(Private RP) Another World <<syaoran-puu & Kotorichan>>

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Vaughn nodded, accepting the tea. “Perhaps you should tell him not to get involved?” He wouldn’t want more hurt by the guy!

 

He sipped the tea only to put it down when Ceries walked closer. He smiled and pulled him into his arms. “I love you.” He kissed him back.

[Guest Kotorichan]

"I'll make sure he understands the risk... Then it will be up to him." Ceries murmured.

He laughed and snuggled into the man's chest. "I love you too." He cooed, nuzzling his neck. "Being with you makes me so happy..."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Vaughn nodded. He wondered what decision the Prince would make?

 

It didn’t matter.

It didn’t concern him.

Only Ceries did!

 

“I’m glad. You make me happy too. I wish I could be everything you needed. Give you the power you need....” but they needed Brenton, at least for now. “We’ll get through this.” They had each other. That was a start? Right?

[Guest Kotorichan]

Ceries rested his head on Vaughn's shoulder. "You're giving me more than enough already..." He murmured. "We'll get through this." He gently took the man's hand. "I'll try not to overwork myself in the process."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Vaughn stroked the Prince’s hair and smiled. “I hope you’re right.”

 

He purred gently. His cat wanting to be close to him. He would always protect him.

 

“Good. I want you safe and happy.” He hummed.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Ceries lightly kissed his cheek. "I know you do... Thank you." He picked up his cup and took a sip, still snuggled up to the man's chest. "You'll have to tell me how your sparring match with Nivair goes. It was always amazing to watch you two."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“He’ll have the advantage in the added dark. But I’m up for the challenge. It’s good to practise a variety of skills and he certainly keeps me on my toes.” He laughed. “I’ll let you know how it goes.”

 

Vaughn nuzzled the man, squeezing him. “You can always petition Prince Advyk if you’d like to watch us spar on another occasion?”

[Guest Kotorichan]

"I'm sure you'll do great." Ceries kissed his cheek. "Mm... Maybe I will... That would give you a chance to show off for me." He laughed and took another sip of tea. "Although that isn't really nessicary... I already know how strong you are."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“He’s a tricky character to go against.” Vaughn laughed. “But I’d love to try and show off for you!” He meant it too.

 

“I’d love to flex my muscles for you.” He winked. Greedy for more.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Ceries blushed softly and laughed, nuzzling close. "I'll look forward to that." He kissed him lightly. "If you get any scrapes and bruises then I'll tend to them personally." He promised.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“Oh! Now I wNt to get a few just to have the excuse of your hands upon me.” He purred.

 

Vaughn kissed him. “Shall I go fetch the jeweller?”

[Guest Kotorichan]

"If you don't get any then I'll be sure to shower my strong hero in affection." Ceries cooed, nuzzling his cheek.

He reluctantly pulled away and returned to his own chair. "Yes please, I'll finish my work after he leaves."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“I’ll adore that too.” He grinned. Kissing him. “Love you, beautiful.” He winked.

 

Getting up he nodded and went to search. It turned out the guy had gotten delayed, but at least he was still willing to come. Vaughn guided his silently through the corridors, he was carrying two big cases.

 

Vaughn knocked, “he’s here, your highness.” He pushed open the door and bowed to the Prince. Why did he feel a giddy nervousness? Excitement?

 

The merchant bowed too, “Prince Ceriesti, it is an honour!”

[Guest Kotorichan]

"I love you too." Ceries murmured, his cheeks pink.

He waited patiently until the jeweler arrived. His heart was pounding in excitement but he kept his expression neutral. "Ah, I'm glad you made it." He gave a slight nod and gestured to the chair across his desk. "Please sit down.

He glanced up at Vaughn. "You may wait in the hall, Vaughn. I will call for you if I need anything."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Vaughn bowed again. He could see Ceries excitement and it fuelled his own. He loved it. He wanted it....

 

Heading outside he waited.

 

The merchant smiled and sat down. Opening the first case. “Your employee told me a little but not enough to know exactly what you want? I have some elaborate and decorative ones you might like? Or I can commission a piece for you?” He grinned and turned the case for him to see.

[Guest Kotorichan]

"I have some ideas..." Ceries leaned forward to examine the options. "I would like it to be unique. This is meant to mark Vaughn as my personal guard, so I do not want it to be something that someone else might have." He gave a slight smile. "I'm sure you understand."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

The vender nodded. “I had hoped you would say that.” He opened up the second case. This one had different materials, sketches and patterns on sheets of paper. “Shall we then, your highness? Depending on the detail, will determine how long it takes me. I will make it a priority though.”

 

He took out some paper and helped the Prince to sketch out a design. He offered gems and embellishments. Everything.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Ceries took his time designing the bracelet, he couldn't hide how important it was to him for this to turn out well.

Finally he decided on a design and the materials. He sat back with a satisfied smile. "Thank you for your time."

He unlocked a drawer and pulled out a sack of coins to pay him.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“Is there anything else? Some who buy shifter bangles like a matching ring? It does usually show ownership but perhaps the meaning can be changed.” The merchant just wanted more money.

 

“This design might take me a few days. But I shall start immediately, your highness.” He offered honestly.

[Guest Kotorichan]

"That won't be nessicary." Ceries knew that the man just wanted more money, but he was too excited to let that bother him. "But thank you for the offer."

He counted out the money and handed it over to the man.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Accepting it he packed away and bowed. “I will have it delivered when it’s complete, your highness. Thank you for your business.” He meant it too. This was a small fortune to him! He’d do his best work!

 

Heading out he was greeted by the guard.

 

Vaughn looked in, “I shall escort our guest out, your highness.” He bowed to him and guided the merchant out. The man spoke but Vaughn just nodded.

 

Brenton took the book he was reading and knocked on the Prince’s office before walking in. He quirked a brow at the sight but ignored it as he headed over and flopped the open book down in front of him. “Is this what you think I am?” There was a diagram of a fire beast, some nicknamed them the Phoenix. If the book was to believed they were very powerful but were often killed in war because they often got controlled by one side or another. It also spoke of a curse... but Brenton didn’t understand it.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Ceries locked the money away and began to return to work, humming happily to himself. He looked up at the sound of a knock and was about to call out when the door opened. His heart stopped as he realized who it must be and he lowered his gaze, all of his excitement fading away.

"Ah... Good afternoon..." He murmured, giving the man a fearful glance.

He frowned in confusion and leaned forward to examine the diagram. "I don't think of you that way..." He said cautiously, afraid that this was some sort of test.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“Right....” Brenton looked at him, leaning in close to Ceries. “So what am I then? It seems fire is a rare power? I can’t find much mention of it except by ‘strangers’ and then this....” he turned the page. “I had wings like that last night.” He jabbed a finger at the page.

 

How was he seen then? If not a beast...

[Guest Kotorichan]

Ceries relaxed slightly, it seemed that Brenton just wanted to understand what was happening... "Fire is indeed a rare power. Some rare magical beast's have the ability, mostly phoenixes, salamanders, and wyverns... But there are currently no higher beings that can use fire, other than you that is." Ceries rose to his feet. "That doesn't mean that you're a beast, nor are you the first fire user."

He smiled shyly. "May I show you something?"

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Brenton watched him cautiously, eyes slittered slightly but he nodded. “Yes... show me...”

 

There was a knock on the door, Vaughn’s voice on the other side. He didn’t care. He wanted to focus on Ceries instead.
