Karl is extremely skilled in nearly all aspects of magic, to the point the templar’s had concerns he would become a problem. He never was, directly, to Templar’s, but after being instructed time and again to aid mages with their magic, he quickly started taking it upon himself to help both young and older mages alike.

He was a quick favorite as a result, combined with his witty humor, his patience, and never turned anyone down. Karl was often left exhausted, but he would rather than have a mage feel alone in the Circle, or face the lack of understanding from Templars.

Maker’s breath, they just seemed to be unique kind of a strange mess with this. Anders couldn’t help but curse himself for ultimately being the one who started it, he should have known better and yet couldn’t quite help himself. That just seemed to be how he got around Karl.

That stupidly handsome and perfect Karl.

“Just for the record, I’m blaming you for the squishy feelings. That the effect you have on me, you know? This whole honest squishy feeling things thing.” It was never a bad thing, Maker knows just how badly Anders had missed being able to just be his normal and not having to play charming little rascal just to get out of trouble self, but at the same time he hated how easy it seemed to be coming to him day after day.

He feared the day his walls may break down enough for Karl to find something he hated. All it could take was just one thing for him to leave, and Anders didn’t want that.

He was quick to shake his head of the thought, instead he opted for masking it all with a rather cheeky little grin. Mostly on part because they had managed across the appropriate dining hall, which meant that there were bound to be people. And where there were people, there were chances to make a very important little scene that could make everyone involved forget all about those stupid little feelings.

Namely himself.

“You were right! I can’t believe I had been casting that wrong this whole time. Why, you are such an asset, Ser Thekla” Anders kept his voice raised just enough to catch the needed attention, though the grin probably gave him away. Still he kept it up even as he separated from the other man to walk over to his seat. “I guess this means we’ll just have to go over it again, because you know I need all the help I can get.”

Something told him that he was so dead for that display when he snuck out later on.

“I’ll write that down in the record book. Times you’re squishy all on your own and times I’m blamed. Not complaining, mind you. I like leaving that impression on you.” He mused with a chuckle, although kept his eyes forward now as they neared, the sounds of conversation of numerous people making it hard to keep his voice at ‘indoor level’. 

A few of the Templar’s eyes went straight to Anders the moment he walked in - probably sighing in relief he was still in the Tower and hadn’t made another grand escape. and grateful they wouldn’t spend months tracking him down. Of course, most eyes went to him when Anders started chirpping - loudly. Karl hated spotlight attention while Anders really couldn’t seem to get enough of it at times. The man flushed, thankful his facial hair hid about 90 percent of it.

Anders was getting a pillow to his face, mark his words.

“I'm left to wonder how much ‘help’ you need.” On top of Anders walking to his seat, whatever he had left to say went unsaid, because another mage came skipping up to him with puppy-eyes. 

“What were you helping Anders with, because I need some help too! I’m terrible at... everything. Could you please, please help?”

Maybe he’d throw something harder than a pillow. None the less, Karl gave a smile as he wandered to get his trey with the other man following. “Of course. I’m busy tonight, but I’ll see about it tomorrow sometime, yes?”

“Yeah, yeah! You’re the best! I mean, I’m sure Anders doesn’t reflect your own teaching skills.”

Maker, help him. Karl was finally able to sit down a table away from Anders, giving the blonde a cutly little look before eating his bread. The look was obvious; I know you did that on purpose, and I want you to know that I know.

Send me one of the following for a journal entry from my muse.

♔ - An entry about a day my muse felt particularly good on, perhaps because they won something, learned something, met someone special, etc.

☢ - A day my muse felt incredibly bad on, because they let themself down in some respect (e.g. they failed at something they tried very hard for).

☤ - An entry my muse wrote on struggling with a physical or mental illness.

☠ - Mourning the loss of someone dear to them (either to death or other causes).

✈ - My muse has just moved houses, jobs, schools or is staying somewhere new for a while and describes how this makes them feel.

✉ - An angry message my muse wrote down after a heated argument with your muse. (Either directed at your muse or not.)

♒ - A conflict my muse had while dealing with their family, either resolved (and written in retrospect) or unresolved (and written in frustration of the event).

✂ - A message my muse wrote after not having written for a while, possibly because they lost the journal or because they have been busy with other things. (Feel free to include part of the previous entry for perspective.)

♋ - My muse writes about yours. Perhaps the first time they met, or an event that was particularly important to our muses’ relationship.

✆ - Someone read my muse’s journal and my muse rants about how that made them feel and whether they knew who it was and have confronted them etc.

“I can’t tell if trouble calls to you, or if you sniff it out like a mabari to breakfast.” 

[actualwashington]

This was a lesson he had to learn, eventually. Anders liked to pretend he lived in a world where if he was persistent enough and willing to play enough elaborate games, that he could still have everything a man ought to. Freedom, for a few days at a time. Love. Weakness. Mages didn’t get to have these things. Anders had always just been too stubborn to accept it, and it was time he grew up.

Growing up. Accepting his oppression. Accepting what life he was allowed. Giving up.

Karl would not say such things. Not to him.

❝ i’m not going anywhere . i’m going to stay here and cause all kinds of trouble .❞

“Haven’t you already cause all kinds of trouble, and then some?” Karl asked, grinning wider than he had any right to. “I shouldn’t want you to stay here so badly, you know. You’re turning me into a selfish, selfish man, Anders.”

[ktheklasideblog]

❝ I wish it could always be like this. ❞

Karl let out an exhale, arm wrapped around Anders with his chin resting on his shoulder as they lay in the twin-sized bed. It wasn’t much room; but it was room enough. His playful glint lessened. In a number of hours, the Templars would make their rounds - especially concerning Anders and making sure he hadn’t made another attempt. Yes, Karl longed for days they could enjoy themselves as humans, not prisoners. 

“We’ll just have to get more creative about avoiding the templars then, hmm?”

“How is this even– you know what; I’m not sure how deep in that crooked mind of yours I want to venture into.” Karl shook his head, a clear of his throat. “Unfortunately for you, dangerous ventures that may land you in solitary upon being caught is not a kink of mine. It wouldn’t hurt you either - juuust saying.~”
