#CHAOSHE. artist paints a flower on the hillside, i paint myself a flower poised at the top of something, but it’s not good art, it’s all reaching without growth. looking for a dance at dawn, for the artist to return, spy the gossamer bruised purple of my mouth, cup my face, and say told you should've been a riverbed instead. […] should’ve been an angel instead, soft as an uncaught spark, but god the burning that would raise from you, so much wilder than marigolds devouring meadows with their yellow teeth and endless, earthy-green stomachs.

* PERCY !
“I am not lying. I truly am honored.” Percy smiles in reponse. It’s messy, sure, but that tells him that Jester loves this place, loves to spend her time here, and it’s filled with LIFE. He enjoys that immensely. Gwendolyn easily waddles off to where Molly is playing with colors in the corner already, and he smiles, watching them for just a moment. “Oh, I’m afraid I’m not a very good artist, Jester.” He then laughs, though he picks up a brush and some of the water colors anyway, remembering the painting lessons he’s had when growing up. They had been part of his education, but he had never been particularly fond of it. “What are we painting?”
SHE’S ALREADY CHOSEN the tubes of gouache she intends to use, vibrant blues and embers and reds, knows them by feel alone. passes him a block of watercolour paper, then her thick-paged sketchbook for herself. one eye, as ever, on the little girls giggling to each other. ❝ art’s not about being good or bad, you know. it’s about ... letting yourself exist outside of reality. or something. ❞ pours three glasses of water, carefully labelled as paint water in caleb’s scrawly scrip, to share between them. ❝ hmm, today’s assignment was bodies. it’s why the kids were all covered in paint. it’s easier to see where it ends if it’s a different colour. ❞
* ALOY !
THE SMILE WANES ATOP THE CONFECTION, last bites savored and hands unceremoniously dusted clean against well - tanned leather. ❝ Oh no, it’s not that I don’t want to. The trip is lovely this time of year. ❞ Far flung memories of the city come to mind, none of which important or impactful enough or pleasant for that matter to occupy valuable space in her mind; which was just an excuse to make new, better memories.
She considers the logistics, thinks about the direct routes, the paths, the obstacles, already plotting the course in her mind as she rests the weight of a ruddy cheek against her knuckles. ❝ You could still send for the recipe though. Then we could have some on the way. ❞ It’s clear that she’s thought of everything in those few seconds: the essentials, the perfect places to stop along the way; and she can’t help but laugh inwardly. Perhaps it was finally time to go home.
PAINT OVER THE CRACKS in the wall and they go away ; jester has always believed that anything broken can be fixed with enough patience. once, a travelling merchant had told mama about how people in far away lands glue back shattered pottery with gold, how it becomes more beautiful not in spite of its imperfections, but because of them. people, she thinks, are a little like that.
❝ you planned the route already, didn’t you ?? ❞ smile soft and warm and a touch bemused. in her own adventures, she’d followed the wind, aimless, letting it carry her forth, but perhaps there is merit in having a destination in sight. stands to slip into aloy’s lap instead, arms curling around her shoulders. ❝ last time we were there, we fought a dragon. she had like ... all kinds of awesome stuff in her lair. ❞ a little wistful, then shakes her head to clear it, presses a kiss to her forehead. ❝ i didn’t really see the city really well and all that, so there must be a lot of cool stuff there too. ohhh, it’s gonna be like a little treasure hunt just for the two of us !! ❞
* AERITH !
“ buttons ? ” she examines her own buttons on her dress, softly. “ .. why is your friend obsessed with something so weird ? also .. what are you obsessed with ? ” a beat, she is thinking about what could be her odd obsession. “ .. i like floral scented lotion. the kind that smells really nice and makes your skin soft ! guess that’s my weird obsession. ‘kay .. yeah, i get what you mean. ”
WAS NOT HER OWN MIND a constantly whirling kaleidoscope of thoughts and feelings, perhaps she would have trouble keeping up. as it is, she nods excitedly, grabbing for aerith’s hand to bounce it between them a little. ❝ ohhhh, lotions, that’s a really good one !! hmmm ... i collect ... ❞ friends would be the most truthful answer, but that does sound a little weird. pauses, looks at sprinkle on her shoulder, who blinks slowly back at her his too green eyes. ❝ i guess i really, really like pastries. ❞
* MOLLYMAUK !
