There was such trust in Sotha Sil as he wrapped his arms about the other man, pressing against him in an almost childish plea for affection. In his time since his first meeting with Nerevar he had grown tall as a young tree, yet he nestled against the man he had come to call family. He lacked the smell of oil and metal, a breath of fresh air in its own way. A soft huff of laughter left Sotha Sil as he pressed his nose against waves of white hair, closing his eyes as he cherished the warmth and safety his friend provided for him.
❝ I suppose Vehk has indeed aided in the growth of my stealth; perhaps too much so. ❞
nerevar’s smile only further grows, crossing his arm to reach back & hold seht’s mechanical hand. there was still a long battle ahead of them- still the furious army of nords to fend out of dwemereth (soon to be renamed resdaynia). but all that drifts away from indoril, leaving him only with seht’s warmth & the beautiful glow of azura’s great dawn all around them. he gives seht’s hand a little squeeze & laughs.
" nonesense! no such thing as being too stealthy! “ he says, his voice getting that familiar tone of the strategic warhero.

nerevar shifts so that they are side by side, still cuddling, still with their backs pressed against some great tree. the sun unfurls on the horizon, and nerevar closes his eyes for a moment, whispering a quiet thank you to his god. sotha sil is going to make it. nerevar is sure of that now.
“ speaking of, i know we have that meeting today, but...” nerevar’s voice trails off. “ what if we played hooky? just wandered around, you and me, seeing what trouble we can get into? ” he smirks in that irritatingly self-confident way. “ been too long since we spent time together, just you and i. ”
