would Sebek's grandpa go catatonic seeing janitor in the modern day?
Hahaha I'd imagine that Baul has made his peace and fully accepted that he's never going to meet the Janitor again, so when he does see them again, he thinks they're simply a descendant of that human he has shared tender moments with, so he isn't outright judgmental of his grandson's human friend from college. Who's also a staff member and has not one lick of magic. But also, he's made it pretty clear to his family about his distaste for humans, so he has to keep his regular prickly composure of just, not verbally engaging with the Janitor.
But it obviously doesn't escape his family's eyes that his ears twitch every time the Janitor's voice can be heard nearby. And even bites a chuckle back into his throat when they say something snippy or funny.
Either way, something is clearly nagging at Baul, because the amount of similarities between his first human love and this Janitor just start cropping up and it bothers him. Are they mocking him? Is he a part of some cosmic joke that he's unaware of?
Yeah that Janitor isn't hiding anything, but they're also not outright saying anything because they just want to see how long it will take for Baul to connect the dots.
And when he does connect the dots, it's in the middle of a family dinner, probably something the Janitor says to Sebek and everything just clicked in Baul. Only then does he go catatonic, and he has to be helped to bed like he's aged another 500 years.
Janitor is having the time of their life. Baul is still so fun to mess with.
He will recover quicker than Sebek. Probably thirty minutes later and a talk must be had. Privately.
"So, does Sebek know that his grandpa's a hypocrite?"
"...I--"
"You sure taught him to be judgemental to humans, for someone that once so eagerly loved having my tongue in your mou--"
"MM-HM! ...you're right. I am, in fact, a hypocrite. A hypocrite that loved a human. A hypocrite that grew to resent humans, and even let those feelings taint those once soft memories he held so dear. Memories that regained their luster when his daughter nearly bit his head off for even suggesting her human husband wasn't worthy of her. And this hypocrite, standing before you with evidence of his mistakes still echoing in his bloodline, missed you all the same."
"...haha, glad to see you're living well enough to reflect on yourself like this. You have a beautiful family. Though, are you ever going to tell them that you once made out with human multiple ti--"
Constrangido sim, desde muito tempo por tocar no assunto, mas chegou a hora e Odrik deve aproveitar a boa vontade do Baur. — Senhor Baur...Obrigado por mim, por um tempo, pensei que esse encontro não seria possível.
I need more Briar Valley lore in general, but also more information about Baur and his family.
Baur did emigrate from the Sunset Savanna to the north, which is an interesting detail itself… What could have made him do that? I’ve speculated that he might have been banished. Or perhaps he fell in love with Sebek’s grandmother? Maybe they moved together already?
In Lilia’s dream, it wasn’t clear whether Baur was already married at that time, or if he met Sebek’s mother during the war.
It’s pure speculation and headcanon, but considering Baur’s hatred of humans (which he partially passed down to Sebek), and the fact that Sebek’s grandmother is never mentioned - despite Baur being referenced many times in voice lines and vignettes, even in the New Year special line - we can assume she’s dead. It would make sense lore-wise if humans played a role in her death.
Since the war shown in Lilia’s dream took place 400 years ago, maybe Sebek’s mother was just a newborn baby back then, or at least a small child? We don’t know the lifespan of crocodile fae either.
If Sebek’s mother witnessed the war as a child, that would mean a lot for my sona’s interactions with her...
Imagine learning that Sebek’s fiancée also has war experience, and that her father was a war veteran too. So many interesting interactions happen during their meetings…
It’s also one of the reasons why Baur might not be so angry upon meeting Sebek’s wife - especially after realizing that he and I could bond over honoring fallen warriors (while Sebek just sits next to us, utterly confused, but trying to be respectful lol)
Trying to explain the concept of missiles and drones to faes (like fire magic, scary). And wondering why the enemy always comes from the east (not the LoTR reference)

two days into a case with almost no leads, aaron felt the stress consuming him. and apparently it was too obvious for everyone. the first thing coming out of your lips when you entered his hotel room in the middle of the night, fully aware that he was still awake, had been an:
“damn Hotchner, the stress is really ‘bout to eat you alive, huh?” you said teasingly.
this wasn’t rare. you were comfortable around him and he was comfortable around you. you two were friends, good friends actually, and had been for a while now. there was no one in the world he trusted more than you, and moments so casual yet so intimate like this were very common between you.
which made him hate even more the tension he felt. you were just keeping him company, having a conversation to try and relax a little from the hard day you two had.
and there he was, fighting every cell on his body to not look at you for too long, to not let his mind wander with images of you towards dangerous territory…
you were giving him such a hard time ever since you walked through his door only wearing a tiny and very delicate silk nightgown and nothing else... not even something underneath it. a detail he had discover while you were walking around the nightstand, the lamp on it illuminating your silhouette so intensely that the thin fabric of your dress became slightly see through. truly, your lack of panties was not that visible, in fact, he probably wouldn’t have noticed if it wasn’t because he was paying too much attention. his eyes had been fixed on you, completely entranced, as you talked on the phone with Morgan over some details of the current case. it felt impossible for him to look away from your figure and he indulged himself for a moment as you were too distracted on the conversation to pay attention to him. or so he thought.
you were now sitting on the border of the small desk in the hotel room, aaron sitting on a chair in front of you, a glass of whiskey in hand and his mind fully fixating on the image of your exposed thighs, since your already short dress had rolled up from the position you were in, barely covering you in the right parts. he cursed himself, feeling awful for objectifying you like this. it was only a stupid, little, simple dress -that made you look hot as hell- and he was losing his head over it.
