!! (parley winking in the distance)
@ensorcellerie sent ‘!!’ and I’ll write a para description of your muse from mine’s perspective, including:
Their looks ; Their personality ; And who they are to my muse + Etc!
Parlaveritrix the Cunning, conjurer and magus. Better known, by those of us who live in the 21st century, as Parley. Almost as cute as Parsley, as far as names go, but we can’t have everything, and she’s got the whole ethereal waif thing down pat. My sofa isn’t that big, but you could easily fit another three without skin-to-skin contact. Calling her a rail might be a slight to the legion of purpose-serving rails I’ve used throughout my life.
As her gaze turns from me to the retreating back of our unexpected visitor – oh infernal Sitri, Prince Deceit and local deadbeat sire – it’d be harder not to think of the time I pulled a summoning ritual to call some sort of Tartarian (or whatever those of the Dead City prefer to call themselves) torturer from Below out of her hands, half-spoken. It’s not just that I’m not too big on the extended family, more that Parley puts knowledge before self preservation.
We all gotta have something, right? Something to look forward to so we don’t just crawl under the desk and wait for the end to come. I don’t begrudge her that. The pursuit of knowledge is an admirable goal. It’s more that she thinks going to Notwarts has made her an expert on everything from A to Z. I don’t wanna know where the inflection point is for her – where she says, no, thanks, that’s too much for me.
Well. No need to think in what ifs – the angry brand on her neck’s a sign of that. Can’t read it (or at least, I can’t comprehend it further than ‘it’s a language’) , but it hurts to look at.
So why keep her around? It’s nice, I guess, to have someone who understands and doesn’t judge. Don’t always need to say ‘no, I can’t hang out tonight, I will be in some stranger’s bed teasing their soul out between their legs.’ If she can look past the whole abomination before God, soul sucker thing, I can look past that know-it-all shitty attitude.
I scratch my belly, taking a glance over my shoulder to make sure Sitri’s portal closed. “Y’wanna go to that craft fair in twenty? I think they’re gonna have that food truck you like.”
