Ra's is curious about his counterpart quigon so tahl tells him about quigon.

@mostie01

combined with this anon prompt, “Ra’s decides since tahl is considered queen she be crowned as it with him giving her a specially made sword.”

It was a quiet evening, relatively rare in the League of Shadows. Usually there was always someone needing something, or something going wrong and if that weren’t the case, then Damian would come up with a request or one of his famous ideas. But Damian was away with his mother. The official version was that he was actually participating in a mission, but Tahl knew better. He and his mother were off to Gotham, to visit the boy’s biological father, Bruce Wayne. Tahl had heard tails about him, but she wouldn’t judge. After all, she was a Jedi and she would only come to conclusions, were she face to face with the man in question.

Long story short, Tahl had a quiet evening and could finally do something without a real purpose, except for having something to do. The female Jedi was following one of her hobbies, one she rarely participated in, since the life of a Jedi did not allow for much free time. Actually, the fact that she was rather good in embroidery was fairly simple. Jedi Initiates could chose meditative and calming activities from different fields. They were supposed to help, should traditional meditation not work. Tahl knew that Qui-Gon had chosen a special sparring method for it, while his Padawan preferred drawing. It was not like Obi-Wan did join Qui-Gon every once and a while, but he had told her in a private moment, that he preferred wielding a pen much more than wielding his saber in order to calm his mind.

Tahl however kept loyal to her embroidery, which is why she was sitting on the clean and soft red carpet, near the cackling fire in the chimney. Ra’s preferred simply things and therefore there was a fireplace instead of a radiator. Tahl didn’t mind, actually she liked the sound of the burning wood, it was surprisingly soothing and the way the flames danced around the walls, created a cozy atmosphere.

In an armchair nearby, was no other than Ra’s Al Ghul himself. He was reading through important looking documents, seemingly deep in thoughts, while Tahl sat at his feet, doing her work. She was currently putting the emblem of the League of Shadows on one of the pillows. There was no real reason for it, just that it looked good and that it kept ehr hands working. 

After sitting in companionable silence, it was Ra’s, who broke it. He put his documents away, laying them on a low table to his right, where also a glass of some alcoholic liquid rested. He had not yet touched the liquor, realized Tahl.

“Do you remember the day you arrived here?” the tall male questioned out of the blue.

Thankfully, the Noorian was used to dividing her attention, which was probably the only reason, why she did not sting her own finger with the needle. “For a fact, I do. How could I forget, being surrounded by hundreds of men and women and eventually, you appearing?”

A rich chuckle escaped the male. “Indeed. It was a good day, one of the best in my entire life.” The honey skinned female knew that her lower had a certain age. in the Force, he felt even older than Yoda, but she quickly threw that thought aside, knowing that it was absurd. “I also remember you calling me Qui-Gon… tell me about him.”

Tahl unconsciously bit her bottom lip and rested the half finished pillow back on her lap, stopping her movements for a moment. “What do you want to know?”

“He is important to you, even a blind man could see it… I want to know, how much.”

She made a humming sound. “You have to know that Qui-Gon… he is my friend for as long as I can think, he was always there, when I needed him and I could always count on him. We have been through very much together, he helped me, I helped him. But… but one of his… students, turned on him and afterwards he began to… change. The incident left scars and I guess they will never heal. HE will never heal. He had changed, but then again, so have I.”

“Changed?”

A small smile appeared on her features. Now that she had begun talking, she could not stop. “There was a time, when I thought that I truly loved him…  But sometimes it is hard to tell for certain, since the two of you look so much alike…”

For a few moments, neither adult moved or said a word. Tahl could feel her companion’s eyes on her, but she ignored it in favor of checking her work for mistakes. It DID happen sometimes. 

“You love me.” it was more like a question than an actual statement.

“Yes,” she did not hesitate. At least in this point, her feelings were absolutely clear. it was a small mercy.

“Good,” he said and stood up. Surprised gold-green striped eyes followed the brown haired man, who made his way to the other side of the room. “Good, because I intended to give you this.” He returned with a sword in his hands.

“A sword?” she asked curiously.

“Yes,” the weapon was carefully placed before her. “This weapon is my life. it was the first blade I have ever wielded, it had saved me out of countless situations.” He hesitated. “I want you to have it. It is just befitting of my future queen.”

Tahl did not know what to say. She simply stared at the male in front of her, before her eyes darted to the weapon and afterwards right back again. “I… don’t know what to say,” she eventually said, realizing that he had been waiting for a reply.

A soft look appeared on his features. “This will be enough,” he leaned down and placed his lips softly on Tahl’s, coaxing a sweet and slow kiss out of her. She was a little confused by everything and decided to meditate on it a little bit later, when everything had settled in and when her mind decided to properly work again.

Ra’s straightened and returned to his vacated seat. To any outsider, it would look, like he was reading through his papers again, but in truth he was watching his partner. There was something about this Qui-Gon guy, that made him feel uneasy. It was also the reason, why he had not pushed her for further information, he did not know, if he would have been able to tolerate with them. There was just something and he was not sure that he was going to like it.

At its core, chaos. On its face, curiosity.

[lazyreinelle]

I had an interesting thought. How intriguing would it be to read ASOIAF or F&B from the POV of the Iron Throne? Like a really passive aggressive commentary from THE Iron Throne about the entire history of the Targaryens, Robert's Rebellion, Robert's reign, ASOIAF.. everything...I'm very curious about this.

Why would you take drugs Riddler?

EN: I can't blame you for illiteracy as you're aware I did what I did, so what I will blame you for is skimming The Riddler's words, which shame, my dear, for not giving me your full attention.
