Baby, you’re perfect

find the word.
+ top level with your person. prefs/canon info/etc.+ other people will reply with the first word that comes to their character's mind to describe yours. it could be about their appearance (consider this an 'are they beautiful?' meme if you wanna), their personality, or the mystique that may or may not surround (they're...interesting). break out the thesaurus.
+ your person reacts.
+ thread.

Still, he was more curious about her teasing mention of Gawain.]
I've heard but I thought it was curious. Some fairies really love their humans, don't they?
[It might have been more concerning a thought coming from Urien but there was no argument in Lot's mind that it was simply a matter of possessiveness. Gawain? She could take whatever was in her power.
Though, he snorted at the idea, turning his hand over to set down the deck, taking Morgan's card after she'd asked.] That woman would just kill me outright if I made a move, you know. I'm only just more competition.
[Though, there was a happy sort of bristling, his teeth more exposed in the smile that came. Pure excitement at the thought that there would be attrition between the two of them was more entertaining than vain notions of love.
Putting a lid on that excitement briefly, he'd rolled his neck and shut his eyes to think. There was a genre that hadn't existed anywhere in Fairy Britain that wouldn't fit into a label that fairies would understand. Right--the genre of rebels.]
My favorite? Well, it's a whole other world away but I'm a fan of 'punk'. [Ichigo was, at least.] None of it would ever survive as flotsam, unfortunately, so I'll just have to settle for old memories.

Some do. There is no law forbidding such a union, but it is not too common. [ Although all fae do enjoy human company for one reason or another. Woodwose would probably try to remove the tongue of anyone suggesting he should take a human spouse. ] Other than Gawain, I heard that the traitor of Sheffield had several human wives. [ The tales before the Queen's Era will remain a fantasy, and she will not address them. ] And, of course, you must remember my former husband, Beryl.
[ She would not have broken a law she wants to enforce if it existed. She had never truly written any legal jurisdiction regarding humans, leaving their handling to each Clan and city lord.
She silently regards him, glancing above her card to acknowledge his claim. ]
She is more than just a ravenous beast. [ But the queen will not persist if he has no interest in Gawain as a woman. It is safer to stay out of her attention range. ]
"Punk"? [ Her nose scrunches at the unsavority name. ] How did it sound like?
no subject
Lot grimaced at the thought of such clean eating more than the prospect of marriage. He lifted his chin, opening his hand palm pointed up to accept the card when she was ready, somewhat uninterested in the prospect of wining and dining Gawain.]
I hate to disappoint but I prefer the side of her that shows in battle. In terms of taking her as a a partner? [He wrinkled his nose, frowning more deeply.] Don't share it with her but my guess is she's gentle as a lamb with her lovers.
[Though, he gave pause--knowing the transition to answering her question meant a massive departure.] Oh, and... Well--punk is disorganized. There's usually a guitar and drums but the instruments don't matter so much as it being violent and rough matters. It's off-beat, sometimes, too. Lots of yelling and heavy sounds.
no subject
His grimace draws a curious glance from her. He has a very creative imagination, but she would not disagree with his remark on Gawain's thoughtfulness. ]
Oh, you are unexpectedly timid.
[ She knows he meant it. But this is a little ribbing between 'harmonious in-laws.' His explanation sounds like a mess. Something so wild and chaotic. Frenzied war cries shouldn't get passed as art. The British fae might like it in themes if not melody. ]
That sounds atrocious. [ She adds unapologetically. ] Urien favors it too?
[ Or used to. She will dismiss him very soon. The ending could continue until they are out of cards, but it could take longer than she anticipated with permitting this visit. ]
no subject
Let him forget the face where his first love resided, or else he'd think of her more often.] I'd hate to give that impression.
[Though, the topic of music was a good place to go to cover that deficiency.]
Urien, though... He'll listen to what someone plays for him. That guy only cares so long as other people are listening. [The memory of a sunny sky seen through a half-drawn window, sweet with the smell of summer came to mind. He took his headphones with him to go pick up something from the store for his father. Seeing Woodwose's face instead of Isshin's sobered him up right away--though only because he'd felt the presence of something reach within his 'hunting perimeter' around the chasm.
Languid and predatory, he stood up in one smooth motion before turning his yellow eyes on the balcony. Ah, well. They both had work to do.]
no subject
She would prefer to fill his day with his preferences to avoid a repeat. ]
He has no personal preferences? Hm. That might be why he humors Tristan's music attempts.
[ Not a frequent hobby of the princess, but she is interested in most forms of art. She may have another query, but that could wait. Morgan notices Lot has moved, like a slumbering predator that has finally risen to track his prey. She immediately knows where he's looking. Some idiotic fairy must be wandering close to the Pit again.
Despite being forbidden. ]
Go. [ She commands, reaching to grip the spear she has left resting on her throne. ] Do not permit anyone to disobey the Queen's Laws.

At his core, Lot was a single answer. The complexity the world thrust upon him could be answered the one way he understood. When Morgan needed a single blade--]
Very well.
[So, the reverberation boiled into his voice once with each step he took. He could appreciate the recognition in her voice. He tore through the air, bringing the hammer down with a shriek, livid with excitement. To be used as intended? It was all he'd ever asked for.
The adventurous fool approaching the chasm never had a chance to see what ended him but those in his troupe had just one breath between them to gasp in shock. Still, there were more. Following them back to their source, Lot had an answer to how he'd be spending the rest of his evening.
He couldn't imagine Morgan would be bitter over their game being cut short.]
