🪶 Aurelius Recueil

//Time to sleep ~ I'll get to replies later. 💤

His hand claps over his mouth to muffle his snort of disbelief.

"No, no! Spare the world the sight of a naked Meteor.

Please, think of the poor people's eyes—although I suspect a certain audience would—well—Best stop that train of thought before it leaves the station."

Aurelius tries to hold it together, but he can't help but let out a stifled snicker of amusement at the thought of Meteor in an outfit like that.

"Oh dear," he manages to say in between suppressed hiccups of laughter, "I suppose some... people have /creative/ tastes."

Aurelius clears his throat awkwardly while fiddling with the feather quill in his hair.

"Did you... run afoul of some particularly mischievous pixies? Or perhaps an overzealous tailor?

Pray, explain the... the... erm—eccentricity of... /that/."

His hands gesture vaguely.

His eyes twinkle with mirth.
"The comparison is not without merit~"

Nugget chooses this moment to leap from Aurelius' shoulder to pad across to Panne for a closer look.

"Meteor, your face looks like you just swallowed a whole Sun Lemon!
Did someone put you up to this...?!"

Now, now, Cielvert! 90%? Such a precise measurement of spite.
You have such a striking profile, sage! It would be a scholarly sin not to document it for posterity.

// LOOK AT THIS COLOURFUL CAST OF CHARACTERS!
Happy early birthday! 🍰🎉
Erenville and Hildibrand is absolutely sending me.

// HAHAHA I can totally see it. Feisty Miqo...
But hey, people are always too nice to my characters on first meeting in RP interactions, I like a challenge, LOL~ 😈

// He's not without his flaws, he's absolutely stunted by the notion of curiosity killed the cat.

And WANDERING.

// Realist characters may be quick to accuse him of wearing rose-tinted shades, and they would not be wrong.

He did start off that way, because the fairytales upon the library's shelves do not ever match up in reality.

But over time, his remaining light becomes the choice of a quiet defiance.

// 🫶🫶! THANK YOU SO MUCH
honestly it has been so fun seeing Meteor and him (and Nugget of course,) interact. We've covered the sillies AND the vulnerable sad moments 😂

// On a funnier note, I love his pure chaotic whimsy. He looks elegant but it clashes with his passionate absurdity.

Did I mention he's also endearing and cute?
His joy is supposedly infectious, and I hope by writing him he manages to uplift you and your characters too! 😁

// I like that he's an authentically warm person.

He's a spin on the sunny optimist trope—who stays and judges not on first impressions. He's the paradox who'd dramatically declare the world saved while tripping over his own cape, yet in soft moments, his quiet soulfulness is a true anchor.

// No need to apologise!! It's actually refreshing to see different personalities 😁💙

//Today's interactions were/are a blast.

Thank you so much for those who gave me the chance to write together with you! 🥰

//This is definitely how Nugget greets Aurelius. 😂 The cute, beady eyed blank stare of the Eevee...

[Dramatic clutching of chest as if fatally wounded.]

"Nugget! ˈnəɡət! Thou hast slain me with thine own paws!"

[Collapses onto a nearby crate, the quill above his ear droops comically.]

"A most treacherous betrayal hath befallen me today.... "

//Today's interactions were/are a blast.

Thank you so much for those who gave me the chance to write together with you! 🥰

"THINE BEAUTIFUL BLACK BEADY EYES SHAN'T WORK ON ME.

...

You can't just leave me for the next person that makes funny whistling noises, that is playing UNFAIR."

A mortified gasp leaves his mouth.

"NUGGET! You traitorous little scamp!"

"We /share/ AETHER! You are supposed to be MY familiar—WHY MUST YOU BETRAY ME FOR THE NEXT SHINIEST THING—inthiscaseMeteor—THAT WALKS BY?!"

A mortified gasp leaves his mouth.

"NUGGET! You traitorous little scamp!"

"We /share/ AETHER! You are supposed to be MY familiar—WHY MUST YOU BETRAY ME FOR THE NEXT SHINIEST THING—inthiscaseMeteor—THAT WALKS BY?!"

"I suppose I'll find out in due time!"

Aurelius chuckles and adjusts his glasses in comically feigned offense.

"Excuse you, he's not to be confused with fried poultry, of course!"

He shakes an accusative finger at Panne in mock seriousness.

"Nay! He is named after /gold nuggets./"

Tis not the largest item my retainer has brought back!
Among them were... a bread display rack, a... a dhalmel taxidermy which barely fitted in the innroom... and even the House Fortemps Chandelier!

Did I mention far too many Alpha Plushies?

...I receive the most unconventional of items.

Well, if we take into account the size of this box...

I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE YOU.

His silver eyes flicker with something deeper—recognition.

Loss.

"So it was not corruption that forged your taste… but rather, /memory/."

"How strange... to be undone by darkness and still keep the shape of who you were," he comments gently.

The tip of his quill stills above the parchment.

"Oh, now this is..."

The man chuckles. "I forget sometimes that even those touched by shadow may wish for dignity over data."

"Though I suppose if you’d truly minded… you wouldn’t have become a cake connoisseur~"
