Fantasy Howl's Flying Castle (Finished! ---Whoo! (*＾▽＾)／)

Renee raised an eyebrow at him when he questioned it before shaking her head. "Yes, spend time with Lydia."

She smiled when he suggested somethings and she put in her input. "Sure or maybe after this battle is done, you can eat together with Lydia during lunch or dinner." Whatever the time they can eat and celebrate their wins. That would be awesome.

". . .Or maybe help her with something or just hangout like friends would. Do something together that the both of you will enjoy, so you might want to consider what she likes too, Sweetie." Renee suggested.

James felt all marshmallow-y inside at 'rest of our lives', and sank a few more inches down the wall. He had a goofy smile on. Marriage with Lydia . . . he can't wait to sleep together, hug, and then bite that plump cheek in the mornings. He was already doing the first two, maybe he could try that tomorrow. Nibble on Lydia's cheek while she's sleeping.

He wanted to point out that there'd be more time for other things since she'd be cleaning and doing the laundry by hand, whilst he could just wave his hand as he casted his spells, but then she kissed the corner of his mouth and he was all flubbery again. Kissed him full on the lips and it helped him consider what she said.

He opened his eyes when their lips pulled away. He hugged her, looking at the ground, thinking. "Okay." he nodded, hesitantly. "It's just that, you offered to snuff out Bertrand with me, be my partner, you gave me your kerchief and stayed with me even after I hurt you when I was thinking about seeing what it'd be like to be with an ex again, you learned how to cook my favorite food, you spoon fed me and stayed with me when I was sick, you touch my hair and sing to me when I'm sad and let me rest with you, you let me sleep with you, kiss, and hug you too, you gave me the fish book clips, and you make me so happy" his expression slowly became happier as he recalled these things. "I just want to be worthy of all of that."

He rubbed the back of his neck, then looked up at Lydia in thought, adoration, and something like trying to figure something out. "I have trouble accepting this . . . I am happy that I don't have to prove myself. I feel more peaceful. But sometimes when I think again about all the wonderful things you've done for me, I can't help but want to do as much."

"I've noticed that she likes clothes. We could go shopping together!" said Seifer excitedly. "Chingpo had good quality, and yes, eat together. That sounds much better." He finished the rest of his breakfast with a flourish. "Maybe we could start with marching to the front lines together? I know Lydia has her own company and you too, Renee, so maybe we could somehow have them travel one after the other. Let's go look for her and ask her?"

Renee giggled, her wings fluttering happily at his enthusiasm on bonding as they finished their plates. "Of course. Maybe we can start planning on ideas too, just in case something bad happens..." Considering who they are up against, she wouldn't be surprised if Valdanr knew what they were planning.

"If James is there, we can ask him to join in too. The more the merrier...as he says." As the couple stood up and left the dining halls together (after washing their plates first), Renee wrapped an arm around his and went of to look for Lydia.

Lydia smiled at James affectionately as they separated, leaning into him and closing her eyes as he hugged her before looking back to him again when he was done speaking and giving him a slight smile of disbelief, "you don't have to prove that you're worthy just to be loved."

She cupped his jaw in her hand and looked into his eyes earnestly, "and you don't have to rush yourself to do things for me all at once... you do plenty to make me happy and like I said... we have the rest of our lives," she nuzzled him softly and gave him another smooch, "just focus on us winning so we can make the world right again so that we can have all the time to be together."

"Really? " said James, insecure. "Is that how it normally is?" he added from her smile of disbelief.

He thought for a while after her smooch, then nodded. "Alright, Lydia, I'll focus on winning." he said definitively. Below them, Seifer and Renee who were arm-in-arm, were walking around. They seemed to be searching as they paused passing soldiers to ask them something. "Oh, perfect timing." said James, spotting them. He cupped his hands over his mouth.

"RENEE! COULD YOU COME UP HERE FOR A MOMENT?!"

Seifer spotted the two up the tower and pointed. He too cupped his hands and yelled, "LYDIA, LET'S MARCH TO THE FRONTLINES TOGETHER AND THEN TALK AND EAT DINNER TOGETHER LATER OR LUNCH!"

