For Braedyn - We are all familiar with this kind soul, but what motivates her? Passion? Creativity? Benevolence? Duty?

"It was a good way to build up word of mouth for my business, when it was new. And I think most people enjoy a pastry and easy company. It is nice to see a mix of people and I want to encourage that in Silvermoon." She smiled warmly. ... And there's the gossip.

[TMIT]: For Tinn, what is something she's looking forward to?

She is looking forward to the Court of Eternity gala this weekend! Last weekend was a nice time at Fire Fest, but it's a very different feel than the gala will likely be. She is looking forward to a spa day prior to the gala and then head to the party.

"You wished for a word, Theras?"

The younger Dawnwing nodded, resting his elbows on the railing overlooking Mereldar. Behind the pair, through an open archway, was the library where the magister had spent much of the past few months in study.

"Please," Luminash nudged, "What is it? Why so formal?"

Theras raised one shoulder in response, a half shrug that reminded his father for a moment of himself, a dismissive gesture he had offered many a time before. His son would elaborate no further.

After a moment in silence, the young man picking at his sleeve, gaze focused somewhere in the misty distance of Hallowfall's cavern, he spoke, "Aneyah intends to travel to the surface. She wants to see the wider world, and I intend to go with her.”

“Hm,” Luminash replied, “You are sure of this?” There was no judgement or displeasure in his voice, for which his son let out a grateful sigh, “Though the work we do here is of the utmost importance, it will continue even with fewer hands.”

“That is another point, actually, father,” Theras said, turning from his overlook and towards the magister, “About the work, about it all really.”

Luminash canted his head, “What do you mean?”

“The Order of the Night preys on the hopeless. It creates hopelessness to expand its power,” the ranger answered, emphasizing each point with a motion of the hands, “So if our goal is eradication, pruning the branches does little good, wouldn’t you agree?”

The magister noted his son’s choice of words, his expectant question. He had been listening well to him and to Ryfus, it seemed. He had no choice but to nod in agreement.

“And the Primalists, too. Everyone like them has done the same, so why have we done nothing to save them before they are too far gone?” The young elf’s voice rose, touched by a drive Luminash recognized well, as if peering into a mirror.

“Aneyah hopes the Sacred Flame may bring that to the wider world. People left behind.”

“And she can scarcely do that alone, can she?” Luminash finished, offering his son an understanding smile, “Every great work, however peaceful, finds itself in need at times of a strong arm, does it not?”

Theras’ eyes flitted to his spear, resting against the doorway. He nodded in reply, although with some reluctance.

“Which brings me to my final point, father,” the ranger ventured.

“Ah, you have done well so far. I will hear you. What is your last concern?” Luminash approached the railing and leaned next to the younger Dawnwing.

“It is…about you. And Jaskian. Dalaran.” Theras, in that moment, found it hard to meet his father’s gaze, though it showed only curiosity, an invitation to continue, no anger.

“Do you ever feel that you have gone…still? Stagnant?” A twitch of the cheek in the magister. The word, like a spear itself, had hit its mark, “That you have found yourself reacting rather than acting?"

Luminash was silent, only the furrowing of his brow indicating any perturbation. The thought had clearly crossed his mind.

"I'd grown up hearing stories from Tel, about what my father was doing: you betrayed your own kingdom on your pilgrimage to Outland because you saw who the Sunfury had become. You agitated in Silvermoon against Kael'thas, even before his betrayal was known. You advocated for more exchange with the Horde in the early days. Your research—"

"Has raised many an eyebrow. You needn't list all of my accomplishments," Luminash cut in, a chill in his voice, "My research is precisely why I am here yet. Renilash—"

"Has become an obsession, father," Theras sighed, "All your work since the fall has been for your people. You saw a problem and you sought to solve it! But you are league beneath the earth, chasing down the Order of the Night with the only end being elimination. What about a solution? What about—"

Luminash's gloved fingers gripped the railing as his son's words washed over him. All were true, he knew, but a force he could scarcely explain held him here.

As much as it pained him, though, he had to try.

"Theras," Luminash snapped, stopping the young ranger short.

Stubborn, a trait the pair shared, Theras continued, "What about hope?"

Collecting himself, the earnestness in the boy's voice piercing his heart, Luminash spoke, the gentle, reassuring tone of a proud father, "Not a word has been said untruthfully. But there are...one might say, complications?"

When Theras only canted his head in response, the magister motioned back inside with a jerk of his own, "Come. There are some things you must see."

[Sweet Sunday]: What's the sweetest thing Tinnaire's done for someone else lately?

Does not setting someone on fire, count?

But more seriously, she has not felt very 'sweet' lately--from hurting Taric's feelings and pissing him off, to being a little selfish and nervous-to-trust toward Jencir, she has not felt she's done anything particularly sweet for anyone lately. Maybe the closest would be embroidering a napkin for Jencir? It has stars and the White Lady on it.

[ SoSS ] Khaeris' most recent sinful thought for another!

Khaeris had a momentary thought of casting a painful cantrip on an annoying customer at her market booth.

Just a little Shadow Word: Pain, as a vengeful treat!

[kharrisdawndancer]

What is the sweetest thing Jencir has done for her?

Jen has, with some regularity, spoiled her with luxuries she hasn't really had in a long time. She's been to the spa a few times, been served fancy wines, taken to interesting locales, put up in nice hotel rooms while traveling, and gotten many, many flowers (and she has saved at least one from each bunch, and pressed them). But the sweetest thing, to her, is almost always when he cooks for her.

[Sinful Sunday]: What's the naughtiest thing Khaeris has done lately?

Ooooh, she's been on pretty good behavior! Pollux is home and she's been keeping her head down. She did try to sneak into his workshop to surprise him with lunch one day, but it's hard to sneak up on Pollux, truly!

K - What is your sweetest memory from you childhood?

Sharing stolen candy hidden in a barn with her best friend Kieran, hiding out from the rest of their Clan to avoid having to do chores. She can still think back on that taste, the smell of the hay, and the way the dust floated in the sunshine like glitter. It was a very happy time for her!

Sweet or Sinful for Tinn: I think it is sweet that you appreciate my grandmother's lesson of introducing people and don't make me feel like I am being odd for doing so.

"Of course. I appreciate it very much! I think it helps grease the social wheels when I don't have to do my own introduction. I don't find it odd at all."

SoSS —

For Khaeris:

What's the last sweet thought you had, for a person, for a situation, just in general?

For Tinn:

What was her most recent sinful thought? If it involved someone, who was that special focus?

Khaeris: Khaeris had a slew of sweet thoughts for Pyraelia recently! It's still flower-crown season and they haven't done that lately, so she's gonna steal her friend away for a picnic and summer afternoon crafts this week, if she can.

@pyraelia

Tinnaire: Her most recent sinful thought was focused on Jencir and the decadence of bathing together for a long soak, and how that usually ends up...