“now,” your voice pulled him out of his thoughts, “i have a very special question for you…”, you said placing your glass of water next to you in the desk.
“shoot”, he answered playfully before taking another sip of his drink. he knew you were down for no good as the mischievous smile appeared on your face.
“how many times have you cum all over your hands while thinking of me?”
he choked on his drink and started coughing. he could hear you chuckling at his reaction.
“YN, no, i-…”
“don’t even try.”
he stared at you for a moment, how could you possibly knew? he was sure he was being cautious, he forced himself to look away from you all the time, he fought so hard against all his urges and desires so no one could learn about them, specially you. but with the confidence that radiated from you he could tell you knew everything, and you have for a while. this wasn’t news to you.
he did his best to fake some confidence, he had to in order to play your game.
“you’re being quite bold” his voice was full of arrogance, taking another sip of his drink before speaking again, “considering the fact that you don’t even know if i like you,” he tried to act -and look- calm, the exact opposite of how he was truly feeling.
“darling, you're not as subtle as you think you are”, the petname fell from your lips like a sweet curse. you had him at the palm of your hands and you knew that… how he had lost his mind the second he saw you for the first time, how crazy for you he was since that day… “i mean, you’re so hard to read, not even an entire team of experts profilers, hell, i bet not even Rossi knows about this little crush of yours”
it wasn’t a little crush and you knew that too. that’s why you were in full control here.
“and yet you saw through me…”, he wanted to believe his disinterest was credible… but he was truly a fool when it came to you.
“i always see through you, darling”, you were outright mocking him, full on using the power you had on him. “c’mon, i learned how to read people’s emotions since i was a little kid. you can surely trick the best agents of the FBI sir, but not me”.
he knew that, from the very beginning. that was probably one of the main reasons why you two became friends so easily. he could pretend perfectly well with the rest of the world, but not with you. if anyone knew how to play pretend it was you, too many times he had witness your acting skills while working a case, the whole team had agreed from the beginning that you could easily go for an acting career if you wanted to and become very successful at it. and if you were capable of faking perfectly, you were capable of knowing when someone else was faking as well. which is why he now felt stupid for even daring to think he could hide his feelings from you.
“mmm, i’m sorry sweetie, but i couldn’t keep waiting for you to find the courage to do something about this anymore…”, you touch the tip of his nose gently with a small bop! he took in a sharp breath, trying to clear his mind to do something.
“YN, YN, this isn’t right. that’s why i did nothing about it. do you know how much this could jeopardize your career? what everyone will say if they find out that you and me… your boss… that we…” but once again, your laugh interrupted him.
“that can only happen if they find out”, the smirk never left your face, leaning towards him to talk in a more intimate way, “so tell me, aaron hotchner, are you good at keeping secrets?” the teasing in your voice, the way your face was so close to him he could admire perfectly every little detail of your features…, how was he supposed to act rationally and not give in to his desires when you looked so fucking beautiful?
“cat ate your tongue?” you chuckled, leaning back to your old position, pulling him out of his trance, “c’mon Hotchner, you didn’t answer my first question”
what was he to do now? he was doomed. there was not scaping this anymore. and to be honest he was beginning to question why did he do it in the first place. the memories of those long nights he pleasured himself at the thought of you came rushing in on his mind… fuck it.
he swallowed the knot that was forming on his throat, “too many to count”, he whispered, completely unable to look at you.
“mm, sorry, i couldn’t hear you, what?” you mocked him.
“too many to count” he finally let out looking up just to catch your very much amused expression, “i’ve had thought about you in… not very appropriate ways… too many times to count”.
your malicious smile only grew wider at his confession.
“would you like to show me what you’ve thought about?”, you said in a sweet and innocent tone, leaning towards him and placing your hands on his chest, looking at him through your lashes.
“are you sure you want this?” he put his hands on top of yours, pressing them gently against him.
instead of replying you leaned forwards again, your face was so close to his he could feel your breath on his skin, you tilted your head slightly so your nose could caressed up his jawline delicately until your lips reached the level of his ear, almost touching it, leaving a trail of goosebumps behind. Oh, he was doomed.
you felt him tense as you whispered: “are you sure you don’t want to bury your cock inside me?”.
suddenly it became hard to breath, words and oxygen stuck inside him as a raging desire traveled through his body, making it impossible for him to hold back the loud groan that came out of his mouth.
he straightened himself on his sit, then left his drink next to yours on the desk, “talk to your boss with more respect”, the usual commanding tone he used at work made its appearance, he was clearly trying to take back some of the control.
“is that what you want from me sir? to respect you?”, you inclined your head slightly, the purest most innocent look in your eyes, although the look on his face told you he didn’t buy your little act at all.
