⚡️- will you ever learn to stop being a sheep or do you enjoy being a bootlicker for the brotherhood?

"So you're a Fellowship, yeah? Always all bloody bark and no bite with you lot."

"The Brotherhood is my family, my flock in this instance. Its not always sunshine and rainbows but I'm not going anywhere. I know where my loyalties lie. Besides, if you want to see a real Brotherhood cheerleader, go find Nico. He's actually out hunting and not wasting his breath talking shit."

⚡️ what was the first species you killed? how old were you? do you ever think about it?

"Wolf. Sixteen."

"I was staying at a family friend's place for Brotherhood training, this little quaint farm outside London. The first time I've been out of the country, or Port Leiry really. They had five sons under the same roof. Most of them were real pricks but the youngest was alright. Around my age then. Had kind eyes. Loved Radiohead."

"Then the poor kid got bit. He was trying to keep the livestock safe but had to chase after a little lamb. Wolves got to it, then him. The family was beside themselves and kept him chained in the back shed. They put me on warden duty while they argued on what to do for the next month. I watched him, brought him food, tried to be a good friend."

"Full moon eventually came around. I stood outside that shed with a rifle, listened to him scream as his bones snapped and muscles twisted. Started crying, begging for death by the second hour. Someone had to stop the pain..."

"...It's best not to dwell on hunts like that for too long."

⚡️are you in love?

"...I don't know."

"Genuinely. I don't know. I'm not good at this."

[cutthroat-service]

⚡️what does love mean to you?

What the fuck- "That's a really loaded question, mate. Fuck off with that."

["Love, like all other things, can be a hunt. Whether it is akin to hunting as in collaboration, harmony, or akin to hunting given the thrill, the chase, is all a matter of dynamics. To truly love someone is to experience both, moments of adrenaline and quiet tenderness through highs and lows. At this point, love is the one hunt I'll never get right."]

⚡️FMK Thera Finlay Reid

". . ."

"Fuck Finlay. Marry Thera. Give Reid a hunter's honorable death by combat. Reid knows what I'm talking about; he'd probably appreciate it more than fucking, to be honest."

⚡️Would you fuck the wolf you bit at the gala

"..." "....." "...Wolf? At the gala? I-"

"Wait. That's right. The bouncer. That wolf. Yes, I recall now."

"Sorry. Um, sure. Yeah, I'd be down for a round two. But, if I'm remembering correctly, he's a little scared of being bit. That might be a problem-- Actually. Maybe its better to just leave him be, hm?"

⚡️and do you trust irene and thera? they can turn against you anytime?

"If this question is in relation to my distrust of Nico, let me establish that my trust is placed based on personhood. I don't trust Nico because he ,as a person, is volatile. As people, Irene and Thera are of sound mind and aren't easily swayed to do evil. Witch or nay, of course I trust them."

"If they turned on me, I know it'd be for a stronger reason than they just felt like it. It better be. Or so help me."

⚡️ do you trust nico?

"..." Shiv sighs, "I trust Nico as much as I trust my pistol. Sometimes I need a gun; I trust its ability when I aim and shoot. Most of the time I don't; I keep it close but sheathed."

"That boy is a good killer, less so a good hunter. Lacks restraint. Holds no respect or dignity whatsoever. But he's young. The hunt will teach him its lesson or it will kill him. Either way, he will learn."
