Synopsis: In the midst of a perilous quest for an item, a strong and compelling bond begins to flourish between you and Sir Gideon Ofnir. As the shattered ruins of the once majestic royal capital provide a haunting backdrop, a shared moment by the crackling fire ignites a passionate and electric encounter that transcends the boundaries of your mission.

Note: First time writing Smut, so have mercy on me! Shout-out to @velvet-apricots Without her this fanfic would not have been possible

The wind howls eerily through the streets of Leyndell, now littered with rubble and the decaying remains of past grandeur. Amidst the ruined splendor lie traces of once-luxuriant opulence - shimmering gold, ornately designed mosaics, and colossal statues that bore witness to the lost glory of days gone by.

Despite these reminders of former wealth and power, Leyndell exudes an air of somberness, a sense of hopeless desolation that permeates its walls.

As Sir Gideon Ofnir leads the way into a dimly lit chamber devoid of furniture, save for a crackling fire burning brightly amidst piles of rubble, your heart races with anticipation.

The room is ensconced in a vibrant tapestry of nature's embrace. Overgrown with lush plants and entwined roots, it exudes an enchanting aura. Bookshelves, adorned with glistening golden ornaments, stand as silent sentinels, guarding the treasures of knowledge within. As you step inside, the air becomes an intoxicating blend of damp earth and the intoxicating perfume of blossoming flowers, beckoning you further into this forgotten sanctuary. Your eyes are drawn to the majestic columns and intricate golden accents that adorn every corner, a testament to the opulence that once graced these hallowed walls.

You both have been searching for rare items in the Leyndell Royal Capital.

While it seems unlikely to find anything valuable among all the wreckage, the thrill of exploring such places fills you with excitement and anticipation. This very intensity, fueled by adrenaline and desire, slowly ignites a flame within you both.

With every step closer to the smoldering embers, you feel your body grow increasingly restless, yearning for relief from the mounting pressure simmering beneath your clothes. Unable to resist any longer, Gideon moves toward you, gently brushing your hair away from your face.

His touch sends waves of warmth cascading down your spine, sparking an uncontrollable surge of need deep within your core.

With the faint glow casting mysterious shadows across the walls, it seems like some secret hideaway where lovers would find solace amid the chaos outside. Unbeknownst to him, you feel an irresistible pull towards him, an almost uncontrollable urge to explore his body.

Despite everything, his gaze softens as it settled upon yours. "This war-torn city may seem barren," he begins, his voice husky yet gentle, "but tonight, I wish for us to make our own sanctuary."

As his fingers grazes your cheek, sending delicious chills down your spine, you could no longer resist the undeniable attraction you feel for him. Desire burns within you, igniting the embers of raw passion buried deep inside.

Yearning to feel his flesh against yours, you reach out to him tentatively.

Gently grasping his hand, you guide it upwards until it rests beneath your cloak, exploring the contours of your soft body. The silk fabric slithered off, leaving your breasts exposed and aching for his touch. Your breath hitches as his calloused hands trace circles around your supple curves, eliciting moans of desire.

"This...this is so forbidden," you whisper, your voice trembling with a mix of desire and apprehension, as your fingertips delicately trace the contours of his armor. "The age gap...it feels wrong, so wrong." His touch lingers on your cheek, a gentle caress that sends shivers down your spine. Slowly, his hand glides downward, inching closer to your chest, igniting a maelstrom of conflicting emotions within you. "Don't worry," he breathes against your ear, his voice dripping with reassurance and a hint of mischief. "The boundaries we defy, the passions we explore...they transcend the constraints of time. It's more than fine."

As if drawn by an invisible force, Gideon Ofnir hovers over you, his heavy breath melding seamlessly with yours. Feeling his dick pressing against your leg, you slowly part your legs further apart, inviting him closer.

