💓 (Rowena)

Rowena squinted at Trygve drunkenly. She dove her head in, kissing him hard on the lips before quickly pulling back, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, shaking her head, "Nope. We should never do that again."

[bowsandsongs]

💓 (Arin)

Arin's mouth curved into a smile. He reached his hand out, cupping Elspeth's cheek and kissing her.

[bowsandsongs]

Mother. Arin's got a new girlfriend? A Breton mage who hunts vampires. How does that sound?

Nael laughed softly, "A new girlfriend, hm? And she's a mage who hunts vampires? Couldn't settle down with a nice Bosmer back home, but as long as she makes him happy, that's what matters."

Enthir looked up from where he was sat restringing his bow at the table, "Leave the boy be, you only want him home so you can mother him." 

"He has his own house." 

"That just so happens to be next door so that you can keep an eye on him." 

"Oh be quiet."

I will be wild. I will be brutal. I will encircle you and conquer you. I will be more powerful than your boats and your swords and your blood lust. I will be inevitable.

@bowsandsongs liked for a starter

Aodhan approached the camp slowly, hand on the shortsword at his belt. It looked like whoever had set it up had stepped away for a moment, hopefully for long enough that he could rummage around and find what he needed.

Sure enough it was empty. Aodhan set to his task quickly, rifling through the camper’s belongings for a minute or two before turning up a small stoppered bottle filled with red liquid. A healing potion it looked. He stuffed it in his bag quickly before digging a small purse filled with coins out and replacing the potion.

He turned and rose, finding himself face to face with an elf, presumably the camper from which he’d just been caught stealing.

[bowsandsongs]

Rowena raised an eyebrow at the thief when he finally noticed her. Her hands rested on the blades that sat on either side of her hip, ready to be drawn at any moment.

“Seems that you can’t even take a piss in the woods without gettin’ robbed anymore,” she said.

She looked the thief up and down. Not the usual sort she’d caught going through her belongings before. Didn’t look like he was with the Guild.

“I don’t know what you too but you’re goin’ to want to hand it over, I don’t want to have to use these,” her hands slowly slid over the hilts, ready to draw them.

[themageandthemisanthrope]

In Peace, Comfort (Elspeth, Arin)

[bowsandsongs]

Arin sat with bated breath, watching her, trying not to stare. He was braced for a rejection. As badly as he wanted this, and thought this could work, if she didn’t want this; want him, then he had to respect her decision. He would get over it. Move forward with his life with her as his friend. There were far worse fates. Definitely far worse fates.

But watched her here in his bed, cuddled up to his pillows, stretching and smiling, he felt a swell in his chest as he realised how much he really wanted this. It would be so easy. They cared about one another; that was obvious, their friendship wouldn’t have lasted this long otherwise. The sex was phenomenal. But possibly the most important thing to him; she was good with Cas. Not that he wanted to jump straight into a domestic life with her. If she wanted this, they could take it slow, keep it casual until they were both ready. But Casper was a part of his life no matter what happened between them, and the two of them getting on was everything he wanted.

He let his mind wander for a moment, letting him get too ahead of himself. He could imagine them now, some years down the line, a little cottage in the Rift so Elspeth was still part of the Dawnguard, he would hunt, Cas would grow up with a mother and a father, maybe they would have another child of their own, a girl the spitting image of Elspeth but with his hair. Gods, they would be so happy…

He snapped back to attention when he heard her final comment. A grin spread across his face, “Really? You want to…?” He cleared his throat, trying to make his face a little more serious, “I mean… Yeah. Let’s try it. See how this goes.”

He edged closer to her, pressing his legs against hers, desperate to be close to her. He kissed her gently, but kept his lips lingering on hers. When he pulled away, he cupped her cheek with his hand, stroking his thumb across her soft skin, “Now… is there anything else I can get you?”

[themageandthemisanthrope]

Elspeth was exhausted. Several hours ago she’d learned her relationship, one into which she’d poured every last ounce of patience and understanding, that tried her last nerve, and inspired so much anxiety, was over. It had taken merely moments, seconds to go from thinking she was loved and cherished to feeling tossed aside. It seemed absolutely mad to even contemplate starting something new. It probably was. At least now she had the Dawnguard. Her duties there could serve as the buffer she needed to make sure she kept things at a reasonable pace.

“Do you remember when we first met? I was a wreck,” she said, though she wasn’t sure why she was bringing this up now. It was simply on her mind. Yet, her words trailed a bit, revealing the exhaustion she was feeling. “Ever since that day, you’ve always taken care of me.” To herself she thought, I have no reason to believe you won’t keep taking care of me. It was a comforting thought, if only because she was becoming entirely too tired to stay anxious, at this point only wanting to sink into his arms and fall asleep.

“I’m okay.” She hummed a little, smiling into his kiss. She reached up and squeezed his hand. “I think it’s time to sleep.” She kissed him again and rolled back over, taking care to bring his arm around her torso and nestling in so that the curve of their bodies were close. In a few moments, she was dozing.

[bowsandsongs]

Arin cuddled in close to her, feeling completely at ease with his arms around her. He smiled a little, thinking of their first meeting. “Well…” he said, squeezing her gently with his arms, “That’s my job.”

He let out a gentle, content sigh and closed his eyes, listening to the sound of her breathing. He still couldn’t quite believe it, that she was here, with him. They weren’t going to jump into anything too serious too soon, and that was okay with him. Whatever was going to happen, he was just glad to have her in his life.

It didn’t take long for him to drift off to sleep.

When he awoke the next morning, it took him a few moments to register the warm presence of someone else in the bed with him. He smiled to himself when the events of the previous evening came rushing back to him.

He yawned a little, stretching, hoping that his movements didn’t disturb Elspeth.

[bowsandsongs]

"Are you sure about this?"

"Mhmm," Rowena nodded, pouring out two shots, "Completely sure. Drink up, we've earned this."

[bowsandsongs]

“Time to get the bitch boots on.”

Rowena grinned, “Yeah it is.”

[bowsandsongs]

"You seem a little defensive."

Rowena lowered her bow, “Sorry, it’s not usual for me to have guests at my fire… Would you care to join me? I’ve just put some stew on.”

[bowsandsongs]

She nodded, “Another half a day’s walk north of here should set you right where you wanna be. You got family there? Windhelm ain’t much of a place if you’re just sightseein’.”

[notamaidenfairbutabear-deactiva]

         “Yes. My father is the Housecarl of Jarl Ulfric.” She smiled and added a twig into the fire.

[bowsandsongs]

Her eyebrows raised, "Your father is Galmar? I didn't know he had a daughter."

[bowsandsongs]

"You seem a little defensive."

Rowena lowered her bow, “Sorry, it’s not usual for me to have guests at my fire… Would you care to join me? I’ve just put some stew on.”

[bowsandsongs]

Rowena set her bow down, giving the stew a quick stir before sitting down as well, “So what brings you all the way out here, miss? You don’t look like a hunter.”

[notamaidenfairbutabear-deactiva]

“Trying to get to Windhelm.” She warmed her hands and pulled her cloak more around herself.

[bowsandsongs]

She nodded, "Another half a day's walk north of here should set you right where you wanna be. You got family there? Windhelm ain't much of a place if you're just sightseein'."
