a gift for @augustcavaliere,
note: i may have read the plot drop where the nomad and the rest of the asphodels were whisked to the otherworld but actually i can’t read, so, hello
“You love a good fucking surprise don’t you,” they’re simply exasperated at the sight of August, not entirely betrayed but there’s some element of confusion buzzing beneath Eric’s skin. The lycan would like to have presumed they were friends, as congruently meshed as two screwed up and avoidant entities could genuinely be, and yet the man who had stood beside The Pythia seemed to be woefully lacking in August’s typical charm. Creatures of the undead had swarmed Eric as they made their initial descent onto the party and though the lycan could claw and tear at their putrid flesh it hardly made a difference to their strength. Only when he came into August’s proximity did they seem to cease, shooting the witch a confused glare, “When I joked for you to bring me back if I ever met my maker this is not what I meant.” The clarification is firm and huffed out as they are able to catch their breath for what seemed to be the first time since chaos had erupted in the palace.
