Nesta: We need more help. Maybe I should call my friends.

Rhysand: … Your what?

Nesta: My friends.

Feyre: Is she saying “friends”?

Elain: I think she’s being sarcastic.

Azriel: No, no, no, this is delirium, she cracked from being awake all night trudging up and down the stairs.

Cassian: Hey, Nesta! All of your friends are in this room… unless you see anyone else? *whispers* —it better not be another “mating gift MONSTER”—

Amren: You lie! I am no one’s friend.

Nesta: I have other friends! You asked me to make new friends, I made new friends! It was a task. I complete tasks.

Cassian: Hi, my name is task! Can you complete—

Everyone: NO!

Gwyn: It’s such a beautiful evening.

Nesta, whispering: Take that you fucking lake

Emerie: Yes! New high score!

Since (haven’t read CC yet) 3 Maasverse main characters thus far are artists in one way or another (something I love in fandoms and especially these/Maasverse)

With:

Aelin the musician (composer/piano forte player) & appreciator of the arts. Fashionista. & semi-ballerina.

Nesta the dancer (a lil lovely scene tidbit I thought was freeing and mostly fun)

And of course Feyre THE Artist (& best example as this is crucial to how she sees the world).

Especially with the latter 2 in ACOTAR & our Archerons; even their father was a wood carver/sculptor… (let’s stick with the latter phrase… cause it’s too soon for carver to be heard as anything other than CREEPY “bone carver”😅) … so that leaves us with one; Elain.

Random HC here but: what if Elain’s a singer?

Specifically thought of this because of a certain other “singer in the series” ;-) *psst* Azriel the “shadowsinger” cause while I know that’s not what they meant, it sounds fun to me :-)

*Nesta at group-therapy/dinner in ACOSF*

Feyre, clears throat: So… Nesta what did you do today?

Nesta, staring at Rhys: I prevented a murder today.

Cassian: Oh, great job Ness!

Amren, smirking into her glass: How about asking her how?

Azriel, turning with suspicion: How?

Nesta, stabs fork into pasta: Self control.

Rhys, scoffs & drains glass: You wish!

Feyre: And what exactly does that mean?

Elain, sweetly muttering: I believe it was a slight to her capabilities when it comes to murder… Azriel be a deer and pass me a garlic roll?

Azriel, doing just that: I believe it was a “humble brag”.

Amren: Ah, yes cause “not getting murdered” is a standard worth of bragging about now.

Cassian: Trust me… It is when it comes to avoiding Nesta’s wrath…

Rhys, turning flippantly: I can’t tell who that’s a burn for?!

Cassian, twirls fork & gestures between them: That’s the point!

Mor: I’m still concerned that the murder threats are coming frequently enough to be bragged about in avoidance…

Rhys: —That’s because you’re avoiding everything and gone all the time!

Nesta: Perhaps we should be asking WHY exactly Rhys is such a murderable person?.. That even his third feels the need to be gone all the time in the first place, perhaps to avoid HIM? Hmm…

Elain, muttering: Sounds to me like Mor had the only good idea here…

Feyre, silverware clattering: None of this is the point or idea here! You were supposed to say something cute…like… I don’t know “reading”!

Rhys, muttering: Yes, because there’s no way an Archeron could make a book into a weapon dangerous enough for murder.

Feyre, swirling between them: OKAY! THAT’S IT! *rapidly grabbing dishes*

Elain, muttering: I knew it… No more spaghetti!

Rhys & Nesta, turning: What?!

Azriel: I told you…

Elain: — Spaghetti is just too much excitement.

Cassian, looking to his now being taken plate: I really thought we were over this by now.

Amren: And this is why I don’t eat humans-chokes-WITH humans… *winks*