Sketches fly past his eyes, an entire childhood passes in a blink. Suddenly he’s staring at the eyes on the page and they stare back. Something hot rises in his chest, threatening to spread across his cheeks. In trying to pry into her past, he only finds his own.
Usually Mollymauk likes mirrors; this one is unnerving, to say the least.
“ Sounds like quite the talented family you’ve got. “ It’s hard not to sound distant as he tears his gaze away from the sketchbook in front of him, to pretend that he hadn’t gotten stuck in the sketchbook. ( If she’d told him it was a tome full of spells to trap liars and cowards he’d believe her. )
His smile is, thankfully, quick to return as he takes the moment to step into a lie. “ My mother always told me I was a good dancer as a child; I suppose it didn’t translate into adulthood, though. Always tripping over my own two feet nowadays. “
SHE KNOWS THROUGH MUSCLE memory alone how to set a snare ; fingers dextrous around rope, looping it so it holds. her body is a snare. she’d read once in a book about flowers swallowing insects whole, and perhaps life and nature are similar like that, to bear a girl with poison for blood.
he looks away, and she flips the page. there, the image of her mother and father locked in a dance, jester’s small form between them. for all fabricated images in her sketchbook, this one is real, and she lets her fingers run over her mama’s smile.
❝ yeah, well, they’re both super talented, so of course i’d end up like that too. that and i had sooooo many tutors growing up. ❞ drizzle a little honesty to the garnish of his lie. she shifts a little closer, knee knocking against his. ❝ i can teach you, if you want. papa said to treat all of you like family. ❞
* LUCAN !
There was a peaceful quality about the rain that Lucan had learned to appreciate a long time. Even know, as he walks under it, there’s a feeling of warm nostalgia. He used to take the rain in for a couple of minutes with his own party all the time, after all.
However, the sudden intensity of this rain soaks his long red hair to a point where he can barely keep it away from his face. And once again, he curses his innability to remember to braid it when the wheather gets a little cruel.
“You know, I still would suggest getting a bath.” the high elf chuckles over the sound of the rain. “the water from the clouds does not come with soap ! ” he quickly adds, amused by the tieflings antics. “and we should probably get back eventually,” his hands are now trying to braid his hopelessly wet hair. “I promised I’d keep you safe, and you might catch a cold out here.” thick accent rolls on his voice as he speaks, with a smile still tugging at the corners of his lips.
IT RARELY RAINS IN NICODRANAS, and when it does, it’s usually like this : quick to begin, with a suddenness inciting merchants’ ire, and ending just as abruptly. she knows that in the market their stall canvases extend and tie together until they are one colourful painting, has watched from her window the shopkeepers scurry like ants to ward their wares from rain, and found it strange that for people born by the ocean, a little water incites mayhem. wished, with the strength with which she’d wished everything else, she could be down there dancing in the downpour.
but she can do that now. twirls a few steps ahead of him, the soaked skirts of her dress opening around her like flower petals, and where the sun is absent in the sky, it’s trapped in the brightness of her smile.
❝ pfft, i don’t get colds. and i can keep myself safe !! ❞ she’d been a little annoyed at the prospect of someone guarding her steps, but she likes him well enough for it to sting a little less. ❝ come on, when was the last time you danced in the rain ?? ❞
SHE’D COUNTED ON HER TO DISTRACT the owner of this dingy store ; all she needs are a couple minutes, her paintbrush, and all the mischief she can contain in a body like her own, which admittedly, is quite a lot. what she didn’t count on was for @talahdore to notice. the old man at the counter is thankfully none the wiser, jester partially hidden behind all the clutter, but her paintbrush is still raised, halfway through painting a huge dick on the farthest wall from the door. she’d already rearranged all the wares, but it would still be pretty disappointing to stop there. ❝ uh, hello. i’m … not here ?? i’m a ghost !! booo... ❞
* CALEB !
“Maybe.” He smiles, and there’s no pain in his voice this time. He’s not trying to make himself, or his achievements smaller than they are, because Caleb does try. He tries HIS BEST to protect the people he loves, because he couldn’t do it before. Maybe it doesn’t always work the way he wants it to, but by the Gods, he’s trying.
