Spite says this when you reach the well in the Crossroads, the one that connects the Fade with the village in the Hossberg Wetlands. The despair demon that resides in the well is known for luring people with whispers/echoes of something they want, and then manipulating them to their doom.
SO does Spite's comment actually mean that the well demon has targeted him and Lucanis by imitating Rook's scent?
A soft and fluffy one shot piece between Rook and Lucanis. He's a little unsure, she's madly in love and it's after the first time they have slept together. Generic Rook name. Fem Rook.
Rook watched Lucanis move about her room, retrieving his scattered clothing. Their first evening together had been filled with awkward moments, quiet laughter, and a closeness she hadnât realized she craved. They were officially together now, in every sense of the word.
Propped up on one arm, she let her gaze follow him, a soft smile tugging at her lips. âYou know, you donât have to sneak out of here,â she teased gently.
Lucanis glanced back at her, holding his shirt in his hands. âI know,â he said quietly, his voice steady but carrying a flicker of hesitation. âBut⌠I donât want the others to talk. Not yet. I want to hold onto this... just us... for a little longer.â
Rook chuckled softly, brushing her hair out of her face. âAnd you think they havenât already been talking about us?â
A faint smirk ghosted across his face, but it didnât quite reach his eyes. âI know they have,â he admitted, his tone thoughtful. âBut this⌠tonight⌠itâs new. Itâs ours. I donât want to ruin it byâŚâ He trailed off, looking away as if searching for the right words.
âBy being under the spotlight?â she finished for him, her voice kind.
Lucanis nodded, his lips twitching into a nervous smile. He pulled his shirt on and began buttoning it slowly. âI had an idea of what tonight was supposed to be,â he said, his voice softer now, âand I know I didnât live up to it.â
âLucanis,â Rook interrupted, sitting up straighter, âYou were wonderful. We were wonderful.â
He didnât look convinced. His eyes flickered with doubt as he rolled up his sleeves, his movements slow and deliberate. âYouâre saying that to be kind.â
âNo,â Rook said firmly, her voice gentle but steady. âIâm saying it because itâs true. Weâll figure it out together, it doesnât have to be perfect or some grand romantic gesture. I lovââ She caught herself, cheeks warming, before finishing with, âI like being with you.â
Lucanisâs brow furrowed slightly as he caught her slip, but he didnât press her on it. Instead, he focused on fastening his waistcoat, smoothing the creases with unnecessary precision.
âHey,â Rook said softly, sliding off the couch and gathering the blanket around her as she crossed the room. She stopped in front of him, resting a hand on his arm. âYou donât have to carry all this doubt, you know. Last night, it meant everything to me... because it was with you.â
Lucanis finally met her gaze, his eyes searching hers. He swallowed hard, his voice low when he replied, âI just⌠I didnât want to disappoint you.â
âYou didnât,â Rook assured him, her smile soft and sincere. âI promise, you didnât.â
For a moment, they stood in comfortable silence, the outside world forgotten. Then, with a hesitant but genuine smile, Lucanis leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
âThank you,â he replied, his breath warm against her skin.
âAlways,â she whispered in return.
He stepped back, his expression a mix of shyness and resolve. âIâll see you at breakfast?"
âDo I get pancakes?â Rook asked, her lips curling into a playful grin.
Lucanis paused, narrowing his eyes thoughtfully. âThat depends... do I get another kiss before I leave?â
âAnd here I thought I was the easily bribed one,â she teased, moving closer. He leaned slightly forward to meet her halfway. The kiss started soft, tentative even, but warmth quickly blossomed between them. That unmistakable passion of his, the kind she had only just begun to discover a few hours earlier, wrapped around them, pulling her deeper into the moment.
When he finally pulled back, his forehead rested lightly against hers, âYouâll get your pancakes, but only because you asked so nicely.â
She looked up at him with a playful glint in her eye. âItâs a date?â
âItâs a date,â he echoed softly, the words carrying more weight than the moment might have warranted.
He stepped back reluctantly, his gaze lingering on her for one last moment before he turned toward the door. As he slipped out, the faintest trace of a smile on his face. Rook flopped back onto the couch with a smile of her own.
Pancakes and Lucanis. Maker, she could get used to this.
