( his words were strange and rather confusing to her, but she remained silent and listened without much comment. she tried her best to make sense of it all, but really it sounded like something out of a book.
that wasn’t to say she didn’t believe him- she had heard about others and their worlds, just as equally bizarre and strange. additionally, her own life truly did sound like something out of a fantasy as well. members of her family, born with a curse that transforms them into their respective zodiac sign at the embrace of a member of the opposite gender. she was the only one who didn’t transform.
to his question, because of the sweater she had on and her own desire to keep him around, she nodded. )
I have as much time as you’ll give me to hear whatever it is, you wish to share with me.
brace yourself; ferdinand has commenced The Blabbening
( one thing that was setting his heart at ease is that it seemed as though akito was finding some emotional equilibrium again as they spoke. he knew that it didn't mean that akito didn't have reason to be stressed anymore, but it was still a relief. and though he was given the go-ahead to elaborate on the history of the empire and all of fódlan, he tried to keep in mind that just about every part of it was alien to his conversation partner. it would be easy to get overwhelmed by too much detail at once.)
Very well. Please do not hesitate to stop and ask me to pause or clarify at any time. ( he continues to busy himself with preparing their tea as he goes on. )
The Empire's history spans over a thousand years, and there have been many wars over the course of it that have changed its borders and developed new nations in Fódlan where the Empire once controlled. It is really quite fascinating, but for now, I will try to condense it into what was relevant to my lifetime. In my time, there existed the Adrestian Empire, the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, and the Leicester Alliance. Cradled in the middle of them was the neutral territory of the Church, where a lofty and magnificent monastery called Garreg Mach was located as its central base of operations. It held a great degree of power and influence over all three nations, and moreover, it was home to the Officers Academy, a prestigious school designed to prepare all of Fódlan's nobility for the future. ( here, his face gets a bit wistful. ) I bear many fond memories of that time. When the war started, it was only my first year of attending classes. To complicate matters further, it was my own classmate and house leader who declared war on the Church, which swiftly became a war against all the rest of Fódlan. And for five years, I fought in it.
( to say akito was expecting this would be a lie. however, it was surprisingly a good distraction to the immense pain and torture this place had put her through, and what she had put herself through. she was terrified of duplicity, of the food, the air, the water-
all of it reminded her of what happened the first time she met ferdinand and of the stories others here had shared with her. so this, even if he was going on about things that went over her head, was better than being alone. her hunger for comfort and solace was far too great, it drowned out her anger, domineering nature, and general malice.
as he spoke, she remained silent and wondered how he adapted so well here. if he was fresh from war, of nobility, and yet survived here as a submissive of all things, why couldn't she? the answer, which she already knew, terrified her. so she opted to push herself into this conversation and her attention on ferdinand instead. if she focused on him, she would do what her punishment entailed, and she would save herself of her fears for now. )
Your world....sounds rather so primitive...wars? I don't mean that in a bad way...I guess we just come from very different times.
( the word 'primitive' was quite pejorative, yet to a certain extent, ferdinand couldn't help but agree. he did mention one of the more salient aspects of how his world could be seen as backwards compared to duplicity in the realm of technology. nevertheless, his eyebrows rose in surprise at the response. )
Wars seem... primitive to you? ( he chuckled under his breath in awe at the idea. ) That does not sound like a bad thing at all. I would very much like for them to stay as annals of what once was, not what might be.
( as sheltered and controlling as she was, even someone like her could see the pointlessness of such endeavors. she was well educated and well read, and she knew of the chaos and destructiveness of wars. she hated the thought of anything happening to her beloved zodiac members, or the ones that remained, because of war.
still, she isn’t sure what else to say or ask, the whole thing was quite shocking to hear really. but…
she decided to try and keep things light for now, after all, if ferdinand became tense or suspicious of akito, her sweater would begin to close in on her. )
I suppose that’s one thing we can agree upon….
Is that when you were pulled from your world? In the middle of war? Or was it over by then?
It had concluded by the time I was taken here. We were victorious, but the real toil that comes with reconstructing what we had dismantled had been underway. It feels as though I have left much undone. ( the duke now disconnected sighed, pouring the water into the pot now that it was hot enough. ) I have been told that time flows differently here, so it consoles me some to think that I am not inadvertently being delinquent in my duties.
( it seemed like a good opportunity to pass the focus over to akito, considering he had just expounded on his own history a little. besides, he was curious about him perhaps as much. while he waited for the tea to brew, he brought over the cups and the like to the low table that akito was seated at. )
What of you? Were you taken away in the midst of something you were trying to do? Or is it another story?
( it was certainly interesting to see and hear this man who had been of nobility, had fought in a was was here of all places comforting akito and serving her tea. it was a strange concept that brought in even more strange feelings. if ferdinand really looked at her at all, she would seem almost pensive and deep in thought.
really it forced her to admit there was a vast world outside of the bubble she had been in for years and it made her wonder-
could she just be someone different here? but then if someone from her world did end up showing up...)
I'm afraid I'm not as interesting....so please...you can tell me more about yourself.
