first thing that came to shade was eerie. but she means it in the "wow I respect you" way, not the "you're creepy" way. also for some reason I can see her calling her something like "long ago iago" in a kind of sing-songy way ? like considering her accent I think it would work (I imagine her having trouble saying Iagos name tbh, more like "aaago" or "yago") so it would be almost like "long ago, ago" idk but it came to mind. also I can see her referring to Iago as "tongue" if she refers to Puck as "teeth", as in "sharp tongue" and "sharp teeth" bcuz she is kinda unnerved about Pucks teeth situation (going to Iago like... does he really have teeth in the back of his throat ???) and Iago seems like the more sharp witted (no offense Puck !!) of the two

long ago iago is so cute WTF!!! oh i think they'd like that, too.... and being called eerie. they kinda like how eerie and odd they are, or at least they like when that's ACKNOWLEDGED with curiosity rather than judgement (it's how they often look at the world, so it's nice to be on the other end of that). and being nicknamed after their sharp tongue is Very befitting! The sharp brothers........

Also Iago would say that Puck has teeth in the back of his throat. He doesn't, but they'd tell her that because it's funny.

neyvin holds out the bowl of soup towards shade. it's a thick stew, mostly root vegetables that wouldn't go bad and some lentils. "you saved philip's life today, undoubtedly." they murmur, sitting beside the other once he is sure they have accepted the offering of food. "and for that, thank you." he said, "not just from me, but the others as well." neyvin gives a warm smile.

"they're a little frightened, but they will come around. it's been...hard." he said, looking back towards the inn. "apologies if it is not the finest stew, we'll need to get more supplies soon, once we can figure out where."

@shdwtouch -> liked for a starter from neyvin!

" Tell me, the Harpers, you must have heard more from them than I have so far, are they telling the TRUTH? They cannot reach Moonrise because of the curse? " It was easy to get misled by pride, to assume the Harpers had simply not found the right way, that they were missing something obvious, so Wren was going to make damn sure she had every bit of information on Moonrise before even attempting to reach it. It seemed Shade was the perfect object to study for such information. " What have YOU heard from Moonrise so far? Tell me everything. "

Anika is going to manifest her patron to increase his size and climb on his back to try and find a safe spot. This was a mistake.

“ i couldn’t help it, ” they begin. “ i let it get in. ” was it wrong? if they kept it out, they might have given themself to the shadows. “ the helpless optimism of spring. . . given the circumstances, i think we could all use its touch. ”

"Do... you know how this happened...?" Tsukiya would ask, keeping close to Shade as they walked down the path through the shadowlands.

Due to their... interesting situation, they didn't appear to be affected by the shadow curse. Or maybe they were, and just kept their wits intact at least. They weren't sure, they weren't sure they wanted to know either. That was becoming an all too common theme with them. Everything was so different, so wrong. They barely remembered their past before their death, but this... it wasn't this.

despite growing up in the underdark as she had, and despite the fact the sun still hurt her eyes (though since the tadpole it hurt them far less) fel did not like the dark. or, she did not like the kind of dark that the shadow-cursed lands wrought. the whole place made her feel increasingly nervous - the fact the whole of this tadpole issue seemed to be coalescing at moonrise made the drow anxious.

yet, their newest party member had brought a comfort to that anxiety. shade was incredibly skilled at navigating these lands and seemed entirely unafraid of the curse. several others had gone out to deal with the thorm children, including their ever diligent leader. picking herself up off the seat at her space in camp, and carrying her embroidery with her, she sits down near shade's tent.

she says nothing for a long moment, before offering the square of black fabric towards her. it's little more than a handkerchief, but there are 3 moths embroidered at the corner, and a curling vine-like border around the rest, the white thread standing out vividly on the dark fabric background. "it's a thank you, for the help you've been here so far." she explains, softly.
