Guys, I had such a vivid dream last night, and I need to tell you about it.
We’ll start with what’s most important:
The character that was technically me was a middle-aged ex-noblewoman (human) who had been (wrongfully) framed for the murder of her husband. She somehow found herself on her old estate, and she was just screaming and sobbing at the state her home had been left in. It was completely abandoned and overgrown, and it hurt that the place she had her happiest memories in was completely left alone after she ran away (they probably would have killed her(??)).
Then, a middle-aged teifling and a young human boy come across her, and they invite her to travel with them until she can get her bearings and he okay on her own. Her leaving very much does not happen as they quickly grow fond of her and vice versa.
There are two very specific parts of the sequence with them that stood out to me.
The first one was the woman and the young boy. Her husband had gifted her a golden necklace, and this boy is so adamantly trying to find her a matching seat of earrings in a jewelry shop. I think it was like.. supposed to mean that he and the teifling were also important to her? She found it very endearing, and they had a kind of mother-son relationship.
The second scene was the woman walking through a town with the teifling, and there was a band or a bard playing nearly. She starts to dance a little while they walk, twirling around, and he asked what she was doing. I remember her asking him something along the lines of, “what, do you not dance?” with a soft smile. And something that didn’t happen but I actively wanted to happen while still dreaming was for her to take his hands and start dancing in the streets with him. They were also starting to fall for each other.
ALSO!! The boy and the teifling had a father-son relationship. This kid looks up to the teifling so much, and the teifling wasn’t, like, super mushy with him, but he cares for and worries about this kid.
I want more of this. I want more of this group so much.
I drew them sometime after I woke up, too.
