoping that he would take the BAIT once again . “ so maybe you should leave while you still can ! ”

I was so scared to give up depression, fearing that somehow the worst part of me was actually all of me.

STARLCVED : SILVER .
a light blush spreads across the highest points of her cheeks, glancing down at their hands for just a moment as he reacts to her tales, a smile ever present across her lips. “ perhaps one day you might. ” words soft, but filled with a deep sense of longing for something long since passed. “ have you ever been out to sea, felix ? felt the breeze against your cheeks ? i have never found anything as thrilling. ” his next comment brings a small laugh to her lips, shaking her head lightly. “ well, perhaps one day you might meet a real pirate. ” she is purposefully cryptic in her comment, something akin to a smirk crossing her lips for a moment before it falls away at his question. “ i don’t know really. it just – it felt as though it was time. i started sailing in order to move past my fear of the sea and eventually i felt as though i had achieved my goal and it was time to move onto something new. ” a decision she might say she regretted. a small smile once more emerges against her lips, looking back up to the other with a tilt to her head. “ i do miss it though. ”
her remark has his head tilting , curious smile now GLEAMING against his lips . “ i do hope so . ” he says as he makes a mental note to himself to come back to this someday , wanting to ensure that he will actually get to see it all . laughing at her following words , his gaze leaves hers just for a second as a small flush appears on his cheeks . “ yes , i have . ” he says . “ but unfortunately i spent most of my time with my head over the side of the boat we were in . it made for a rather unpleasant experience for everyone involved . ” something he has been disappointed about ever since . brows furrow at her mention of pirates , through his smile only widens . “ they still exist ? ” he asks , but his excitement soon falls away as she goes on to speak again ; seriousness once again filling the air . waiting until she is finished before talking again , he nods slowly , fingers slowly smoothing over the back of her hands . “ well i am glad it helped you get over all that . ” he muses , assuming that she must be referencing the unfortunate LOSS of her first love . “ you should get back out there again , though ! i’d love to see you sail , even if i may ... fall a bit ill from it . should we hook you up with a boat ? make a day out of it ? ”

Hold him gently in your hands.
He has been cracked enough
as it is,
and his heart is more
shattered than he lets
on.

STARLCVED : FLOYD .
gaze drops once more to the floor at the sound of magnus’ laughter and the sarcasm drenched words that followed. it was foolish to think his promises meant anything to him any longer, magnus had been nothing if not crystal clear on that, and yet he had hoped. still he had allowed himself to hope that he could somehow change all this still. lips press together painfully in an attempt to stop the fresh wave of desperate tears from splashing against his cheeks, pleading gaze lifting to meet magnus’.
panic begins to swell within his chest at the seething hatred buried within magnus’ eyes, lips parting as though to plead once more. to tell him that if he just listened, he’d understand that this was not all some set up. some trap he had laid with the intention of ensnaring magnus. but the words freeze within his throat as magnus’ anger manifests, flinching away as his things clattered against the floor, heart all but stopping in his chest, entire body tensing with the aggression magnus was displaying, fingers curling against his palm, digging deep into his skin. an anchor, something to remind him where he was.
he knew what came next. he knew and yet still he stayed frozen at his knees, forcing himself to breathe, though it stutters harshly in his throat as the other continues his tirade, eyes squeezing closed for a moment against the memories and the nausea rising. eyes opening at magnus’ question, panic threatening to suffocate him. “ anything. ” word is weak as it leaves his lips, defeat palpable in the air around him. heart races within his chest, breath hitching the moment magnus’ hands lift, eyes slamming closed in anticipation; as though that would somehow help him. but the touch to his cheeks is softer than he’d expected, shoulders slumping now as he releases the breath he had not realised he was holding.
“ magnus, please. ” slowly blinking his eyes open, one hand uncurling, ignoring the pain his nails had left as he lifts it, fingers touching tentatively against magnus’ wrist. “ please just listen to me. whatever they told you i did ? it’s – it’s a lie okay ? it’s a lie. ” he tries to put some strength behind his words, but the break in his voice is enough to tell anyone just how desperate he was. “ they lied to me too. ” tearful gaze studies magnus carefully, brows knitting together as he attempts to string his words together. “ they told me – they told me – ” squeezing his eyes closed again, head dipping. “ they told me you were dead, magnus. they told me that it was my fault. ” words breathed quietly now, eyes remaining closed. “ please. please believe me. i – i’m begging you magnus. ”
he has him in his hands . one small movement and he’d be gone , dealt with , silenced forever . it should be an EASY thing for him to do by now ; he’s killed so many with such little thought , and floyd has really , really , pissed him off . but there’s something in floyd that still PULLS to him ; a weakness that he cannot get rid of no matter how hard he tries , and that leaves him practically powerless .
looking at him ruins him , but he can no longer bring himself to look away . the desperation in his eyes is on another level --- far more intense than men he’s seen begging for their lives , and yet ... it seems like his life is the last thing he wants . the empty takeaway boxes , the empty alcohol bottles strewn everywhere , the state he was in last night ... this isn’t a man who was living , who WANTED to live , anyway . something has ruined him , taken away his spirit ... ( much like what’s happened with him , really , though he’ll struggle to admit it ) but ... what ?
he remains quiet as he attempts to make sense of his words , hands still clutching onto his face , though his entire body goes completely rigid at the feeling of floyd’s fingers on his skin . a lie ? surely this had to be the lie ? this game , this PERFORMANCE ? yes , he’s struggling to see why he’d accept a job such as this , why he’d let his ego be crushed and destroyed by acting so ... helpless , but surely ... surely this just had to be another assignment ? just like the one from before ? surely this had to be an act ?
still , his own beliefs are faltering , brows furrowed as he all but stares at him , pleading with him with his own eyes to just somehow make this all make sense . but then comes the words he never expected to hear . they’d told him he was dead ?
he wants to laugh it off . roll his eyes , push him back against the ground , make some SPIEL about how clever this all was , despite how able he is to see through it . but when he glances around the room again , taking it all in properly ; the destruction , the mess , the sheer sight of a man living in some kind of void ... a fresh kind of weight starts to dig into his heart . his mind flashes back to the night previous ; floyd’s continuous nonsensical rambles , references to him being a ghost , how he didn’t want him to leave again , the SHOCK in his eyes whenever he touched him . and then the ring on his nightstand that he lost the last time he saw him . none of it makes sense , but neither does the fact that floyd’s employers still haven’t come for him despite him being in this flat for an entire night . he’s still staring at him , but he’s not able to see him as clearly now ; tears flooding his vision .
“ they told you i was dead . ” he whispers , but he’s not looking for confirmation ; he’s just trying to process the words for himself . the weight on his heart is heavier now , and its spreading to his chest , his throat , making it difficult for him to breathe . his eyes search his , tears now falling , fingers trembling against his skin as he CLUTCHES onto him . “ they told me that this we were a lie . that you were assigned to make me fall in love with you . you were a test that i FAILED . ” but this was one that he’s failed all on his own .
his hands drop , but he doesn’t leave him ; forehead inching forwards as it presses up against his , eyes shutting as he all but leans against him . “ they lied to both of us . and i ... i did this . ” chest is so tight now , hands fully shaking as they hang limp at his sides , away from any further damage they could cause . “ i’m ... so sorry . ”

