my bro from another ho

Puck

Did you get the name of that naiad last night?

J-Dawg

Are you fucking kidding me? I should punch you in the junk rn. My M O T H E R is livid

Puck

Oh, that explains a few things.

Puck

Uh, can you get someone with fire magic to come and help me de-ice the walls?

You wake up a little bleary-eyed and fuzzy-minded. It's strange. You don't really remembering overindulging last night, and yet here you are with the distinct sense that somehow you weren't making the best decisions. Faerie magic is funny like that.

But it's probably fine. It's not like you made any really poor life decisions, right? Like drunk-mirroring your fellow Faewild guests?

Oh. Oh no.

Better check your messages, and see what's in your Reflections from the Night Before.

Correct!

[alwaysaid]

[If only she knew about the fever dreams that haunt him in his sleep. Nightmares of waking up to blood-soaked sheets. A little gift from the Duchess to cast eternal doubt on his self-control. She tries to undermine his progress at every turn.]

The fact that you are alive, whole, and continue to trust me is more than enough to keep me going.

You didn't mean to send me that message, I gather.

[Nice recovery though by diverting him this long. His does have a tactical mind. It doesn't always come out in battle, but he is a long-lived knight]

[valsharess]

[ She may withhold information but when asked directly, she would not lie; she was shadowed but she had proven that she did have principles and her own honour system which she immaculately adhered to ]

You are correct, you may ask me to elaborate on my answer if you wish, or the context by which it is meant.

The question was as follows: "Gee, Miss Lethica, Sir Marius sure does keep his distance from you still, I am sure you would make a tasty snack though you're so pretty and sure do smell good."

I merely was pressing home the fact that I would not mind you closer, because I feel like distancing yourself from me would only make the hunger grow and that is counter-productive to what we are attempting to do, yes?

[alwaysaid]

[There go the ears again. He's sure of it. He can feel the burning heat of his own embarrassment slowly consuming him. Lethica's scent is a beacon to him. He would recognize it anywhere at this point. He could even track her via the scent of her blood if something were to happen]

Know that I distance myself for your safety. We still do not know how my...curse might affect others.

And you smell amazing

[valsharess]

I understand and I respect your bounderies, however as long as you continue to allow me to work with you to perhaps make the hunger more bearable, I too will assist in any way that I am able.

[ She is meditative before finally she types out the next part. ]

You need not have to bear this alone.

[alwaysaid]

It is my burden, Lethica. I do not mean to say that it is my burden alone to bear, but you are not the one who made the bed I lie in. You should not have to partake of the filth that comes from it.

[valsharess]

As I have chosen you to be my knight, I would never lower my pride to pick someone who was not up to my standards.

[ She had given her handkerchief to Marius, after all. ]

[alwaysaid]

[His fear is that he will harm her again. That the next time he sinks his fangs into her supple flesh, he will drain her until there's nothing left. However, Lethica has proven herself capable of outwitting him. She's more than able to hold her own against him. He trusts her to be able to take care of herself]

You truly don't fear me? Not even a shred of self-preservation?

[valsharess]

As you and I both know, I am made of cobwebs; that being said if I were to fear you then I would have to fear everything else that stands to run through me. As countless times you've been there to save me; I can and will forgive you, I think that you self-flagellate yourself enough without myself having to add to it, Marius.

[alwaysaid]

[He's certain his ears are burning again]

I suppose you do have a point. I brow-beat myself enough for the both of us.

Thank you, for your trust.

[valsharess]

That being said, you must learn to trust me to know when I need to misty step away. We can put safeguards in place that if I am unconscious, Briggsy or Jericho can step in-- but when I am lucid, you must trust me.

It physically hurts to type out Yorggie's name atm

[alwaysaid]

You would need Yorgrim to physically restrain me in a crazed vampiric state.

You are not the one I mistrust. I do not trust myself, Lethica.

*gives hugs*

[valsharess]

[ It was exceedingly hard to stymie wrath or the effects of it, she'd seen it in the way that Marius had held true to his standards, had used righteous indignation to fuel forward to his justice. It was admirable but she knew that it was like a wildfire and could go out of control with little prompting. ]

You know what is best for yourself, and I respect your decisions.. but please respect my ability to get out of there at a moment's notice.

[ She'd also seen how a slap had affected him, the way he'd turned from knight into a bruised puppy. ]

[alwaysaid]

Yes, I suppose I am beating myself up again. You have proven more than capable of using those shadows of yours to slip away if needed.

Leaving me grasping ironically at cobwebs in your wake.

[valsharess]

[ Ah, that causes Lethica to laugh, perhaps it is because those words have meaning. ] You can be sure that I will make a quick step backwards however, I will not go too far away, after all I am there to watch your back if you should need.

And what a nice back it is too.

[ Oops.. ] Oh dear, did I say that aloud?

[alwaysaid]

[HOW IS ALL OF HIS BLOOD RUSHING BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH AT THE SAME TIME?!!!!]

I - Well, thanks?

[Lathander truly blessed that booty!]

You do seem drawn to it.

[Teasing. He's trying for a teasing tone, but his attempts at playful jest are not always taken well by others over this device]

[valsharess]

[ Oh sweet Dhampir Grandpa, its fine Drow Grandma has your back-- but also she is not really good at reading tone over this devices. ]

Well it is rather hard to avoid, it is what one would call a blessing and I am here to enjoy the view however I am able.

If it makes you uncomfortable, I will avert my eyes respectfully.

[alwaysaid]

[He's such an old man at times and yet so youthful in his vigor for righteousness]

No. I mean, I can hardly forbid you from looking at me while my back is turned.

It doesn't bother me so much, if it's you.

[valsharess]

Very well then, I shall enjoy the view offered to me, it makes a rather nice companion piece to my tea.