You gaze in awe at his resplendent armor, gleaming like a constellation of stars illuminated by the dancing flames. A surge of longing fills your voice as you whisper, "Could you, just for a moment, remove your mask? I need to see you."

Gideon Ofnir, his voice tinged with dark allure, responds, "Not yet, my love. Allow me to savor this exquisite anticipation, relishing the sight of you vulnerable and quivering before me."

His large hands remove every piece of cloth from your body. It feels erotic having such skilled hands removing your clothes. Every inch of your skin becomes visible under his expertise. Naked before him, you revel in your vulnerability, feeling incredibly turned on knowing someone who is so capable will be seeing you nude.

Feasting his eyes on your body, his arousal intensifies. With his hands firmly holding onto your waist, he pulls you close.

"My, my... you look so perfect like this. Shivering under my gaze", he says.

You feel a surge of pride mixed with excitement. Reaching forward, you stroke the back of his armor, lingering there tenderly while brushing your lips along his mask.

You shiver as the chill of his armor presses against your skin, sending a tantalizing wave of sensation coursing through your body.

His rough, callused fingers tease and pinch your nipples, causing you to arch your back involuntarily. Moaning softly, you grind your hips against his growing erection, seeking release from the torment building inside you. He kneads and squeezes your ass, his thumbs circling your entrance.

Your hands instinctively reach for his armored thighs, attempting to guide him closer, deeper into you. His frame presses against your sensitized skin, evoking images of conquest and dominance.

You lay down on a table. You try to control the soft little whimpers leaving your mouth when Gideon teases your entrance. He plunges his fingers deep inside you, his movements are relentless and skilled.

He knows exactly what makes you squirm and scream, driving you mad with pleasure. You can tell from the intensity in his eyes, he enjoys making you beg for more. You open your mouth, preparing to say something, anything, but words escape you as you’re caught in a whirlwind of ecstatic emotions.

"We're going to fuck right here? What if someone sees us?" You say it with an edge of fear.

"I don't care if someone sees us. I need you, now."

Gideon enters you, burying himself entirely within your wet heat. You both groan loudly, echoing throughout the room.

Embracing the moment, you entwine your legs around his shoulders, drawing him deeper still. Clenching your inner muscles, you buck your hips rhythmically, meeting each thrust with enthusiasm.

"Oh, darling, you're really not that innocent, are you?" Every stroke drives you ever closer to the edge of blissful ecstasy. Increasingly aware of how tightly your sheath envelops him, Gideon picks up pace. His powerful movements match the ferocity of your cries as you surrender yourself fully to him.

"You look so perfect like this. An absolute mess. You have a beautiful young, soft body." murmured Gideon Ofnir, appreciating your form thoroughly.

You lift yourself up slightly, wrapping your arms around his neck and locking your legs behind his, creating a tantalizing position.

Gideon Ofnir finds it hard to contain his excitement as he reaches down to play with your breast.

Grasping the sensitive bud, he begins to tweak and massage it, watching intently as the color rises in your face. Meanwhile, he continues to penetrate you deeply, claiming possession of your body and soul.

"It’s just me and you now," Gideon murmurs softly, planting a kiss on your lips.

Your body shivers with delight as he plunges deeper into your core, claiming every corner of your being.

Each time he withdraws, only to thrust again, harder than before, bringing you ever closer to the peak of pure ecstasy. Your muscles quiver, ready to snap at any second, as wave after wave of pleasure courses through your veins.

"Please...oh, please," you whimper, your voice laced with a desperate yearning. "Take off your mask." Every plea that escapes your lips is a testament to the overwhelming desire that consumes you.

A smile curls on his lips as he observes your surrender. "Begging is a good look for you, my love," he murmurs, his voice dripping with a sinful delight. With a deliberate slowness, he begins to peel away the mask, unraveling the enigma that hides his true face. The anticipation swells, thick with anticipation and a heady blend of fascination and trepidation.

The gleaming metal falls away, exposing his determined features framed by gray hair. Even without his helmet, his eyes remain shielded, adding to his mystique.

