"I can't do it anymore!" Tae @ Nyth

“Yes, yes you can!”

Nythendris took Tae’s face in her hands. Hot and wet, tears rolled over her fingers as she forced her head up.

“You think just because he’s gone, I’m going to let you give up?!” Her canines were bared, and her brows were furrowed, but it was pain, not anger that contorted her expression this way. Her heart ached. She watched fresh tears welling up in her friend’s eyes, her face twisting in misery. “Do you think he’d ever forgive me, if I let you give up? Do you think I could forgive myself?!”

Comfort wasn’t something that came easily to her. All she knew how to do was yell. To order. To demand. She had never been soft on herself in her grief, but by Elune, she wished she had; if only to be warm for her now.

“I can’t... I just can’t,” Tae pulled away from her, hands reaching to push Nyth’s away from her face. When she looked up at her again, there was desperation in her eyes. She looked frightened, but above all else, lost. “He was everything.”

Without a second thought she reached out and pulled Tae flush against her. Strong, lithe arms holding her tight. She heard a sharp inhale of shock. Then after a moment, her friend - no, her daughter - dissolved into tears in her arms. She simply squeezed her all the closer. She drew in her own rattled breath. Her face twisted as she fought back a surge of grief and pity that for a moment threatened to consume her as well. Only the need to be strong - for her sake - kept her from letting it.

"I know,” she croaked. What could she say? What could possibly make this any easier?

“But this can’t all be in vain, Tae. You have to go on, if not for yourself then for him.”

And me. Don’t make me lose you both.

okay I am very out of practice with writing so it’s short and probably sucks but UHHHH POST OGRE ARENA??? FEELS?? MAYBE? IDK IF I GOT THE TIMELINE RIGHT *THROWS UP HANDS*

1 & 6 for Evan, 9 & 11 for Nyth!

Evan’drien

1) What’s something your character would be embarrassed for others to find out about?

There’s a lot Evan tried to keep private, most of it to do with the horrors he committed as part of the scourge which he still feels responsible for. Probably the biggest thing he hides is his ex lover Alyssa. It was an extremely unhealthy relationship that they had, and it ended with Evan believing he was truly a heartless beast, and truly beyond redemption. He’s struggled to recover from it, but he always fears that someone will learn of it, or have an account of it from her and that it will colour their view of him.

6) Name one item that your character doesn’t use for its intended purpose.

His bed. Being undead, he doesn’t actually need to sleep at all, though still in extreme circumstances suffers from enough physical fatigue that he does so anyway, more as a placebo than anything. Usually though his bed is there for dumping his stuff on, or for Tanir to use. Of course it does get some use..

Nythendris

9) Give an example of a thought your character would be embarrassed for someone else to hear. 

Ahahah oh god, so many, pretty much her entire inner monologue but one specific example? At the moment I’d say her thoughts about her impending child. She genuinely wants it, but after so many failed attempts and disappointments she often finds herself thinking some very dark thoughts, like, perhaps she should terminate the thing before anyone finds out about it. Not only because she is pessimistic about the child surviving, but also because a pregnancy will take her out of active duty, which she loathes to think about since her crew are her life. Of course she would never, she wants a child too much, but still her mind wanders to some awful places.

11) Name a part of their body that your character is really proud of or really likes.

Her eyes. They’re probably one of the few features on her face that could be described as feminine, and they are the highly sought after amber colour, which is a good omen among Druids.

9. Are they patient with their partners?

Gonna answer for a couple of my nerds! I cant add Frankie or Xanthir here bc Xanth has never had a partner and neither has Frank UNTIL SUPER RECENTLY so just gonna do the main two

Evan’drien

Definitely. Evan probably could do with putting his foot down more, to be honest. He bends over backwards to do any and everything he can for the people he cares for, regardless of the personal cost or trouble, and he tends to forgive too easily and lets himself be walked over.

In his relationships leading up to his current one, he often found himself in abusive situations, being taken advantage of easily and having very little say in the relationship. Now however, his patience is definitely a plus since his partner has a lot of ‘baggage’ and can be really difficult to deal with, but not in the same sense as his previous partners were difficult. Tanir suffers a lot with night terrors, and his health is a bag of crap, so he needs a bit of caring for and Evan’s patience is put to the test quite often. But he’s rewarded with having a loving partner who genuinely cares about him and his needs, who’s grateful for his patience and care, rather than using it to abuse him

Nythendris

Nyth is an odd one, since she’s only had one ‘partner’ in her life and she doesn’t really have a choice but to be patient with him since he’s also her boss. By nature she’s very up front and blunt, and so she can become impatient with Khalind’s behaviour very quickly, especially the way in which he deals with the current crew. However, losing her rag with him wouldn’t get her anywhere. So whilst internally she can end up breathing seething fires of rage, she’s gotten very good at appearing calm yet firm, and deals with Khalind pretty calmly and patiently. With a bit of her trademark sarcasm thrown in now and then, naturally.

She’s been with him in a professional context for the majority of her adult life, and an intimate one for quite a long time too, so she’s very practiced at talking him around. And afterwards she goes off and breaks something to vent some frustration lmao

☂ Nyth & Tae for the ask thingy~

 ☂ picking them up

hoo boy shenanigans.

Nyth was definitely a bad influence on Taeonthrial, not as much as Anlathia mind but still, she was bad for her in other ways. Right now, the two of them had gone for what could only be described as a sisterly bonding session. Said session had however, devolved into a drinking competition that had left them both feeling no pain.

The two night elves were clasping empty bottles of Dalaran Noir in their respective hands, sat slumped into each other on a bench, singing (badly) in Darnassian at the top of their voices and generally being pests to the locals. Not that either of them cared much for the locals anyways.

“Tae, do you know, that we have run out of drink.” Nyth said in a very matter-of-fact tone, stopping her singing to eye down the neck of her empty bottle.

“Yes, I am most disappointed in this development.” Tae held up her bottle and shook the dregs in the bottom around, “We need to find more.” Before Tae could say another word, Nyth had grabbed her arm and was dragging her off down the dark street and straight to the inn, which had closed for the night.

“Shhhhh!” Nyth held a finger to her lips and grinned mischievously at Taeonthrial. The younger elf just watched in a curious drunken stupor as Nyth attempted to pick the lock, with one eye closed and the other squinting awkwardly at the keyhole. Tae danced about impatiently, ‘keeping watch’ as best someone who can see triples of everything could.

Suddenly the door clicked and swung open, caught Nythendris off guard and sent her flying flat on her face with a loud clatter and thud that would have woken the dead. For a moment they both just froze in silence, before a flurry of limbs as Nyth flailed to her feet and practically tackled Tae on her way past, throwing her over her shoulder and staggering away from the scene of the crime in howls of laughter and vaguely coherent threats of what Taeonthrial was going to do if she wasn’t put down this second.
