bright, relentless sun and salt soaked air – they hadn’t realized just how starved they were, and now they refuse to move. not yet, not yet. they need to sink with the sounds of the waves. “ what is your favorite thing about it ? i’m taken with how endless it seems to be. ”
sharess' caress is maybe not - so - surprisingly far from full this early in the afternoon, but there's enough of a buzz to keep things interesting --- ( the abundance of proper spirits here certainly help; but then again, anything's better than the random dust - covered bottles of gut rot they pluck from unwatched abandoned shelves on the road ). patrons and staff alike slip from one room to the next, through beaded curtains and behind swaths of silk and velvet drapes ---- their conversations carried along with them.
even if they weren't here with a purpose ( though the drink alone could be argued as a proper purpose if push came to shove ) she would've been prone to catching herself falling into old habits: eavesdropping, reading lips, faces, bodies ----- but at least it's nice to know that she's not the only one who can't seem to keep herself from paying attention to everyone and everything else around them. "you're awfully quiet over there," she gives his arm a nudge as she reaches for the half - full bottle set in front of them.
❝ i'm taking notes. making observations.❞
"i hope you're planning on sharing those notes afterwards," she says with a hum against the rim of her glass, taking a sip while she splits her attention between zahav's efforts and the lively conversation between the two tieflings to their collective left. "i'll trade you the little homewrecking scandal two tables over. i'm way too invested at this point."
"Would you ever want kids?" He springs the question quickly with a faux cough. As though shy about about such a topic. Zahav side eyed his husband after a moment.
unprompted? unprompted. lynaeh is a newly established village on a relatively open province bordering another desert country. while there are still plenty of trees and hills it bore fruit and vegetables and game in the mountains .. it marked a new beginning for generations to come. potentially anyway. with the passing of their elder warden, another has taken their place. and while his commanding officer has requested his presence, ren has always been uncomfortable mourning with others. the elder varrenth he would pray for her soul to yenariel. did she have any children? the warden doesn't recall.
tongue savours the spiced curry on his tongue .. the flavours blending in with something a tad sweet. a berry? a spice tangent .. he dips the spoon casually, ready to take another bite ..
it's like the back of his neck stiffens and ren blinks, unsure if he heard was .. actually he heard.
' uh- ' damn, i can't even think. ' i mean i .. i didn't think .. i haven't thought about it until .. now? why? do you want a baby? " while there is a shine of hope there is also a hint of mischievous that slowly bleeds back with the resume slurp of soup...
Send 🍑 🎲 (peach dice) and my muse will roll a d20 to do one of several options ☼
4. Share a kink
Well, it was hardly the worst thing the dice could have landed on. Vigor feels comfortable sharing with Zahav as part of the game, though he veers on the tamer side with his answer and chooses his words carefully. ❝Is it weird to not always get undressed first? I mean, it's a little exciting to just skip that step,❞ he says, lowering his voice at the end.
[skin]: obviously colour, but also if they're inclined to run hot or cold, do they have any blemishes or unusual markings, are they inclined to blush, are they freckled, do they tan, what does their skin feel like, etc.
PHYSICAL FEATURES . ACCEPTING . @sunsseer
Laika has medium olive skin. She's utterly freckled, though the intensity of those freckles varies with how much sun she gets. Laika doesn't blush much, and due to her skin tone, it doesn't show up as red, more just darkens her skin. It's more likely for her bashfulness or embarrassment to be shown through her expression ( especially moving her ears or hiding her face. ).
As for blemishes and how her skin feels: It's soft in places, but marked by callouses on her hands and her feet. Her scars are numerous - expected of someone who fights a lot and often has to defend people from blows. Most notable are the scars on her hands ( including burn scars ) and the parallel scars on the right side of her neck.
Both luckily and unluckily for Laika, she runs fairly cold. Tevinter is a warm climate, so at home, she feels fairly comfortable. Abroad? Oh, she throws a fit at how cold it can get. Not a fan!
A hint of barely contained annoyance pinches the space between his brows; an irritable expression taking over the drow's otherwise stoic features.
He looks at Zahav with pure, blind skepticism in his eyes, skimming the elf from head to toe.
"And you're what? The wise guardian of the chests now?"
It's clear he hates being told what to do, or—at least, hates being told what to do by him. Or anyone other than his matron, really. "How was I supposed to know it was a mimic? It's not like it comes with a warning," He quickly elects to dismiss the idea the sun touched elf was right, because... Well, you know—he doesn't want to admit they're right.
Instead, he slides the golden ring down his finger, and stretches his hand above his head to admire how prettily it glitters against the meager sunlight breaking through the crack in the ceiling. "Besides... It was worth it," He spares the other an amused smile. "Look how pretty I look."
eyes — do they like to be watched while they're having sex? do they like to watch others having sex?
depends, but highly unlikely. laika certainly doesn't lack confidence, but it's more like - there's not many people in the world she'd want to watch her have sex. if there were someone she liked enough to agree, laika would much rather just involve that person. why watch when you can touch? the same applies in reverse — why should she only watch? i think this would be more flexible in an actual, polyamorous relationship, but in a hook up situation or monogamous relationship? it does little for her.
hair — do they shave or wax? do they let their hair grow out?
well, we know that laika keeps the hair on her head quite long, but as for the rest of her... listen, okay, canon would like you to think that elves do not have body hair, and i say that canon is a big fat liar. laika does have body hair, but she does also tend to keep it neat and tidy - that is, trimming her bush / underarms, though likely not shaving all the way down.
queen — are they a size queen? do they prefer length, girth, or both? do they like textures?
laika is a size.... moderate? she's not the type to absolutely require her partner be large for her to take pleasure. both girth and length have their place. so long as a partner knows what they're doing, that's what matters. you can have a big dick and still be bad at sex - she's met plenty of those. technique > size, basically.
and, frankly, once you get on the extreme end? there is only so much that this elf can go around. or, as put in the immortal words of sa.brina carp.enter, “ that won't fit inside me, bro, i'm dumb small ”
