001.  outwardly a guild of models and hosts, there is a depth to the guild. eve and his fellow mages are trained in information gathering and infiltration as well as sorting information and understanding its value. small details sometimes matter the most.
002.  due to the torture suffered during the nirvana arc, eve has more scars than most people would expect the ‘sweet boy’ to have. eve has complicated feelings about them; he generally prefers for people to not see them---mostly because he does not like to talk about it.

While Lisanna had known her selected job would take a few weeks, at the time 'a few weeks' hadn't seemed that long at all. Now that she had returned from said job... well - "Eve! Eve! Eve!!" she rushed towards him, hands finding both of his, her smile bright and eyes alight. "It's been forever! How are you? How is everyone? Did you miss me? I missed you! And everyone else too!" She would have thrown her arms around him and hugged him, yet she was aware her excitement might lead her to hug him all too tightly.
A smile split his face in half as he squeezes her hands for the half second that she was holding onto his before he returned the hug that Lisanna seemed to have decided on. Ah. He hardly minded it, quite the opposite. '' Welcome back, Lisanna, '' he said calmly as blue eyes briefly inspected her, simply to assure that she was fine, that she had not been injured on her job. She appeared to be safe and sound, a simple fact that gladdened his heart.
He was someone who worried. Even when he knew someone was capable, he could not avoid the thought that sometimes, personal skill did not matter. Windsor had been plenty skilled. Windsor was still dead now. Sometimes, bad things just happened, and that was a tragic aspect of life. The relief that flooded him was welcome. He was happy to see her again, happier that she was all right.
Carefully, he let go of her and instead offered her his arm. '' I can catch you up on all you missed, '' he promised as he gestured towards one of the gazebos in the guild garden. He did not think other guilds had those, but theirs was special. '' I was going to get tea, but you said you were almost back so I decided to wait so we could have tea together. As for how everyone has been---Ren is still rather . . . down, so Hibiki decided to drag him out on a job. ''
Hibiki had asked Eve if he wanted to come along, but he had cited a previous engagement and opted to stay behind in Dahlia to instead await Lisanna's return. But that was not the point, right now.
He smiled, eyes focused on one of the sunflowers. They did tend to remind him of Lisanna. '' And yes, '' he admitted as he gently squeezed her arm. '' I did miss you while you were gone . . . and I'm really curious how your job panned out. You mentioned something about clowns being involved? ''
Perhaps the next time, they would be able to take on a job together.

Lisanna Loves being in high places
eve was born in the mountains, and many of his magic lessons with his mother took place during hikes. he may no longer climb trees the way he did as a kid, but he appreciates the view from ren's penthouse apartment a lot.
some meme i reblogged months ago.

eve enjoyed a good joke but really, sometimes, things were just taken too far. and when that happened, it stopped being funny. and things were only funny as long as everyone was laughing---and he had not laughed from the start so. ugh. bracing himself, he looked at lyon and mustered his best apology expression. it was not very good; he rarely had to apologise because he rarely overstepped boundaries. right now, he deeply regretted that he had not stopped the civilian recruits from poking and prodding at lyon, it was just not . . . nice. '' i should say that i'm sorry on their behalf, '' he said quietly. awkwardly.
( @wintrhaven liked for a starter ------ betrayed by bones )

there were many things in recent time that were stressing eve. and mother mountain, how he hated to be stressed. people who did not know him well might say that it was because being stressed was a contradiction to his persona as his team's designated cute little brother, but the truth was that eve found that stress made him sleep badly and when he slept badly, he was grumpy. he did not like being grumpy, not because of his persona but because he did not feel like himself when he was a grumpy person. he was, at the end of the day, more than his persona, thank you very much.
Tumblr media
'' that, hibiki, was a horrible pun, '' he complained, but a tiny smile---a sincere one, this time---crept onto his face. it did linger for a bit as like most people, eve liked to be told that his ideas were good, but then, it faded a bit. '' ren took windsor's death quite hard. i mean, we all did, but---hibiki, that was ren's dad. i was glad that master bob grounded him for a time, but i also think that the council is wrong to expect ren to be ready to go back out already. still---it's how things are looking at the moment, so i was hoping that if he goes with someone he trusts, it won't be as bad for him. ''
apricious​:
there was a certain measure of peace in the knowledge that he could rely on hibiki, even amidst all this. but then—hibiki had always been something akin to a reliable older brother to eve. that was par of the course, by now. what had changed was that now, ren seemed to be more ready to engage with his emotions. while this should have been a reason for joy, eve found himself worried. he could figure why, but that only worried him more. 
Tumblr media
‘‘ the council wants ren to go on a scouting quest. ’’ he was not exactly supposed to talk about this, not yet at least, but eve knew how to prioritise his loyalties. and his team ranked higher than the council. ‘‘ they want it to be a solo gig, but—i don’t think that’d be good for him. i’m working on getting jura neekis to back my proposition on sending someone along with him. if no one from our guild, then maybe at least someone he trusts. if not sherry—though i think they are getting along right now?—then maybe someone from mermaid heel. i’d trust arania to keep ren in line. ’’
his hand fell from eve’s hair — he didn’t want to mess it up, of course — but it lingered on eve’s shoulders regardless. whether he was anchoring himself or comforting eve, hibiki was still not sure. still, the news made him frown just slightly. hibiki was getting kind of tired of doing favors for the council…but master bob said it would help with longterm plans. not even hibiki was aware of what those plans were, but he trusted master bob.
Tumblr media
“jura is always a rock solid choice.” he couldn’t help his joke and thus, he smiled again. “in all seriousness, i do not like the idea of ren going off alone, either. ideally, one of us if not both could go with him.” alas, if the council wanted just ren they probably didn’t want himself or eve. “i trust your assessment on arania. i do believe ren and sherry are getting along, but the arania angle may be the better one to actually push for.” hibiki trusted eve on those details, really. he was a great negotiator! hibiki felt a rush of affection for eve but then, the third of their trio. “i will admit, i do worry for ren these days.” it was more a question than statement.

I'm on the wrong blog to be an Anna hater, but friendly reminder that there's strong canon evidence she left behind her own child to go 400 years into the future 🤨

what kind of soul are you ?
you are a newborn soul
you are tolerant, accepting, and willing to give anyone a chance. on the flip side, you’re easy to read and easily influenced by others. you have a fresh perspective on life, and you can be very creative. nonconformist and nontraditional, you’ve never met anyone who’s like you. inventive and artistic, you like to be a trendsetter. you have an upbeat spirit and you like almost everything. you make friends easily and often have long standing friendships. impulsive and trusting, you fall in love a little too easily. souls you are most compatible with:
bright star soul
dreaming soul

“Eternal” Barn Owl, 24"x18" oil on panel. Painted for my current exhibit, “Featherlight” at the Crary Gallery. A lot I could say about this one but I really enjoy the idea that everyone takes their own meaning!
