Lorian sighs, putting an arm around her and patting her back. "Thanks." He means it, too. There's nothing easy about their situation but at least she's been patient and understanding with them.

Lost Little One (closed with littleverit)

Nyssa’s life was routine for the most part; scavenging for herbs and fungi, hunting, treating the occasional pyromancer who sought her out. She had grown accustomed to the relative silence of her home, the insects and beasts never bothering her due to her magic. It was peaceful most times and the lamia found herself wondering if she might have a guest, the shaman chewing on a bit of honeycomb thoughtfully.  The sound of heavy splashes drew her attention, her spear raising instantly and the sigils upon her skin igniting. Gazing out at her surroundings, Nyssa swallowed her mouthful of food and slithered outside. She had learned of a few hunters who had prowled the swamp, looking for beasts to slay for bounties and the shaman had no intentions of being taken by surprise.  @littleverit

@littleverit

It had been a month and a half since his brother had been unceremoniously wedded to a meek noble girl he’d never met, and Lothric was getting increasingly suspicious of her father, the man who’d orchestrated it. Lorian had continued to treat her as a guest, letting her use his bedroom while he slept in Lothric’s as usual, and the man’s patience was clearly wearing thin. 

Something had to be done, and while Lorian did not want to risk Verit’s safety, Lothric had no such reservations. He was too sneaky, and it’s a simple matter to find a time when sir Mercier was occupied and teleport directly into his quarters.

Lothric wastes no time going through his things, looking in his dresser drawers and through the contents of his desk. Magpie-like, he can’t help but snatch a couple pieces of jewelry, but of the most interest is the journal he finds in the desk drawer. He pages through with stiff, trembling fingers, and it quickly becomes apparent Lorian had to see this... as did lady Verit. 

They couldn’t wait too long. The man would realize his journal was missing, so they give themselves only a short time to look over it before Lorian goes to fetch her, having her sit with them on the vast, curtained sea of Lothric’s daybed. 

“You’re just like me...” Lothric murmurs, as Lorian was still trying to figure out how to put such a nasty revelation. “You’re a science experiment.”

Show an appreciation for animals and other living things. Being casually cruel to birds or insects or even plants is a great way to get them both to instantly dislike you. Lorian is one of those people who loves having his hair brushed and played with.

👣

(The nine months after Merrin and Verit’s “bath time” were rocky…)

pregnancy

do the parents have one child or are there twins, triplets, etc.? Twin Boys

what do the parents name the baby(ies)? Bremin and Elovar Naïlo

did the parents discuss other names, too? Yes, but naming didn’t take place till a naming ceremony two weeks later.

how do they decide on the name(s)? Merrin named the smaller, weaker, twin after his Paladin instructor from almost 350 years prior because of the fight he had to stay alive the baby went through.

what would the child have been named if they had been the opposite sex? Eliyra, Keliri

did the parents find out the sex during pregnancy or is it a surprise? No tech like that is available in the world of Velcoria at this time.

were there any complications in the pregnancy? Hyperemesis gravidarum and preclampsia during gestation and and perineal tearing and postpartum hemorrhage  due to a difficult delivery

which parent carried the baby? Verit

how easy was it for them to conceive? Conceiving wasn’t an issue

was the child carried to term? They were delivered a month early

did the parents deliver in a hospital, at home, or somewhere else? The Temple of Varina in Arbor Station

did the delivery go according to plan? No. Nobody expected the complications Verit went through or having to resuscitate Bremin after he was delivered. If it wasn’t for the clerics and Merrin, the little one and his mother would’ve died.

did the parents have any daily rituals (reading to their belly, etc.)? Dealing with Verit’s weakened condition most of the pregnancy, talking to the babies, and lots of praying to Varina on Merrin’s part.

do the parents have a baby shower? Not really, “Felix” and Tarhun got some baby gifts though. And Lancaster was actually nice for once. At least for that day… 

what about a babymoon? Even if that were a thing, Verit would’ve been too sick to travel.

how supportive was the other parent during the pregnancy? Very

which parent worried the most and which one was chill? Merrin was definitely the worrier

which parent left pregnancy books all over the house and which didn’t touch them? If they existed? Verit would’ve. If only to keep Merrin occupied.

