                                   ❧ pleasures ; music

fingers brush along an old song book, a gift from the keeper Marethari at her coming of age celebration. she had been so happy. often times, lips will mouth familiar words, lips vibrate with hums of memorable tunes. Merrill had always enjoyed the simple tunes and sweet embellishments of the dalish songs, their stories-- the lore. childhood memories would awaken, the sweet sound of her mother’s voice singing her to sleep, the tired voice of the keeper lulling a scared child to bed. a smile would shape her lips whenever that song would touch her her lips. mir da’len somniar.

☆ - headcanon about stars

                                          ❧ comfort ; stars 

green amber eyes stare up into the dark void freckled in bright twinkling lights. eyes search for shapes familiar to her, symbols of dalish lore-- while the shems see ‘the oak’, the dale sees ‘vir tanadhal’. stars serve as a comfort, a warm reminder of her childhood. the young raven haired dale sprawled upon dark blades of grass, a friend to her left and a friend to her right. fingers would point, giggles were shared, and they’d stay up all night -- well, until the keeper would call them back to camp. its dangerous at night, da’len, she’d say, taking her hand and leading her to their tent. and though merrill understood, wide green eyes would always move past the keeper’s gaze and to the stars behind above her.
