Llonydd before, and after.

Basically the same, but I gave her the greener eyes and the Shae Vizla hair, so you can see her eyes better.

Also I recently discovered that "llonydd" is basically unpronounceable to people who aren't Welsh. It's a... weird... noise... that I just cannot fathom even when listening to a recording. IPA says "No English equivalent; similar to the voiceless l in please but with considerably more friction". But the recordings sound almost like something between a "sh" or a "ch". Which has nothing to do with L. I dunno maybe someone who actually speaks the language can help me out, cuz the closest I can manage is "Chonith".

It does kinda make me laugh though because I'm sure Alien names that are basically unpronounceable to other species is a thing, so it's probably fine. Could make for some funny dialogue though.

Inktober 14: Llonydd!

She's tiny and adorable and I love her. Seriously she's tiny she's like 5 ft tall. Give her an umbrella and she can FLY TO HER DESTINATION LIKE MARY POPPINS.

Llonydd has completed the first part of her journey, but more trials await!

Next up: Ilum! (And then Shadow of Revan expansion because I'm impatient and all that other nonsense can buzz off).

Body Language, multiples of 5

- Nicknames? Pet names? Any in-jokes?

Cad calls Llon his sunflower, Llon on the other hand.. well lets just say nicknames is hard when you cant talk.Llon appearantly tells really good jokes but Cad claims they dont translate well into actual words.

- Who drives? Cooks? Does the handiwork? Cleans? Pays the bills? Handles the public?

Llon takes care of household chores that Cad find difficuilt, but is not allowed to cook things due to his exstensive history of setting things on fire.

- How adventurous are they?Not very. Even though Llon is energetic he has learned to find a balance between his need for activity and Cad's comfort zones. They take walks in Caledon and then Llon gets to tire himself out running around and exploring the close surroundings while Cad sits down and drinks some tea with Sunshine.

- What does their home look like? Their room?

Small and cosy and a little messy. Llon moved into Cad's living quarters when they got together, but even before that he rarely spent the night in his own. Llon goes between energetic and lazy and has a tendency to leave his clothes on the floor.

- How much time do they spend together? Do they share their feelings, or hold things in?

All the time more or less. Llon is Cad's second pair of eyes (the first pair being Sunshine) and Cad is Llon's voice. Llon especially has difficuilties communicating with others so he constantly seeks himself to his love; who understands him properly.

- Could they manage a long distance relationship?

Probably not? Their entire relation is built on their communication, which requires touch.

- Do they bring out the best in each other, or the worst? Do they have a fatal flaw?

They bring out the best in each other! Before they met they both had at least a vague sense of emptiness or lack of purpose. Cad used to think very badly of himself and Llon is helping him build confidence by spoiling him and treating him like a prince. Llon used to be borderline destructive because he could never communicate properly with others, and Cad is helping him reject hostility.

Any special memories? Do they have a special place they like to go to?

The Caledon Kennels. They sit on that grassy little hill watching/listening to the pups; and its just like the day they first met.

- Any special dreams or goals they have as a couple? Any heartbreaks? Regrets?

Nah. They both are very happy and very much in love. Both of them feel silly for doubting the others feelings at first.

Llon

1. The color of their eyes.

Llonydd's eyes seem pitch black but are actually a very dark amber in sunlight.

2. How old they are.

A little over a year, he was born in the middle of summer.

3. One strange thing/quirk/defining characteristic of their body or physical appearance.

Llon was born without the parts that give other sylvari they ability to speak. His mouth and lungs are fully functional but he can not make any sounds.

His bark is black but his hair/foliage lacks pigmentation and is completely white.

4. One strange thing/quirk/defining characteristic of their personality

His elemental powers manifest themselves according to his mood and act as a way for him to communicate. When he is happy he has little gusts of breeze around him and when he is sad a could of mist forms around him.

5. How their parents met.

Llon is a sylvari and does not have parents.

6. Who their first love was, and why they loved them

Llonydd's first, current and only love is Cadfael. He loves Cad because Cad understands him in a way that nobody else does, even when they met Cad had the patience to communicate with Llon despite the extreme barrier. (Llon is a mute and Cad is blind)

7. How/why I came up with the concept for them

I wanted a sylvari with a black and white colourscheme and the rest just kinda happened.

8. Who they eventually end up with

Cadfael

9. Their favorite animal.

Sylvan hounds and any kind of bird

Cadfael looked up at the rustle of the doorway curtain. "Good morning, Llonydd. I wonder, could you help me find Sunshine? She's in a playful mood and ran off with my pants."

[rprambles]

"I wanna ruin our friendship, we should be lovers instead."

Having no visual distractions left Cadfael musing in his head a great deal. Not always a good thing, particularly when his thoughts focused on a certain sylvari. Not that thinking about Llonydd was bad, per se. But Cadfael was sure he spent far too much time doing so.

He dropped his arm over the edge of the cot to pet Sunshine, trying to distract his thoughts with textile sensations instead. Her fronds tickled his palm, coarser than Llonydd’s leaves. They felt more like polished bark, truly, sweeping over half of his face. Thorns, this wasn’t working.

Cadfael ran his free hand over his face and sighed heavily. Perhaps it would have been better if he’d flirted his way into Llonydd’s bed and then bid him farewell. Just another brief, pleasant meeting.

But if he had, this friendship would be lost to both of them. But that was the problem, wasn’t it? He’d never considered taking a friendship further. That they chose to keep that connection with him was enough. Except when it came to Llonydd, apparently.

He pushed the thoughts out of his head. The last thing he wanted to do was burden Llonydd further. He wouldn’t ask that of him. He’d keep his mouth shut and these, these silly dreams to himself.
