❝ i like it here beside you dear, you're even more than you appear, and in the clouds my head is clear, every time you say hello ❞
MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS | The sound of roaring waterfalls echoing in the distance was a soothing sound to her elongated ears. Seyka extended her slender arm out over the edge of the stony balcony. A sweet little bird fluttered down before perching on her index finger. It let out a small peeping noise letting her know just how young it was. Barely leaving the nest and traveling so far. She gave the flighty creature a delighted smile. Sey Sey's always had a soft spot in her heart for small animals. The Elven noblewoman lifted her palm up to allow the little bird to fly off into the open skies once more.
What was it like to be just like a bird? To have the wind beneath her wings and just take flight to places across Middle Earth. Father abhors the very thought of his children being far out of his supervision. As beautiful of a sanctuary Imladris was, it never changed. For perfectly good reasons without a doubt but it was so boring! It didn’t help much when Beriadan became a highly recognizable Dúnedain ranger. She was half-tempted to go pester her brother, Skylar. No wait – that won’t do – she just finished messing with him a few days ago. Any further harassment will lead to trouble~ More so than she was willing to bite off. “Booooo…” she groaned. She stretched out slightly before spinning on her heels to loiter elsewhere. If she stayed in one place for too long then someone may nag at her to go back to studying or something the greenette wasn’t going to be fond of doing to pass the time. In her leisure stroll, she stopped in the middle of her tracks eliciting a light gasp. Could it be? It had to be him~! Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
She scuttled quickly over to a large pillar to hide her lithe little form behind. It was hard to stifle back the giggles but she managed to do so flawlessly. All she had to do was wait for the right moment. Wait until he passed on by~
Closer… Getting closer…
The moment was now!
“Beriadan!” she exclaimed happily. Arms extended out jubilantly as she lunged from out of her hiding spot to pounce Alexander with an affectionate hug. |

Imladris. Despite what was supposedly in store for him, he would always call Imladris home first and foremost. It was where he raised after he had been brought here. He never really knew much about his parents as they were gone for pretty much the entirety of his life. Still, the roaring waterfalls brought a sense of comfort and familiarity that little else gave him. He would stay the night here, if nothing else. He had considered taking a journey down to Gondor to see how the kingdom was faring against the Haven of Umbar. Despite being the Chieftain, he often departed from the north, though the Grey Company at least seemed to understand. As Chieftain he felt it was a responsibility to keep an eye on the happenings of Middle-Earth. But for now, he would rest, having made his way to Imladris. It didn't take long for his ranger senses to kick in though. Someone was waiting, hiding. Considering it was Rivendell though, he really didn't consider them to be a potential threat, they likely would've been killed by now or something. Still, he had an idea who it was. He kept his head from turning, keeping the small smile from coming onto his lips, he'd let her have her fun, it was always too good to see her smile. Granted, it was cute seeing her pout too. Though it seemed that she was eager to see him, diving out with a cry of his name. Well, Elvish name anyway. Alexander turned sharply towards her, outstretching his arms to receive her. The moment he had her in his grasp, he held on, wrapping his arms around her tightly, running his hand through her emerald locks. Every time he saw her, his problems just seemed to melt away. "Missed me, I take it?" Well, he missed her too, to be honest. And at least he had a better way of showing than just saying it. Taking a hand, he tilted her chin up before trying to pull her into a kiss~ tags: Seyka Rozengalenotes: d'awwww~<33 CODED BY ELECTRIC OF GS

★ | Alexander Elessar | ★ | You cheat! D< And don't mind me, using Elvish phrases I found on google. Dunno if they is accurate. >w>;; |
MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS | Did she miss him? The greenette gave him an incredulous look at the audacious question asked. “Do you even have to ask? You’ve been gone for how long now and I haven't heard a – murrrmmph?!” She was going to continue her banter but Beriadan put a quick halt to that plan. Her eyes widened as heat quickly swept from her chest into her cheeks. It all happened in one quick motion she barely had any time to process what was going on. Her face burned like a thousand summer suns realizing then and there that Alexander kissed her. She was being kissed by him!
Part of her wished she had the will-power to punch him right then and there. Clock his lights out for the brash greeting. If she thought for a moment that he was the type of man who’d take advantage of a girl’s affections then succumbing to those urges would’ve been a lot easier to grasp. Thankfully, she knew him well not to be that sort of man. She leaned up on her tippy-toes to reciprocate the kiss. When the moment felt like an eternity passed, despite it being just a few sweet savoring moments, she parted their lips.
“Nae saian luume', Beriadan!” she exclaimed happily, “Oio naa elealla alasse'… I hope you don’t always kiss a woman as a standard greeting. Some may find that rather imprudent.” She nuzzled her face against his chest inhaling the scent of leather and road on him. The scent of distance from faraway places. Vast fields, foreign plants and animals were there too. Still, it was the same man who grew up in the blink of an eye when her father took him in.
“What’s the special occasion? Surely it is not mere whims that brought you back to Imladris?” She looked back up to him with curious, forest green eyes. Not that she was complaining~ She wanted to spend all the time in the world with him if the opportunity was granted. |

