A loud yawn escapes him. Seems like he stayed up late reading some of his knight books again. ( 💧 )
Ashe would give the other a nod and a smile. "All we can do is hope for the best. Maybe our attitude will change other's thoughts about chivalry."
Xander@paragonknight.bsky.social · 2w agoNeither shall I. Though I hope our chivalrous attitude and actions help change many a mind to coincide with ours."
Alright! Next time, we can make that! It'll be fun. ( he would smile wide, already looking forward to it )
Ingrid Brandl Galatea@luinsgrace.bsky.social · 2w agoYou know I have a preference for something with meat in it, maybe shashlik? It’s one of my favourites!
/ fuck my chungus life, i thought i followed riri's dimi on here. OOPS. better late than never.
"I'm sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to lose a parent as well."
Ryder Hamilton@cautiouschessmster.bsky.social · 2w ago"It's simple. My adoptive father was murdered by my adoptive brother. I cannot let that go unpunished."
I will not force them. It is better they come to this realization on their own.
Xander@paragonknight.bsky.social · 2w agoCertainly one day they shall. If only to realize the error of their ways.
Yes. Like a date! Is there a specific dish you want to make? ( he smiles wide. he's so happy she said yes. he moves to find them both a table where they can talk more together, just the two of them )
Ingrid Brandl Galatea@luinsgrace.bsky.social · 2w agoLike…-a date. [She’s agreeing! As much as her flush is back in full force. Oh she hopes Sylvain isn’t in the mess hall right now or she’ll get teased to high hell about this.] That sounds nice. Peaceful, even.
.....guess who has a date with Ingrid? ( it's him! that's who! )
"Alright. I will not argue with about this. I am curious, why do you have such goals?"
Ryder Hamilton@cautiouschessmster.bsky.social · 2w ago"Perhaps so. But you still have more noble goals than mine. Living up to the knights of yore is something worth celebrating. But I could never live up to someone like the "Undesiring Strategist" Pan."
That'd be probably be better. Okay, we can plan a night and cook together. Like a date. ( they did just confess their feelings for each other, it's only natural to ask her on a date after all )
Ingrid Brandl Galatea@luinsgrace.bsky.social · 2w agoIt’s hard to be displeasing with food, perhaps we should merely plan a night to cook? [Right, miss eats everything with zero waste is beside him. She would hate to let anything go uneaten.
It's quite alright. I don't mind teaching you. I could teach you all that I know and then some. ( he moved his free hand to tap his chin for a few moments ) I got it! We can make our own food if there's something in the dinning hall that we don't like.
Ingrid Brandl Galatea@luinsgrace.bsky.social · 2w ago[Her face lights up at the suggestion—she does love food a whole lot. It comes from having faced famine and learning not to take it for granted.] I would love to, Ashe! I may not perfect in a kitchen, but I know a bit—enough not to be completely underfoot.
He would give a nod. "We are alike in another way. You aren't the only one who is a little shady." He gulped.
Ryder Hamilton@cautiouschessmster.bsky.social · 2w agoHe crosses his arms, his tone calm yet much more serious. "You don't get into the occupation of a strategist without being at least a little shady. Besides, I've spent the last five years waiting for a chance at revenge. I may have judged Dimitri for his behavior, but I'm not any better."
( her love of food was no secret. but that had only made him curious.....maybe he could cook for her? would that be too bold? well, they did just confess their feelings for each other. that thinking would have to wait as they are soon in the dinning hall ) --
Ingrid Brandl Galatea@luinsgrace.bsky.social · 2w ago[Who needs a lady and her knight when you have: two knights! But she’s allowing herself to bask in this warmth as she considers what might be served today for dinner. Girl loves food, okay.]
It's a saying that I heard. I didn't expect anyone to hear me ( 💧 ) ( He's a bit flustered )
Xander@paragonknight.bsky.social · 2w agoI didn't say it was a problem. You're welcome to stare all you like. I simply wish to know why you would be doing that. [ As a monarch, he'll have to be quite familiar with the stares of his people. This is nothing. ]
His smile fades some as he gives a slight frown. "And why do you say that, Ryder?"
Ryder Hamilton@cautiouschessmster.bsky.social · 2w agoHe chuckles. "Perhaps they are. Then again, since they like me, perhaps they aren't."
( it does sound quite familiar, who would've thought! ) Sorry! I'll stop starring if it makes you comfortable....
Xander@paragonknight.bsky.social · 2w agoAn honor to make your acquaintance, Ashe. I am Xander, King of Nohr. To what do I owe the pleasure of your staring at me in such a fashion? (Spoken like he is not a tall, blonde, imposing king. Sounds familiar?)
The tips of ears tint red at that comment. He just laughs it off. "I suppose cats are great judges of character."
Ryder Hamilton@cautiouschessmster.bsky.social · 3w ago"...True, I suppose it makes sense. You truly have a kind heart."
But of course, my knight! ( he beams wide, hand in hand, he goes to walk in the direction of the dinning hall. sure, they have went to the dining hall together in the past, but something about going there this time is quite different. a good kind of different )
Ingrid Brandl Galatea@luinsgrace.bsky.social · 2w ago[Handholding, scandalous. Especially without gloves! But she happily takes his hand, nodding slightly.] Lead the way, my knight.
