#sun v

@the-eternal-sunflower because of our chat

She loved to watch Sun fight. Her movements were expertly smooth and steady, fierce lines being cut through defenses and gods, she was beautiful. Hair pulled back, sweat on her brow, expression determined with teeth bared...

As soon as Sun tripped her opponent in the ring and held them at sword point, Myrna was cheering for her, clapping and hooting, "That's my girl!"

It was unbecoming of her to act so foolishly in public like this, but damnit, that was her girlfriend and she wanted to praise her efforts and celebrate her victories. To the void with acting proper like an Inquisitor should.

@the-eternal-sunflower asked: It had started innocently enough. Just her and Myrna enjoying each other's presence in Myrna's room as they sat together, reading their books. Then Sun kissed her. And kissed her. And kissed her again. Soon, Sun found herself in Myrna's lap, her hands cupping Myrna's face and her forehead pressed against hers. Their breath mixing as Sun's lips lingered right above hers. "Tell me to stop, and I will."

Heat of the Moment

Myrna was flipping through an old book on wards when Sun lips found her cheek, and then her own. Her lips twitched towards an amused smirk, never one to turn down Sun's affection. There was something so sweet about having the pleasure to bask in her presence, and the feel of her in Myrna's arms.

She wrapped her arms around Sun's middle when she crawled into her lap, her book and journal falling off the arm of the couch and onto the floor with soft thuds.

In response to the offer to stop, Myrna tipped her face up to kiss her again. She would not be telling Sun to stop, thank you very much.

And after a few minutes of enjoying the taste of Sun's lips on hers, she slid her hands under Sun's thighs to pick her up and cart her over to the bed. She was gentle when she set her down.

@the-eternal-sunflower asked: "I'm disappointed in me too. Y'all aren't special."

Comedic Relief Starters

Was Sun kidding or serious?

Jalon offered her usual soft and serene smile. "Self-deprecating humor is...unhealthy at best."

A pause as she mulled over her next words, and then, "I apologize for my rudeness before."

She didn't mean to bring down the mood, and her words of disappointment were on impulse and meant to be a half-hearted joke, more like a mother fondly chastising a youngling.

The small Leshy smiled sheepishly and turned to give her better access to his head. It stung a little, but he didn't think he was concussed. No nausea, dizziness, or exhaustion...just a tiny ache at where he was scraped and thin, green fluid oozing out like blood.

"We're more prone to fungal infections than bacterial," he murmured. Other than that, he wouldn't argue against the help.

Vi'tal's hands fidgeted with the tin whistle hanging from his neck as he waited for her to tend to the injury. "I was in the ruins nearby and triggered a trap. Rather than the log hitting my body, it, well..."

He was tiny, and the log scraped the top of his head rather than hit his body like it would have if he were the height of most humanoids... Some of his moss hair was ripped out but it would grow back fairly quickly; he'd just part the stringy locks differently to hide the missing patch.

@the-eternal-sunflower liked for a short starter

"Bears!" Myrna grabbed Sun's hand, not waiting on her to process Myrna's warning before the woman was running and dragging Sun behind her. Get the fuck away before the bears decided that they looked like a good meal or scratching post.

She was laughing about it though, a mix of terror and amusement at the predicament getting to her. Leave it to the Hinterlands to always put out its best.

@the-eternal-sunflower asked: sender kisses receiver's forehead - to Cole. Baby boy needs to be cherished platonically

It was unexpected. He was just sitting with her and chatting about the animals that he had adopted, but then she was leaning over and kissing his forehead.

He smiled a little awkwardly. "I um...thank you?"

Cole had zero idea what it was for, but her emotions told him it was meant to be a kind gesture between friends, maybe? Or family? He struggled to tell the difference.

@the-eternal-sunflower asked: Sun to Myrna [A17]  [S]  tends  to  [R]’s  cut  lip,  thumb  brushing  over  it  just  slowly  enough  to  be  intentional.

Suggestive Prompts

The fight was brutal, but at least it was over.

Myrna had been punched at one point, the enemy having been disarmed and desperate. At the time, she reeled and stumbled back, struggling to get her wits about her a second. Sun had saved her ass and Myrna was forever grateful to the woman for her help.

She felt so much safer with her around, both in fights and out.

There was an easiness between them in their companionship, one where Myrna knew that they could be in sync enough that they could dance around each other in a fight or in a kitchen. They'd never touch in their blur of motion.

After the fight, Sun made sure that Myrna was fine, and it went both ways. Myrna was quick to place a hand over Sun's arm and heal a spot where she was bleeding, working on impulse.

The thumb at her lip gave her pause, breath catching at the tender touch. She stared down at Sun, face turning red in embarrassment. She would argue that it was from exertion, not being flustered, damnit.

It would be a lie.

"I um...are you okay?" she murmured. It stung, having a finger brushing her busted lip, but Myrna found herself leaning into it anyway.

@the-eternal-sunflower asked: 🩸 for Myrna

From this meme

The fight was awful, but at least it was over and done with. Now back in her tent, she was sitting there with her head in her hands, exhausted. Everyone she loved dearly was alive, she knew that much, so that was a small blessing.

For now, all she could do was try to catch her breath and wash the blood off.

Noise at the entrance of her tent stopped her when she had stepped up to the basin to start washing herself off. Sun was there, beautiful as ever, and absolutely a walking disaster in the amount of blood she wore.

"You look rough," she teased, although she was thankful the woman seemed unharmed.
