(Oh I hate carsickness, take it from me and try to rest or take some medicine to help with it.
says the girl who claims to be drugged every time her parents or sister gives her something for carsickness because it makes me drowsy.)

[ was that a yes to the secondary power or a yes to him finally arriving? XD
Oh and yeah I'll probably have him drift over somewhere possibly to the macaroons? We all love a good non-glutonium snack.
Car sickness is the worst. And Arkansas has so many windy roads. It's not flat and boring at least x/ ]

(Depend on the secondary power, but for the most part I’m okay with it? As long as it’s not like ‘I can control people’ or some random she like that. Leon has tons of power b/c she is a witch/has witchblood, so I’m not too stringent on how much magic characters have.
So yeah, throw him towards Drusila and Leon, they’re at the sweets and that could get unique real quick.
Also Sparks, you can make another character if you want to.)

Leon almost cried out in shock when a women asked her about her whereabouts, and she swiveled her head to stare at the woman. She recognized her, for the most part, the red hair was telltale, and the shape of the face. She made sure to keep all sardonic, sarcasm, and rudeness out of her voice, and maintain a softer tone as she spoke to keep her own voice mostly unrecognizable. Believe it or not, the girl was sarcastic and cool when speaking most of the time, it kind of helped.
“Oh, sorry Madame,” Leon said, doing a little curtsy, because regardless of who she thought the woman was, the girl could be a noble. “I’m looking for my cousin, he ran off from me, my apologies for bumping into you,” she murmured, remembering that, despite how much she wanted to blow off th woman and go her own way, it would be rude, and she had to be polite to fit in.
She didn’t like polite.
“Then again, he’s really mature for his age,” or he should be. Her gaze slid away for a moment, before schooling her emotions. Zelos could handle himself, so she walked up and picked up a macaroon, delicately eating it and looking around. “He should know where to find me, it’s impossible to keep track of him anyways.” She mumbled to herself, still standing, she wasn’t keen on trying to sit in the dress she wore.

Could be really interesting, just as long as it’s not too much/‘set in stone’ too much. But it sounds cool and I’m okay with that. Again, Leon might have a type of cardistry type power, I’m still deciding, but if we’re doing this then maybe not because that would be super cool already! Saves me work tbh. Totally not a plot point connecting to butterfly effect theory.) |

I meant just a general control/manipulation of fire.

Edit: honestly though, if pyromancy could be an extension of that then that would be epic ]]

Eldred Scrivener wandered through the palace, observing the preparations for the gala that would be happening later. He helped very occasionally if one of the staff appeared to be struggling, but largely he didn’t involve himself. He planned on returning to his study sooner rather than later anyway, but had merely emerged to stretch his legs and to investigate the goings-on of the palace that day. He rather wished that he hadn’t, because it didn’t interest him in the slightest really.
Such frivolous displays held no real substance, and Eldred had no use for them. They were for the rich to show off, for the young to dance, and Eldred was neither. It didn’t concern him in the slightest; it was all vaporous really. Perhaps he was getting too old and cynical, but he refused to believe that.
Of course, he had once been young too. He had once enjoyed festivities, and had looked upon the castle with wonder. But those days had long passed, and he was older, wiser and far more sensible. Now he focussed on advising the King and Queen, as well as their son Zahavi. Eldred has seen that boy grow up.
But of course, Eldred had seen a great many things. He had been an advisor for many years now, having his beginnings in the court of the Valdera family. He had risen in their court, and 35 years ago he had seen the Valdera family fall, deposed by the current rulers. Eldred was a possessor of magic, yet his proximity to the Valdera rulers had kept him relatively safe from persecution. He had feared the new family would not be so lenient, but they had discovered his magical abilities within only a few weeks. Magic, even for the practised, is a difficult thing to hide. But they, too, had allowed Eldred to stay on as their own advisor, and in return for his services had promised they would not tell anyone of his abilities; he would be safe from persecution.
It was probably a wise decision, keeping the advisor of the former rulers in their court to advise them instead. It meant he was more easily monitored, they knew he would not turn traitor. Though he had little inclination to; he served whichever king and queen was ruling, he had no special allegiance to either family. He served the kingdom, and aimed to protect it and keep it running, no matter who was on the throne. And largely, though he monitored politics, he did not care for it. It didn’t matter to the man who had the throne; he had seen the rise and fall of too many kings for it to bother him.
And now, as he wandered the castle, he idly twisted a gold ring on his finger. This would be a busy day indeed in the castle, and it wouldn’t be long before the preparations were finished. That evening guests would be arriving, and that would be the time where Eldred would quietly excuse himself back to his study. He had no intention of making superficial smalltalk with the guests. FOUND IT!) |

Yes As Eldred said himself, magic is difficult to hide even for the practised. You might have taken that to mean it was difficult to avoid it being discovered, which of course is true and is partially the meaning. But it is also difficult to hide it because trying to suppress something like magic isn't always easy. My idea for his backstory thus far is that when he was much younger he was struggling to try and hide and suppress his magic and it just...burst out one day. He killed his wife] |