His hand comes up to rest against her cheek once more, eyes wide and warm as he takes in everything about her. Her smile, the way her cheeks flush at his words, and how she so EASILY makes his heart stumble in his chest.
“It’s all because of you, you know?” Caleb then smiles, leaning in to rest his forehead against her. “You made me want to be a better person, and I can’t let anything happen to you, so I’ll protect you with everything I have.” He pauses, “WE will protect each other.”
HIS WORDS GIVE HER PAUSE. is it ?? she’d wanted to, of course, the way she’d wanted to wrap her hand around the part where it hurts and heal it for everyone, but caleb and his sadness felt, at times, as distant as the stars. he’s close enough to her now that his warmth seeps under her skin, to settle, coiled, around her heart.
but if he says so, then there is truth in that. lashes flutter shut when his forehead comes to rest against hers, letting her hand slide away from his chest to settle, careful and gentle, at the back of his neck.
❝ i don’t know, caleb ... you’re kinda squishy, i’ve technically been doing the protecting. ❞ a joke, though not really, for the kernel of truth in it. she would fight armies for him, no question asked. ❝ but ja. we protect each other. you make me feel so safe. ❞
* ESSEK !
for all that he has seen , for all that he has been through in his life , for all the terrible things he has done , all of it feels worth it to have ended up in this moment . meruna is so incredibly small in comparison so everything around her , even compared to him . she peacefully snoozes on his chest without a care in her mind , concerned only with the warmth and gentle rise and fall of his breath . she knows nothing of what he has done to cause harm to the world , only holds implicit trust in him the moment her mother places her in his arms . he comes to the conclusion that he would break time and space for this little girl if she asked it of him .
“ are you intent on rearranging the constellations to have one then ? ” his chuckle at jester’s query is breathy and light , his gaze finally dragging up to peer at the stars . his lips purse in thought , genuinely pondering if such a thing could be possible without upsetting the balance . “ nothing that would be more than an illusion , i’m afraid . i’m not sure if rearranging stars is even possible when they’re so far away . ”
JESTER LETS HER FINGERS run down over her baby’s back ; she’s so warm to the touch, red like mama, and so peaceful now in sleep it’s almost impossible to imagine that her little lungs have the capacity to wake the whole city. settles her palm across essek’s chest, over his beating heart. she’d wanted this in the way that she didn’t know to want it until she had it, and cannot imagine life any different now.
❝ i dunno, it just feels like we’ve done enough to get stars, you know ?? ❞ turns back to the sky, lets her gaze run across the span of it. so many names to uncover, so many stories to learn. ❝ pfft, they’re not that far away, look !! ❞ hand extended heavenward, she closes her palm around a bunch. a little sleight of hand as she sits up, and when she pulls it back, reveals to him a handful of broken shell pieces and pebbles.

* KEYLETH !
❝ dinosaurs — ?! ❞ the awe is apparent in the tempest’s cheeks, and it flashes through her mind: could she learn to wild shape into a dinosaur if she had seen it? how fucking cool would that be! thoughts wander, but her attention tries to stay focused on the tiefling before her, quite obviously excited by her adventure. at mention of her mother, keyleth’s features soften, long fingers grasping tightly at her spire. to think she had ever thought her mother weak, unfit to lead the ashari that were now placed in her care. far be it from the truth; vilya is the strongest woman she knows. ❝ she is pretty cool, huh? i’m glad she was able to help you and her friends. but did you really — seriously! — get to see dinosaurs? ❞
RUMBLECUSP IS EVER SOURCE of delight ; it’s where she’d learned her god’s name, where she’d seen his face, where all her friends gathered to strive to make travelercon a success. everything else matter’s little. vokodo’s ire forgotten, cognouza defeated much later, now it is safe haven for the mighty nein. ❝ yeah, hold on — ❞ always up for a little mischief, grip tightens around her holy symbol, polymorphing with ease into the shape of a little blue dinosaur, about the height of keyleth. gives a mighty roar, but in her current diminutive form, it’s more like a kitten growl, head bumping against he shoulder as gentle as she can make it.
