❝ imagine falling for astarion's charms ... couldn't be me. ❞

❝ . . . it's christmas eve. there's no way i can get a christmas cake from any of the stores around here on such short notice. unless you're gonna wait the hours in line with me, count me out. ❞

⠀⠀⠀ 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘, every detail about your outward appearance being scrutinized by miss milou. you don't think that she'd actually share her thoughts with you, until she finally says, ⠀ ❝ cute outfit you've got there. ❞ ⠀ is she being genuine, or simply mocking you? it's hard to tell.

⸺ ⠀ OPEN STARTER.

❝       relax,  i  come  in  peace,       ❞    she  says,  holding  her  hands  up  for  a  split - second  in  mock  surrender  before  settling  on  a  nearby  rock to take  in  the  view.

a  crumbling  compound  perches  on  the  jagged  hills &,  even  from  this  distance,  alara  can  see  it's  run  through  with  dark foliage,  nature  consuming  the  heart  of  what  sapient  species –   save  lae'zel's  kin –   have  long  since  abandoned.  under  the  chorus  of  crickets  &  gilded  silver  by  selûne,  it  almost  looks peaceful.  serene. 

her  hair,  on  the  other  hand,  is  not.

it  spills  over  her  shoulder,  a  riot  of  tangled red,  but  she's  armed  with  an  enamelled  gold  hairbrush  &  enough  willpower  &  patience  to  quell  it.  &,  now,   some  company  to  pass  at  least  part  of  the  time with.

❝       how  does  it  feel,  knowing  this  time  tomorrow  we  may  be  rid  of  our  little  stowaways?       ❞

oh,  she  doesn't  want  to  put  too  much  stock  into  this  solution  when  all  other  roads  have  dead-ended,  &  when  there  may  be  complications  with…  whatever  the  device  is  called,  considering  they  aren't  gith,  but  she  can't  help  the  tug  of  longing,  &  imagining  a  day  free  of  this  little  horror.

           ❛ oh  ..  i wasn't aware that i had company. ❜    she hadn't expected anyone at all within what were the ruins of a shopping mall.   if she closed her eyes, perhaps she could pretend that she were surrounded by bustling shoppers from an era past.   she flashes her light at the other, briefly illuminating them with little respect of whether she might blind them with her light.   ❛ i was hoping for a more frightening encounter, not another person.  how boring. ❜

open. modern setting, in an abandoned ( supposedly haunted ? ) shopping mall.

"It is to my understanding that the Inquisition founded itself in Haven, correct?" Her frown is more questioning than disapproving. "I find myself curious; was there anyone...else present aside from you or the Conclave that you might be aware of? Maybe a dragon?"

           ❝  it would seem i'm not the only one avoidant toward crowds.  ❞     easier was it to simply slip out unnoticed and escape, to instead seek a bit of isolation and peace.         ❝  you don't mind company, do you ?  i will not cause too much disturbance, swear.  ❞ 

open starter. mutuals only. welcome to pre established dynamics but not necessary.
