#which is why camellia’s pose is a bit odd - it was mirroring some poses in a painting

[void-kissed]

and ONLY if you want to, don't feel pressured if it's too daunting- 1 for camellia?

Ahh, and here it is. Thank you for this, friend. You flustered me into oblivion.

First kiss

The context here is that Telanthera was once caught off-guard by a prospective assassin sent by some other noble that didn't like the way she had risen to nobility without being born into it. Luckily, Camellia was there and was able to put her training into practice to easily dispose of the attacker, even if Tel was knocked to the floor in the process - but in the process, revealed to Telanthera exactly what she is capable of. This is something she had very much been trying to avoid out of fear of rejection, but Telanthera does not think ill of her for it at all, and proves this through the following scene.

"Come here. I promise, that dagger of yours needs not taste blood again tonight."

"If you truly think yourself to be unworthy in my eyes, dear Camellia.."

"..then please, allow me to demonstrate exactly what worth you hold to me."

(I hope that this is alright! Thank you very much again for sending me this ask and helping me talk through how the scene might play out!!)
