&&. Writer's Note.

I'd be messaging everyone if I wasn't so anxious about it, I always feel like people will look at me weird if I do so or they'll just not reply and crush my heart ;n;

A devil knew. A devil knew when they were being watched, but Raphael did not mind a little mouse that hid in the shadows. In fact, he encouraged them at times, and quite often Raphael would leave a skrying eye on him, just to give the illusion that they had some sort of power, until he would snuff it out completely.

Every little thing that the Archdevil's son did was meticulously thought out. Painstakingly, some might have even said, as he laid his scripts and acts out upon a table until they were performed on a stage.

Clients would drift in and out at their appointed times from within the Devil's Den. Each time the door opened, the scent of cherries and pepper would waft outside, as if an invitation for others to want more. So who was observing who in this little game of cat and mouse? Well, that could be debated, but eventually, Raphael decided he would make his move.

It was in the evening, the streets of Baldur's Gate lit with dim lanterns. Alas, in a brothel, the night life was when it became lively as patrons danced and drank, and shared each others beds. The perfect time for a devil to go on the prowl.

Raphael had not been inside, he'd been in the darkness of the shadows, bright yellow eyes turned to soft brown ones within the company of mortals. But there was still something sharp within them.

"Tell me, dear, is it the cool air that brings you to this floor of Sharess' so often, or is it the breathtaking view before you?" Was Raphael talking about being on the second floor? Or was he speaking about himself? It was definitely about himself.

THREAD   ✦   @dvilsdesire Status:  Private  &&.  Eirlys + Raphael

A direct approach was always a risky decision, one she didn't often make unless her gut feeling told her to. This was one of those times, a rare time in which something told her it was okay to approach said person-- the one she even suspected may have relations to Lolth. Quite the dangerous sentiment. One that could lead her to further danger. But there was just something she couldn't put her finger on, something about him. An certain allure, not linked to his appearance or even their current location.. no, it was something different almost otherworldly.

His voice echoed, her body shivered. She naturally turned to face him, her demeanor gentle but somewhat firm and confident. She rarely truly felt intimidated. What was intimidation when true horror chased her day in and out. It meant nothing. Her body relaxed and her shoulders lowered.

'You might be right.' She agreed, a quick glance was shot towards the starry nightsky. 'It is quite beautiful up here isn't it? Away from all that chatter.' She thought out loud. Oh the dull and empty conversations she had to endure. Those uninteresting drunk patrons, practically pelting her with the same few compliments. Likely sincere, but they meant nothing to her anymore. 'It's a nice break from the chaos. Not to mention my room is right around the corner.' she explained. 'Should I ask the same?'

A somewhat new occupant to one of the rooms at Sharess' Caress. Now taken by a man, one she'd seen a few times. Perhaps they even met eyes. She'd walked past his room once or twice. She quickly realized his presence could be felt even outside the room. There was something about him that she hadn't yet been able to pinpoint. But she'd walked the shadows long enough to know when something was off. There was even a hint of worry, perhaps an underling of Lolths. One could never truly be sure.

It was like she'd been pulled to his room again. Leaning against the wooden guard rail of the balcony just outside the den. Not entering but merely taking in the atmosphere. Was she hoping to see him? She couldn't quite tell yet.

This particular day had not been awful, though as of late admittedly most were not. However tiring wasn't a word she couldn't use to describe her day. While she was good at her job, keeping up with the facade could occasionally get tiring. Frankly, her entire life felt like she was waking up every day choosing to wear a heavy mask. A choice she willingly made, and a choice she had to make. But every so often, she could feel it crackle and breaking down. In moments like those, she'd found herself visiting the nearby Tavern. Fighting off drunken men seemed much less exhausting than not having a drink to end her day with. Which said a lot about the weight she carried on her shoulders, day in and day out.

'The usual.' She spoke, her voice drained but almost laced with a sense of relief and cheer. She recognized the female behind the bar, the one who would often serve her and even keep her company without the pressure of forcing her into conversation. Exactly what she needed.

He could sense it.. It was an uneasy feeling, almost painful. He made small steps, bare feet sinking into the muddy grass as he tried to follow the feeling. Empathy welling up inside him, he could sense that whatever it was.. it was scared and in pain. Moments like these, ones in which someone or something seemed in dire need for help, he wished his eyes still worked. He focused on the sound, trying to catch hints of where the animal could be, following the little pained chirps. 'Where are you..?' he asked out loud. With his focus so strictly on finding the wounded animal, he'd completely become unaware of the third party standing nearby, watching him.

