Aurel shot upright, the tangle of bedclothes almost restraining him...and not in a manner to his liking.

How long has it been?

Once his surroundings became familiar once more, his breathing began to steady as he gained his bearings.

The Dracon cleared his white, unkempt hair from his face as he stood up before striding to the nearest reflective surface.

Steady yourself. You yet live, O Dracon.

Even wide-eyed and frantic, Aurel found solace in his very being; his palid, broken reflection. So self-absorbed was he, as was any of the dark kin...even those who abhorred their visage.

"Emhyr! To me, there's much to be done!"

With or without the Archon's blessing...

Hey, do y’all want to piss of a Slannesh daemon prince? I know just how to do it!

"Exist."

“I wouldn’t argue with her, Emhyr.” “I wasn’t going to. We’ve all seen your back.” Emhyr chuckled while Aurel’s face went blank for a moment, as if trying to unravel a puzzle he’d never seen or a riddle he somehow hadn’t heard before. “Wait, what does that mean? Are you sassing me?!” “No, No. Not at all.”

Aurel is throwing breadcrumbs on the scourge platforms. Emhyr is watching with a mix of disappointment and amusement.

The Scourges immediately begin to swarm the breadcrumbs, fights break out, weapons are drawn and blood is spilled.

It's an impromptu gladiator ring!

'Yeah! Tear his guts out!' Jag'ged shouted from her perch next to Aurel, she had stolen a whole loaf of bread from him. But it was kind of hard to argue with the mother of your trueborn son. Especially when your son was tied into a baby carrier on her chest.

At this rate she was going to go through more bread than the other Scourges too.

[those--of--the--unlight]

"We didn't even have to charge admission for this fight; it was free!"

Aurel said with a laugh while Emhyr cleared his throat in the telltale manner that indicated he was about to correct the Dracon. As per usual.

"Someone did purchase the bread beforehand."

"I didn't. You didn't. Jag'ged didn't."

Emhyr raised an eyebrow. They hadn't obtained the bread through raiding, had they?

Ghosts of Aur-Llithaine

Emhyr hissed curses snd blasphemes in long forgotten Aeldari as he discarded the Splinter Pistol he had been using to chip away at a knife-laden crystalline target and fell to his knees, panting in exhaustion. This display was rather uncharacteristic for the stoic and otherwise apathetic Seneschal. Fortunate for whatever image he had, it was supposedly unwitnessed.

[those--of--the--unlight]

"I've seen what you all drink. That has to make you all green at some point."

Karanthyr slid from the side of the crippled Ravager while Emhyr and Aurel stumbled after, the latter complaining about having been shot down before stopping in his tracks and staring upwards at several looming figures.

"Darius! What a...coincidence?..."

"Friendly fire isn't."

"Right! Emhyr's here too! You remember him, right?"

Emhyr indignantly wiped some of the resulting blood splatter from his visor and stepped out the rest of the way once the one-sided melee had cleared.

"Impressive, Hierarch."

🔪+ "All wounds are flesh wounds, Hierarch." (Emhyr, deadpan as always.)

‘You’ve never been stabbed by a Force Sword have you Seneschal?’ M’urtair said bluntly. ‘Those things will scar your soul as easily as your flesh.’

‘But that’s academic at this point. Can you finish stitching me up?’

[those--of--the--unlight]

"Go to the most easily amused to get it started. Pitch it to the Helion and Reaver bars and let it work its way up. Same with Jag'ged, just that we rig her matches a little bit."

"Skourna, Will you settle a debate Emhyr and I are having? Please and thank you!"-Aurel

Skourna looked up from the terrible, yet entrancing romance novel from lower Commoragh she had been reading. 'What else are friends for. What's going on Aurel?' The novel never left her grasp.

[those--of--the--unlight]

"Why yes, I do exist solely to spite him."

[those--of--the--unlight]

(Much like Aurel, I delight in annoying all of you. Have a good day, frens.)
