open post ☀ stahn aileron

a: a lost boy;

[they say "there's no place like home." some also say "wherever you go, there you are."

stahn aileron, though, tends to handle things just a little differently when in a strange place. and he's definitely in a strange place right now. though he's been all over the world, none of the sights seem familiar.

so what stahn has to say at a time like this is "whenever in doubt, ask your sword!"

and so he does, holding up a rather old, but ornate sword in front of him. the blade is pointed upward, and it's probably a bit strange. what is that guy doing?]

Hey, Dymlos... do you recognize this place? I think we might have made a wrong turn somewhere...

[the problem here is that very, very few beyond swordian masters can actually hear dymlos speak. those who are exceptionally spiritually inclined might, or those with a certain exceptional strength that could make them a potential master. those who don't posses that will definitely just see a weirdo blonde with a massive mullet talking to himself. those who do will hear a voice much deeper than stahn's responding.]

Something is amiss; I know we didn't make any wrong turns, but this isn't anywhere in Darilsheid.

[well, that seems like a problem.]

I thought so too. Maybe we should backtrack? Or do you think we should just ask around?

[someone help him before he ends up wandering into the abyss as nightfall sets...

or just call him out on talking to himself, it's fine.]

b: takoyaki;

[well, the plus side to friendship with stahn? he'll definitely protect you in a bind, and he'll make sure to show his appreciation however he can. he works hard to cultivate his friendships. even if you hate him, he probably thinks you're his friend.

or will be determined to make you one, unless you've done something truly deplorable like trying to destroy the world or killing his best friend or something.

but hey, part of the perks? food. which is why when stahn sees a takoyaki stand on the street, he's pretty immediately hype.]

Mmm, do you smell that? There's takoyaki nearby! [he... really likes takoyaki, it's fine.] Come on, come on, let's go share some, my treat! [there's no getting out of this.]

c: sleep;

[have you ever met a person who really truly sleeps like the dead?

congrats, you have now!

it could be literally anywhere. rooming together. on the street, while walking—the sky's the limit, because this boy can sleep anywhere, and waking him up...

well, there's a reason the aileron secret arte is calling "waking the dead" and requires slamming a ladle against a frying pan and shouting loudly. please though... try your luck? maybe eventually stahn will stop snoring and drooling.]

d. wildcard;

[write your own prompt, if you want, i'm here for it!]

I don't know! It just kind of happens something. Usually when it's warm an sunny, and you just want to...

[stahn, please don't start dozing off while explaining about how you sometimes doze off.]

[IS THIS REAL LIFE. Kashuu reaches out to helpfully shake his arm...]

Hey! Geez! Are you sure you don't have some kinda sickness or something? Like, this totally isn't normal, I'm pretty sure.

[He is not an expert on humans and their bodily struggles, though.]

...Eh? Oh!

[he just spaced a little, it's fine.]

It's not a sickness!! The warmth of the sun just makes me sleepy...

[and considering he's a dumb country bumpkin who grew up herding sheep in open, sunny meadows.

yeah.]

[Is it, though. Is it. Kashuu doesn't seem entirely convinced.]

Hm... You're probably the kind of person that could even sleep at work under a desk, aren't you? It might come in handy someday, but not out here, probably. And I'm not gonna come pick you up if you pass out on the road!

[Yes he will BUT LOOK, DON'T MAKE HIM BE THAT PERSON.]

Maybe? I've never worked anywhere with a desk before, though.

[that's... not the point, stahn. like at all.]

...You kind of sound like Rutee when you say things like that though, Kashuu. [:( who will save this idiot from himself when he falls asleep on the road.]

Maybe you should like, examine why multiple people have to tell you they won't peel you off the pavement if you collapse in the middle of walking around a town, y'know? I mean, that's not a problem that most people have.

[Only the Stahns of the world have this problem!! Though at least with Kashuu he won't have to worry about actually being ditched.]

Rutee also tells me she'll leave me behind if I oversleep at an Inn, though. That's just the way she is!

