Thea's heart swelled at Gawyn's gesture, a gentle warmth spreading through her as he tucked the cherry blossom into her hair. She reached up to touch the delicate petals, her fingertips tracing the soft curve of the bloom with reverence. His words about her brother resonated with a bittersweet...

Thea felt her cheeks warm and she laughed softly. "I.. Forgot what it felt like to have a purpose.. My brother always said that if I could use my gifts to help people then it was my responsibility to do so." she remembered fondly. "He was right. He was always right.." she snorted quietly. "He'd...

Thea listened intently as Gawyn explained the evolution of their roles within the city, a small smile on her lips.. "It sounds like you all found your place," she remarked, a hint of admiration and longing in her tone. "You've done remarkable things here, Gawyn," she added quietly and smiled up...

Thea felt insecure at the best of times. She wasn't exactly whole. Isis was, and her wings were enviable. Not as enviable as his were, though, and those were curled around her in such a way that made her legs weaken. She leaned into him, a smug smile on her lips as she laced her fingers with...

Her grey eyes sparkled mischievously and she shrugged.. "That's probably for the best.." she agreed with a sheepish smile. "I just don't like to see anything caged." she justified as she pressed into his side in a manner that was almost feline, her cheek pressing to his chest and her hand...

Thea leaned into his touch, a surge of warmth enveloping her as she met his gaze with a soft smile. "I think I can handle it." she grinned, watching the child skip off to meet her friends. "That Migail however better watch his back.." she frowned, but laughed under her breath as she turned to...

Thea's heart skipped a beat at the child's earnest words. She stopped in her tracks, kneeling down to Ilyena's level and smiling warmly. "I'll try my very best," she whispered, her voice tinged with emotion. "Thank you. He makes me happy too, as do you." she nodded, her eyes sparkling with...

"And quite right too!" Thea huffed and shook her head in disapproval of Migail. It was difficult to mask her amusement as she shot a look at Gawyn, as though she knew exactly what he was thinking.. 'Are you my Daddy's girlfriend?' Thea's brow quirked as she looked down at the girl with a...

Thea could completely understand the difficulty one would have in refusing the child whatever wishes she had, especially as she looked up at her that way. A hand swept over the girl's hair as she whispered back at her with a grin. "Give me a couple of weeks." she winked conspiratorially. She...

Thea idly prodded her fork into her food avoiding eye contact in realisation that she had single-handedly turned Gawyn's home into some sort of rescue home for stray dogs, cats, birds and wingless avariel.. At Gawyn's words and Aodhan's obvious amusement, Thea tried and failed to smother a grin...

Thea hadn't braced herself for Gawyn's impromptu announcement, and a flicker of apprehension danced within her. The pace at which her life was evolving left her momentarily breathless, caught between the comfort of familiarity and the uncertainty of the unknown. "If... that's alright with you.."...

Thea found herself caught up in the animated exchange between Ilyena and herself, discussing matters of utmost importance to young princesses. The lightness of the conversation and the genuine delight in Ilyena's eyes created a warmth in her chest that she hadn't known in years. The connection...

Aodhan's subtle acknowledgment didn't go unnoticed. His composed demeanor held a flicker of knowing, and Thea met his gaze only briefly, sharing a moment of acknowledgment that spoke volumes without the need for words. A shy, awkward smile played on her lips, an unspoken agreement between two...

A devilish grin played across Thea's face as she felt the tantalizing touch of Gawyn's lips and teeth on her neck, causing her heart to stumble in response. The water seemed to come alive with the electric charge of the moment, and despite her attempt to maintain composure, her lower lip fell...

Gawyn's departure left a palpable absence in the room, the lingering touch of his lips on her forehead like a promise, and she closed her eyes, savouring the warmth of the moment. Once alone, she took the opportunity to explore the room further, and Thea's lips curled into a tender smile as her...