Alexander chuckled lightly, for all her teasing, it didn't even seem to bother her as she just nuzzled into him. Seyka always was the affectionate kind, not that he minded. It was part of what he found endearing about her. It helped him feel like he had someone to come back to when everything was said and done. Though it did make him worry sometimes; what exactly did she do when it came to him? Did she spend all her time worrying about him and wondering if he was okay? It made the idea of dying horribly just a little more chilling than well, what the idea of dying horribly would normally, entail, he figured. "Er Anldë." He murmured, refusing to loosen his grip on the elf girl in his arms. He wouldn't deny that he was happy to see her. He was always happy to see his adoptive family. Skylar and the others always kept things entertaining. But seeing Seyka alone was enough to make the entire trip worth it. Part of him really did not want to have to leave so soon. Maybe he could stay here a while? Ooh! Maybe he could take her with him! ... Wait no, taking her into what might be an incident with Umbar might not end well. Plus he doubted that Skylar would be all too thrilled with taking her down there. Then again, showing her the White City might be nice. But alas, she was correct, he didn't come back to Rivendell on a mere whim. "I'm passing through. I'm considering heading down to Gondor to see what's going on with them and Umbar. Usually Umbar's causing trouble but I've been hearing that it might be getting a bit more vicious than usual lately." Ranger or King, it didn't matter; he knew the importance of Gondor. They were essentially a stalwart wall that kept the Easterlings from plowing their way into the West. Umbar, a known have for pirates, was especially bad. But for now, that was a far off memory. "Ananta... ávan sáma ëala er ólë." He remarked, giving Seyka a squeeze. Yes, he was happy to be back. tags: Seyka Rozengalenotes: <w< fufufufu~ CODED BY ELECTRIC OF GS

❝ i like it here beside you dear. you're even more than you appear, and in the clouds my head is clear every time you say hello, so here's my heart ––– ❞
MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS | If she had a flower for every time she thought about Alexander with each day that slipped on by then she’d walk forever in a garden that stretched for miles on end. There was never a doubt in her mind that the dangers he faced out there were unfathomable. Just knowing that there was a good chance that he could lose his life out there tied her stomach in knots. All men must die, but she prayed the day didn’t come that Alex’s came in the hands of the wretched clutches of the Orcs. Oh, and her brother too. She worried at times if Skylar would kill him too on the worst of days.
Her face was going to look like a ripe apple with how red her face burned. That was not fair. Did he even know how much those words mean to her? Surely, he wouldn’t jest about such heavy words. Word wouldn’t take long to travel across Rivendell to reach her brother’s ears of Alexander’s arrival. The greenette was curious as to how he’d react. Especially if there was any indication that they just suddenly shared a sweet kiss~ His fuse would light up faster than wizard could conjure up a spell. Her smile widened at the temptation. It was always amusing to get a rise out of her poor older brother~
“You'll have quite a bit of traveling to do... and once again, part ways from your home,” she wriggled her arm up to run her fingers through his hair. “Doesn't it get lonesome out there? Or does the company of your men keep you from yearning too much~?” Again, he did not play fair. Her heart began a series of stuttering in her chest at the gentle embrace and charming words. She had no reason to question the honorable services the rangers provide to protect the lands they hold dear.
“I could wile away the hours just being here, Alex.” She said warmly. “Time together never seems to be ever enough. Especially when it’s precious as this.” |