You lean in, captivated by the sight of his weathered face illuminated by the flickering flames. You watch closely as he unfastens his chainmail, layer by layer. Each link reveals a new scar, another battle won, a testament to his resilience.

Caressing his arms, you trace patterns of old wounds hidden beneath the smooth surface of his skin. This rugged exterior belies the tenderness found within; a gentleness reserved exclusively for those who earn his trust.

Leaning in, you place a tender kiss on his lip, savoring the salty taste of him.

"I’m yours. Only yours", you whisper against his lips.

The warmth of his stare held a mix of hunger and tenderness; they were feelings so powerful; words alone couldn’t express them adequately.

You appreciate his beauty. You start moaning, as he starts to thrust against you.

Every movement made your entire body feel electric with pleasure. His rough, calloused palms pressed against your hip bones, giving you goosebumps and heightening your sensitivity.

His piercing gray eyes met yours, sparkling with unspoken promises. "Don't close your eyes. Look at me. Let me see the desire burning within them", he growls seductively, gripping your hips more securely, pulling you closer.

It dawned on you, then, why people say that love is blind.

Amidst the smoldering ruins of war-torn cities and the endless cycle of life and death, you discovered true companionship in the eyes of this Stoic Tarnished. Your hearts beat as one, your souls are connected, intertwined, and bound forever.

Gideon's strong arms encircle you protectively, your bodies moving in harmony. It is an age-old dance of love and lust, fueled by the mutual longing that has brought you here.

Each touch sends ripples throughout your entire being, intensifying the sensuality coursing through every nerve. With unwavering intensity, Gideon Ofnir moves closer, his lips brushing lightly against yours before plunging deeper. His tongue teases and dances with yours, driving you wild with anticipation. The tender kiss turns into something fierce, his teeth nipping playfully at your lower lip as he pulls away, only to return even more hungrily than before.

Gideon's eyes narrow as he abruptly stops his movements, his grip on your waist tightening. A cruel smirk plays on his lips as he leans in, his voice dripping with sadistic pleasure. "Not yet, darling. You don't get to come until I say so."

He pulls out of you entirely, leaving you feeling empty and frustrated. Gideon's hand trails down your body, his touch teasing and maddeningly gentle. He circles his fingers around your sensitive bud, but doesn't apply the pressure you so desperately crave. "You see, lass, I control every aspect of your pleasure. Your release is in my hands," he taunts, his voice filled with dark amusement. "You're going to have to beg for it. Beg me to let you come."

He continues to stroke and tease you, his touch sending shivers of need coursing through your body. Gideon leans in close, his breath hot against your ear as he whispers, "Tell me how much you want it. How badly you need to come. Beg for it."

The ache between your legs intensifies, and the need for release becomes unbearable. You find yourself succumbing to his dominance, to the power he holds over your pleasure. With a desperate edge to your voice, you plead, "Please, Gideon. Let me come. I need it. I need you."

A wicked grin spreads across Gideon's face as he finally relents, his fingers applying the pressure you crave. The pleasure crashes over you like a tidal wave, your body convulsing as you ride the waves of ecstasy. He watches you, his expression one of smug satisfaction as he revels in the control he has over your pleasure.

Without a word, he positions himself back at your entrance and thrusts inside you once again, his movements forceful and unrelenting. His grip on your hips tightens as he sets a punishing rhythm, his hips meeting yours with a primal intensity. The sound of your moans and the slap of skin against skin fills the room, echoing with the raw passion between you. Gideon's voice is filled with a mix of dominance and lust as he leans in close, his breath hot against your ear. "You can't get enough of me, can you? Your body craves my touch, my control. You're mine to use, to pleasure." His thrusts grow faster and harder, driving you towards the edge once more. Gideon's grip on your waist leaves marks, a testament to his possessiveness.