[Roleplay Skittle]

Her shoulders raised slightly under the woolly black poncho she wore, "I don't know... but it's how it is for me," and she honestly didn't know how it was for other couples because it wasn't something she had ever discussed with anyone really and at that thought she blinked slightly before her thoughts were disrupted by James words and she looked down where he was looking and smiled slightly, wincing as James yelled.

She couldn't help but laugh as the two boys yelled back and forth before giving Seifer a startled, wide eyed look, her gaze turning to James like she obviously didn't understand where that was coming from, "u-um..." she hesitantly cupped one of her hands around her mouth, "O-Okay?" she looked at James again and shrugged her shoulders slightly, curious at what this sudden interest in having a meal with her so specifically. Maybe she was mistaken and he was just inviting her with the group?

Renee listened to the soldier that passed by and jumped in surprise when she heard James' voice from above. She looked up and grinned when she spotted Lydia was, indeed, with him. Then she bit her bottom lip as Seifer yelled as well, trying to not laugh at the weirdness of this whole thing. So...one couple was looking for the other couple's partner? That's really weird and funny!

Then again Seifer yelling that out of nowhere would probably confuse the tiny witch and by the looks of it, she was right. So having enough (already) with the yelling, she changed into her avian form and flew up with Seifer in her talons. Then she put him down and landed right after with a few flaps of her wings and settled.

"You called? We actually wanted to talk with the both of you too."

"Could you cast Aqua Curare, Renee? I want to show Lydia my soul room." said James. Then he thought a moment. "Did you want it to be just the two of us?" he turned to Lydia.

[Roleplay Skittle]

Lydia glanced at James upon his request and smiled happily, looking to Renee a moment before back at James when he asked if she wanted them to be alone, "Well... if you let Renee in, you'll probably have to let Seifer in so..." she looked at Seifer, an eyebrow raised, "Seifer, do you think you can control yourself?" the question was somewhat teasing but serious at the same time.

"Yes, I can control myself." said Seifer, reassuringly. "That joke wasn't a good one."

'You're not coming.' was what James wanted to say, but upon looking at his sister, he remembered promising to her before that he would give Seifer a chance. So, he just grunted at him.

"Alright then, I'm going to go ask Echo if she'd like to see too." said James, standing up. Echo had been kind of sad lately, and he wondered if some company with friends would help cheer her up some. He went down the stairs to look for the fawn.

"Hey, Echo!" he greeted. "Lydia, Renee, and Seifer are visiting my soul room. Want to come with us?"

[Katsuya]

Renee listened in, preparing her spell as Lydia, James, and Seifer talked a bit. She looked up when her brother mentioned about Echo and smiled warmly as he climbed down to find her. Then she looked over at Lydia, pondering about something before shaking her head and sighed quietly.

One of Echo's ears perked up at James' greet, her green eyes looking over to where he was before looking down to where she was checking on the soon to be ripe fruit. Maybe she needed a change of pace? "Sure James, why not?" Said the red headed fawn, grinning at him with appreciation. "I would love to see how your soul looks like."

[Roleplay Skittle]

At Seifer's answer, Lydia smiled warmly and gave a nod, her gaze turning back to James as she pondered what might be going through his head by examining his expression, a brief giggle slipping from her before she looked back at Seifer with her eyebrows raised, shrugging slightly.

A nod was given to James as he departed to seek out Echo, her hands coming to clasp in front of her waist, she glanced at Renee when she caught the shake of her head and heard the sigh, her brow furrowing slightly, "something wrong?"

[Katsuya]

"Hm?" Renee blinked, not expecting anybody to notice. She grinned at Lydia, hoping that would ease her worry. "No. Nothing's wrong. I was just-" The Pendragon sister wanted to word this out right. "I was just thinking and getting rid of an idea that popped in my head. That's all."

Lydia tilted her head to the side slightly as she looked at Renee curiously for a moment before shrugging her shoulders slightly and scratching her neck where the collar of her poncho seemed to rub against her skin slightly, "okay."

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

Renee lightly giggled and sighed again. There was a soft smile on her face. She can hear 'clops' climbing up the ladder with Echo's voice echoing in the greenhouse.

"If you or anyone else want to, you can come in my soul room too." Echo said loudly enough for the rest of the group to hear and letting them know that she's comfortable with letting them in if they want to.

