#also if anyone else can think of other alternate ways gortash would try to get durge ring size please let me know

[vialae]

So Gortash gifts a lot of gifts to durge yeah. Seemingly a lot of jewellery (I don’t remember how canonical that is. I might just be deluded)

But how is he getting durge’s ring size?

The classic trying to do it while they sleep? Bhaalspawn are pretty light sleepers, so I feel like he’s just get punched in the throat on reflex if he so much as brushed their hand.

Trying to subtly make durge try on his own rings and then just go from there?? Maybe various sizes all in one dish and see which one slides on? But then durge recognises these can’t all fit Enver’s hand. Cue pulling the knife out and asking who else he is seeing for other people’s rings to be in their bedroom.

He could just ask them outright. Maybe they get suspicious and they bicker in an attempt to get a straight answer out of them. Maybe durge freely tells him because they’re a spoilt bhaalspawn used to receiving gifts and praise.

Maybe it’s twisted into a half-truth. Gortash says it’s for his new invention; something that’s to be worn on the hand. Something for durge that will really boost their killing efficiency. That sounds mildly fun, so durge freely holds their hand out and Gortash can get as many measurements as he pleases.

He could just try to take a pre-existing ring, but who the fuck is stupid enough to steal from a Bhaalspawn? Maybe durge trusts him so much they are killing servants, presuming they would be the ones to take it instead.