As the rhythmic movements continue, your body becomes a symphony of pleasure. Pleasure swells inside you, reaching its crescendo, and finally bursts forth in glorious abandon.

Lost in a sea of ecstasy, you cry out his name, unable to hold back anymore.

With his own climax approaching, Gideon Ofnir quickens his strokes, as his control slips away. As you reach the crest of pleasure together, he slides deep inside you one last time, pulsing powerfully.

Exhausted and spent, Gideon collapses beside you. He traces gentle circles around your checks, brushing the locks off your forehead. As he studies your sleeping visage, the intensity of his regard seemed almost tangible.

The moonlight casts a dreamlike luminescence over your body, rendering it ethereally beautiful. The silhouette of your profile stood proud against the wall, highlighting the sharp angles of your nose and jawline. Yet despite your delicate appearance, you possessed a steely resolve, evident in your unflinching gaze and steadfast determination during training sessions. You were more than a pretty face – you were a force to be reckoned with.

During these quiet moments, Gideon allowed himself to admire the bond forming between you two.

For someone so young, your understanding of the world around you far exceeded that of most of your peers. It amazed him how swiftly you assimilated knowledge and developed skills beyond your years. However, your innocence remained undeniable, especially when it came to matters of the flesh.

Despite your shared desire for physical gratification, Gideon takes immense satisfaction in mentoring you in the ways of passion. While other men might see you merely as a sexual object, Gideon views you as a worthy partner capable of satisfying his needs intellectually, emotionally, and physically.

[Part 1] writing exercise. It's been six months since the elder brain was destroyed, Baldur's gate upper city district remained mostly damaged, and so efforts were focused on repairing essential structures. Walls, bridges, the removal of rubble, recovery of property and the continuous recording of newly discovered victims who had perished during the mind flayer invasion.

Not even the freshly obtained estate and manor had stayed spotless, a tower sliced in two, and bits and pieces from a nautiloid ship had crashed in the area. Removing the alien materials should be considered priority, if it wasn't for other pressing problems. Acquiring a title of lordship and changing the wallpaper was the first two tasks Astarion had focused on. Gathering information, lists, contacts, making plans wasn't easy even with the resources left behind by his former master. At the very least Ravengard's support proved useful in this time, so Astarion could reinstate documents for himself as a living citizen. Given he decided to go straight back into politics once everything was properly established.

Even after tearing off the old, filthy wallpaper from the walls which his very own blood had stained for many years, the stench and echo of Cazador Szarr ringed through his head. Whatever room he had for stress management, he put fully into destroying the marks Cazador left on this little plot of land. From using old family portraits for games of darts with daggers, burning old diaries as fireplace fuel, to demolishing old rooms and spaces and completely refurbishing them. Godey's room no longer existed, the dormitories were turned into a storage space while other rooms were combined and reshaped for different functions. Even the ball room had changed, now almost every room he used to be familiar with contained a window with sunray blocking mosaic glass. The project of changing the manor was definitely his favorite. And helped distract him... Even with all the room for ambition, he needed to make space for 200 years of suffering he had yet to process. Distractions were great, but things needed to be done too.

He had learned of the long ago untimely passing of his parents through Loki's teacher, ''The Undertaker'' Jerma, which allowed him to remember more things from his upbringing. The best places to buy furniture, for example. Which noble houses he had to watch out for.. And the typical word plays and word games he used to participate in. There were little things, little fragments, making their way back into his head after years of not being able to think of them. Yet again, sometimes, that only would make him remember the horrors more.

Astarion wasn't alone in this, he had his consort, Loki- Looking out for him. The once so rugged-looking half elf had a soft face nowadays. His features looked more lively after becoming a vampire. A picture he'd like to have painted himself, if only he recalled how to. The arts, the debauchery- The taverns.. Luxury, hearty meals, the echoes of parties and long halls. The joy. It was all waiting out there, no matter how much Astarion wished to rush back into the normalcy for it- He wasn't ready. That much he had accepted for the time being. 6 months is nothing to a vampire, let alone an elf. But it was a still a lot to Loki.

