@crookedredemption asked: "i wouldn't mind getting second degree burns from you."
Karlach let out a small huff of laughter, jaw jutting almost playfully. "Careful, soldier, when the time comes I may hold you to that."

@crookedredemption asked: "i am not sure i can be what you want me to be." / Royal, Fantasy Romance, and Spice: still accepting.
Gale looks to her. In the dark of the night, her words carry like a storm. They crackle and roar, trembling in the shadows like some bogey man's coo, but it's little for the volume or some fear's foul inklings... But rather, he deduces, for her dark and doom. He eyes her in study, no frown pulled soft at the purse of her mouth. She had said it like a whisper, like he's hardly even there, and he imagines what eats her is caught eating her insides. She looks reluctant to slumber--and so, too, does he.
Both are reckonings. Both bring death. Gale, with a conjured flame, lights these Shadowed lands.
"Oh, I'm sure we've all had enough of hearing about Gale of Waterdeep," he jests, tone low and teasing, watching the fire glow soft along her jaw. "As it were, admittedly, I fail to see how it is my opinion matters. Regardless of circumstances, what stands is that you and I are both here. Unmoored, perhaps, and with hardly a compass to guide our feet, but we've no longer leash or lead to go mindlessly following. All those roads stretched before us are ours to take."
How sweet. And sick. Casting, the ember Gale stokes feels to give chase to their unsaid worries. It feels figurative somehow, as though he alone can smother the shadows of their fate. Had only he'd such power to go and do so... Eying her, Sylmae's profile gleams both marble-sharp and fine.
"No one should soon rob you of them, me or otherwise. If you don't mind my saying so, I believe we should be far more interested in what you would like to be."

@crookedredemption || send 🛑 to clean blood off of my muse after they protected yours. || accepting!
arms that feel too heavy rest at dean's sides. head back against the tree that's supporting him upright. he's come out the winner. from a fight that didn't do him any favors in the unscathed department. blood trickles down the side of his temple from a cut running along his eyebrow. he can smell the crimson-rust that gathers and beads along his right nostril. his lip? busted open and throbbing. the rest of his body aches. bruises that spawn bruises litter his torso and arms. feels like he's been to hell and back. only not quite. he knows what that's like. maybe a close ALMOST.
tired green eyes meet hers as she draws near. a cloth held delicately in her hand gets pressed to the worst spot on his brow. "you didn't make that easy. when i said to stay back?" he grumbles--voice like whiskey poured over gravel. strained from shouting.
oh that feels so good, though. the blood comes off and stains the cloth brown and red. it's gonna take some time, but he'll heal up. the most important thing is--they lived. thanks to the blade he's gripping so tight in his hand (even still) that his knuckles are pale white. trembling. until he notices and goes about tucking it away. into a dirty coat and the sheath that's waiting for it inside. his fingers ache and refuse to unbend from the gripping position they were frozen in.
dean's gotta use his left hand to rub them loose as his eyes meet hers. "i meant it..."

"oh my god, you act like you haven't seen somebody kill right in front of you before." 🙄🙄
Friends, combatants, and those asking her for help, all have been executed while she was within arms reach. When someone's reaching for her, asking for help and to be stricken down-
Most people don't have the guts to be so unbothered about killing and it sets off all of the alarm bells. This woman isn't someone to be trusted and the sooner Jill gets any weapons off of her, the better. It's not often that Jill genuinely hated someone from the moment they opened their mouth, but it seems that the other had a unique talent.
"Your nonchalance about death makes you sound pathetic. If this is all you have to say, keep it to yourself."

❛ you're back quite late. ❜ a sausage is currently being roasted over the open fire. everyone else is asleep , but she's waited on her. wide lavender eyes flicker away from the flames , focusing on the other. ❛ oh. ❜ brows raise as she examines the blood splatter. ❛ ━━━━ ARE YOU HURT ? ❜ a frown pulls her lips down as she stands , concern the only discernible thought flickering across her expression.

the slayer approached minthara late at night. it's talons dug into the ground as it lowered it's large head towards the paladin. a low vibration rumbled underneath it's red scales, a non-verbal request for minthara to put her hand upon it's skull.
Exquisite. The air always grew heavy when Sylmae's true form takes over. A fearful reverence settles over the entire camp as dread intertwines with every companion from end to the other. Well, most. Minthara did not fear the slayer, no, her culture had always found admiration within them; duk-tak... slayer.
The Drow steps forward while the beast lowers her head, a red gaze lit with fascination and adoration as she closes the distance between them. Free of armor she is free to slip between those two horns as the it clicks and rumbles near her face. Her chest swelling with pride and affection as she presses a hand along the front of it's skull and rubs her palm along the space there. Her other hand dragging along the hard shell of horn above her eyes. "Oh how exquisite you are ..." And she scritches her fingernails down the front of her face and then dips her head to press a kiss right between the eyes. Brushes her lips there and then pecks her kiss on her one more, again and again ...
"My slayer."

