@hayliel location: Catacombs notes: kiss kiss
The Spring had returned to Yavie’s steps, he led the way by walking on his hands through the catacombs, one in front of the other as he urged Hayliel to keep up. The fallen wished to see all that he’d been working on and the fairy didn’t think that there needed to be secrets between them. Yavie loved him in every way that a heart could love another, at night when he wasn’t dreaming of flaying the skin off a screaming mortal’s bones - or burning the sinew off of someone’s tissue, he was with Hayliel. Sometimes they were here and sometimes they were there but in all versions of Yavie’s vast imagination the two of them were together. He’d made a great deal of friends as of late, Levent and Severon, an exiled blood fey and a drow of the new court. They were useful, both of them. Helpful.
Hellhounds growled in the corner and Yavie lifted a hand from the ground to press it to his lips with a prominent “Shush, that’s enough - he’s friend shaped.” The fey said, his scarred hand went back to the earth, the palm mangled from his recent excursions into blood practices. Levent was right to show him how to better subjugate the mind, these infernal creatures were immensely useful. Cute too. When the ruined corridor opened into the antechamber of a ruined estate from Etruscan times, Yavie somersaulted onto his feet before he extended both hands and went, “Ta-Da!” There were various projects in the works, in tanks he’d repurposed there were creatures in various states of life and death, half-assembled animatronics, portions of weapons he’d taken apart and put back together again. None of it contained what he was looking for, but Yavie would keep searching. “I started putting it back together,” Yavie said as he brought the other to the ruined shell of the bomb they’d unearthed, “so many pieces though, it’s missing a lot so I’m going to have to replace them with my own. The material- I’m still not sure what Theneras made it out of. I haven’t been able to find his journals anywhere.”