When Loki was turned, it was out of self-preservation, the reveal of his terminal state was a shock to everyone during the adventure. He sacrificed so much of his health to get everyone were they needed to be, caring little for the outcome of his own fate. Then, the ascension- The rush of power. Overwhelming, distracting. Had Astarion noticed too late, Loki would've died not soon after vanquishing the Gur. Not even withers could've brought him back if it were so. The memory had a lot of guilt attached to it, to the point the underground prison was left entirely untouched. Astarion had yet to return to the sights of gore, fallen foes and sacrifices alike. With the freshly hired servants, and additional spawn, this place was slowly becoming filled with life. He had no need for torture devices stored in the attic. Not yet. Everyone in his inner circle was loyal, and had their reasons to stay loyal. There was Vara, A tall, large dhamphir barbarian- Very lively and very loud. Her half brother Tamir- An half elf vampire spawn rogue who was turned by her father. Tamir was older than her, but turned when he was 19 against his will. Because of their differently sized silhouettes and height, Vara calls him little brother out of habit. The duo served as bodyguards mostly. While Tamir specialized in gathering information quietly, Vara was really good at beating things out of people. And of course- at obliterating threats effortlessly. Neither of these two were connected to the Szarr family, but visited on their own accord in search for permanent employment of sorts. Vara disliked being amongst mortals, mostly because of her background. But she also disliked most other vampires, which was easy to understand. A large majority of the vampire aristocracy was filled with self-indulgent and self-absorbed vampire lords who threw hissy fits at each other. ''It's like standing in a room with a bunch of angry cats.'' Is how she worded it. Other new notable servants included a tailor, head maid, book keeper, and cook. All of which were turned by Astarion. Loki had suggested to turn people similar in his position; People who wanted a second chance at life and weren't remotely interested in betrayal. People who preferred the comforts of a castle over the buzzling streets of Baldur's gate. Or people who had no chance of surviving their mortal lifespans. The tailor was a tiefling with a debilitating disease, slowly eating at his finer motor skills. He was dropped from his position as an apprentice when he stopped being able to hold a needle. One bite and two nights later, he was sewing together new garments with the energy and passion radiating off his hands. The head maid used to work in a tavern, a previous human who was very private of her old life. She used to be an alcoholic, but turned her live around up until her liver started giving up. Without easy access to a transplant and funds for surgery, she did not take long to accept Astarion's offer. The book keeper was a simple man, a dwarf who enjoyed archiving things, obsessed with reading and keeping track of numbers. He did his job well, very introverted, and took little effort to convince the offer of eternity. The cook was a half wood elf, a young man who'd come to baldur's gate to pursue a career. He lost all his money trying to invest in his start up business, with no luck and was scammed out of his belongings. He contemplated ending it all there, until Astarion turned him around. Now he happily invests all his time in what he loves most, the funds have only opened up more possibilities for the cook. Not formally employed, was an elven woman with long red hair who visited Astarion a month after he claimed his position. Her name was Mera, she was a vampire spawn created by Cazador unwittingly. The night of her death, Cazador apparently drunkingly drained her days after becoming lord. (to be continued)

The Timeless Elegance of Gold Leaf: A Gilded Artistry

Gold has long been associated with wealth, power, and beauty. One of the most exquisite and enduring ways to harness the allure of this precious metal is through the art of gold leafing. For centuries, artisans and craftsmen have used gold leaf to create intricate designs, adorn religious icons, embellish architecture, and even enhance culinary masterpieces. In this article, we will delve into the world of gold leaf, exploring its history, production, applications, and enduring appeal.

A Glittering History

The history of gold leaf dates back over 5,000 years to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. These cultures recognized the rarity and beauty of gold and developed techniques to create incredibly thin sheets of the metal, known as gold leaf.

