And you couldn't think of anywhere better? You're going to have a time trying to figure out just what would make me walk away from something as important as my family, and my duties.
I just....I hope you know what you're doing. Game or no game, I'll be worried sick either way.

[ Let her be...a bit surprised for a moment. ]
Pardon me, you think I'd be used to all this magic by now.
Do you think so? I can't say I've heard much about it, I'm...not exactly looking forward to being away from my family either.
no subject
[What is this sorcery?]
I think we're all away from our families there... b-but it's not such a bad thing. We're all there to make sure our families and friends stay safe from the Mist.
Well... I know at least Kronk and I are.
no subject
[ She sighs, a downcast look on her face. ]
I suppose it isn't that easy. I hate bein' away from them. Who knows what disaster I'll come back to, and I won't be doing any good there and not with them.
no subject
[Oooh dear... the poor lady.]
If you're able to find a way to stop the Mist, you would be. Because then it couldn't hurt them, not ever.
That's why I'm there... I don't want Mother or Cornelius getting stuck in that... that... awful stuff.
no subject
[ Well, if the grey hair is any indication. ]
I've a whole kingdom to worry about, the three clans, my boys, my daughter.
Oh, look at me, talking to a wee person about my family.
I don't suppose it's impossible, but I've had enough of awful stuff, and magic and curses. I just want---I want to be there for them.
[ Imagining her boys as well as Merida, alone and scared? Well, she's sure Merida could hold her own, but that wasn't the point. ]
no subject
That... is a lot of people to worry about! I can see why you don't want to leave them. B-but maybe they'll come to the Academy too!
no subject
Well. I'll hope, but---[ Augh, she seems so crestfallen. ]
All of them will be up in arms over anyone missing, I'd rather them all come instead of just one. Nearly had the castle in shambles the last time. What I wouldn't give to avoid that mess again.
no subject
You could tell them you were going away for a bit and where you'd be if they needed you, right?
no subject
That's just it though, dear; they always need me, whether they think so or not.
no subject
Oh... I guess that does make it really hard to leave, then...
no subject
Yes, well...that's what happens, when you're a mother. Now if they were grown men, It'd be different.
[ ....even Fergus? ]
no subject
Does... that mean it's really hard for my mother right now without me home?
[Oh no! She never meant to do something that horrible to her mother...]
no subject
Maybe, but if she's strong enough to take care of you, then I'm sure, she's just fine.
no subject
no subject
[ She's fighting a smile on that one. Wee person or not, she's still a cutie. ]
no subject
Well, I think Mother is strong-willed. So she should be okay, right?
no subject
[ Thumbelina, you are precious. ]
no subject
I wouldn't want Mother to feel bad!
Just saw it a couple of days ago. It was great! Good luck with the app.
[The idea is...well, new. It's probably more expected that Merida go off somewhere, not Elinor.]
It was! Oh thank you!! <33
It isn't looking that way, however.
You haven't run your dear mundane ragged yet now, have you?
I loved the music so much. I know apps can be daunting sometimes and worry people.
[This is Mom. The queen. How can she not have a say in something, really?]
You won't have anyone else from home there? No dad?
[Merida bites her lip, an 'innocent' smile in place as she brushes some hair from her face.]
I don't know what you mean. I just barely got here.
[Barely time to cause any chaos. Yet. But Elinor worrying about her...Merida doesn't want that. She understands her mother has reason to fret about the wee ones, but her? She could manage, had helped her mother a lot more recently. But she too is wary of the idea of the queen leaving.]
aha! i'm listening to it as I write, it's gorgeous. nah, ive written a ton of apps for this place :P
[ Hey, that's her thoughts exactly. ]
No one. And you know how that went, yer father learning I had gone missing.
[ Terribly, it went terribly. Beyond terribly, really. ]
Oh, your mundane, that person behind you. You haven't caused them any more trouble you've been causing me then?
[ It's meant in a loving way, truly. ]
So gorgeous. And heh, then it might not be so bad. Never apped there myself.