( she didn't want to upset him and risk telling him about who she really was. after all, the last thing she saw was her own mother trying to kill her, a decades long feud coming to a head. )
( ferdinand did notice the solemn preoccupation take hold of akito, and paired with how he deflected his attempt to learn more about him, it was quite concerning. there must be a reason that he was so guarded about himself, and that in and of itself piqued ferdinand's interest even more. he crouched at the table across from him and shook his head, trying a smile. )
Come, now. That is no way to think. It is all a matter of perspective, and you have not even given mine a chance. Besides, this is no contest to see who can be more interesting than the other. I simply wish to know more about someone I wish to befriend. Will you allow me?
( akito just wasn't sure what to share or say. despite the pain she had inflicted on her precious zodiac members, her own life was full of it too. she couldn't really think of anything she could share that wouldn't be viewed as too drastic or would bring the mood down. the source of it all, her mother was just too painful to think about.
so she decided to just gloss over things, keep it simple. even if she had been told things by others here like 'if you go home, you won't remember this place', what if she never went home? then someone here would know how horrible she was and her life. )
I come from a place called Japan, it's a country on Earth? I'm the head of my family, a large assembly of clans under the Sohma last name. My father died when I was young...he seemed to really....love that woman-
My mother...I guess you could say I was raised to be a proper head of my family. Not very interesting, I'm afraid.
( nothing about ferdinand's face seemed to betray a sense of disinterest, but it seemed to hurt to hear of akito's father's untimely end. )
Quite the opposite! I find that fascinating. Though, it is regrettable that you were made to assume such a responsibility at an early age. The way you speak of her, I am getting the impression that you were not terribly fond of your mother.
( she didn't want to discuss ren further than she had to, but ferdinand was asking her questions and she wasn't sure how to back out of this without resorting to angrily telling him to stop.
so it became clear how uncomfortable she was. she remained silent, eyes looking down at the empty tea cup as she began to fidget with the sweater she had on. perhaps if she changed things to prevent further questions-
she could always silence him with a kiss couldn't she? but for now she decided to divulge just a bit without saying the real reason for their dispute. )
She never wanted children, so my father and the house maids were the ones who raised me. We still lived together but due to how large the estate was...she lives in a completely different house on the same property.
( she paused for a moment before taking a deep breath. )
( a clever diversion! just before ferdinand was about to respond, akito turned his attention away from their uncomfortable topic. how long has it been? )
Hmm... ( however!! ) No, I recommend giving it a few more minutes. Now, where were we... Oh! I was raised by maids and servants, myself, being that my mother was the duchess and thus had important duties, but what time I did spend with my mother never made me feel like I was unwanted. I wonder, if it had been the other way around... how would that make me feel as a young child? ( he grows thoughtful for a moment but returns quickly to the topic with regards to akito. ) Is that why you harbor a certain disdain for her?
( it seemed like ferdinand was far too imposing for akito to handle properly, and while she knew she could technically ask him to leave to avoid this uncomfortable situation, she was in a predicament.
either she did that and her sweater would punish her immediately, or she had to figure out a way to both satisfy his curiosity and keep her secrets guarded. it was tricky regardless because as much as she hated her mother and didn't care about speaking poorly of her, she also wasn't necessarily looking for pity because she knew-
if she told ferdinand the real reason her mother despised her, he would know her secret. the one that still gave her any sense of control here.
so akito sighed a bit, her face clearly expressing just how uncomfortable she was. she wasn't sure what to say, so she stood up from where she was seated and moved closer to ferdinand. once she was next to him, she leaned in closer to him and spoke. )
How can you love someone who never gave you any affection or any kind words?
( if he pushed the topic, at least now she was close enough to silence him through other means. )
( for a moment after akito stood up, ferdinand wondered if he was about to leave, which also forced him to scrutinize why that could be the case a little more closely. but then, rather than moving further, he got closer. ferdinand twisted a little to look him in the eye, only to find himself drawn in by him, like there was a subtle magnetic pull when they were this close, when his striking face was the center of his vision and his voice filled his ears. like there was something pending between them amid such suffocating words, something that made his breath flow scarcer. )
Well... ( he swallowed and sought thoughtful order with his words, an edge of pain starting at his expression as he was piecing akito's strained childhood together bit by precious bit. ) It would make loving that person very difficult, that much I am sure. And it would hurt deeply to feel unwanted, especially by your own mother.
the last person who tried it only drew her violent rage. yet there was something in what he said that did touch her, drew out a more sensitive side to her.
with a soft breath, she reached out to touch a strand of his hair, rising it up with her fingers to look at it. clearly she was trying to change the subject now. )
We met so fast…I never really got a chance to look at you clearly. Have you always worn your hair this long?
( the unexpected compliment widened his blinking eyes, but to have a lock of his long, wavy hair taken as he is examined took him even more off-guard. his attention was, at least temporarily, diverted in the direction akito had wanted. )
No. I used to keep it rather short, actually. ( he smoothed his fingers through the length at the back, a watery smile forming on his lips. ) I had been so occupied ever since the war started that I stopped minding it, and now, I have gotten quite used to it. What do you think? Do you like it?