- James Pendragon -
" Soul Room "​

"Alright, we're doing it up at the tower." said James, and climbed up the ladder together with Echo. "I'd like to see your soul room too, Echo. I wonder if it's got lots of plants like my sister's." When they reached the top, he moved the plates aside and drank the last of his coffee to make room for Echo.

Then, sitting beside Lydia and holding her hand, he nodded at Renee. "Ready."; Seifer, who had noticed the awkward air earlier, but pretended he didn't sense anything, stopped talking about how a friend of his had a vertical garden at is family's estate, then sat behind his girlfriend, wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"I'm ready too, baby."

After Renee cast her spell the group would find themselves without James, but in a spacious place as large as a cathedral, but seemed to be only filled with shelves upon shelves of books. There was a constant fluttering in the air as clouds of owls flew here and there, pushing books back inside shelves with their beaks, or else pulling them out with their talons to fly to the far end of the room and up the stairs. There was a constant flock of them going up and down these stairs.

All had a cozy Victorian feel. The ground was carpeted wood, and here and there large eyes blinked at them from within all sorts of owl homes that looked like miniature houses. Before, when Renee came here for the first time there were toilet paper sticking out of the books as bookmarks, but now there were fish book clips.

There was another thing that was different too. There was now large aquariums melded into the shelves. Lydia would recognize the mini-memories playing in the aquariums as those times they spent exploring under water places.

Trinkets such as shurikens, waterproof fireworks, odd plants, a complete collection of manly Echo figurines in different poses along with other Heroes of Holt goods, a violin with sheets of music, a mirror, and large framed paintings clearly made by Renee decorated the giant library. At first glance they seemed to clash with the cozy Victorian design, but if one would look closely they all had a place here, such as their own table or corner just dedicated to those things and were as they should be.

There was something white and feathery, with plants and branches sticking out from its back hulking through the library and reading. It was Pond. The giant owl bear had a little book she was squinting at on one claw, while in the other she held a giant water pail and was watering what seemed to be heads of hippos that were yawning, snoring, shaking their heads, or opening their big mouths to drink the water on the ground. The hippo heads were nestled in many types of leaves and if one looked closely, some of the hippos were sprouting alchemical ingredients from their ears, or were partly watermelon, or had glowing mushroom cap hats. Those with flowers had big fluffy bees buzzing around them with pollen.

Once everyone settled with her rubbing her cheek on his, Renee let the shimmering spell swirl around them so they can touch it and she plants her hands on James' chest.

Once they were in, Renee blinked and smiled at all the different things in James' soul. "So he did change..." She said warmly, looking at the aquariums and the fish bookmarks that replaced the toilet paper ones. Then she looked at the corner that seem to hold her paintings and the mirror, touched that James really does care a lot more now. The evidence is obvious as she can see it in front of her. She sighed again as the thought she had before shaking it off was answered just by looking around. "Hello again!" She greeted to the owls that are flying around and the ones inside their little homes.

Feeling like she should fit in the soul room again, the Pendragon sister changed her simple white dress to a pastel orange button up shirt with the collar folded. Her shirt is tucked into her black and long high-waist skirt that reached down to the floor; as always she was bare-footed. Her hair was pinned up into a high and full bun that spun and tucked by the side instead of usual twist to the middle, held together with a simple paintbrush as she felt like it was appropriate. She even has her single braid beside her face with a single blue ribbon, the same hue as the ribbon that's tied under the collar and around her neck into a thin bow.

Echo, not used to being in soulrooms yet, didn't notice that her outfit changed as well. Her wavy hair is loose and held back by a dark green sash like a headband with trinkets like beads and tiny braids decorating her hair. Her long dull red robe trailed behind her as she walked around, antlers decorated with small pots of strange plants and white ribbons. Underneath her robe(that's held together with another sash) are bandages wrapped around her chest and puffy dark brown pants that reach down to her ankles. Her ears has flower piercings too.

The fawn couldn't help but laugh when she saw all the Holt figurines, pointing at them when Renee looked over at her curiously. The Pendragon sister shook her head in amusement, giggling before she explored and saw Pond with a book in one claw and watering plants with the other. Echo took a closer look at the strange and funny hippos while Renee held Seifer's hand while waving at Pond.

"Hi Pond! Can you show us where James is?"

