Lily Henituse - Tumblr Posts
The TCF fandom has literally revived my love for writing- like I enjoy bringing my ideas to life and others like them too and I just-
Anyways take this.
----------
Lily's Orabeoni was a good person.
It doesn't matter how many people call him bad names, he is a good person.
Besides, what do they know? They don't know how he held her when she was small, they don't know how he would comfort and read to her whenever she couldn't sleep, how he would leave her little gifts whenever she was feeling sad. They don't know anything.
Her eldest brother was a good person.
Basen didn't believe her when she told him how kind big brother was.
When she overhears some kids bad-mouthing her brother at mother's party, her blood boils. She runs and tackles the moron.
"Shut Up! You don't know what you're talking about!"
"Ack- Get off of me!"
The boy throws a punch and it hits but it's okay because she hits back. They get into a fistfight and her mom grounds her but it's okay because Cale is there and he understands.
('She's there under her covers, frustrated tears blurring her vision. They don't understand. That kid was talking bad about her big brother! She hears her door open and close, there's a dip at the end of her bed and Cale asks what happened. She tells him everything, because if anyone would understand, it would be Cale.
He tells her that she shouldn't have done that and that it doesn't matter if they talk bad about him but it does matter. It matters to her. And he comforts her like she knew he would and it feels like everything is going to be okay')
She is going to be a knight. Her Orabeoni has shown her how to protect with words, now she will learn with a sword.

Lily dyes her hair. Just a single streak of red to match her brother.
When she shows her older brother, she tells him with a smile 'Look, look! Now we match! ' When he gives her a hug, she pretends not to notice the slowly growing wet spot on her shoulders.

Basen... is jealous.
He's denied it for a long time but watching his big brother teach his little sister how to make flower crowns while she watches with her eyes shining in excitement- he is jealous.
Cale is his brother (does Cale think that?)
Cale his his big brother but he's never- he's always been distant. Like Lily, Basen is sure that Cale is a good person. He knows how Cale sacrificed his reputation for him and his mother, he had a front row seat. How could he not know? When the adults confronted him, Cale pretend that he threw the vase just to be mean-
Is it childish that he also wants to feel the warmth of his big brother that Lily talks so much about?
Basen, on impulse, takes some basic problems that he'd already solved from his tutor and knocks on Cale's door.
By the time the door opens he's about ready to walk away-
"What do you want?"
Cale doesn't say it like he's upset, just tired. Basen tries and fails to suppress a flinch.
"C-can you help me with some problems I'm having trouble with?"
There's a short pause. His palms are sweaty.
"Sure." 'huh-?' "Get in."
Cale opens the door wider while Basen stays still like an idiot.
Cale moves to sitting on his couch, waiting.
"Well?"
"R-right!"
Basen is nervous and excited at the same time. Is it really that easy?
Cale spends a while explaining each question, doesn't once mock him, and right now? He oddly feels- Happy.
When they're done and move to get up, Cale ruffles his hair affectionately and they both freeze.
"Oh- Sorr-"
"No no! It's fine-"
They both leave the room in opposite directions (it was a bit awkward) and Basen has never felt lighter.
He heads towards Lily's room and reluctantly admits that "yes, his headpats do feel nice- you win"
After this, Basen also understands the anger lily feels whenever he hears servants talk badly about his brother. And he has a scary realization that Cale hears this all of the time.
[The next time Cale and Lily go to the gardens to play with the flowers, they invite Basen and there he learns that people really don't know anything about Cale. Even their parents.
Basen can see the soft smiles directed at him and Lily, the patience he has when they make a small mistake, and there he feels happy]

Deruth is confused.
Lily has taken up a rebellious streak, seemingly starting fights with other children for no reason. The first time this happened, He asked lily why she hit the kid first and when Lily spoke, she teared up a bit and spoke, anger still present in her voice.
"He was saying stupid things."
Violian was shocked and so was Deruth.
They grounded Lily for the first time and both had a talk after. Deruth didn't want to admit it, but the possibility of Cale influencing her was high. Lily was still very young.
When Deruth asked Basen about this, he looked at Deruth in disbelief.
"..Are you sure?"
"I'm not saying anything is certain, just a possibility. Lily is still young."
"I... suppose so.."
(Later Basen would come into his office and take back those words.)