( it seemed perhaps that her plan had succeeded for now, and that he had a weakness she could exploit. men were such amusing creatures like that, it was a thought she couldn't help but ruminate upon.
most of her negative thoughts about others revolved around women specifically, but she knew how to use her femineity and sexuality as a weapon to get what she wanted. unfortunately it seemed she had to play nice with this one-
even if in this moment she truly was just being needy for comfort and affection after everything that happened. )
It suits you, the color is quite beautiful as well...I'm envious really.
( was she flattering him up to distract him? yes, and if it worked she would continue on. in fact, she even brought up the lock of hair to her lips, placing a kiss upon it. )
( the token of affection pressed to his hair did a nice job of making him flush. he was quite a romantic, and this, well... coming from someone like akito, so sparing in such gestures, it was staggering. )
Have you... ever tried growing out your hair? Because I think that, with a face so captivating as yours, you would be absolutely stunning.
( if ferdinand was surprised at her gesture, she was just as surprised at his compliment. it came from a place of perceived kindness, a returned gift from her own compliment. it was strange for her to experience this-
typically those under her or even shigure weren't as open with compliments. for them it was all domination and saying things that would placate her anger.
she was so shocked by this, she simply released his hair and looked off towards the kitchen, opting to switch the subject yet again. )
( now, ferdinand isn't so dense that he can't pick up on the fact that akito keeps using the tea as a convenient topic switch-out, possibly, he strongly suspects, when he is making him uncomfortable for some reason. why the compliment? is he not used to receiving any?
...
given that one of the few facts he has of akito is the fact that his mother failed to show any warmth to him, he can't help but wonder if the two things are related. it seems as though his relationship with his father had been better, given he actually took the time to raise him, but it had been so tragically cut short. childhood plays a heavy hand in shaping people.
though endlessly curious about this enigmatic, delicate young man, ferdinand withholds confronting him on this clear tactic used to divert his attention away from him. the tea should be done right now, anyway. )
Yes, I believe it has steeped to a sufficient degree by now. I shall be right back.
( he rises up to go tend to the tea, remove the leaves and bring the pot over. he pours the tea carefully into each cup, its fragrance soothing with lavender and bright with citrus. )
Would you like yours with any honey? I find that it is quite delightful that way, but it is also fine on its own accord.
( the moment ferdinand rose up to grab the tea, akito let out a soft sigh of relief. so far it seemed that whatever ferdinand had been feeling about her and the situation, hadn't quite triggered her sweater to tighten up on her.
as for akito, she was truly feeling unsure of herself and this situation. she wasn't used to genuine compliments, and the suggestion to grow out her hair made things difficult. such an act would affirm what she was desperately trying to hide and she wasn't a fan of such long dark hair-
her mother had that after all. it was only when ferdinand spoke again that she seemed to snap out of whatever trance she was in and looked up. )
Honey, yes I'll take it. I suppose...you're a big fan of tea then?
( it was painfully clear she was trying to keep things about tea. )
( ferdinand remained oblivious to just how much akito was trying to veer away from more uncomfortable subjects using tea as bait, especially when he did, in fact, like tea quite a lot, and was perfectly happy to talk about it. he adds tea to both of their drinks. )
I am, yes! It is an exceptional beverage, don't you think? Versatile enough to suit different palates, a wide range of flavor profiles... and it makes for a relaxing ritual to share with someone. ( like you, akito!! the look he gave seemed to say. ) It was quite popular where I am from.
( even if ferdinand hadn't intended on revealing much to akito tonight, with the way he reacted to certain things she said, she saw ways to distract and manipulate him-
all without resorting to the usual tactics she followed back home. back in such a structured environment, where she alone stood at the top. here she was nothing, and yet so much was expected of her. it was a terrible pressure on her, that led them both to be here.
talking about tea, being vulnerable. it was a thought that ruminated in her mind as he returned back with the tea and spoke on about it. his subtle hint there at the end, about sharing tea with her brought about a sigh. if he really knew what she was like....would he even be here? )
It seems that regardless of world, powers, or people, tea seems to be popular anywhere. I actually met someone from a strange world with magic who sells magic infused teas.
lmao we both know he did not add tea to both of their drinks in the last tag I wrote. HONEY!!!
( mentioning this brightens ferdinand even more. )
I have noticed that, too! Tea being one of the more ubiquitous things among those of us from vastly different places does, admittedly, bring me some comfort. But magic-infused teas? Now I am curious. Did they describe the sorts of effects that were infused in the teas?
I'm not really sure, but what I bought was specifically made for me. I asked for teas to help me with sleep and some issues I was having.
( yet again she was being far too vulnerable than she wanted to be but she couldn't seem to help it.
in his own unique way, with the comfort he provided to her at first and with how kind he was being, he was truly getting to her. this was far beyond her just trying to obey her punishment's terms. there was some sense of guilt however, because he reminded her far too much of a certain rooster. she never thought that she would meet someone else like him. )
Perhaps you should pay a visit, they're sold at the Bunny's brew and botanical burrow.
