Breaking Through The Barriers

Darcy picked himself up from off of the ground now, his eyes firmly focused on Nai'a. He smiled at her, his eyes shining. "Thanks for making me want to believe in myself more. There is actually a talent competition going on soon and I was thinking of entering it, but I shall most definitely enter it now because thanks to you, you've given me that grit, focus and determination in which I needed," he remarked, his smile widening. "I was about to give up on my dreams and tried to hide them by trying to be a novice salesman but I think singing... y'know, it's something I ought to be doing more of. It brings me so much peace and helps me during the tough times." He stretched his arms out wide, his muscles flexing from the amount of time he'd spent sitting next to Nai'a.

He was so happy at the prospect of having someone whom he could talk to now, whom he could relate to. "I look forward to the many happy memories we shall share, remember Nai'a, if you ever need me - I'm here. You've given me so much through your kind and honest words, it's the least I could do for somebody like you," he exclaimed, sensing her happiness at the thought of them now being able to have that friendship. He noticed the brief, pained expression on her face and felt a slight trickle of guilt but shrugged this off the same way Nai'a had done. He sensed Nai'a had been through a lot, that she had gained her wisdom from her past. Either way, she was a beacon of light for Darcy, a shining star.

He could feel the cold air press against him now as he stood there and carefully hauled his bagpack back over his shoulder. "You have a monkey? Meka? How cute!" Darcy didn't have a pet but he so longed for one. He quickly reverted his thinking back on the subject of going home though. "Okay, I'll meet you. I actually have some kind of ball to go to with a few friends tomorrow evening, you're more than welcome to come too, but in fact, I'd be more than happy to spend it doing whatever you wanted to." He looked at Nai'a now with a wide expression on his face, in all honesty, he just wanted to see her again and spend more time with her.

Breaking Through The Barriers

Nai’a was ecstatic that she had helped the young man out, his words made her fill with untold happiness, happiness she could never be able to put into words. He mentioned a talent contest, and she rushed out the words in her mind, “You HAVE to enter that contest. Or I will hunt you down and drag you to it.” Nai’a laughed, letting him know she was joking.. Kind of anyways, as he continued on speaking Nai’a stayed quiet the whole time, with a small smile on her face.

Then he mentioned the Winter Ball, and this made her grow frantic, she didn’t have a dress!! ”Are you sure it is tomorrow, I thought it was on the 85th of Winter?? Please tell me you got the dates confused!” A frantic expression crossed her face, she did not want to go to the ball in a ugly dress, and all the dresses would be picked through if she were even 3 weeks late at shopping for a dress. Then it would be somewhat pointless to go, she loved pretty dresses, and would not go to the ball otherwise.

”I must go see if the shops are still opened! But I am pretty sure you have your dates wrong, the ball should be on the 85th. At least the Zeltiva one. Either way I will see you at the ball I hope, if not tomorrow. Sorry to rush off, but I must find a dress for this ball, it is urgent.” Nai’a gave Darcy a quick hug and peck on the cheek and waved at him as she rushed off into the distance franticly, worried that she would not have a pretty dress to wear to the Seasonal Event.




OOCThe Winter Ball in Zeltiva is the 85th of Winter. Just letting you know. You made my character all worried and stressed out about finding the "perfect" dress by mentioning it. LOL I enjoyed our little thread, I hope there is more to come. Pm me if you have any ideas of threads ;)
Due to college I will not be as active as I was. Sorry, but do not give up on me :)! I will reply ASAP

BOARD NOW CLOSED, FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF CONTINUING THIS FOR THE PRIVATE BALL/TALENT CONTEST IN THE UNFORESEEABLE FUTURE~ :)

Darcy laughed at Nai'a's threat about dragging him to the talent contest. That would actually be pretty funny, getting dragged down to the contest by a beautiful, pink haired lady - maybe it'd give me extra brownie points! His eyes gleamed as he looked around him again, a happy sigh escaping him. "Okay Nai'a, I'll take your word for it," he laughed, a big grin spreading across his face.

As soon as she mentioned about the ball, Darcy started to get worried. The 85th of Winter, but I was sure it was tomorrow? He felt his face scrunch up whilst he was deep in thought, the palms of his hands clasped together. "I'm not sure, maybe this is a different one? All I know is, I was invited by an old friend, George - who has an only sister called Harriet. I don't really have any friends as I told you and I haven't seen George in ages... but as a child, I was sort of a playmate to him and I suppose this is the only reason as to why he has invited me. He is extremely wealthy, maybe this could be a different ball entirely, all I know is that this one is being held at his parents' house - it is massive. Please don't get worried about going, I'm more than happy to attend on my own, I suppose this is more of a private ball but every person whom is invited is allowed to bring someone along with them," he explained.

Darcy saw how frantic Nai'a was and tried to reassure her. "Please don't worry about finding a dress too much, it won't be the end of the world. I shall meet you tomorrow at the same time and place you stated, don't worry I've got it all saved in here!" He pointed to his brain and laughed some more, accepting her quick embrace but not fully expecting the peck on the cheek. He blushed slightly, stroking his cheek from her ever so sweet gesture. She's so lovely. He stared at her one last time, taking in her pretty pink hair and eyes before waving back at her, smiling and then watching her pelt off into the distance until she was no more.

Darcy clutched his bagpack which was still hanging loosely over his shoulder and made a turn back for home. Over the hills and rocks he walked, until eventually, he made it back - his head still spinning from all that had happened. He unlocked the door to his modest cottage and smiled, stepping into his home. He instantly undressed and got ready to go to sleep - he felt so tired and he was pretty certain Nai'a must have been too. He felt his eyes grow heavy and then... he was off. Fast asleep was Darcy.

OOCSorry, I've only just seen your little notes underneath your posts! I sorted out the timestamp after your first post, I think and umm.. yeah, feel free to let me know if you like the direction that this is going in - this won't be the actual 'proper ball' - more of a personal, discreet kind of affair, I want to make this roleplay as fun and varied for us both as possible! I'm looking to join more threads too, so I'm up for anything! ^^