[and yet. he seems perfectly, 100% okay with it. why is stahn like this, we just don't know.] She's big on tough love!

[that's probably not what it is at all, stahn...]

[Yeah, Kashuu is just shooting him a dubious look... Stahn?! Always seeing the best in people, or something. It's kind of impressive, when it's not just straight-up Concerning™.]

You'd probably be alone in calling something like that tough love, y'know. Most people would just call it being ditched.

[too bad it can be straight up concerning a lot...]

Well... she's never actually ditched me! She makes threats like that a lot, but I don't think she'd ever really do it!

[Yeah, 9 times out of 10 he's just here feeling The Concern. He still doesn't seem convinced about this person's apparently empty threats, either...]

Okay but think doesn't mean know. It's good she hasn't actually ditched you, but what if she does? What if you wake up and someone's totally robbed the shoes right off your feet 'cause you passed out on the road and no one stuck around?

Well... if I woke up without my shoes and Rutee gone... I'd probably just think that Rutee was the one who took them before she left...

[that's not the point, stahn!!!]

[NONE OF THIS IS MAKING RUTEE SOUND ANY BETTER, STAHN!!!]

...Okay, like. ...Okay. Hang on, this doesn't have anything to do with my point at all, but what? Why would she take your shoes before she left? Oh my god, Stahn.

If she thought she could make money on them, she probably would...

[he says this like it's not even a big deal at all, because this is just how stahn is.

he accepts that rutee is money-grubbing because he knows why she's that way? so it's fine?]

Oh my god, Stahn. You're saying she'd literally sell the shoes right off your feet.

[Which he now GLANCES AT, as if to see if they seem like they'd make a lot of money... It's not like poor Stahn is a designer clothes kinda guy, no matter how many fancy things Kashuu tries to shove his way.]

[rude, kashuu. stahn's clothes are actually... deceivingly trendy for where he's from. he even can fool people into thinking he's a city boy until he opens his mouth!]

Is there something wrong with saying that when it's true?

[WHERE DOES STAHN GET THESE TRENDY CLOTHES OUT IN BUMPKINVILLE.]

I mean, I guess not? [He doesn't know anymore, honestly!! But as always--] You're just super straightforward and honest about this stuff. More than normal people would be.

[the hell if i know, canon never explained that part?]

I don't think that's weird, though. I don't have any reason to lie about it or anything... isn't it better to be honest?

Depends, honestly. You're also super big-hearted so it works in your favor! Some people are just big jerks about it though, especially when they tell you your new nail polish color doesn't suit you.

[NOT THAT HE'S BITTER.]

[headtilt...]

I don't really know anything about nail polish, but that seems pretty mean!

[thanks for your insight, stahn.]

Right? Some people are just total Grade A jerks! They don't understand fashion at all so they just say stuff that makes no sense.

[Maybe the problem is that Kashuu occasionally thinks things like ski masks are cute, though.]

I guess maybe they could be trying to help because they don't want you to look bad. But it's... misguided? It sounds kind of mean, but if they don't understand it could just be a misunderstanding, right?

[when kashuu explains that more, stahn.... can't help but try to find the silver lining in it. whoops.]

[THIS IS INCREDIBLE. A talent that's truly unique to Stahn... Kashuu may be sideeying him a little, but it's more incredulous than judgmental.]

...Y'know, I think you're probably the only person in the whole world that could say something like that without sounding like you're just being a jerk. It's pretty impressive.

[Props to Stahn for being sunshiney enough to overcome even statements that could be easily interpreted as rudeass jokes.]

Well... there's no reason to sound like a jerk about something like that! I think it's really true, anyway.

[so why would anyone think it's a jerky thing to say?

he's too pure and too naive for this life.]

[HE IS. It's amazing he ended up with the partner sword he did, but they balance each other out pretty well...]

See? That's exaaactly the kinda thing I'd expect from you. You're really too much sometimes, you know? Way too much!

[it's a balance thing, they probably needed it to be that way.]

Am I? I think this is pretty normal.... Is it really that weird, Kashuu?