Ancient Egypt: The Egyptians were among the first to use gold leaf for decorative purposes. They adorned tombs, mummies, and religious artifacts with gold leaf to symbolize divinity and eternity.

Ancient Greece and Rome: Gold leaf was employed in the creation of intricate mosaics, jewelry, and statues, reflecting the opulence of these ancient empires.

Byzantine Empire: During the Byzantine era, gold leaf was widely used to embellish religious icons and mosaics in churches, creating an aura of divine splendor.

Medieval Europe: In medieval Europe, illuminated manuscripts, frescoes, and Gothic architecture featured gold leaf extensively. Monasteries and churches were adorned with golden altars, crosses, and religious sculptures.

Renaissance: The Renaissance period saw a resurgence of interest in classical art and architecture, leading to the widespread use of gold leaf in the embellishment of paintings, sculptures, and architectural elements.

Production of Gold Leaf

Creating gold leaf is a meticulous process that involves transforming a small quantity of gold into incredibly thin sheets. Here's an overview of the production process:

Gold Beating: A small piece of pure gold is first flattened and stretched into a thin ribbon through a process called "beating." This ribbon is known as goldbeater's skin.

Alloying (Optional): In some cases, the pure gold may be alloyed with other metals to achieve different shades, such as white gold or rose gold.

Rolling and Cutting: The goldbeater's skin is cut into small squares and placed between layers of paper. The stack is then rolled out and compressed repeatedly to achieve the desired thinness.

Burnishing: After reaching the desired thickness, the gold leaf is cut into squares or leaves and placed between sheets of parchment paper. It is then burnished with agate stones to achieve a lustrous finish.

Applications of Gold Leaf

The versatility of gold leaf lends itself to a wide range of applications, including:

Art and Decoration: Gold leaf is used by artists to add a touch of luxury and elegance to paintings, sculptures, frames, and furniture.

Architecture: Gold leaf has adorned the domes, spires, and interior details of iconic buildings, including palaces, temples, and cathedrals.

Culinary Arts: In the world of gourmet cuisine, edible gold leaf is used to garnish desserts, chocolates, and even cocktails, creating a visually stunning and indulgent dining experience.

Religious Artifacts: Gold leaf is a prominent feature in religious icons, sculptures, and altars in various faiths, symbolizing divinity and transcendence.

Design and Interiors: Interior designers use gold leaf for custom decor elements like mirrors, lamps, and wall accents to infuse opulence into spaces.

Conclusion

Gold leaf remains a timeless symbol of luxury, beauty, and craftsmanship that has transcended cultures and centuries. Its shimmering elegance has the power to transform everyday objects and spaces into works of art, adding an air of opulence and sophistication. Whether adorning religious icons, gracing the walls of ancient cathedrals, or enhancing the flavors of a gourmet dessert, gold leaf continues to captivate our senses and evoke a sense of wonder. In an ever-changing world, the allure of gold leaf endures as a testament to the enduring appeal of this precious metal and the artistry of those who work with it.

If you want to witness a gold leaf in person, head to www.delafee.com for an unforgettable experience.

Gt July Day 24 – Comfort

So many good options for this prompt, but I decided to revisit Theophilos and Evine!

––––––––––––––––

The day had been quiet so far. Most days in the heart of the temple were, honestly, though Theophilos could only imagine how industriously busy the rest of the temple was. The Order of Voices, and the many people who worked within its comprehensive framework, must have pressing matters to attend to all the time. Theophilos wouldn’t know. The most he’d seen of the rest of the temple had been a few hallways when he first arrived, and a set route he’d been directed through once or twice to talk with some of the staff. They were human, like Theophilos, and most of the normal people – cleaning staff, attendants, cooks, apprentices, etc. – were, if not easy to talk to on account of Theophilos being mute, at least easy to understand.

