(Marriage? Nik honey, you thinking marriage already?)
“Wonderful.” Kaylum’s eyes relaxed with indifference as he moved past the two humans. Xiomara shifted to human form and followed after him out of the training.
“Your Highness,” she spoke once they were out of earshot, “do you think you should tell—“
“No.” He cut her off, his voice hard. “I don’t want to think about this ever again.”
“But you know it’s inevitable that—“
“Maybe. Maybe not.“
“Your Highness, I may be getting ahead of myself here, but a union between you two could could all but guarantee peace for both Tesh and Kevra. At least consider the possibilities of that, if not for yourself.”
He paused, rubbing his fingers against his temple. “Xiomara… he’s slain so many of us. I’m sure he’s killed as many dragons as Mother has killed humans.”
Her brow furrowed. “Isn’t that all the more reason to do it? To prevent any more of us from ascending to the stars?”
His fingers moved down to play with his dreadlocks. “I don’t want to think about it right now.”
He closed his eyes, and teleported away. Xiomara followed.
(it's purely political lmaoo)
(soulmates = marriage = politics)
Nikolas watched him go for a long moment, then pulled on a jacket, a frown pulling his eyebrows together. He turned to Aron, blinking at him.
Aron shrugged his shoulders at the prince. "I…don't know what to tell you." he said slowly, tossing Nik his jacket. Nik pulled on the jacket, frowning just a little.
"This could destroy the peace or forge it from steel." he said quietly, eyes slightly unfocused as he considered what had just happened. "And I don't know which would be worse." he blinked, eyes focusing on Aron as he looked over at his guard.
Aron shrugged again, putting on his own jacket. "Yeah, uh, I don't know what to say." he said slowly.
(lmao I like how Kay's like "ok i'm going to bury this, we're never talking about this again" and Nik goes "✨p o l i t i c s✨" lmao)
(Sameeee it’s great seeing their different reactions)
(Nik: marriage alliance???)
(Kaylum: Prince of Kevra who??)
(Kay: we can pretend this never happened)
(Nik: or we can do the political thing)
(lmaoooo)
(Nik: we're getting married!)
(Kaylum: I have never seen this man before in my life)
(Shisnskhsjk plssss)
(But Nik’s being big brained tho, Kay just hates responsibility)
(Nik: wanna get married?)
(Kay: weren’t you that dude who killed like, a good chunk of our army?)
(lmaoo yeah)
(Nik: well, yes, but so did your mom)
(Kay: well I’m not marrying my mom, now am I?)
(Enidjjekj idk how to continue :’)
(Nik: nah but she probably killed more people than I did, and you still love her)
(same lmao)
(Kay starts questioning if he loves his mom cuz of all the helicopter parenting and stuff she’s exhibiting making them grow distant from each other)
(lmaoo)
(Nik, watching Kay destroy his relationship with his mother: ok so maybe I was wrong–)
(hjgkbsjdbh)
(Aron, watching the chaos unfold: have you, perhaps, considered just talking about this?)
(Xiomara, also watching and whispering: yeah, but those conversations always led nowhere. I think they’re both very bad at this)
(Lieze (one of Aron's other guards) (she's a badass and I love her): I'm going to smash their heads together)
(Xiomara: I want to as well, but they might shift and smashing two dragon’s heads together is bound to end in disaster)
(Lieze: Nik can't shift into a dragon, so it sounds perfectly safe to me)
(Lol I thought she meant Kay and Lisette)
(lol she meant Kay and Nik, whoops)