"i want to know you."
𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗺 &&. 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 - 𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 ; most persons would be taken aback by the nothingness of the woman's countenance and her gaze deprived of any emotions ⸻ thus, understanding what's inside her head is a task one's destined to fail.
on top of being forced to be here, in a plane unknown, there's also the problem of the tadpole. fortunately, it doesn't affect any of fate's abilities ; unfortunately though, it's impossible to predict what would occur upon returning to the homeworld of hers in her current state.
the decision of sticking to others infected is one fate regrets perpetually, albeit there wasn't any other &&. better choices to be made. smarter to hang with those who are in a similar situation and also look for a solution.
it's gale who annoys her most ; she considers astarion's behaviour entertaining. shadowheart's pouts would earn a roll of her eyes at best (if she cared to fabricate it), but sylmae? a mystery for whom fate paid no mind — up until she was spoken to directly.
❝ there's nothing interesting about me, ❞ fate says plainly ; a polite way of responding with no, you don't. a year or so ago, she would be walking through faerûn in sneakers &&. a graphic tee. now, however, she blends in — with black robes &&. a staff on her back, she looks like any other magus. ❝ don't you bother your pretty little head with me. ❞

@crookedredemption || meme catch up! || working through it bit by bit!
"So look, uh, I'm not a grief counselor, but if it's any consolation, I have had to kill and bury loved ones before. A bunch of times, actually."
"that counseling shit's for the birds anyway.. but if you're going to sit here and try to give it? at least join me for a drink." doesn't take him more than a bit of eye contact with the bartender before she slides another shot glass over. the shitty bar in the middle of nowhere just sat the bottle on the bar when he kept ordering more. town's like this? don't pay much mind to how drunk their patrons are getting. long as there's money going in the til. stolen credit card money. but it's money. yeah?
"not a single problem gets completely solved by talking about feelings," and his breath smells like the bottom of that bottle he's working on. he pours two. one for her. one for him. jawline dusted with way more than a five o'clock shadow is scratched before he plucks up the glass and toasts her. "you can call bullshit but we both know that'd be bullshit.."

❛ the next time i open up to someone is my autopsy ❜ to sol'rys from sylmae
various things spoken in an adventuring party pt.3
sol'rys shrugged, though the absurdity of the image elicited the faintest hint of a bemused smile. “what do you expect me to say?” he asked. he was not a soft man. if she sought words of comfort or gentleness for her predicament, there were far better in their camp to turn to. the wizard particularly seemed in possession of a faint, pathetic heart.
“you remember nothing. what does it matter to me, really?” yet despite the cold carelessness of his words, the faintest hint of fear lay buried away in the tightly locked chest of his heart. it must have been the parasite that caused it. how much longer did he have, did any of them have, before he too forgot himself? or had her parasite simply burrowed in too deep, clamped its hideous little maw on something that wasn't meant to be fed on? or was she simply closer to becoming illithid, warning the rest of them with the hideous clarity of the sun in the sky?
his garnet eyes glistened keenly in the firelight. “now and tomorrow is much more important than then, no?”

"keep those fangs away. i'm afraid you won't like what you taste."
"I'll have you know.. My fangs and I had no plans of making any advance towards you."
The vampire huffs out, arms lifting to cross over his chest. He doesn't even know where such an outburst came from. It wasn't as if he was even looking. He had been minding his own business. And he still was.
"And who's to say where my tastes lie."

"this is boring. can't we just kill them and call it a day?"
The comment inspires an amused chortle in the Drow. A shift of her eye between Sylmae and the very long dialogue that they were listening to. Minthara could see the impatience wrought in her form, what with folded arms and weight shifting from one foot to the other. Really, it was a sight to behold. And so her answer was simple and excited.
" AhA! Yes!" Arms outstretch to welcome the prospect, "Let us paint the ground with their entrails!"
@crookedredemption said lets murder.
