    Summary

    Laios decides the best way to choose a marriage partner is to throw a tournament where suitors will have to compete for his hand in marriage. Kabru is totally normal and not jealous about this. He organizes the whole thing, and rests uneasily knowing Laios will be married (and unobtainable) soon enough.

    His plans to stay carefully removed from the equation are thwarted when Kabru learns he's been entered into the tournament. And, well, given the chance to compete, he decides to utterly render his competition to dust.

    Summary

    "This isn't how it was supposed to go. They had been rash and so excited to share something personal with Kabru that Laios had lost track of him in the middle of it. Did Kabru hate him now? Was this breach of personal boundaries too much? He sees those blue eyes starring into nothing, looking so deep in a thought in a place Laios can't reach, and then-

    Anger.

    A swirl of ocean blue and a golden shine from the sun; working together to send a beam of fear and fury right into his very soul. Laios wants to never have to see that face again. The way Kabru's nose scrunched up in disdain and his eyebrows furrowed. Edges creasing between his eyes. Kabru looks so unlike himself when he does that. Laios hates the fact that he ended up being the reason for Kabru's wrath, but what exactly did the royal advisor hear in that music that upset him so?"

    __

     

    Kabru Of Utaya and what it means to be a part of a culture. To see it misinterpreted and abused, as well as one's inability to do anything about it. How can Kabru possibly handle the complexity of an identity, when his name has been spread so thin you can barely see where it began and where it ended?

     

    Or, or: Kabru VS Cultural Appropriation.