He had to admit, just standing here for the next few hours and holding her like she offered did seem tempting. But it might be best that they retreat to someplace more private in the meantime, lest Skylar find them. Not that it mattered, he was sure that the elven prince would probably hear about it sooner or later, then he might get all in a huff at the idea that Alex was getting cuddly and affectionate with his sister. He had to admit, part of him enjoyed seeing Skylar all worked up. Elves liked to give off this appearance that absolutely nothing could phase them. It was one thing he noticed when he visited. But she was right, it did get lonesome at times being all the way away from home. Not to mention that he often adopted an alias when traveling so he could simply vanish into another land if need be. "I normally go alone. Sometimes a couple decide to accompany me, but usually I'm on my own out there." There were a lot of rangers who believed that if they all left then the North would be in grave danger. To be honest, that was a fair assumption. But there was also the fact that some of them preferred the North and didn't really want to travel out of Eriador, or what was left of Arnor. Alex tilted his head down a bit, nuzzling into Seyka's green locks. "But I am serious about what I said; while I'm here, I wouldn't mind spending my time alone with you." He reaffirmed. After all, when it became public knowledge that Beriadan had come back to Rivendell, he doubted that Skylar would leave Seyka alone with him for very long. So with that in mind, he would get as much time as he could with her before that happened. "If there is any place you'd like to go, melmë endanyo, then I would like to accompany you." He figured that might get her going. tags: Seyka Rozengalenotes: >w> she should follow him on his trip CODED BY ELECTRIC OF GS

MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS | Her smile didn’t once falter from her lips. Though they couldn’t prolong their public display of affection any longer less they guarantee enough time for her brother to keep them at a distance. Putting Alexander and Skylar in the same room aside from official business was certainly amusing, but she wasn’t up for the shenanigans quite yet. The green-haired elven princess wanted to spend as much time as she could with him alone. Who knew when would be the next time she'd see him?
As much as she didn’t want to she placed a wedge between them parting their embrace. She slid one arm back to her side while the other laced between his fingers. Seyka could feel the pads where calluses formed of handling reigns of a horse, or the sword of a bow. Perhaps even from the use of a sword. Whatever it was his hands were rough to the touch but she paid little to such things. Little details of how much stronger he’s become. “Come,” was her only response.
She led him on a bit of a walk taking the back ways to avoid anybody spotting them. Less the witnesses there were then there would be no tracks to trace them. “What's it like out there? Outside of home?” she began, “It’s one thing to hear about the other countries… other places where denizens of middle-earth dwell, but to see it firsthand must be a completely different experience.” Her smile sobered to a more morose gleam. Different, indeed but more importantly, it was dangerous. No matter how hard she tried to convince her brother or the ruler of Imladris – they wouldn’t hear it. So not fair! Serena had more freedom than she did.
“Nothing escapes my ears. I’ve heard recently of Orcs becoming increasingly volatile. You can also feel in, right? An ill-boding that that floats in the air. Some say it’s a sign of an omen, others aren't certain.” |

Though his may have seemed rough and calloused from his time in the wild, hers were just as soft as ever. This was nice, even if he would rather be holding her in his embrace, he could settle for this for the moment. Once they were alone though, he would keep her in his grip, and he didn't really think she'd complain all that much. Perhaps he could still think of something, for the moment just giving the princess's hand a little squeeze of affection. He found it funny; for all his mannerisms, whenever he was around Seyka, he just found himself quite entranced. Perhaps it was best for him he didn't say that, lest she start pranking him much like Skylar. It came as no surprise though that she had heard word of the happenings of Middle-Earth. She had so many questions to; what was it like out there? Had he been aware of what was going on? Not only did she seem to check up on him, but he could tell that she was hungry for stories. So he walked alongside her, trying to find the best way to word it. "Yes, you have heard correctly, orcs have been becoming more restless and organized. I've spoken with Serena, they're starting to encroach on Mirkwood as well. So far it's nothing that the rangers and I haven't been able to handle, and she hasn't been having much trouble with them either." He hoped she wasn't worrying too much, he was doing his best to calm her heart. "The rest of the world is... odd. Refreshing, but odd. There are so many different customs and cultures, I have to adapt or remain distant. The scenery doesn't quite compare to Imladris, however." No, he had yet to find quite a place as beautiful and homely as Imladris. Considering how far he had traveled, he doubted he ever would. Another issue, however. They were alone, taking a separate path to keep from being found, and there was a slight sense of mischief growing inside him. Breaking her grip on his hand, Alexander quickly leaned down and placed one arm behind Seyka's legs, attempting to sweep her off her feet and into his arms. tags: Seyka Rozengalenotes: >:3 dooo iiiiit worry skylar endlessly CODED BY ELECTRIC OF GS
