Janai: Such a cute couple! How long have you been married?

Ethari: 15 years

Runaan: No?? It's 13??

Janai: I'm sorry, I thought you were together!

Ethari, aggressively holding Runaan's hand: We are! I've been married to him for 15 years, and he's been married to me for 13.

Janai: ???

Rayla: Moonshadow math was my least favorite subject.

[beautifulterriblequeen]

Runaan: is that moonberry surprise I smell

Ethari: perceptive as always, my heart! *sets dessert on counter*

Runaan: when may I have some

Ethari, popping it into a pretty box: alas, never, darling. This treat is destined for a great and powerful dragon

Runaan:

Runaan:

Runaan: *reaches for his bowblade*

Ethari, setting a second dessert on counter: THIS moonberry surprise, however,

[cooing slice noises]

Runaan: *pupils dilate*

[ask-ethari-anything]

Ethari's timeskip friends: omg, Ethari, he's so cute!!

Ethari: Thanks! He's a rescue.

Runaan: Stop telling people that!

[alluraswifey]

Rayla: *Finds a stray cat* Can we keep it?

Ethari: We can’t Runaan is allergic.

Rayla: He can sleep outside.

[ruthari-preacher]

Runaan: Everyone has a toxic trait. Except Ethari, he’s perfect.  Ethari: Wrong! My toxic trait is how badly I want to domesticate a raccoon.

[cozycottagevibes]

Runaan, heavily injured: *tries to sit up*

Ethari: Lie back down, Runaan!

Runaan: I'm fine-

Ethari: Hi fine, I'm Ethari, your husband, and I told you to lie the f*ck back down

Runaan: *lies down*

Watching 7x05 "Sticky Fingers" I have to wonder what Callum was thinking when he said he wanted to "get to know Ethari and Runaan better."

Callum tries to make small talk with Runaan:

Callum: So, how was your weekend? Runaan (not looking up from his meal): That's classified.

Callum gets his hands on Historia Viventem and sketches Runaan and Ethari's wedding (from the End Credits):

Ethari: Oh, this is beautiful Callum, may we keep this? You're very talented, thank you! Runaan: Why would you pry into our history like this? (To Ethari under his breath) What else is he seeing on our wedding night?

Callum wanders into their kitchen early one morning to find Runaan shirtless with several bruises to his neck and chest. Callum makes some comment along the lines of "Rough night?" when it dawns on him that he's either implied Runaan

a). killed someone last night, or b). got very laid last night, and any attempts to clarify will dig him deeper. Runaan's silent, inscrutable stare does not help and Callum stammers something about eating breakfast outside and bolts. It's raining. Runaan leaves him outside for 10 minutes until Ethari comes down, scolds Runaan, and lets him in.

But in all seriousness, I think they missed a major opportunity to have Callum and the moonfam grapple with some of the darker aspects of Moonshadow culture and their family. You want to get to know them better, Callum? You will find the very selfless, very dutiful war criminal who killed your dad, and the man who happily and knowingly married him.

Ethari (over dinner, stroking Runaan's hair): We don't travel much outside our borders, Runaan's wanted in many international jurisdictions. Though they don't know it's him, he's never been caught. Runaan (catches his hand, kisses it softly): Only once. Ethari: (closes his eyes) Only once... (recovers) Another slice of Moonberry Surprise, Callum? Callum (softly but with a lot of feeling): What the f—

Rayla: If Runaan and I were both drowning, who would you save?

Ethari: I don't know, both of you?

Rayla: No, you can only save one of us.

Ethari: Well, I would probably save Rayla because she's terrified of water and a poor swimmer.

Runaan: Suppose I was holding an anchor. Who would you save then?

Ethari: Well, why don't you let go of the anchor?

Runaan: It's a family heirloom.

Ethari: I'm leaving.

'thats one fine ass' -Runaan probably

THE WAY RUNAAN LOOKS AT HIM !!!!!!!

[ask-runaan-anything]

Opeli: King Ezran has sentenced you to death. You'll be hung.

Ethari, from the back: Sorry, but he's already hung.

Runaan: Uncuff me this instant so I can high four my husband.

[beautifulterriblequeen]

[on a first date]

Ethari: You didn't finish what you were gonna say. You've gotta tell me.

Runaan: ...Your eyes.

Ethari: My eyes?

Runaan: I kept seeing them. When I close my eyes, I could see yours. It was um, it was nice.

Ethari: *melting*

Runaan: When I close my eyes, I don't usually, I don't always, uh... see nice things, so I wanted to see them again. To make sure I hadn't... imagined them.

Ethari, looking him in the eye: And, did you just imagine them?

Runaan, dazzled, lost, tearing up: *shakes head*

Ethari: *gently takes his hand on the tabletop*

Runaan: *stares at it, smiles, lets out a giddy laugh*

[ask-ethari-anything]

Ethari when Runaan leaves him alone for a long period of time: Damn this sucks, can’t wait for my heart to come back

Runaan when Ethari leaves him alone for a long period of time: I’M LOSING MY MIND. MY HEART YEARNS FOR MY LOVER’S EMBRACE, BUT ALAS I AM HERE WITHOUT HIM. WHEN WILL HE RETURN FROM WAR? WHEN WILL MY COLD, LONELY NIGHTS FINALLY COME TO AN END? THIS IS MADNESS!!

POV Before Runaan and Ethari started dating:

Ethari: Honey?

Runaan: Yes dear?

Ethari: …

Runaan: …

Ethari: So is that a yay or a nay about having honey in your tea…or?

Runaan: (⊙ˍ⊙)

[thesparringpanther]

Ethari: Hey Runaan could you—

Runaan: I’d die for you

Ethari: *surprised* Okay..? Could you—

Runaan: I’d sell my organs if it meant you’d live

Ethari: Uh thanks but could you—

Runaan: ANYTHING for you, my love.

Ethari: Could you just pass me the salt?!

[ruthari-preacher]

Ethari: So you like cats?  Runaan: Yeah.  Ethari: *tries to impress him by slowly pushing a glass off the table*

[cozycottagevibes]

Ethari: If you had 10 moonberry surprises and Runaan asks for 2, how many would you have?

Little Rayla: 10, 'cause Runaan knows not to ask for my moonberry surprise

Ethari: Okay, if you had 10 moonberry surprises and Runaan forcibly takes 2, how many would you have left?

Little Rayla: 10 and a dead Runaan 'cause you'd beat him up for taking 'em without my permission

Ethari: ...

Runaan: *eyes Ethari* That's true and you KNOW it

Ethari, sighs: Yes, I suppose it is