Zer0 Roleplay Skittle

 

[Roleplay Skittle]

Lydia was grateful for the moment of uncomfortable silence between herself, Renee and Seifer to be over. She had actually welcomed the choice of conversation that Seifer had brought up because it made it a little less weird, talking about the solarium that used to stand in her own home right there in the city that was now little more than ruins and the fort where they stood at that moment. The thought making her a bit melancholy and regardless of where her mind wandered she still couldn't help but wonder where the discomfort had come from. When Echo and James arrived, she smiled warmly to both of them and gave James' hand a squeeze as he sat beside her and held her hand.

Once they were inside, it became evident that Lydia had grown more adept at conjuring up things with her mind as her appearance inside was not the same as it had been outside, though everyone present except for Echo would recognize the look from her own soul room: the simple blue gown with a low decolletage, her hair left down and combed to a shine, as well as all the same runes she had in her own soul room with the addition of the ones that she had actually gotten on the outside. There was also the addition of the earrings that she had gotten during the Ascension ceremony and for some reason she was carrying around a branding iron with the seal they planned to use on Valdanr.

As she looked around James' soul room she couldn't help but bounce on her toes slightly, an excited smile on her face as she carefully, but hurriedly rushed here and there, examining every little detail of his soul room and smiling warmly about the things she recognized such as the book clips and the aquariums that played out the memories of their underwater explorations and that got her to wondering if James wouldn't want to live somewhere like Chingpo and then she thought of the talk of gardens and her family's solarium, wondering if at the very least he'd want a solarium with a large aquarium of exotic fish.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she spotted Pond, giggling slightly at the sight of the hippo plants and honestly wondering what that was about and watching as she tended to the unusual... well she actually wasn't sure if she should call them plants or animals because they seemed to be neither and both at the same time.

- James Pendragon -
" Soul Room "​

Pond waved at the group; Seifer exclaiming he just realized how tall she was. There was a sort of enchantment in this place, because everywhere Lydia walked, a warm glow off crisscrossing runes patterned in leaves would run in spirals across the carpet like fishes of light. She was welcome here, and the fluttering seemed to mellow wherever she went as the owls would become pleasantly sleepy whenever she was nearby.

The owl bear nodded at Renee, and pointed to the stairs at the far end of the room, where a figure in oriental uniform like the one they wore hiking through the Storm Wall lands, slid down the railing; the hippos stared back at Echo and Lydia, tilting their heads at them curiously.

"You're here! I knew you'd come one day." said James as he came running from behind a corner, then tackled Lydia. "I've wanted to hug souls with you for a long time." She could feel his heart beating with joy. This James looked like the James of the outside, with his feather hair braid, and intelligent placid black eyes, except that he seemed lighter to the touch, as though Lydia could lift him easily and not break a sweat. "Welcome to my soul room, everyone!" he grinned at the others.

He hugged Echo, saying that they'll get her father back, then Renee, kissing her on the forehead, before turning to Seifer and putting out a hand to shake.

Seifer looked at it surprised. "Are we . . . friends?"

"No, but it's a start." said James.

Seifer shrugged. "Good enough for me." they shook hands.

James, holding Lydia's hand, showed them all around his library. There were many spaces that looked like familiar places such as a set up akin to the atelier in Kenren's master warship, and Historia's house. There was even a figure of the historian cooking pipi shells and talking, though it seemed to be a playback of a memory.

He led them to the second floor, where they beheld the center room guarded by ethereal stags with lightning eyes, and here there was an unfinished mural on the floor instead of the old spell circle Renee saw. The mural, upon close inspection were puzzle pieces. It seemed to be of a place, but it was uncertain as to what kind of place it was. Was it the flying castle, Lydia's family's country home as viewed from her soul room, a book café somewhere, or an ancient ruin? Two figures, though for certain were there, and that was: Lydia with a big fluffy dog panting beside her absentmindedly.

On the walls of this center room, which formed something like a dome, hung paintings and paintings of all the people James knew in his life. All moving, all in a particular scene. And the biggest painting of all, was one of Lydia, followed by Renee, Sasha, Sen, Seth. his family, Johnny, Echo, Serena, Chenglei, Kenren, and the soldiers they became close with in their journey.

