@skylarynn

It’s good to see you again! How have you been?

@this-is-not-an-alien

School’s been alright!

And oooh!!! You’re starting a newsletter!!!!!!!!!!! (Or have you started one? What are you planning on sending? Have I subscribed yet?)

Have you finished the college and disability applications yet?
How do you think that will go?…[Read more]

My Lord Castle is getting impatient but forces My Lord Castle to wait.

*begins coming up with mischief for if they stay, though he didn’t expect it* And ooh. Moo hoo ha-

Nithel’s stomach flips when the man lifts his shirt enough to show the scars. Memories rush him, ones he’d tried desperately to forget but refused to leave.

Nithel…[Read more]

*waves* Allo everybody!

@this-is-not-an-alien

Hi!!! I’m doing alright. How are you? How is graphic design? Do you like your teacher?

Oui… It’s been busy the past several weeks. (I’m sorry I dropped the ball.) But Nithel’s has replied now!

“Who did that?” Alessio growled and Nithel looked up. His brows furrowed, and for a moment, he had no idea what the youth meant. Then he saw where he was looking, and Nithel’s eyes turned a bit heavy.

He was about to answer, when Alessio tried to apologize, “Sorry.. sorry, I wasn’t…devils.”

Nithel’s brows furrowed a bit more, and he doesn’t k…[Read more]

“It looks…safe enough.” Alessio said.

Nithel licked his lips after trying a fruit. It was… sweet. But also tart and filling. Like something his eldest daughter would bake. Nithel’s heart tugged, his eyes serious. He looked at Alessio a moment, before pulling off his shirt, and looking back at the food. Nithel’s skin was deeply tanned. There…[Read more]

My Lord Castle just waits.

——————-

When the table appeared, Nithel’s stomach flipped and his mouth watered. It had been two nights since he’d eaten the dried rusk. How long since he’d actually had food, though. Egad… He wanted to fall upon the fruit, the meat, the bread, and truthfully, the possibility of poison hadn’t even crossed…[Read more]

As the castle groaned, Nithel’s eyes widened, and he stepped back against the wall. Then as stones started to drop his lips parted in shock. He wanted to hide underneath something but there was nowhere to hide. No shelter from the rock. Nothing. And Alessio, standing right in the middle as debris fell.

Nithel wanted to order him to move, but move…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

*grins*

“Alright,” Alessio said, and most looked his directions. “Most of you each come from different worlds with different powers or capabilities, one of the only constants is that you all have secrets.”

*Nithel has no clue what his ‘power’/’capability’ was*

You’ll be missed, Joelle! It’s been amazing doing the Castle with you, and spending time with your characters! Thank you for it. 💜

(That said, I completely understand being too busy for it.)
We part in peace, and you are always welcome to return. *bows*

 And yessss… maybe we can kill the malevolent lizard… *hee hee…[Read more]

Nithel smiled inside at Alessio’s laughter. Then when the laughter didn’t stop, Nithel’s eyes got a hesitant twinkle. He had made the youth laugh. (Albeit unintentionally.) *thoughts/sweet memories of home*

Nithel gave Alessio a small bow with his head. I’m glad you laughed.

Alessio coughed a few times, then after a moment, he answered.…[Read more]

“Don’t give up now.” Alessio whispered, his voice husky.

Nithel cleared his throat silently, feeling the pressure of Alessio’s hand on his shoulder. Like a friend. Were they friends?

Nithel trembled inside. How he wanted his wife in his arms again. To weep with her. For her to caress him, and tell him that though things would change, she would…[Read more]

Nithel could see the struggle in Alessio and was sorry. *wants to explain, very badly… if he could… *

Nithel then nods, and a smile touches his lips. A sadness filled his eyes as well. “I have two daughters, a son, and the last time I saw my wife, we were expecting another.” I have not met them yet. “My elder daughter is about your…[Read more]

Nithel can see the pain and rushing in Alessio’s eyes struggling. Staring at the strap around his neck. Abni, I do remember you. Not much, but- Images flash through the back of his mind. But mostly, he remembers the emotions he had when with the youth.

Alessio blurts out, his eyes begging likely more than he wished, “Do you remember where you g…[Read more]

He looked well? He chose not to debate that.

“Mayra…” Nithel repeated slowly, looking down, but also at her face. It was hurting her, his lack of remembrance. If it meant anything, the name was beautiful. “Your name is lovely.” … “And I’m sorry.”

He glanced at Alessio, wondering if he was the youth he had at the back of his memory. Wondering…[Read more]

Nithel’s brows furrowed when a girl approached him. Then he felt awful when she knew his name as well, and his eyes saddened. I don’t know her. Nithel nods once, slowly, “I am Nithel,” son of Father. I am the son of my father.

He wanted to ask for her name, but didn’t want to betray he didn’t remember her. “I-” He took a small step back, then…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. 🥰

*almost babbles, but will let Nithel and Alessio get re-acquainted instead*

The boy was clearly uncomfortable, unsure what to say or do. He was just a bit older than Nithel’s daughter, maybe the same age. Nithel’s lips didn’t change, but a partial smile touched his eyes. Relax. All Nithel’s troubles still vied for attention in the back of his mind, and he didn’t know how he was able to give the smile. At least… you…[Read more]
