There is this one fic called “Out of Breath Standing Next To You” by @imustspeakmyheart on ao3 in which Rilla and Arum bake some goods together. And it was so lovely it inspired me to draw a fanart of it. Like honestly, it was so sweet and warm i actually forgot the setting of the fic was “a rainy day” and made it all sunny here.

[ID: two digital paintings of lord Arum, Rilla and Damien from Second Citadel of The Penumbra Podcast in warm yellow and orange and brown tones. The first picture depicts Lord Arum and Rilla from behind as they both bake and playfully push each other around. Rilla holds a bowl in right arm and a spatule in left hand and focuses it's end on Arum's face just like she'd want to attack him with it. They are both smiling, Rilla with a big grin on her face. The background is the kitchen in Rilla's hut with jars and plants on the shelves, and with a view on the garden, barely visible in the bright light of the day. The second picture depicts Damien standing and leaning on the frame of a wooden doorway. He crosses his arms and smiles with love in his eyes and a wide smile. Next to him are shelves with jars and packages, and behind him there is another room covered with bright yellow light. End ID]

A Moment of Rest

Queen Mira really needs to give herself a break

click for better quality!

This is the other piece I did for Audire back in November, which I ALSO forgot to post. Whoops.

I drew Queen Mira from the Second Citadel. She canonically wears a headscarf, so I did some research and decided to base my design of her on a portrait of the 12th century Persian poet Mahsati Ganjavi. Mira’s pose and the overall composition is based on the 1915 Waterhouse painting “I Am Half-Sick of Shadows, Said the Lady of Shalott.”

Ok but can we talk about Damien and Rilla experiencing Arum shedding his skin for the first time?

Arum probably thinks of it as normal and just sort of a nuisance. He just sort of continues on grumpily, trying not to pick at it, and slides out of it when he’s ready. He probably knows humans don’t shed, but doesn’t realize that Rilla and Damien might not know that he does.

Arum doesn’t really think much of the fact that his scales start looking a lot paler and more sickly and he starts pulling away from their touch. Rilla and Damien probably don’t have a ton of experience with lizards and they start to worry about him. He’s acting like everything is normal otherwise, but he looks so sick. Rilla starts trying to figure out which plants might help Arum get better and Damien starts talking to him about admitting his own weakness, but is too much to flowery and abstract for Arum to really think much of it.

And then one morning they wake up and Arum isn’t there. Damien wakes Rilla up (he always wakes up first) freaking out, and then Rilla freaks out and yells at the Keep, asking where Arum is. The Keep doesn’t understand why they’re so worried, but gets him anyway because Rilla seems scared. There are a series of shouts and hisses and they hear the Keep’s song and the sound of growing vines getting louder.

So there’s Arum, naked as the day he was born, grumpily being pushed through the door looking totally normal, if not a little shinier than usual, rubbing coconut oil around his eyes to help with the skin that’s stuck there and the two of them are just so confused. But he looks so beautiful. His scales are gleaming with the oil and he’s grumpy and confused, but the way that the sun is hitting his frills that are popped because he’s surprised just leaves Rilla and Damien speechless and they stare at him for a moment while he’s asking them what on earth was so pressing that the Keep had to physically drag him from the bathroom.

Finally, once the awe wears off, Damien asks what happened, and Arum realizes what’s going on and starts laughing. He explains that he was shedding, and Damien looks like he’s going to throw up. Rilla is looking at his nails trying to figure out how it works, and asks to see the skin. Arum looks a little confused and tells her he ate it like he was supposed to. Damien goes white and starts praying and Arum has to steady him with two of his arms while Rilla continues to pepper him with questions.