STARLCVED : JOHNNY .
cheeks redden at his tease, glancing down with a soft laugh, one hand lifting to rub his brow. “ yes, i can imagine ! ” once more cursing his idiocy with his previous comment, though he lifts his gaze back to the other man. “ thank you ! though i suppose i’ve likely jinxed it now. ” another light laugh, turning as the machine finished grinding the beans, starting on pouring his coffee. “ oh, how frustrating for you. i thought it was expected for people to work their notice ? ” or perhaps he’d simply never had a reason not to. turning just in time to see the flush against his cheeks, a smile pulling at his lips, thankful he wasn’t the only one who felt a little flustered. “ i do care, actually ! ” clearing his throat, turning once again to finish off his drink. “ what i meant was that i don’t find the topic uninteresting ! it’s funny actually, my roommate quit his internship today too. perhaps there’s something in the water, ” pausing to set the cup down with a grin. “ careful drinking that, you might find yourself tempted into quitting too ! ” it’s a ridiculous joke, one that once more brings a flush to his cheeks. “ well, i have an interesting topic to discuss. ” a brow lifts, hand lifting to slide a leaflet across to the other. “ there’s an open mic night here this evening. you should come along ! the shop has an evening alcohol licence, what’s more interesting than music and a smidge of alcohol ? ”
“ yes , that is usually the expectation . ” he says before he looks away again , a slightly amused huff passing his lips . “ though i can’t say that i’m not surprised by him leaving so suddenly . he never seemed to have much care for rules . ” tone continues to be light despite the clear DISTASTE he has for the employee , not wishing for such a misfortune to dampen his experience here at least . gaze meets his barista’s again , more fondly this time , as he watches him finish of his drink . “ oh ? ” he muses , feeling something within him STIR at the notion of him caring , though he tries not to linger on it too much . “ how bizarre . ” smile is given as his drink is presented to him , gaze dropping as he passes the money in return , a short laugh falling from his lips at his joke . “ ah , i’m afraid that desire is already there . ” he admits quietly . “ but i will be careful about how quickly i drink this . we wouldn’t want to completely ruin the company in one swoop . ” brows furrow when he looks at him again , gaze only leaving his for a short moment to study the flyer ; a hand reaching to take it before he then collects his coffee from the side . he’s certain he’s just being told about his event because he is another customer , but he still can’t help but HOPE that there was something more to this particular invitation . “ well , i suppose that depends on the type of music that’s played and the type of alcohol that’s served ... ” he can’t imagine anything worse than a scene of rock music and cheap beer , for example . “ but if i find some time free , i might just drop by ! ” cheeks flush again , but he doesn’t attempt to shift his face away this time . pausing , he takes a moment before he speaks again , their previous conversation stuck on his mind for some reason . it must be some coincidence , but he still finds himself needing to ask him about it . “ where was it you said that your roommate worked again ? ” he says as his head tilts , smile still present on his lips . “ it wasn’t anywhere local , was it ? ”
