He thought he was getting a good grade in heroism! Gavrel said it was a non zero chance, but really he thought it was a good 80% chance that he'd die (impermanently, maybe 40% permanent) and he was really happy he'd get to die having a friend. But then it looked like she might die and that was not okay and every single part of his body was going to rip through Atticus's magic before that happened, or get ripped up itself.

But he didn't even die from it! (His HP is high and it's hard for him to die from things that would kill other people. His pain tolerance is insanely high.) They might meet, all things considered. Gavrel will make a face if the party does meet the person, but that's about it.

(I'm just gonna not give away spoilers.)

He would be very concerned! Borderline terrified. Crying Morwen, especially when he doesn't know why she's crying, is probably scarier than facing a horde of dullahan.

It likely is. He'll be very upset and unhappy about it.

What colour is traditional for brides in Terrafell? You mentioned that it's not white. What does white stand for?

White is associated with magic. Mages wear white often, and it's also pretty common with the service industry, because it shows they're clean and can keep clean. It would be very strange for a bride to wear!

The traditional wedding color is tan and green, which are both related to the mother goddess and subsequently the goddess of marriage. Historically, the groom would wear various shades of blue to symbolize the father god marrying the mother goddess, but that's very old fashioned and both parties wearing tans and greens is typical.

However, red is also gaining popularity for either bride or groom. Red is the color of life, and it's common to wear for pregnancy and during birth, and some are superstitious that you must wear red all the time during pregnancy to give birth to a healthy child. Couples may wear red because they're trying to be lucky in having children. Some city cultures have taken this and run with it, but other cities have quashed it, and claim that anyone who wears red for their wedding is trying to hide the fact that they're already pregnant.

Do Not encourage the city slickers to leave the city; they keep moving to my small town 😭.

Laziness

It will get cold again eventually. The summer will not last forever. I’m not doomed to live in this unbearable heat for all eternity. <- said while gripping the countertop so hard that the tile is starting to crack

I have a full on Thai mat in my car! Why do I do this to myself!

(I wouldn't call Morwen homicidal, no.)

More like...

Morwen: *crying*

Gavrel: *walks in* *makes eye contact* *eyes go wide* *disappears via Quickstep*

Morwen: *confused* *still crying* *might cry harder because she feels abandoned*

Seven minutes later:

Gavrel: *rushes in so hard he has to baseball slide over to Morwen so she doesn't get tackled* *carrying eight plates* *looks like someone just told him a nuclear warhead got fired* I have cookies I have hot chocolate I have candy bar I have chocolate covered fruit I have brownies I have—

Morwen: *starts laughing*

Gavrel: *even more panicked and confused*

He'd be so sad. He might have PTSD from letting Morwen get PTSD.

The concern was not a facade. There were no hostages. Only a rescuee and a captive. That was probably the minute Gavrel fell platonically, tbh. Even if he didn't realize it. That was when he decided he couldn't lose her.

He decided, in Bri's universe, that it is Very Wrong of him to compare being partially flayed to completely flayed and he will Never Do It Again, so as not to minimize someone else's trauma. They're still alive, so she certainly could.

It is hilarious and sad. He might fall asleep with someone little on him because they'd finally make him not do anything else. He can't clean weapons or stitch shirts or keep a journal if he's got people on top. Safe is... Eh. They'd be more safe than Morwen (more like his foxes), but not fully safe.

(Gavrel immediately launches into, no, Morwen is an amazing girlfriend, not toxic at all, she's so amazing, he really should be doing more for her...

He's just never thought about it. He's got school, homework, chores, gaming. They've got their designated time, and you don't do stuff in between. Very high schooler mentality.)

(I am counting Kaera so... At least three. Maybe four. Depending on how you count it.)

I've noticed that, too, which I can only assume is due to increased inflammation or nervous system fatigue, or maybe with others, endocannabinoid overextension. I do recommend it! But you will smell like a pickle.

He did. I'm not sure if he'd make tiramisu because that's a little more labor intensive than, like, hot chocolate or nut butter cups or no bakes. But ooh, I just imagine Morwen crying and Gavrel walking in, them making eye contact, and him just disappearing on Morwen. She'd fall apart until he came back with, like, eight sweets. The past is gone and it's up to him to not let it affect the present. He can't change it, so he should just leave it behind and not struggle with it anymore. But he can't. He's too guilty. (Morwen would have an easier time because he'd be like "no, you feel how you feel!" And Morwen would reveal his hypocrisy like "but you aren't allowed?" But he'd be so guilty that they might never get there to begin with.)

He'd be desperate for help. The first week, he'd call for Morwen every 3.2 minutes. About the silliest things. A child would ask him to come play and he'd call all panicky and asking for permission. As if he didn't do this every time he was there already. A child would try to fall asleep on him and he'd blue screen.

(He would listen. And give many reasons why she shouldn't need to listen to him. He's never been to college! He doesn't know what that sort of studying looks like. The closest example to it in Terrafell is Atticus.)

He was gloating, just a little bit. But he was also concerned! For Morwen! He did something to her. Was intending to do worse. He was going to save her. Gavrel was sooooooo relieved Morwen was okay.

He hasn't been completely flayed ever. Only partially. Mostly monsters. Once a person because he was playing bait.

(Oh, no, I mean, out of your party, there are multiple homicidal maniacs!)

If you pull something and mask the pain, you might use the area and pull it worse. You might have a fracture you're grinding. There are lots of things that you shouldn't numb because of the risk of worse injury. Cramps. Well, there's not a ton you can do to make them worse. You can try heat to make it better, and dill oil is my miracle cure for anything muscle cramping/spasming, even if I do smell like a pickle afterwards.

Moka beans! He knows girls need chocolate when there's emotions. That is all he knows. But that's different! Those are real concerns! His nightmares are already in the past!

Atticus thought he finally had something to hang Gavrel on. Pity and shame! Gavrel thought he was going to die for Morwen, and that was okay as long as Atticus didn't kill her to kill him.

There have been multiple flaying incidents. And degloving incidents. And—

I think this actually makes a lot of sense for vampires and I think this should become canon.

When I was little I was fully 100% certain that vampires would have hollow fangs. I never explained this to anyone but I knew in my child heart that when vampires bit people they used their hollow fangs to suck blood like two tiny straws.

This seemed very sensible and left less mess than just biting someone with sharp teeth, obviously.

I think it was because I was an Animal Facts kind of kid and I knew venomous snakes could have hollow fangs so I just superimposed that idea onto vampires.

The funniest part of this is that it never came up in conversation, people would reference them drinking blood and I’d be like yeah of course, and in my head I’d be thinking: with their little sippy teeth, they drink blood, we’re on the same page.

It wasn’t until sometime in high school that the topic was broached in a way that made me question this. When I voiced my conviction about hollow teeth I was laughed at. Once I was questioning whether it was a silly thing to think I was forced to imagine how hard it would be to suck blood through two tubes tiny enough to be in teeth moreover how would you make inner fang suction and realized I’d had the weirdest headcanon about vampires for most of my life.

Editing to add that after a day full of vampire silliness I’m actually delighted to know I wasn’t the only person to think this.

It will get cold again eventually. The summer will not last forever. I must embrace the nice weather before I'm doomed to unbearable cold for all eternity <- said while sitting in prickly grass because no one else in this state seems to think a picnic area is a worthwhile investment.