Hidden Injuries

"Wait - you're bleeding."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Okay, I have you, I have you -"

"Don't you dare pass out on me."

"You good? You look a little pale."

"Your shirt... is that blood?"

"Oh, my god, are you serious? I think it's broken!"

"Why would you hide this from us?!"

"Okay - okay, breathe. We're going to help you."

"You idiot! You could have died!"

"I'm - I'm calling an ambulance -"

"Why are you breathing so shallowly?"

"You can barely stand."

"Sit down. Right now."

"I'm going to fix you up, but you have to sit still."

"I've had worse."

"It's not that bad, really..."

"I'm just a little... light headed...."

"It's barely bleeding at all."

"Aw, man, I liked this shirt."

"Oh, yeah that's... huh. That's a lot of blood."

"I'm just gonna sit right here... for a minute..."

"My chest really... hurts..."

"I can't really breathe -"

"Ow. It's fine. Ow."

"I can handle it myself."

"Oh, that? Yeah it's just... it's just a little blood..."

"Barely touched me."

"Why are there two of you?"

"I'll be fine. I'm great. I'm - I'm fantastic. Don't worry about me! I'm just gonna go... into this really nice... warm light..."

It had been a while since a proper performance was held at Sharess' Caress. Music was always a nice addition and a way to increase the mood within the brothel. Fairly quickly it'd motivated everyone up on their feed, some dancing with her fellow courtesans while others just enjoyed the performance. It was quite wholesome in a way. While the world moved around her, she remained seated in her chair simply watching the performing male.

Her hand resting in her palm, elbow on the wooden table. And just like that time went by so quickly. The performance ended, perhaps for him to take a break or maybe it was the end of his working day. Applause filled the room and so she joined in with gentle claps. She followed him with her gaze as he left the stage and before he could disappear out of sight she waved him over with a hand. Holding out a drink as an offer. 'That was quite good.'

It was a day in which darkness seemed to cling onto her a little tighter than usual. The gloomy aura radiating off of her for no particular reason. Perhaps a few things hadn't gone her way but none would explain just the sheer amount of dread she felt that day. Those little reminders of her faith lying around the corner. She wouldn't be able to escape forever and she knew that. There had to be something, something to convince Lolth to change her mind. But what was it, that Eirlys could offer her other than herself as a blood sacrifice-- but well, that'd defeat the purpose of becoming free again.

She sat in the grass, dress draped around her hips. Fingers brushing through the glass blades, eventually tugging a few out of the earth. Unbeknownst to her, clouds had started forming in the air around her. A manifestation of her mood perhaps. Before she knew, rain would fall.. at first sparingly and eventually becoming a full on rainfall. She remained unmoved however. The cold rain against her skin being a nice reminder of her still being alive in this moment. Soon enough she became drenched, water leaving puddles around the uneven grass.

As of late Eirlys had witnessed a change in demeaner when it came to some of the Sharess' Caress patrons. Initially subtle, the more she laid her eyes upon the men the more she began to realize there were most certainly ulterior motives to their more frequent visits. It wasn't until her research masked by an innocent conversation revealed a stitched logo to the inside of one's jacket that she began to connect the dots. Bhaal. Now all there was left to do was for her to figure out what they wanted or more importantly who their target was. She couldn't help but feel like danger was closer to her than she suspected, especially given these recent wispers of storm magic blood being needed for a specific ritual.. and well.. she was likely the only storm sorcerer there.

She'd never come in contact with him herself, but there were rumours. Whispers spreading around about his landing in Wyrm's Crossing. Perhaps a casual visit or maybe with purpose. Those at Sharess' Caress would gossip about his appearance, his aura and the potential business he had in the area. But no one actually knew. Eirlys never quite minded the baseless whispers, not about anything.. however this time it may have been a little different. She'd heard of the deals, the pacts.. the contracts. And well, she had something of her own she needed taken care of. Now mind you- a deal with the devil is never the ideal but when a situation is so dire and left with no better option, it feels like it could be her saving grace. What does she have to offer? She's unsure, yet. That'll be something for her to figure out were the time to ever come for her to meet him.

She leaned over the hallway's balcony of the second floor, just outside her usual room. Fingers tapping against the wooden beams, looking down upon the yard beneath her. The setting sun indicating the near end of her day, a draining one at that. Things felt off, like something or someone was lurking around the corner. Watching her every move. A feeling she often felt, for different reasons. She could quite put her finger on it this time.
