RUI 🦋

hm, hm... well, then! if they're for me, i should get to decide what to do with them, yes? this is what i decide!

( their smile is soft, yet alien. something they're sure io has already grown accustomed to. )

.. fear not, however! i also did enjoy feeding you rather than eating for myself. ^__^

( without a second thought, they have made up their mind. placing a hand on Io's cheek. )

the thought alone means the world to me, my love.

but of course, dearest..!

( they practically bark a response out! however, it sounds closer to a yip if anything.. )

i- um.. there is one problem, though.. from what i recall, candies of cacao origin are the focus, yes?

i, .... can not injest such treats.

val - en - tiiine...

( they purse their lips, sounding out each part of the word. yes, they think they've heard of it! a holiday in which mortals–. )

i-io..!

( their cheeks heat up, a pink hue spreading across their face... theyre rather flushed.. )

. . . ?

( they gently tilt their head, eyes narrowed in that fox-like manner they do from time to time. )

another offering, is it? my, my, dearest... you're always on top of these things!

Ah, what a glorious outing today was! Accompanied by Ser Knight and my Beloved... what more could I ask? 💞

i know every inch of you, dearest. every minute, delicate inch you hide under that armor. it'd be *such* a shame to not take advantage of that from time to time... no?

( rui slightly tilts their head, their fae magic pulsating within their gaze, inviting. addicting. )

( the little ways io reacts– his face heating up, his heart racing.. it all excites rui. all those small, *mortal* things... ♡ )

hm, hm... well, i suppose *some* things are meant to be shared, yes?

( the feeling of an invisible, ethereal.. hand? gently 'strokes' io's horn. )

( leaning in reeeeeal close, close enough for io to feel their breath against his lips. )

i have a few ideas, my beloved.

Hello, dearest! I already know how you are: ornery, as usual. I wish to help you with that. ^__^

@cataciysm.bsky.social I'm going to touch you inappropriately.

💭 ( Hello, Dearest! I do hope you've been well as of late. :3c )

Awh.. iiiii–ooohhh... ♡

No need to get all worked up, I'm yours and yours alone, remember? Your sword, enchanted and runed.

[ as they speak, a thin veil of raw magic slowly expels from them, a vivid pink smoke forms the shape of various hearts before dissipating. ]

||; Rui after dodging the question

My, Io..! Don't tell me... you're jealous?!

[ they let out a faux gasp, covering their mouth with both hands. ]

If thou desire, my noblest magus, perhaps my eloquetion should teeter towards these mannerisms?

Hm? what ever do you mean, dearest? ^__^

Teehee. I do adore a good story, both fictional and not. Some stories have both sprinkled in. I think those are far more interesting.

Is there truth in these claims? Hm, hm~ I suppose that depends on what you believe! Was there ever a second God of Dreams, or was that Myth? Could a simple fae even manage the power of a true god?

.... ^__^ Was Aethrix even just a simple fae, or were they something else entirely?

The story of Aetheix, The Dreamsculptor is one littered in deceit and muddied by rumor...

In Chei, they tell of a trickster fae who manipulated the younger of the Twin Gods of Dreams into giving up her influence over consciousness...

The shapechanger does no concern theirself with the worries of mortals ^__^

Good! ^__^ Because I would knoooow~

[ Rui gently pecks Io's forehead, before turning (their tail gently brushing against one of his hands..) and skipping away. ]

I will see you later, dearest! <3

So I've noticed! That just won't do, will it? You needn't worry, ser knight! I'll take care of that.

I'm just a girl! ^__^

Ah! tis quite simple, truly!

[ They slightly lean forward, folding their arms behind their back. ]

If he just so happens to step too far out of line, tell me. ^__^

[ They tilt their head, their grip loosening. ]

Hm, hm~... Well, I suppose there's nothing I can do about that..

[ Rui leans in, whispering into Io's ear. ]

( You will not be able to avoid it next time, dearest. )

[ Rui gently caresses Io's face, before quickly grabbing it. ] Ioooo~ My dear, dear Io... You need more protein. ^__^ I will give this to you, yes?

@dualwielder.starts.quest Hark, ser knight! thee shall bid me if any issues ariseth with mine own dearest, yes?

@cataciysm.bsky.social Dearest, you wouldn't happen to know what that could've been, do you? :3?

Hm, hm... I sensed something, for but a moment... Hehe. Something verrrrry interesting. <3