[Katsuya]

Renee grinned when she heard his exclamation, nuzzling his shoulder with her cheek when Pond pointed where James is; Echo tilted her head back at the Hippos, curious herself. So she waved at them with a small smile. When he came from sliding down the rail and hugged Lydia, Echo hugged back, touched as she squeezed him back. "Thank you James."

When he hugged Renee and kissed her forehead, her wings flapped happily; she hugged back as well and cupped his cheeks so she can kiss his forehead too. She's happy to see that he kept the feather braid in here as she lets him go. Then when she saw James willing to shake hands with Seifer and saying it's a start, her eyes widened as her face heated up. Wings are flapping again.

"Renee, your face...it's red." Echo muttered which Renee just took a deep breathe. "I'm just...really really really happy..." She muttered before grabbing Seifer's hand again and smiled brightly. As they followed James who showed them around, Echo became fascinated. So this is how another person's soul looks like. She thought everyone's gonna be like Serena's; really surreal or well it's still surreal right now just not in a ... cheery cheery field or random items.

When they reached the paintings with the stags guarding the door, Renee looked at the floor first and smiled widely. Not wanting to step on the puzzle of his dream that's slowly being put together, she looked up where she can see the huge paintings and -

Oh how she wanted to jump up in glee....so she did while clapping like an idiot. Her wings are flapping again as Echo gaped at the wide space before looking down at the floor and she wanted to know why Renee is happy about this? So she asked.

"That's his dream which he's putting together right now." Renee said, gesturing the floor. "That's how much he cares about others...and I'm glad they are finally moving this time too." She remembered them being static, still like before he didn't want them to move on their own without his permission; now it's like he's enjoying them moving around so much.

"It's awesome, James!!" She exclaimed, giggling as her wings didn't stop flapping at all. She remembered telling James long time ago that she didn't care if he put someone else first as long he's happy. Now that she knows he really is happy, shown in his soul room, Renee is not going to forget about it. Not at all.

[Roleplay Skittle]

In her careful scrutiny of James' soul room Lydia couldn't help but notice the the reaction of everything around her as she moved about, the feel of the soft carpet as the runic leaf patterns spread out under her footsteps thrummed warmly inside of her, her own individual reaction to James' soul's acceptance of her. She looked around to see if the patterns were appearing for anyone else as they walked and if the owl's calmed just as much.

The reaction of the hippos made her giggle slightly. They were really cute and she wondered if they were there because of Pond or if Pond was just taking care of them for James.

Her steady smiled brightened as James appeared, looking dapper in his oriental uniform and she squeaked softly as he tackled her, all those strands of her smooth black hair fanning out behind her. She hugged him tightly, pressing her cheek against his chest and laughing slightly, "of course!" Stepping away as he greeted everyone else and giggling at the interaction between James and Seifer, their's would probably be the most difficult relationship to mend, but it was a start.

Lydia's arm swayed slightly as James' held her hand and she continued to look around, smiling as she saw the memory playback of Historia, "you know... before I met you, I thought I would become like Historia..." she glanced to James warmly, "though I didn't plan on eating mollusks shell and all."

As they approached the room guarded by the stags, Lydia's mouth formed a little oh shape and squeezed James' hand, "Algiz also means elk... but you probably already knew that... it does kind of remind me of antlers..." the relationship between the two was interesting to her since the rune meant protection and that he had a duo of elk guarding this inner part of his soul room was very fitting.

Lydia's steps stopped entirely when they approached the mural that was being put together. She gazed intently at the image, obviously in thought before a smile started to form slowly on her lips and growing into a bright grin. She had a faint idea of what this image meant and that idea was secured by what Renee had to say and at the realization she wrapped her arms around James, "oh James..." her voice quivered slightly with her words and she buried her face against his chest. She nodded slightly as Renee exclaimed and leaned back slightly to look up at James, a single tear streaking down her cheek but a content smile on her face.

"Thanks, sis!" grinned James, giving her the thumbs up.

Seifer, who was watching Renee clapping in joy had a warm expression on his face. He looked at what made her so happy. 'First it's me and James getting along, and now it's being happy because her brother is happy.' He had never really taken being friends with Lydia very, very seriously. Just something like a passing thing where they would be acquaintances and that was that, but he wondered if being friends with her would make Renee this happy too. It probably would and he thought of something to say to her.

