“From the current Listener to the first one blessed by our Dread Parents…all are bound by this blade.” He smiled sadly and remembered the day of when it was announced his wife was the new Listener. It was during that time when the whore dared claim the title. Pushing his anger aside, he looked up suddenly and chuckled. “Yes, well, you know my reasons. But, I’m slowly coming back more. I have my duties to fulfill and it’s high time I do so. Plus, my family back home has been giving me a headache, so why not spend more time here, eh?”
“The initiates could use more eyes to teach them.. they’re a little funny, though they tried to prank Nazir and well.. one of them almost died, luckily enough I’m not so bad at Restoration~” Solonna giggled, “It is good to reconnect with old ties you know..” She smiled, “Perhaps it’s a good opportunity to get that smile I always hear so much about, back? Hmm~” Solonna had heard all about it from Isis, on and on, she was so happy to have met another Jester, laughs all around, she had said.

Solonna smiles gently at the older man and approaches him and gently touches his shoulder, “You may, of course.” She smiled and fiddled around with her sash for a moment, pulling the blade from it’s inconspicuous hiding place, with two hands she offered it to him, “Do take care though.. you know it’s.. special.” She preened a little, she took a liking to it, obviously.
A smile crept about the old man’s face as she touched his shoulder. “Merci,” he replied eagerly and took the blade from her with a reverent air, “I wouldn’t dare let any harm come to this blade. It is…precious to me.” Turning the blade over in his hand, he inspected the blade and ran his finger along the edge. Sharp as ever, he noted in his mind. Roaan never was one for knifework, but damn if she could slice someone in twain with it. “How’s it been treating you, My Listener? Good I guess?”
“Hands that held it in the past guide the blades edge.. the elder Listener’s still walk the blade in the Void.” She smiled a little, “They guide it’s path from the shadows, friends.” She sighed, watching him for a moment, it was a sad day to claim the chair of Listener, but.. the deceased gave their blood for the blade. “The blade hasn’t been dull a single day, so well indeed, friend.” She smiled, “It is good to see you, around I mean. We see so little of you these days.” She nudged him a little.

Solonna looks up for a moment and over her shoulder towards him, “Of course I do..” She murmured, she knew it’s history, she’d heard from the Spectral, the Night Mother… The blade was an heirloom in itself. “I’d never let it leave my possession.. why do you ask?” She stood straight, looking back at him, leaning her back into the table, hands on either side of her.
He shuddered slightly and averted his gaze as she stared back at him. “Oh you do,” he mumbled, “I should’ve known better then to question that. Apologies, My Listener.” Looking back up, he breathed out slowly and nodded. “Forgive me if my next question seems brash, but, I was wondering if I could see it. Well, actually if I may hold it for a moment. With your permission of course.”
Solonna smiles gently at the older man and approaches him and gently touches his shoulder, “You may, of course.” She smiled and fiddled around with her sash for a moment, pulling the blade from it’s inconspicuous hiding place, with two hands she offered it to him, “Do take care though.. you know it’s.. special.” She preened a little, she took a liking to it, obviously.

Jack shuffles into the room with his hands hidden in the folds of his old robe. Clearing his throat, he glanced over his shoulder briefly before whispering quietly, “You still have the blade, correct?”Solonna looks up for a moment and over her shoulder towards him, “Of course I do..” She murmured, she knew it’s history, she’d heard from the Spectral, the Night Mother… The blade was an heirloom in itself. “I’d never let it leave my possession.. why do you ask?” She stood straight, looking back at him, leaning her back into the table, hands on either side of her.
inactive-thementorandthemaiden asked: "Listener. A moment if I may. I, uh, wish to ask you something of a personal matter." - J

Solonna jumps a little at the intrusion, after taking a moment to recognize the voice she turns and smiles sweetly, nodding. She’d been alone in her room for a little while. She offered him a seat gesturing a hand, politely with a smile, “Yes friend, sit if you wish.” She spoke softly, looking at him with a light smile before turning away to look at a few notes on the desk, spread across it’s surface neatly. Written notes for spells, a few letters from Isis, old contracts, and some scrapped doodles.

Solonna has a very sorted and painful upbringing, even as a little wiggly in her mother’s womb, she was tormented. Her father, being the malicious experimenter scholarly mer he was, decided to test a few affects (on what he knew would be a future experiment already). He told his wife that the spell would ease the pain of her sores and her back and other little things that happen with pregnancy. She trusted him of course, she thought there was no way he would dare to harm their unborn child!
He proceeded to play with a few spells, letting them seep into his wife and ultimately into the unborn mer. The spells caused exactly what he wanted, an increased pool of magicka, though with a little birth defect, her lilac eyes.
While Solonna is very concerned about her body and the markings all over it, self conscious about them if you will (the reason she doesn’t show any skin), being that she never knew the reason her eyes are this way, she isn’t sensitive about them.
But that’s why they’re that color XD.
isistheinsane replied to your post: ooc: Art Problems
((IMO, I learn by drawing gestures of the body and then taking the time to detail everything, I’ve never singularly studied anatomy, being that my art came from anime and turned into what it is now.))((I’m not learning to draw anime though lol, and create my own style as time goes by I got to learn about the human body before I can get creative with my own personal style.))
((Well, let’s get started!! Okay, first things first, when you’re going into the drawing of the body the first thing most learn is the skeletal structure, how it works, the proportions etc. After that, you go on and learn the muscles and the placement, how they bend and grow when the flex, what poses are actually sensible for the average human body to go into and all that. THEN, you move onto the skin and fats and breasts and fingers and all that. I’m not saying you have to do this!! It’s just the way I’ve seen things introduced for body study and anatomy XD.))