infancy/toddler

is the child a good sleeper? Bremin sleeps well, Elovar tends to be a night owl

how often does the child cry? Bremin and Elovar cry about the same as any normal baby

which parent finds it easier to get them to stop? Verit

how does the child behave at bath time? Bremin gets fussy if his head gets wet, and Elovar is rambunctious and a splasher. Giving him a bath is a two parent job. One to bathe, the other to catch him once he learned to walk.

what is the child’s first word? Their first word was Mama

how bad do the child’s diapers smell and which parent has the misfortune of changing them? The Nine Hells, and both once Verit got healthy again.

which parent has a harder time adapting to their new role? Merrin

just how terrible are the terrible twos? Bremin would’ve probably not been so bad if he didn’t follow his older twin’s example… And multiple kids tends to mean that if they are silent, they are planning something.

does the child go to day care? if they do, how old are they when they start? There is a nice young half-orc woman down at the bakery named Tai Amblecrown who looks after them if they have to go out of town or on a date night.

if the child doesn’t go to day care, who says home to look after them?Verit is a stay at home mom

which parent babyproofs the house? Verit

which parents designs the baby room? Genevieve aka “Felix”

which parent is more likely to give in to tantrums? Verit. Merrin doesn’t mind disciplining inappropriate behavior quickly and sternly.

is the child spoiled with toys? They’re barely what could be considered “middle class”, so any toys were made by Genevieve. (in a fantasy renaissance time period setting)

which parent does the potty training? Both

which parent has to take them outside to hose them down after a particularly nasty diaper? Both

which parent do they take after more? Merrin, but Bremin is a total momma’s boy.

what habits do they pick up from their parents? Elovar likes to imitate his father, and Bremin is starting to show signs of arcane magic abilities like his mother.

how often is the parents’ date night now? About once a month

who babysits when the parents go out? Tai Amblecrown. Genevieve was given a chance once…. and they came back to blue and orange children with a pink and green babysitter. Verit hasn’t let Genevieve around the children without supervision since.

Jen/Verit Sister-ship

Send me a ship and a one-word prompt and I’ll set a timer and write a drabble in exactly five minutes. No editing, no re-reading, I’ll just post it. [Accepting!]

It wasn’t often the pair had times  to themselves, having pursued their own practices for the coming confrontation of their father. It happened to be a day where the stars aligned and they had a moment of peace to themselves, ust the two sisters and little worries to be had. Verit hummed contentedly as her sister slowly and carefully brushed her long brown hair, Jenessa’s fingers straightening errant strands and pulling it into workable length. They remained in silence, Verit reading her book whilst her sister finished grooming her sister and began the slow work of putting the younger’s into its usual braid. There was no rush to her movements, the braiding careful and calm as the Darkmoon took her time. There was plenty of time for their distractions today. Absolutely no need to rush at the quiet moment.

Eden

Send me an au and i’ll give you 5+ headcanons about it [Accepting!]

1) Jenessa is unaware of the terror Javed aka the Chess Master is unleashing on the world from the shadows due to the first branch of pawns having been considered outdated and is kept close at hand within Javed’s fortress. 2) Unlike her sister, her powers are all still accessible to her but with the torture she received after Valkyrie’s disappearance, she is prone to emotional outbursts and has been fitted with low level suppression bracelets. 3) Jenessa or the Wraith is unaware her twin/sister is even alive, having been told by her father/Javed that she died during a routine procedure. Given the nature of Ethereals, this makes it difficult to prove as their body tends to disintegrate after death. 4) Given the strength of the first generation of Pawns from Javed’s work, Jenessa sits on a higher level than most other Pawns under the employ of the Chess Master although she has no thoughts of betrayal to him, only seeking his approval and following his orders. 5) Jenessa is abysmally uneducated about the outside world and as with most Pawns without human contact, does not know how body language works or what the significance behind motions are.

Adrian looks up from the pulp fiction novel in his hands to the small sorceress before him. Both corners of his mouth twist apart into a warm and broad grin at her company. Then, his deep mahogany eyes set across the bottle in her hands.

“Oh! Thank you kindly, dearest Verit,” he chirps, uncrossing his legs as he accepts the bottle of wine, “That’s quite thoughtful of you.” The Blade inspects the label for a brief moment before saying anything more. It’s so old that the label has faded entirely. Interesting.

After that discovery, he comments with a smile, “I’ll make sure to savor it. Thank you, again. This was a thoughtful gift.”