James had chuckled when Lydia remarked about becoming like Historia, asking if that was to be a researcher. "You'd be eating sandwiches." and looked on thoughtfully when she had mentioned Algiz meant elk. "I knew, you taught me. Isn't it interesting, Lydia, that my guardian spirit is a stag, and the symbol of your shielding rune is a stag? I also like --- or rather, love owls, and you have big owlish eyes?" he pressed foreheads with her.

He hugged her when she wrapped her arms around him, ears red and with that half-pleased look where his happy shy smile won out. "Yes, that's my dream, Lydia!" he beamed at her, before cuddling her tight. "I'm glad you like it." he gazed into her eyes for a moment before smooching her.

"Though, I'm not completely sure what dog you want, or- or if you want a dog." he started to ramble, the dog on the mural changing into a bossy looking cat. "I'm still figuring out what else to fill my life with. I made up my mind not to join the Wizengamot. And about what you said . . . about before you met me you'd be like Historia. What do you want to be now?"

Renee smiled brightly at James, giving back a dorky thumbs up. Then she looked over at Seifer, noticing his warm expression at her, and she blushed again. With her wings fluttering and coyly covering her bashful smile, she made her way back to Seifer and gently wrapped an arm around his; giving it a light squeeze.

She raised an eyebrow curiously as Seifer stayed quiet this whole time, pondering what he's thinking about right now but then she shook her head. She's not going to ask, not because she didn't want to know; but because she wanted to see what he will do. So Renee stood there while gazing at the mural on the floor, giggling lightly when it changed from dog to cat.

Echo snorted when she saw the bossy looking cat. "Hahah.....I bet this cat thinks she's a queen."

Zer0 Roleplay Skittle

 

[Roleplay Skittle]

A soft laugh and a nod escaped her when he mentioned the sandwiches, "and meatbuns!" And likely anything else that was some sort of substance made of dough that could be stuffed with anything sweet or savory and held in one hand. She smiled when he said that she taught him what Algiz meant, she hadn't realized it before since he had been learning about spell circles long before she had even stumbled across runes but she was glad that they learned from each other as they did and as he made the comparisons between the things that were familiar to both of them her expression turned somewhat serious, though there was an affectionate gleam in her bit green eyes as she looked on James, "I guess we were meant to be?" She closed her eyes and cupped his jaw, pressing her forehead to his with a gentle smile on her lips.

One of these days, she would get a camera of her own and she would take a picture of James making that face that she loved so she could keep it in a frame next to her bed. She didn't want to ask anyone else to take a picture of it, nor did she want someone to draw it. The way she saw it, that expression was just for her even if others did see it, "of course I do," she said softly after he kissed her.

She nodded her head when he started talking about the dog, laughing abruptly as the image changed to a cat and shaking her head, "a dog would be nice as long as I can get my allergy under control..." then she added quickly, "but if you want a cat we can have one of those too!" She glanced over to Echo as she made a comment about the cat and laughed, "it's like my mom's cat Empress. Oh! And Percy! James! We have Percy too!" She had almost entirely forgotten about the little Aviafelix and that got her to wondering about Empress as well, she hoped that they both made it out with her family and bit her index finger gently as she thought on it for a moment.

Her thoughts were drawn away from that as James mentioned the Wizengamot and she frowned slightly, she remembered when they had visited there and he had first told her about his intentions, smiling slightly as that seemed so long ago and despite that she could still remember how her heart raced when he put his arm around her shoulders in the library, her cheeks flushing slightly as a smile broke the frown that she had been wearing before she looked to James earnestly, "w-well... I don't really know... I know... that more doors will be open for me now than there were previously... maybe..." she thought for a moment before her gaze shifted back to James, "James... why do you not want to join the Wizengamot anymore?"

"They're evil." said James with a deadpanned look. "I heard Bertrand got reinstated to Wizengamot and the Order of Merlin." he ran a hand over his messy black hair. "I don't want to work with them, and I already have Ifrit, although I don't remember how I summoned him. The djini was the reason why I wanted to become a better conjuror, but now I just feel like I don't need to make a wish anymore."

Seifer squeezed Renee's arm too, smiling, and returned her curious look with a raised eyebrow of his own. When she shook her head, the other eyebrow raised and he followed her gaze to the mural. "That cat's making the same face I make." and he rearranged his expression to that of a haughty one. It was the same as the cat's.
