Lucas was a talented truant during their school days. Quincy, more a middling performance stickler to the rules. They grew on each other over time. (Or more importantly, Quincy is of the few capable of tolerating Lucas's whims.)
I must save greater specifics since they are addressed in the game, BUT... it boils down to "they were both unpopular children who happened to be in the same place at the same time".

A GREEK GOLD GEM-SET PENDANT EARRING
LATE HELLENISTIC, CIRCA 2ND-1ST CENTURY B.C.
3 in. (7.5 cm.) long.
The present earring is of a well-known type using Egyptian crowns, otherwise known as 'crown of Isis' as part of their decoration, found all over the eastern Mediterranean. The crown is formed of a sun disc and feather motif. Below is a circular rosette with a cabochon garnet center, which would have originally been bounded by a row of pearls, now missing. Below there is a drop pendant figure of Eros playing a lyre and wearing the skin garments associated with Attis.

👽// hey wouldn't it be hilarious if i was haunted by hypotheticals for this blog and thusly doomed by my own narrative after saying i wasn't gonna do something. haha. yeah.
anyway. totally unrelated, but passing thoughts i've had on taking up teldryn as a test muse and chewing up this side character from a 2011 video game that keeps getting re-released for some god forsaken reason (capitalism that's the reason) and spitting him out into a genre that's not his own [INHALES] below cut:
Teldryn Sero
A survivalist & opportunist in nature, Teldryn Sero lives for three things: Treasure, Adventure, and Freedom. He’s headstrong, unafraid to voice his opinion, and dripping with scathing sarcasm.
He STRICTLY operates on his OWN code of morals (snitches get stitches, after all). While he loves treasure & riches, he ultimately values his life (and dignity) first and foremost: "No amount of money would ever be WORTH that kind of death." Thusly, he has no problem telling his temporary boss "go fuck yourself" "No" if a request crosses an (admittedly thin) boundary.
+200 yrs old
Spellsword | Mercenary | Treasure Hunter
RARELY takes off his mask. WILL tell you he looks hideous underneath or has a contagious rash because it's funny.
Specializes in destruction magic (flames) & one-handed weaponry (favors swords)
IS a fish-out-of-water whose impressed by the mundane marvels of the modern world (plumbing excites him), but thankfully he's a clever Dunmer— so he'll catch on quick.
Kidnapped from Nirn and enslaved in an intergalactic gladiator pit; Teldryn Sero is forever lost, faraway past the stars from his home— but one thing hasn't changed: opportunity is everywhere.
Eventually having fled the gladiator pit by overthrowing his captors via a good ol' fashioned prison-break (along with a brush of luck)— Teldryn now hitchhikes travels through the cosmos doing what he does best: selling himself as a spellsword.
Will he ever find his way back home? — or will he forgo the return to Nirn in favor of the allure of adventure & treasure beyond his wildest dreams? <- probably the latter.

Gold and Garnet Cannetille Parure
"This ornate, finely detailed high-carat gold and garnet cannetille parure, circa 1840, is fit for royalty. The old-world craftsmanship and goldsmithing is breathtaking, and the condition of the parure, presented in its original fitted box, is highly desirable for any serious antique collector. The set, sold by Keyamour, includes a large hair ornament, a pair of matching bracelets, a pair of earrings, a necklace and a pendant that can be worn as a brooch. The oval and pear-shaped garnets are foil-backed and accented by small seed pearls. The bracelets are made of handmade mesh links that centre around a clasp. The ear pendants are back to front in closure and convertible day to night. Although there are no marks on the suite, the set is likely from Spain."

So as it turns out, fitting one of the lace masks I bought to Vhaeraun actually wasn't too difficult!
I don't think I'll be keeping that particular one on him, since there are some others I like the design of more but would prefer to get in other colors. For now, it'll do.

working at an art store is like. the best and worst thing i’ve ever done. every weekend i am tested. people come in buying so much paint and canvases and i ask what are you going to paint and they almost always show me pictures of their stuff OR if i’m really lucky, they want their stuff framed and i can see the real deal! i’m so locked in to oil, it’s really fun to talk to other painters about their mediums of choice. like, i havent tried acrylics in probably two years? and i’ve certainly only gotten better at painting since then, i should revisit it! or folks buying beads and jewellery making stuff. i’d like to try that :)
