Eskel’s fingers felt restless, twitching at his sides as you slid the blanket over his shoulders. It was a deep royal blue and the light from the roaring fire danced over the gentle folds and rolls of the warm wool.
He sank to his knees facing the warmth, grasping the blanket in his fingers over his chest. You gently kissed the scarred valleys of his cheek and gave him a quick pat on the head, leaving his side but for a moment.
You soon returned with a warm mug of tea and you set it in his hands before sinking to the floor behind him. You wrapped your arms around his middle and nuzzled your nose into his neck, feeling him sink further and further into your embrace with each passing moment.
Eskel loves living at Corvo Bianco with Geralt. It’s like a dream come true. Finally, a home that isn’t filled with memories of pain and suffering, where they can use their hands to build rather than destroy. But sometimes he needs time alone; he needs to remember what it’s like to be free and untethered, with nothing but the wilds and the stars at his back.
For in his chest still beats the heart of a witcher, after all.
@sometimesiwrite said they love the Red Shirt Mod. So, here’s Eskel on a midnight ride in search of some peace and quiet.
I’m planning on making little illustrations for every song on my eskel playlists. But these are some warmups. There’s something very fun about trying to work out how he emote through that huge brow and the way his eyebrows are shaped
Here’s a time lapse of that Eskel drawing. I can export more of them if there’s interest! 9 year old me who was tracing panels of comic books would have shit herself watching this
“Uncle Eskel’s always napping,” Ciri murmurs, her lips twisted down in a pout, “or reading. He promised we’d go fishing.”
“Yeah,” Lambert sighs in mock disappointment. “Not like he had to clear the area of bears or anythin’ so we could have a nice picnic. What a lazy prick.”
Ciri squints at Lambert in confusion. Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether Uncle Lambert’s telling the truth or just messing around. The witcher raises both eyebrows at her, before turning back to his drink with a light sniff. She looks down at Uncle Eskel’s face as he lets out a particularly loud snore.
Nah.
Half an hour earlier…
“Of course,” Eskel grumbles beneath his breath, “she picks the spot with an entire family of fuckin’ cave bears. Like father like daughter.”
@persony-pepper asked for a picnic outside Kaer Morhen. I thought it’d be nice for Ciri and her uncles to have a break from training. She picks the perfect spot...
I think we should’ve forced the nerds to read more fucking theory, like we just wanted to be reasonable, let people understand that you don’t need to have read both volumes of capital to be a socialist, then people took this further and were like “you just need COMMON SENSE to be a socialist” so now we will forever have to deal with people who learned everything about politics from cartoon network television show fandom drama, who feel like they know as much about politics as any dedicated lifelong Marxist or Anarchist, perhaps even more.
