[ stolen ] a quick, stealthy, and impromptu kiss snatched in secret

There's a little glow behind him, a spot of magically conjured light to make his reading easier as he settles in the quieter spot, away from main camp, away from Birvor and the others. He needs this; needs the quiet after their days fighting the absolute and it's minions. Since returning to the city, they've been bombarded with fight after fight and Ren's not sure his mind has stopped. It's not stopped since they escaped that damned Nautiloid.

His side aches at the thought, fingers curling around the 'Tales of Drizzt' book in his hands before he sets it down and walks to the water's edge. Gale joins him, after some time, and Ren breathes a sigh of relief. Someone who understands, he thinks, as they stand in silence and stare over the water.

" I'm glad you came. I--- I've been meaning to talk to you since we shared that moment with the weave." Ehrendil confesses with a small smile after a time spent in comfortable silence. He decides to take the plunge-- because he's wanted to do this for a while. Even if he doesn't understand the feelings behind it fully. He knows he'd imagined kissing him in that moment with the weave, and....he's not bee able to stop thinking about it since. Was this what the beginnings of romance felt like? For someone who's read so much, he feels clueless.

He doesn't know this. Doesn't understand it, and in part that scares him.

Taking a deep breath, the elf turns to his fellow wizard, cupping his cheeks and drawing him in for a kiss. It's quick, chaste and now the ball is in Gale's court. // @wizofwaterdeep

[ehrendiila]

This time he was reading an excerpt from a trash novel from the goblin camp. The dramatic reading of which entertained him from the bad description and even worse depictions of sex. “And thus he saw her legs and knew these were certainly legs of a virgin!”

"The legs of--- " Oh, gods, Ren can't take it any more. He barks a laugh, snorting in the middle of it. They've been reading this book for less than an hour and it's awful. He wonders if Dror Ragzlin had penned it under a different name; it seems like something he'd write. the shouty bastard of a hobgoblin isn't someone Ren wants to meet again.

Calming himself, Ehrendil looks to Astarion and puts a hand on his arm. // @apalestar

[ehrendiila]

Do you think your brother will chill out with that one elf lady smooching all over him? Or do you think she might be in danger too?

" I don't think she is in danger. Eve is more than capable of taking care off herself. " Ehrendil shifts, foot to foot. He's clearly uncomfortable. "As for whether he'll 'chill out', we thought he would when he seemed interested in Halsin, such was not the case. I don't think this will be any different, even if he stays with her. "

Hugging himself, Ren gives a half-bitter smile.

"one rule for Birvor, another for everyone else. He can go kiss and canoodle with who he wants, but I fall in love with someone or befriend another ..." he shrugs. It wasn't worth it.

Spellcasters hate this fact but if you just stick your fingers in their mouth while they're casting a spell with a verbal component it's literally more effective than a counter spell.

[gothfoxgirlboy]

This also works with pinning their hands against the wall when they're trying to use somnatic components.

"You know," she starts, taking a seat next to him and handing him a sandwich she made for him, "I've noticed that everyone around here fights a lot...anything I can do to help with that?" She's not used to it, but that doesn't mean she doesn't think she can't fix it.

" --- I don't think there is. " Ren confesses uneasily; the sandwich taken and bitten into. He's hungry, despite his refusal to eat. Casting his gaze aside, he wonders what she could do without incurring the wrath of his brother. Wonders idly, if it's Birvor that sent her - but then again, none had been able to force the two of them to marry so he doubts Birvor capable of bossing her around.

Taking another bite, and then a third, Ren scopes the area for his brother. It's rare he's not in line of sight, but for now, he remains absent to Ehrendil's knowledge.

" Unless you can-- somehow miraculously get him to....stop threatening and hurting my boyfriend and Astarion--" and me, he neglects to add. " I'm still in that gods damned cage, Eve. He insists upon keeping me in it and--- refuses to accept that we are free now. That he can-- That I'm-- I..." That I'm actually a sentient being, sometimes. He shudders, fingers tensing around the bread they hold.

Ren sighs, turning his gaze back to Eve. He shouldn't put her in this position; it's not fair to her.

"I'm sorry-- I shouldn't....You shouldn't have to deal with this. Gale and the others-- they have a spot they go to when it all starts. If you want to avoid the fights..."// @wildskissed

He was seated in front of Ren while Birvor was preoccupied elsewhere. “Careful middle finger folded for this one.” He’s teaching Thieves Cant so they might further sell this cult of Corellon game they have going.

As luck would have it, Ren is a fast learner. He mimics the movements, the positions Astarion teaches him. Anything to continue this little game they have between them! The Cult of Corellon. It had all started with Birvor's remark about his armour and now? Now it's got him laughing.

" Like this, then?" Veszdrin had taught him some, too, so he's not entirely new to this. "Perhaps we ought get the other elves in on this. I'm sure even Shadowheart would enjoy this."

@elkenbulwark

Your shiny little fish scaled tunic there. Looks like Boooal got to ya.

". . .. It's elven armour." But in this, he spies an opportunity. "Definitely cult robes, but not Boooal."

[ehrendiila]

parentals.

[ehrendiila]

"Pray tell, brother, what cultist robes am I wearing?"

[ehrendiila]

& what horror trope is Ehrendil ?

family as a cult

you will never need anyone else. outsiders will hurt you, aim to corrupt you and ruin you and leave you in pieces, but your family will always be there for you. everyone has the same eyes, the same smile. the same sickly yellow light cast over their skin. the same tastes, the same food that melts to gray sludge on your tongue. family recipe. hugs last too long, touches linger and sting like sunburn. don't stray too far. if you come back looking like a wolf rather than a sheep, the dogs will eat you.

[ehrendiila]

He has a book in hand as he spoke. Clearly reading from the text within. His voice cast to a higher pitch to imitate a feminine speaker.

'I have no idea what it is you imply, master. I am but a poor Dragonborn maid.' A masculine tone once more. "So you are, my dumpling. And a good one at that. Such strong legs and a shapely bottom."

It's become something of a tradition between the two of them. They'll head off to the lake if one or the other is feeling particularly irritable, or if one of them has had something triggered within them that needs quiet and space to recover. Sometimes, they just sneak off to enjoy the books they've got stashed in their chests from the day's adventures.

Sat beside Astarion while he reads, he rests his head lazily on the other's shoulder. Ren delights in listening to the other elf read. He's good at it, both reading and acting out the different character's voices. Listening to others read, Ren often gets bored-- they don't inject any life into the text, but Astarion does. He wonders if he does it for the same reason Ren's always done it -- loneliness. He remembers reading stories of Drizzt Do'Urden, putting on the voices of each character so it felt they were actually there-- because that meant he wasn't alone.

Opening his eyes, the wizard peeks up at the other before turning his attention to the text.

" --- Keep going. "