....Yeah, we don't really want a repeat of that again. Reckon everything was just calming down after all that, to have you disappear on him again now.... [Well. Merida is doubtful it would go down too well. At all.]
No, of course not. [....Yet.]
It's not too bad, I'd look into it! :P
[ She's trying to be a bit optimistic about it, no matter how terrible she's thinking it's going to be. ]
Wouldn't want him taking it out on the four of you, no matter what or where I am. Don't need the boys driving him through with a spit now either, they'll be just as anxious as he will.
They're worse than I ever was, I'll warn you now.
If I end up looking at another game it's a possibility. Not actively looking atm though.
Well, this wouldn't be my fault! But I still don't think he would take it too well. Neither would the wee devils. They'd....we'd miss you.
[Because after everything, Merida knows and appreciates that Elinor was just trying her best, had been there for her, in fact. Just in her own way, different than her carefree father.]
Doesn't seem too bad, so far at least.
ah, well! it's always worth a look.
Well, so far, I'd hope, what with you just arriving and all.
I kind of like the idea of a disney specific game at least.
Well, not like I've been here too long yet to say for sure. But I guess it could be worse.
It has it's ups and down, not too much like toontown, but close enough. xP
Heh, right.
no subject
I'm not so worried about myself now, not nearly as much I am about you, and your father and the boys.
You take care of them, alright? Don't let your father...well, lock any of you up, really, or lose his temper. You held your ground against him before, I'm sure you can do it again.
no subject
[Even if that had meant she had fought against her father, knowing he was stronger. She couldn't let him do that, knew it would upset him to find out the truth even if he hadn't really believed it at the time.]
no subject
And you didn't. That's what matters. You'll all be alright; your father will handle himself, I'm sure. A wee bit on edge, but he'll be just fine.
Just...don't let the three of them tear the castle down, that's all.
no subject
[She isn't going to make any promises. Because, well this is Fergus and the triplets here but still. She'd try and do what she could to keep things in some semblance of control and order in Elinor's absence.
no subject
I know all too well the importance of the obligations our mundanes expect us to walk away from.
I do not know what circumstances you are taken from, but I know you will weather it well, My Lady.
no subject
Oh my, that's very kind of you, I'll be doing my best. Apologies, I'm still not used to this...otherworldly business.
no subject
That is quite alright. I am just as new to it myself. It is odd to encounter others who have not heard of Skyrim or Tamriel.
no subject
I'm sure family will come to you soon enough. The leader of a rebellion, that does sound like you haven't the time. Whichever is most important.
I should hope where you live is as beautiful as it sounds, Skyrim, and Windhelm. Pardon my saying so, but they sound as though they're right out of a fairytale.
no subject
I lead the rebellion against the Empire of Tamriel who forfeited their right to rule when they surrendered to the Aldmeri Dominion and allowed them to dictate the gods we can and cannot worship. Part of the treaty forbade the worship of Talos, a man so great that he brought peace to the world and was recognized by the Divines themselves and granted a place among them. Those... elves would strip us of our heritage, our faith, and our very way of life simply for their own amusement.
Skyrim is my home, and the most beautiful province in Skyrim as well as the harshest. Amidst her snowy fields boys are carved into men by the sweat of their brow and the strength of their arm. There is nothing more important to me and I would gladly lay down my life to see her freed.
[Once his politician moment fades, he clears his throat a bit.] My apologies... I have not even introduced myself. My name is Ulfric Stormcloak.
no subject
Oh my, don't apologize. A man who holds such a passion for his land and people, goodness, you sound just like Fergus in one of his stories. You must be a prominent speaker.
You may call me Elinor. Would Lord Stormcloak suffice, or do you prefer...?
[ She's not sure how to address him, how embarrassing. ]
no subject
[Meet Ulfric, the most casual Jarl in Skyrim when it comes to titles. ...Well, until that title becomes High King of Skyrim anyway.]
