Wide open arms? A blank look appeared on their face, then soon came the confusion. Their gaze flickered there over to the other with a question: "Really? Do you need a hug or something? Not like I'm offering. Just so you know."

[sunoath]

aurelien looks almost offended at the suggestion. a hug? the future high priest of yyll’akhiilor? his lip raises slightly and light-blonde brows scowl. “ no. ” a short answer — curt. “ tis what is written here, ” he tilts his head slightly to the side, fingers running over the hamarfae script. “ this is in seldruin… an ancient tel-quessir tongue exclusive for high magicks… i have only seen it in the oldest of our texts in yyll’akhiilor. ”

sorry for the absence y’all for the next week or two i’m getting dental work done and need a lot of rest ;-;

what a strange feeling that overcomes them, watching the tremor of emotion in aurelien's gaze. this feels private somehow, as though they are not meant to witness such a display; and yet ... here they are. shadowheart averts her eyes, though it is difficult for her to articulate why.

"it seems the lord protector is falling short of his duties,” this is, perhaps, the nicest comment they can muster about corellon. “how dreadful for you.” in a way, they do pity aurelien. after all, shar would never abandon them in such a way.

“lady shar is ever vigilant. her faithful need only listen to hear her whispers,” she responds confidently, her chin slightly aloft. there are more biting words on her tongue, but she locks them behind her teeth. aurelien has done nothing to warrant such acidity … yet. “why do you ask? do your prayers go unanswered?”

how becoming of those who walk in light.

[sunoath]

aurelien’s immediate reaction was to be defensive. his brow furrows in the slightest ( when were they not in perpetual scorn? ) and bright gold eyes drift away from the other. “ corellon has protected me all my life and he continues to do so. ” he answers shortly, a bitter taste on the tip of his tongue. not to them or corellon, but… something else that was unknown to all present parties.

“ they are not unanswered. ” this is an incomplete thought though there is the smallest hint of fear that rises at the idea of completing it. “ i suppose that i am… uncertain of what the future brings. i know what future i believe is mine. to return to my temple, to lead my people. this is what i know is my destiny. ” he takes a moment to flatten the front of his robes. “ what i have believed to be true and what is true have become increasingly two different entities as we embark on this outrageous adventure. how much farther will they break apart… ” his voice trails to silence.

how strange it was, to even be conversing with a disciple of the darkness. under any other circumstances, he would have lit his sacred flame and burned away such blasphemous words. but times were different now, everyone could see that. things could not be so black and white ( though, one could question if they ever were ). there was a necessity to adapt when there were larger issues present. mind-flayer parasites, cults, and devils all wanting stake in what was becoming a cataclysmic event day by day. perhaps, the darkness could be tolerated for a moment’s time…

[sunoath]

not to get sad on main but thinking about how hard it is to love aurelien romantically. he’s been conditioned his whole life to not show much emotion so when he does, it’s so slight that most people wouldn’t really care to see it’s significance. he comes off as a killjoy and that he doesn’t like fun or even has the time for love but gods does he want to. he craves it. he’s such a hopeless romantic at heart but he doesn’t even know it.

by the way —- i have all threads and such in my drafts and am picking away at them slowly. i haven’t missed anyone’s starters or replies, it’s just that i am a full time college student and it eats away at my free time. but i promise i am not ignoring anyone <3

[sunoath]

anyway. thinking of aurelien actually confronting his parents. thinking of him standing up for himself and expressing his own desires.

[sunoath]

aurelien needs the “it’s rotten work” to his “not to me. not if it’s you”

under most circumstances, aurelien could decently pass himself as a member of broad society. he was well-educated, well-spoken, and well-regarded. perhaps he spoke too much of corellon larenthian, of the yyllethynis and his precious yyll’akhiilor at times, but this could simply be attributed to his elven nature. however, there were times were his lack of genuine experience in the world was blatantly and pathetically apparent. this was one of those times. “ i know not what we search for, ” he speaks in frustration, tucking a tuft of hair behind his pointed ear. “ this… ‘ broè-thel ’ alludes me… ”