Deruth had just finished the paperwork for the day and went on a walk in a garden. There he found two of his children making flower crowns on a blanket and the oldest guiding them. They obviously hadn't seen him yet and Deruth paused for a moment. Cale was... smiling. That smile that he got so many compliments on, that everyone said could light up a room.
'when was the last time I've seen that smile...?'
Deruth felt his heart lighten and decided to walk up to them.
"I see you all are having fun."
"Father!"
"Hello"
Cale stopped smiling and looked tense.
"...Hello father."
Lily, noticing the awkwardness, quickly said something.
"Cale's teaching us how to make flower crowns!"
After a bit of small talk between the three (Cale staying silent), His oldest got up and placed two identical, well made flower crowns on Lily and Basen's heads.
"I just remembered I have a bit of work to do, you guys have fun"
And with a couple of headpats, Cale began to speed walk away.
"Ah- And there he goes.." Lily was pouting.
"... I think you should have told him to stay." Basen also seemed upset.
Deruth just looked helplessly towards the direction Cale walked off to. An unfinished flower crown left where he was sitting.
(The next day before breakfast, Basen handed him the flower crown from before and told him to give it to Cale during breakfast.
Contrary to Deruth's belief, Cale did show up
Near the end of breakfast, Deruth got up at the same time as Cale and nervously walked towards him. The table was silent, seemingly waiting.
Deruth held out the flower crown.
"You forgot this yesterday"
A pause, Deruth got even more nervous.
Cale hesitantly took the crown.
"..Thank you."
When Cale left, Deruth let out a shakey exhale. Lily was excited.
"Did you see his ears!?! He was happy!"
Later on, Deruth would get a report from Hans stating the usual but with a comment from Hans that would also make Deruth happy.
"The Young Master was seen wearing a flower crown all day! It was very odd.")

If anyone wants me to, I'll make a part two :>
(I also kind of want to make one- I didn't put Violan here as much as I would have liked)
If I had a nickel for everytime I dreamed that Lily was kidnapped and Og!Cale ran looking out for her, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
In the first one, Lily got kidnapped in the Capital and og!Cale instantly started running around, doing detective work but also really in panic. At some point he figured out who could have a hint on Lily's kidnapper, but the person in question was in the castle dungeons. So he went and straight entered in a room where Alberu was having a meeting with other nobles, not caring at all who was there, and asked him to sign a permission.
Og!Cale: *opens the door* Your Highness, sign this! *Slams form on the table*
Alberu, who wasn't expecting a random noble to crash his office: ...
The nobles: *shoked in victorian era* ...
Alberu: how did you got here?
Og!Cale: I flew through the third floor entry. It has my mom's name on it. More important, I'm in a hurry. So could you sign it already?
Alberu, confused as fuck because 'wdym by third floor entry? That's just a window': *reads the paper* permission to visit the dungeons? Why do—
Og!Cale, too worried to even keep his trash act and also practically a mind reader (not really): My sister was kidnapped and that guy may know where she could be. As I said, I'm in a hurry.
Alberu: That's terrible. *About to sign it* Is there any other way I can help?
Random noble: Excuse me?! Your Highness, this is not according to the protocol. I had to wait for months after my solicitude was sent to have this meeting. Why does he get a special treatment?!
Og!Cale, without paying an eye: Aren't you that Viscount that keeps wasting big sums on gifts for a mistress? *To Alberu* I guess he's asking money "for his territory". I bet he spent all his budget and is trying to hide it from his wife.
The noble: *pales* That— you— Your Highness, I can explain *faints*
Alberu: *sighs* I'll have someone investigate it. *Signs the form* Is there anything else I need to know?
Og!Cale, already exiting the room with the permission at hand: *tilts head* I've heard that people had been dissapearing in the Southwest region. *Narrows eyes* Huh. It's near the Gyerre territory now that I think about it.
Og!Cale: Anyways, goodbye. *Leaves*
Alberu, absentmindedly: So that's what father meant when he said redheads are "a crazy force of nature that could destroy a little country without force".
Antonio, who happened to be in the meeting: *silently having an existential crisis*
It turned out that the culprit was Og!Cale's past teacher (yes, that guy) who was working with traffickers. He wanted to see whether Og!Cale would resolve his "little game" or he would "lose" (have Lily sold before someone finds them). He also kinda hates her because "he lost his student by her fault" (no, it wasn't her fault. He's just crazy).
Og!Cale found out where Lily was being held and he, along with a pair of knights, went for her. All of them had a fun time beating the creepy bastard.
Then Og!Cale walked to their house carrying Lily on his arms.
In the second one, a monster-like creature broke into Lily's room, took her and flew away. Og!Cale was sitting on his bedroom's window and saw his little sister being taken away by a blurr of mass. He jumped out of the window to follow, of course. Then the knights saw a thing flying over their heads and the young master speedruning after it.
Og!Cale: Come back here!
Hillsman: Young master Cale?!
Og!Cale: What are you doing?! Stop that thing! It has Lily!
Knights: Ah! *Start chasing the thing too*
I don't know what happened next because I woke up.
I love this ( ^-^)ノ∠※。.:*:・'°☆
I like to imagine Jour with curly red hair and Deruth's hair shape(ig??) reminds me a lot about Cale.
Cale got the red color from his mom and the hair texture from his dad.
:3

Design HCs and stuff, I’m still learning how to draw noses and stuff but Deruth, Lily, and Cale all have high nose bridges that’s what I meant by nose shape
The extra stuff is just like design distinctions that wouldn’t be super obvious in a more detailed style buuut yeah
And the creepy smile is a Thames trait, they all have a scary smile I think it’s unavoidable if ur a Thames

What happens when the Henituse siblings get social media in like seven years
