Sophiea had spent her birthday over in Tanglewood seeing it had been her first home and her cousin was there, she didn't wish to make the trip to the Typhoon that say especially after being drained from the past issues from the last few days. She had spent the day in the most relaxed matter that she could, Eternalknight having borrowed a tea set so the British woman could actually have her morning tea. It was shortlived bliss seeing as it was borrowed but it had been enough to make her feel better and not as angry. It made her happy and well, that was something she didn't feel as much whenever she rose from her slumber waking up to Tanglewood each morning. Sophiea was homesick, she missed her younger siblings, she missed her grandparents but most of all... She missed her kingdom and all the people that had lived there. Tanglewood might have began to slowly fill that hole in her heart but it wasn't enough, she was uncertain if she'd ever find a place to call her own. Maybe she was overthinking it.
"You always seem to do that you daft fool," She mumbled to herself with a frown pulling down at the sides of her mouth, Sophiea tried not to think much about it given the fact that these people living within the swamp were slowly getting accustomed to her. Would it be selfish if she went back home without a word to Eternalknight? She grew irritable at her own thoughts as she slipped her satchel over her body before glancing at the family crest that clung to the bag. Her eyes softening for a moment "This could become home over time..." She sighed out with a shake of her head and walked out of her home already having a few Tanglers greeting her, Sophiea only offering a wave of her wing not bothering to stop for pleasantries. She was already making her way to the entrance of the town when a few children tumbled in front of her, her ears pressing flat against her skull. "Careful," Was all the British woman would say as she walked around them with a small wiggle of her small tail.
As much as she would've loved to stick around the swamp that was seemingly flooded with new children, Sophiea chose to go to the Typhoon where she could probably have space to breathe. Maybe she would see a few new faces and actually introduce herself to the pirates, Sophiea had no interest in any of them aside from a select few but, if she was going to have some sort of dual allaince there... Then she would have to present herself, right? Her thoughts cluttered in her mind as her walking would grow faster and it wasn't long before she was out of the swamp, a faint smile forming itself onto her maw. "Oh, that would be rich coming from you." She mused with a shake of her cranium until the sound of a shriek from above caught her attention, Archimedes flying above her head, and it was comforting in a sense even if it felt a bit bad that the owl never did stay with her cousin. Nonetheless, she did not mind the presence of her screech owl even if she did envy the fact that he could fly and she couldn't. "One day," She said in a determined voice, Stryker might have taken her flight but it hadn't beaten her spirit.
Soon enough, the winged woman reached the gates of the Typhoon and grimaced at the sight of Stryker's head "Arsehole." Sophiea would hiss at him half tempted to swat at the decapitated lion's face but that probably wouldn't be the best idea, she was sure that the newest Captain wouldn't enjoy her trophy being ruined. Shaking out her coat, Sophiea let out a snort already making a beeline for her home only to see a few pirates beginning to greet her. She was tempted to give them the same dismissive behavior she had done over in Tanglewood but she would say with a slow nod "Afternoon," Once she arrived at her home, she began the process of shaking the sand off of her paws watching as Archimedes flew on top of the house and resting on his perch. Sophiea found an expression of amusement on her face for a moment only to open the door of her home setting the satchel next to the entrance, when her head rose was she almost taken back by the sight of Goldenluxury.
Her fur fluffing up momentarily before she would ease it down with a paw feeling her face beginning to grow warm "Ah hello, miss Roux. I didn't see you there... I just about startled myself," A quiet chuckle leaving her as she approached with her eyes fixated onto Goldie but when she moved them away from the tigress did her gaze lock onto the tea set. The once quiet flutters of her heart now thumping loudly in her ears, her pupils beginning to grow large at the gorgeous set. She might have borrowed it, I'm sure, Sophiea thought with her ears pressing against her skull. "Ah, this is a rather lovely set that you've borrowed." She sat across the other on the chair, a shy smile appearing on her maw. Her ears perked up realizing that there was actually some liquid within the small teacup that was for her and for a moment, she was convinced that it was tea until the aroma of apple juice brushed against her nose. Her smile becoming moreso amused by the second, Sophiea lifted her cup nodding slowly to the former captain "Cheers, I suppose."
After taking a sip from her apple juice, the British woman cleared her throat unsure of what else to say at the moment. All that she was able to feel or think was how strong the tigress was and how breathtaking she was though Sophiea didn't wish to overwhelm her. It would be selfish of her. Even if her heart faced and her stomach would flip whenever Goldie was around. Sophiea hadn't even considered this scenario being for her birthday, she normally just spent it like any other day except she was alone for the most part on her day. Even Averill and her other younger siblings were usually chased off on her birthday, Sophiea could always recall Eternalknight telling them that he'd show them how to properly hold a sword. It was just a day to her anyways... Even if it meant something else to any other person if they were asked.
Once she realized that she had gotten lost in her own thought, Sophiea would clear her throat a second time deciding that it would be best to apologize to her guest "I apologize for my silence, Goldie... I sincerely appreciate this. It was very thoughtful and considerate of you." She placed the teacup down carefully onto its plate unable to push the amused smile on her face "I enjoyed the apple juice, it definitely is sweet and a nice break from tea... Every now and then," A soft purr slipping from the smaller feline as she adjusted the ribbon that was wrapped around her throat, her ears lowering themselves in a shy manner. Sophiea wished to express and say more but... She had to remind herself that Goldenluxury recovering and the last thing that the British woman wanted to do was spill her feelings out only to possibly overwhelm Goldie. Especially when the tigress was trying to situate herself back into a life of someone who was a mighty captain and despite her being different from her old self. Sophiea saw no change, she had not been broken when learning Goldie had lost her memories. That was still Goldenluxury Roux.
This was still the woman that she had fallen for.
