Family Hassles (Private)

Private rp between me and Madness123

Kiragi was feeling rather down this year. He had been invited to the royal country house this year. A lonely house up near the middle of nowhere. The snow was piling up and it would be hard for everyone to get up there. But Xander , Ryoma and Corrin made this a big deal , stressing it as a major thing to celebrate the festive mood together. They were very clear about that to mead old issues and stuff. So there was no fooling. Kiragi was feeling restless , winter was a poor time for game hunting so he was kinda stuck with the group which were often all downers who never wanted to do anything in the snow. He was trekking up , wrapped in his best furs , hoping someone would already be there with a warm fire going.

Silas was heading up the hill with his hourse. The snow falling lightly but he didn't mind seeing he could easily plow though the drifts on horseback. He didn;t want to let Corrin down so he was going to do his utmost to keep the peace that was sure to be hard to keep with old rivalries and grievances showing up. He soon reached the main door and put his horse in the stable and headed through the front doors. He dusted the snow off and went about preparing form food and other things for new arrivals , he wasn't sure if everyone would make it. The house itself was on the border , a mansion crossed with both Hoshidan and Nohrian styles. A odd mix but very wintry with big fireplaces and colourful decorations everywhere.

Caeldori was soaring above, mounted on her pegasus. Since everyone was arriving so rag-tag, she was simply making sure no one ran into trouble. And practicing her poor weather flying while she was at it. She was pretty good, but the heavy winter winds were no push over. More than once, she had almost sent her pegasus diving into a patch of trees. And she was getting tired. She had spotted most of the guests on their way, by one means or another. Camilla and Hinoka were flying through this weather, the larger dragon having little trouble. Hinoka, rather than taking her weaker pegasus, had hitched a ride on Camilla's wyvern. It seemed that the princesses, at least, had taken the getting along part to heart. Or Camilla had kidnapped her. The Hoshidan princess certainly didn't look happy. Most of the others were walking, a few on horseback. The snow was bad for all kinds of travel, really.

As she turned her pegasus to start heading back, she spotted someone in the distance. It was Kiragi, although Takumi was nowhere to be found. He looked quite sad, trudging along in the snow wrapped up in heavy furs. No room for his usual energy with such slow going. He was small, too...she needed to practice riding her pegasus with a passenger. Turning once again, she flew towards him. "Kiragi!" she shouted as she descended. "Want a ride!?" Her pegasus lowered itself to the ground near the prince, carefully setting itself down to keep its footing in the snow.

Kagero had arrived with Lord Ryoma and Lady Corrin. Normally, she would always be by one of their sides, watching, but this was supposed to be a house of peace. She didn't "have" to be guarding anyone at the moment. But she wasn't sure what else to do, in n empty house this size filled with people who had been enemies a short time ago. So instead, she was slipping about in the shadows, watching the new arrivals to make sure they weren't up to any trouble. This one seemed relatively innocent. A Nohrian knight who she had seen following Corrin before. Still...he was cooking, and there was always something that could be amiss there.

The ninja watched for a short while, hidden in the shadows of the kitchen. She should have sent a replica to watch the front door, others could be arriving. This man wasn't doing anything dangerous. His food did look good, however. None of the royals were cooks, and since Lady Corrin's attendants hadn't arrived yet, Kagero had yet to eat today. She stood, ready to go somewhere and deploy a replica, when her stomach grumbled loudly. Blushing, the ninja froze, hoping the sound wouldn't give her position away to the knight.

Kiragi paused , slotted an arrow into his bow and whipped round to shoot down whoever called him since he wasn't expecting company on his trek. Coming face to face with Caeldori he stopped and sighed , lowering the bow and slinging the heavy wooden weapon up over his back. "A ride. Sure that sounds great , at least I cat there and dry off sooner" he said , shaking his head and dusting the snow off him as he swam through the snow to get close enough to mount up. Being smaller than her he got up in front of her rather than behind and need to hold onto her waist. This was less awkward , at the expense of being a little more immature. After all this was how you would ride if you had a small kid. The boy shivered , the girl's warmth heating him up a little. He should have packed some furs to wear. He could hunt some but it would be dangerous out in this weather.

The knight went upstairs and found himself an empty guest room and took his armour and weapons off and put them to one side. Not good form to attend a festive like you were ready for a fight. Heading downstairs he went to the kitchen and started to make himself something warm to heat up. He settled on some mulled wine and some warm sweet treats , heating them up in the oven and spooning himself out a portion into a clay cup and took a sip. Sighing he listened to the silence and heard a grumbled of a tummy that wasn't his own "Hello , is anyone home?" he called out "it's not polite to leave me here in the dark. Might as well come out and introduce yourself. I've got some food on the go if you want some" he called out to the emptiness.
