Outside is overrated. (open)

[Yates Ironforge]

SLAP!

Got another one. Yate's thought to himself; A slight throbbing pain pulsed where his hand had made contact. A mosquito had met its unfortunate fate the moment it chose to land on Yate's neck. His gloved hand pressed where the annoyance had decided to 'break ground' on his skin. Yates lowered his hand from his neck to stare at his palm where the crushed insect could be seen smeared on brown leather. His brows knitted and his features betrayed his emotions of irritation and disgust. He hated the Harvest Sun season. The temperature was always too hot and humid. The incest are unbearable and would suck you dry the moment flesh was exposed. The entire season of Harvest Sun was just horrible to him... He felt no pleasure in what the season brought and continued to gripe in silence as he entered the Castle Garden.

His mind plagued with the events that happened in the past few years since the 'fated' had arrived in the world. Perhaps Lady Severine could of still been among the living if it hadn't been for the fated that had drove her insane. So much had changed since severine's death and it bothered him to think of the consequences the kingdom would suffer if this madness continued. Let alone the madness that was happening past Nova's outer walls where the sky grew dark over Morgg Mountain. Perhaps he should ask Noku if the Ironforge services would be needed again shortly? Yate's thought, troubled by the events happening in the world around Nova. His thoughts driving him out into the castle garden to think among the beautiful flowers that were still in bloom.

Yates sighed, suddenly waving his arms around in the air in a frustrated manner after walking for a few minutes around the garden. He stopped at a bench and plopped down to take a seat.

[Yuki D'Avranches]

Yuki had decided to head outside she been inside the castle most of the day reading over all the paperwork that came in and studying some of the magic books. That day she was dressed in a simple light blue dress with a flora design in pink, her hair was tied with a single blue ribbon. Since the dress only went down to her knees her had a pair of white stockings, with a simple pair of black heels. In her hand was a white lace parasol to keep some of the sun’s rays off her pale skin, deciding to head towards the gardens it was beautiful this of year.



Walking around the gardens for a bit, she notice Count Ironforge, she barely spoke more than ten words to the man in all her time at the castle. Deciding to try and change that today she headed over to the bench that he was occupying. Giving a small custy once she was close up before speaking. “Would it be okay if I sit with you?” A warm smile on her face as she adjusted the parasol so that he could see her face.

[Yates Ironforge]

Yates arched his head to look up when he heard a soft voice speak. His brow raised when he met the gaze of the young D’avranches woman. His expression showing some bit of shock seeing the young mistress approach and ask to sit next to him. Perhaps the heat was playing tricks? Yates pondered for a second, lifting arm to rest on the back of the bench. His legs crossed when he gave her a small smile.

He nodded his head. “ Of course m'lady.” Yates states in a firm stoic tone, looking away to the garden for a moment. Not really sure what to say. He had never really met any of the D’avranches family members before. The only common knowledge he knew of the family was that they exported and traded tea. So Yates fidgeted with his fingers for a moment in the awkward silence. His chest expanding, taking in a huge breath and exhaling before turning to look towards Lady D’avranches once more.

“ I’m sorry for my rudeness. I’m..I’m just not very good at socializing. My name is Yates Ironforge and if I may be so bold. You must be….Lady D’avranches? If I’m wrong please correct me. ” Yates asks, trying to make some attempt at conversation to make up for the awkward silence since she did ask to sit. Or perhaps he just made an ass of himself by ruining the silence? Yates thought, now becoming a little nervous, though he wouldn’t dare show it in front of the lady sitting beside him.

[Yuki D'Avranches]

Smiling at him as she aw the little raise of the eyebrow it was kind a cute and the little shock on his made her giggle a bit. Though she was wondering a bit what he was thinking about for him to be shocked. Hearing him say it was okay she smiled taking a seat, adjusting the parasol a bit so that it shaded the both of them from the sun.



Taking a moment during the silence to catch look at Lord Ironforge, he was handsome for sure. Though it was his eyes that caught her attention, they were a lovely shade of purple yet it was so different from Adrain compared to Adrain’s she would say that Lord Ironforge’s eyes showed more emotion. Quickly averting her graze knowing that she couldn’t do that to herself, she would not allowed herself to have another crush. Still even so she did her best to remember what she could about the his family from what she knew his family are blacksmiths and made armor that seem to made to fit that person it was made for.



Turning to look at him hearing his deep voice. “It’s fine and you were not being rude. Normally people come out into the gardens to think. As for not being good at socializing that is perfectly fine. Though if I am honest I notice that about many of the males of the court, it seems that socializing it something that mainly us females did.” A soft giggle left her lips, as she wondered if she was still male if she would be this awkward when it came to these matter, but then again she was raised a female she would have be better at small talk. “Yes I am Lady D'Avranches uh… Yuki D’Avranches. It is nice to meet you Lord Ironforge or would you prefer I call you Lord Yates if that’s okay since this is the first time we ever held a proper conversation.” Twirling the parasol a but watching as the shadow played on the on the ground. “Though if I may be bold would you mind telling me what you were thinking before I joined you?”
