“ oh, no, not at all ! being a barbarian is more of a profession, really. ” she paused to think of a better way to explain it. noticing aurora’s glance, she spun around her notebook, opening it to the first page and welcoming aurora to read it through. she chuckled. “ and yes, he’s very sweet. so you see, even though he may have the … the traits of a barbarian, in his heart, he’s really quite gentle. but when he fights … ” belle beamed, “ everyone better watch out. he protects those he loves very dearly. ”

“ of course ! the merriest. there’s so many — it’s on the third page if you want a quick list, ” she said in a stage whisper, pretending like it was side commentary as she tapped lightly on her notebook. “ so in the game you can be certain types of characters. you could be a paladin, or a wizard, or a ranger, or a bard. if you choose a class, they all follow the common traits of that class but everyone has a different story. and it’s all up to you. ” 

belle gave a satisfied sigh as she finished. “ how am i doing ? i hope it hasn’t been too confusing. ”

            HER MIND INSTANTLY BEGAN TO PICTURE  what  a  ' professional  barbarian '  would  look  like ,  and  aurora  found  the  image  to  be  rather  funny .  then ,  as  always ,  she  imagined  philip  as  said  barbarian ,  and  the  idea  made  her  laugh .  she  would  never  tell  him ,  but  being  a  barbarian  sounded  more  exciting  than  working  at  the  gym !  ❛  in  that  case ,  he  seems  like  a  hero  to  me .  after  all ,  isn't  that  what  heroes  do ?  protect  those  they  love ?  ❜  she  rests  her  chin  on  the  palm  of  her  hand ,  ❛  though  i  suppose  anyone  could  be  a  hero .  isn't  that  wonderful ? ❜

            following  the  brunette's  instructions ,  she  quickly  flipped  to  the  third  page ,  already  all  too  excited  despite  the  overwhelming  amount  of  information .  it  was  a  lot  easier  to  deal  with  the  feeling  of  ' too  much  at  once '  when  it  came  from  something  aurora  was  genuinely  interested  in .  as  she  continued  to  read  through  it  all ,  her  eyes  sparkled  with  interest ,  gaze  lifting  towards  belle .  ❛ which  class  do  you  think  i'd  like  the  most ?  well ,  not  me  but  my  character ,  that  is .  i  have  to  say  i'm  not  the  greatest  fighter ,  so ... ❜

            ❛ oh  no ,  no !  don't  worry  about  it ,  please , ❜  a  chuckle  escapes  her .   ❛  i'm  the  one  who  should  be  worried  about  bombarding  you  with  so  many  questions .  i  do  apologize ,  i  just  don't  have  much  experience  with  these  sorts  of  games .  i  think  my  aunts  didn't  know  much  other  than  hide  &  seek . ❜

🗡️ ⠀  ⠀ ⠀  ⠀ ───────────     philip   and   aurora   weren’t   completely   codependent   on   each   other.   while   the   pair   liked   to   be   in   each   other   space   a   good   amount   they   were   still   individuals   outside   of   each   other.   philip   just   loved   his   wife   immensely.   he   saw   no   problem   with   that.   as   comfortable   as   their   little   bubble   was,   philip   knew   that   he   had   to   leave   it.   if   he   wanted   normality   like   he   claimed   he   needed   to   get   an   actual   job.   living   as   a   prince   in   disguise   could   only   get   him   so   far   in   life.   working   at   the   gym   allowed   philip   to   just   feel   like   himself   for   once.   no   rules,   no   responsibilities,   no   pressure   from   anyone   for   philip   to   be   anyone   but   him.   eventually   they   would   have   to   go   back   to   Ylisse   and   be   the   king   and   queen   aurora’s   people   deserved   but   for   now   philip   could   pretend   they   were   just   a   normal   couple,   with   average   lives   and   no   curse   looming   over   their   heads.   “   i   am   full   of   bold   statements,   mon   coeur.   however,   that   could   be   why.   ”      he   dramatically   shuddered   at   the   image   of   sweaty   people   -   all   in   good   fun   of   course.   a   soft   chuckle   left   his   lips   as   their   noses   brushed   together.      “   long   but   good   nonetheless   how   was   yours   ?   ”      he   asked,   lifting   the   flowers   before   his   wife.      “   why,   yes,   they   are   indeed   for   you.   ”