The speakers… the speakers scared him more than he’d like to admit. Since this was their temple as much as it was Evine’s, Theophilos didn’t much mind spending quiet days with the god themself rather than worrying about the humans that also lived there.

Evine sat on the long divan in the middle of their room, an enormous stretch of fabric and wood constructed to support the full weight and length of the near seventy-foot-tall deity. Sometimes all Theophilos could do was marvel at the mastery of craftsmanship that made up the god’s living quarters. Building such elegant furniture at that scale had to have taken a mindboggling amount of resources, time, and effort from a huge group of people. It wasn’t normal furniture either, but the height of luxury: soft fabrics, even cushioning, sturdy stained wood, details embroidered in golden thread so small that Theophilos sometimes wondered if Evine could even see them. The room itself was a work of art, with tiling on the floors and ceiling depicting scenes of nature and legend in elegant mosaics.

Despite all this, Evine took it for granted. Theophilos couldn’t and wouldn’t hold it against them- they had spent the entirety of their existence so far within the temple walls. The room, rich as it was, was all they knew. They couldn’t conceive of the sheer luxury that surrounded them.

Theophilos, on the other hand, was often struck by the sheer enormity of the room- as much its qualities as its size. He’d never been surrounded by such comfort before. He was still getting used to being a part of it, a thoroughly trained part of him afraid that he wasn’t supposed to be the recipient of any of this. He was no god or noble. Which was true, but Evine often encouraged him to partake anyways; some of the comfort, such as the rich, quality food brought to the room three times a day, was only meant for Theophilos. The god didn’t truly know what a gift that was. Theophilos had no way to tell them.

So Theophilos was sitting on the other end of the divan, surrounded by a vastness of high quality fabric and silently marveling at the tight weave, when Evine looked over and down at him. The god themself had projected a field of magic before them, a way of accessing the text in the many books they owned but found too small to handle easily. Theophilos couldn’t read any of it, but he had gathered that the god was in the process of a rather rigorous education. They had been born into the world fully formed, able to speak and read and write, but with no experience. Only limited knowledge. The Order of Voices was in charge of giving the godling the information about the world they needed.

And right now, Theophilos was quite obviously a distraction from that information. “Are you studying the furniture again?” they asked, sounding more amused than judgmental. Theophilos flushed lightly all the same when he nodded. Evine smiled, the expression genuine, albeit entertained. “Is it really that special?” Another nod. “I’ll have to take your word for it.”

The god sighed, casting a glance towards the large window on the other side of the room. They did that a lot, Theophilos noticed. The heart of the temple was everything Theophilos had ever wanted: warmth, shelter, a steady source of food, somebody who cared about him. Evine had never seen the world beyond, though, never experienced its cruelties- or its joys. They pined for the unknown, just like Theophilos pined for the familiar. Two sides of a dreaming coin.

“I’ll make it out there someday,” Evine muttered to themself. Shaking their head slightly, they looked back down at Theophilos, their look more thoughtful than melancholy. “In the meantime, I could order a couch more your size, if you’d like?” Theophilos blinked. He was never going to be used to Evine casually talking about procuring things worth more than Theophilos himself (he knew the price of his indenture; it was much less than a divan of this style, even at human size). “I just want you to be comfortable.”

Theophilos shook his head, unable to accept, but he offered Evine a small smile to soften the blow. He scooted over until he was seated near the god’s hip and the back of the couch, nestling himself next to the white folds of the god’s clothing. The point was hopefully clear: he was comfortable here, just as they were.

Judging by Evine’s smile, they got the gist. “Alright,” they quietly said, reaching over to gently rub Theophilos’s arm before turning back to their work. “As you wish.”

3. Eco-Friendly Planters:

Bring life to your outdoor space with an assortment of eco-friendly planters made from sustainable materials such as recycled plastic, bamboo, or reclaimed wood. Experiment with different shapes, sizes, and textures to create visual interest and showcase your favorite plants and flowers.
