THE ENORMITY OF MY DESIRE

MORNING LIGHT TRICKLES IN, finding its way through gaps in the shutters, painting streaks of gentle sunlight in the room. illuminating the dance of fine dust particles, its hue is warm, as though there were not still the chill of early spring in the air. the two women on the bed would hardly notice, for the larger one's body temperature is ever slightly above average. besides, she feels even warmer now, stretched out on her back with her lover atop her, and a hand between her legs drawing gasps from her throat.

open-mouthed, lazy kisses are pressed against arlis' collarbone, breast, the side of her neck, blindly tasting salt, enveloped in the smell of her. brynn has one arm wrapped around the other's back, keeping her close even when she shivers, breathes an elven curse. she wants many things, yet they all tumble over each other, too scattered to form coherent thoughts, all in the shadow of the promise of release brought upon by arlis' skilled fingers. so the witcher merely presses her forehead to her shoulder to focus on the feeling and the pleasant weight of the other half-elf against her chest.

arlis' command rings gently through their silence, parting the hazy curtains of pleasure draped over her mind. obligingly, brynn lifts her head and opens her eyes to look up at her. when a beam of sunlight hits her eyes, her pupils contract until they are but fine slits, shielding her from it. still, it makes her blink, until her vision adjusts and she wonders why she'd ever closed her eyes to begin with. their gazes meet and arlis' warm, dark eyes seem to lock her in place, full of words she does not know yet somehow thinks to understand. unwittingly, brynn parts her lips as if to speak, yet offers only a soft sigh, the corners of her lips curling upward slightly in the wake of it. in this very moment, arlis might have asked anything of her, she would have given it.

a whole new wave of want crashes over her, set ablaze by the tying of their gazes, kept steady even when arlis shifts, withdrawing her hand and moving downward. and she keeps it even when the other has settled between her thighs, and the first ghosting of breath and graze of tongue against her tender flesh has brynn draw in breath and tighten her fingers in her lover's hair. no, she could not avert her eyes, even if she wanted to.

once again, her ruminations go unacknowledged, at least outwardly. Of course there are no half measures: the world is devoid of them, and to simply come to a stop halfway through is simply folly. Enver is reminded of the Tyrran symbol, the scales upon a warhammer, and though they may be depicted balanced, there is no such thing as scales in equilibrium. It's either yes or no, it's finished or imperfect: there is room around the halfway point, and certainly so for weakness. For the exploitable. Gortash reached such a conclusion long ago; that others have yet to avail themselves of that knowledge is hardly his mistake to rectify. [ It is lonely. But that loneliness serves a purpose. That loneliness is armor. ]

her alertness and sudden demand - slash - accusation draws surprise out of him, and Enver meets her eyes with his best attempt at innocence. He adjusts his posture, too, and lounges, leaning back on an elbow and flexing one of his knees. His right knee. “ Were — ” Which then clicks, loudly, in some approximate imitation of the joint popping. [ Arlis' gaze snaps to him in wordless but significant demand, and the understanding is immediate. ] “ It's nothing you ought to worry about, I assure you. ”

but she doesn't let it go. Silently, emphatically, Arlis wants the truth, the truth she's owed as the leader of their little retinue. She doesn't trust him, and that in itself is admirable if inconvenient. It takes a very long moment for Enver to break eye contact, though not of his own volition: he sits up wearing a semblance of resignation. “ Three people know about this. One of them is Karlach. ”

the more he hesitates, the likelier the truth is to run away from him. [ It changes nothing. It is part of who he is. Enver has endured and survived and risen — ] And so he lifts up the right leg of his trousers to just below the knee, the brass plates of his mechanical limb catching under the moonlight and torchfire. All the while, he waits ⸻ for a meaningful look, for a word, for anything that he might have to put out before it even catches fire.

waiting is always the worst part.

𝐒𝐇𝐄'𝐒 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏 him from skirting away from an answer, mind already ablaze with no small measure of devices or mechanisms or tools crafted with intent that's devious at best and horrendous at worst, but then something changes. it's something in his gaze, as well as his posture, full-bodied and unfamiliar, and it takes her a full moment to realize that enver gortash has chosen to be honest. arlis' gaze follows his hand and a quick flash of surprise registers on her face before she tempers it. whatever she might have expected, it had not been the gleam of metal where flesh and bone should rest.

there is the unexpected instinct to turn her gaze, as if she is looking upon something she should not be seeing, but the recognition that this glimpse is being offered to her, rather than stolen by her, steadies her. ❝ how? ❞ there's craftsmanship there, fine and practiced. as with all things he surrounds himself with, there is intricacy, perfection. finally, her gaze lifts to meet his. ❝ when? ❞

her cup is set aside gently. if karlach had known, such a thing is hardly recent, though arlis considers the occasional shift to his gait that she'd long explained by way of injury. she has long had her own, and he his, and from the first day there had been the silent understanding between them both not to ask. ❝ back in the lower city, i really thought that i knew you, enver. ❞ her eyes trace over his features, over too clever eyes and faint scars and the curve of his jaw. it feels sometimes, now, like she is seeing him for the very first time. her next words are quieter. ❝ but no one really knows you, do they? you wouldn't allow that. ❞

“broken builds” this. “use the orb” that. you fools. the true best strategy to beat honour mode is to encourage safer and smarter decisions throughout your adventure by roleplaying as none other than faerun’s central authority on occupational safety and workplace accident prevention legislation