         ❛  OH ,  I KNOW YOU ARE !  it’s  one  of  my  favorite  things  about  you ,  ❜  confessed  with  a  innocent  giggle ,  head  shaking  when  he  shuddered  at  the  mention  of  sweaty  people .  aurora  figured  it  couldn’t  be  the  most  pleasant  of  environments  to  be  in  but ,  well ,  philip  seemed  very  content .  at  the  end  of  the  day ,  isn’t  that  what  truly  matters ?  ❛  mine  was  lovely ,  but  it’s  better  now .  i  wasn’t  counting  on  you  coming  home  early  though ,  clearly ,  ❜  she  tells  him  with  a  nod  towards  the  slight  mess  she’s  made ,  which  isn’t  truly  messy  at  all .  just  enough  to  make  it  obvious  that  the  blonde  had  been  working  on  something .  as  her  smile  grew  bigger ,  aurora  planted  a  small  kiss  on  philip’s  lips  before  taking  the  flowers  in  her  hands .  ❛  thank  you ,  mon  cher .  you  didn’t  have  to ,  ❜  but  then  again ,  she  did  appreciate  small  yet  meaningful  surprises .  they  didn’t  even  have  to  be  flowers  or  anything  material ;  any  time  philip  did  something  she  wasn’t  quite  expecting ,  which  happened  more  often  than  aurora  would  like  to  admit ,  she  loved  it .  looking  around  for  an  empty  vase  to  put  the  flowers  in ,  the  princess  hummed  lightly  until  she  found  the  perfect  one ,  then  proceeded  to  make  her  way  over  to  the  living  room .  ❛  are  you  tired ?  ❜  she  called ,  ❛   i  could  use  some  help  with  the  cake  i’m  making ,  but  you’re  not  allowed  to  eat  it .  it’s  for  a  very  important  guest  &  i’m  not  sure  he’d  appreciate  a  huge  chunk  missing  from  his  cake !  ❜  she  muses  with  a  giggle ,  making  her  way  back  to  philip ,  ❛  or  i  can  make  tea  for  us  and  finish  working  on  that  while  you  tell  me  all  about  your  gym  adventures  and  any  familiar  faces  you  might’ve  encountered .  ❜

        ✿ ° • ∘ ₊  featuring sorrel & aurora  (  @dawnsrose​​ ​ )  !

    her mouth contorts softly, fluttering eyelashes looking at her surroundings innocently. she’s been sitting about for what felt like hours in the lone picnic table. her fingers tapped against the rose-tinted papers before her, pen tucked in her hand lazily. how does one start these things ? she wasn’t sure. were love letters even in fashion anymore ? she supposes a quick text would be easier . . not that it mattered anyway. for one, she had no clue what his name was. the charming man that garnered all of her attention for the few minutes he stood before her. second, she wasn’t planning on ever sending it. not even to the hands she so badly wanted it to reach. the thought makes sorrel groan lightly, head plopping against the counter and scattered papers, strands of hair falling dramatically. 

   a pause. ideas continue to dance around her head as if she was unable to drown them out. just constant buzzing. finally, she decides to repeat one aloud in order to see if it sounded just right. ‘ i think you’re beautiful — would you like to have tea with me ? ’

            THE HABIT OF BUYING FRESH FLOWERS  every  other  week  had  become  one  of  aurora's  favorite  things  to  do ,  a  sort  of  self - care  ritual  she'd  started  partaking  in  since  she  came  to  elias .  after  marrying  philip ,  the  need  to  buy  her  own  decreased  greatly ;  he'd  also  developped  a  taste  for  surprising  her  with  roses  every  other  day .  the  princess  absolutely  loved  the  gesture ,  but  it  hadn't  stopped  her  from  venturing  into  minnie's  flower  shop  whenever  possible .  it  only  meant  she  now  had  to  buy  a  couple  extras ;  for  philip  and  samson ,  naturally .

            as  the  blonde  crossed  the  park  on  her  way  home ,  a  basket  of  roses ,  carnations ,  tulips  and  forget - me - nots  in  hand ,  her  thoughts  wondered  mindlessly  until  she  heard  a  small  yet  gentle  voice ,  almost  bird - like  in  it's  sweetness .  the  inquiry  made  her  eyes  widen  in  surprise ,  the  faintest  touch  of  pink  appearing  on  aurora's  cheeks .  she  was  used  to  compliments  from  her  husband ,  yes ,  but  it  was  nice  to  receive  them  from  a  stranger .  ❛  why  thank  you ,  you're  very  kind ...  i  do  love  tea ,  ❜  and  the  girl  looked  considerably  harmless .  sure ,  the  princess  knew  she  had  to  be  wary  and  careful  of  whom  she  spoke  with ,  but  didn't  she  also  deserve  to  continuously  increase  her  circle  of  friendships ?  wasn't  that  important ?  ❛  um ,  i'm  sorry  but  is  this  a  habit  of  yours ,  complimenting  strangers  &  inviting  them  for  tea ?  don't  get  me  wrong ,  i  think  it's  wonderful !   i'm  just ...  not  used  to  it .❜
