Comm of the boys done by @sbeep! She really captured the whole Varric is Tolerating Some Auggie Shenanigans vibes these two have

characters are from wightwold.net, not for free use

I cannot get over this art, it's so good and captures them both so well 😌 And I finally have somewhat of a reference for Auggie's scars

Augustus Saint from Hallowed Be Thy Name is asexual!

26 for everyone

26. How does your character behave around children?

Soibhan: For the most part, Soi loves children, especially rambunctious toddlers because she will happily play a game of chase with them around the yard. Babies are less her forte; she needs kids that are mobile and not delicate to the point she's afraid to hold them

Augustus: Auggie loves kids. He is like a big mama bear around them, becoming endlessly patient and understanding and deeply protective. Kids seem to gravitate towards him despite his size and bearded face, putting their trust in him to keep them safe

Killian: Do not give this man your child to watch or hold or care for. He won't let it come to harm but like... he has zero paternal instinct. He's gonna feed them pizza and candy. No bedtimes. Bathtime will consist of chucking them in the nearest puddle.

Malachi: Malachi is to kids like a (common)cat is to water—not thrilled, preferably nowhere near