“yes”, his intense gaze burning into your skin.
“then i’d be more than happy to do anything you want me to, sir, out of respect, obviously”.
you gave in. closing the little distance left between you and capturing aaron’s lips in a passionate kiss. you felt his hands on your waist first, traveling south to grab your thighs, pulling them gently. you understood the message, moving to straddle him, feeling how his firm strong legs gave support to your body as you adjust yourself on top of him.
breathlessly the two of you pulled away breaking the kiss, but not even seconds later his hands grabbed your face to pull you into another kiss. he was desperate and it showed. but honestly? so were you.
with the new position you couldn’t help moving your hips against his, rubbing your bare cunt against the growing bulge inside his pants, pleasure growing inside you with every move.
“such a fucking tease”, he said as your mouth moved to his cheek and then to his neck, placing gentle kisses all over him, “what shall i do with you?” his grip on your hips tightened, keeping you still. you moaned at the pressure on your bare clit against the soaked fabric of his pants.
“anything you want, sir”, you stop your attention on his neck to look at him, and he couldn’t help but groan at the sight of you biting your lower lip expectantly, your hands wandering all over his chest.
“how?”, he guided your hips, pressing you harder against his crotch, a moan scaping your lips from the pleasure it created, “like a good girl or like a slut?” it was his time to tease you now, guiding you again to keep grinding on him. you threw your head back at the pleasure, exposing your neck to him. he couldn’t wait to leave marks all over it.
“trust me sir, for you, i could be anything”, you answered almost breathlessly, your movements becoming more eager by the second, “because i love being a good girl”, you looked at him again with that pure, innocent face of yours before rotating your hips on him, making him moan.
“good girls don’t dress like whores for their boss to see”, the small smack of his massive hand on your ass made you moan louder than before.
“can you blame me? i can’t help to be a slut for you”, your hands traveled to his hands, guiding them to your hips, where the edge of your nightgown stood, “but if you don’t like it, we can take it off…”, you looked to him through your lashes once again, knowing perfectly well the effect it had on him, guiding his hands to pull up your dress at a painfully slow pace.
“no”, he stop your movements, “not until i’ve fucked the shit out of you in it”.
“mm yes sir, please, please do it”, rubbing yourself against him with a new-founded intensity.
“you want me to fuck you?” his hands started to wander dangerously around your waist and up your body.
“oh...-oh! yes sir, please, pleaseee” he was making you desperate, desperate for his touch, desperate for more.
“where?” he chuckled at your pitiful sounds as he finally grabbed your breasts with harshness, pinching and twisting both of your nipples.
“anywhere! i’m entirely yours... fuck, wow!” you were almost screaming and he knew he could come just from seeing you fall apart from his touch.
“first, you’re going to be a good slut and suck me off,” he stopped your moves and laugh at the groan you let out in protest at the interrupted pleasure, “are we clear?” the firmness in his voice sent shivers down your spine.
“yes sir,” you couldn’t help but pout at him, his hands keeping you in your place, unable to move. one of his hands left your waist to softle caress your cheek.
“can i come in your mouth?” this time his voice was softer.
“yes sir,” aaron was impressed at the effect you took on him, one look at you and he was a goner. and now the idea of what he was about to do was painfully pleasant, “but, only on one condition” you interrupted his train of thoughts, your hands fiddling with the first button of his shirt,.
“what is it?” anything. for you, he would do anything.
but he certainly wasn’t ready to hear your request.
“that you pretty please come inside me later” you said in the sweetest tone he had ever heard. he could hardly swallow and you had to fight the urge not to smile triumphantly at the shock on his face.
“are you sure?” he asked nervously. god, you were the end of him.
“yes sir, very”
“you shouldn’t have told me that”
“why, sir?”
“because now i’m going to make sure all of your holes are always full, how does that sound?” now it was his time to mock you as you loudly moaned at his proposal.
“oh! sounds perfect sir, please” you desperately tried to free yourself from his control to grind yourself against him again.
“you truly are the biggest cumslut i’ve ever met, i haven’t even fuck you yet and you already want to dry me entirely”, he chuckled at your poor attempts to get some pleasure.
“for you only, sir”, you started blinking fast, a look on seduction of your face. he smiled knowingly. you were trying to coerce him into letting you move again.
“i can’t wait to have my seed flooding out of you”, he said caressing your face with one of his hands, his thumb ghosting over your lips.
“mmm, sir, please, stop teasing”, you pouted after you tried to capture his thumb with your lips and he quickly put it away.
“fuck, you really want that, do you?” he truly was surprise at how you seemed to go feral with the idea of him filling you with his cum. and god was he happy to fulfill that wish of yours.
“yes sir, please, i want nothing more”, you pleaded.
Started this painting in January and touched it probably once every 3 months or so this year. Finally decided to sit down and finish this up before the New Year, and while it's still winter.
I also did a painting of Baur's Reach about 3 years ago just to get the colours down, since this is my favourite location in the whole game, and I remember not being too happy with the piece. So I guess this is also me redeeming myself in my eyes.
