He’s going to be so upset that I’ve said that. Mierda, I love it when he’s angry…

#nsfw If I must choose only a few, Bratting. Teasing. Seduction. Not to mention, my mouth has yet to receive a single complaint… Enough to bring a certain Talon to his knees.

You were a weapon. | I was a child.

I remember the last time you jailed my cousin. It didn’t work out so well for you, as I recall.

… I’m working on trusting people. Er, working on working on it, more accurately, but that’s a start, no?

*[makes a mug, becomes ball, and rolls to Cole]* <HAT FRIEND! IT’S SO PRETTY OUTSIDE!>

I do so love a plot! I offer my aid. <ENVY TOO! WANT TO HELP!>

And not the charming sort, like Lucanis.

… You do know about Lucanis, right?

In my defense, elfroot makes me hungry…

I can extol the many benefits of consuming Warden protein.

I will continue living.

*[opens a wardens missive - reads about darkspawn fights, finding community among criminals - and starts to pen a reply]* I’m glad to hear you’re doing well, father…

Copy and paste the bunny and then put something else in his hand (\_/) (°-°) />🍓<

After reading one of Lucanis’s novels, I think Antiva needs a hockey team. Multiple even, one for each city. Cousin, if you’re reading this, this copy is mine now. I will buy you another, but I have important research to conduct. Very important research…

<ENVY! WILL CHASE THEM AWAY! LEAVE GRIFÓN ALONE!>

*[rips out every page, tossing it into the Rialto Bay]*

I won't live life in the rain, waiting on the sky to change.

*[is levitating in the Villa gardens]*

Well, that makes sense. … Why do I feel like I’m missing something?

I am worth the mess I make.

Never again.

I craved death, but the one man who should’ve granted it still chose to see good in me. I owe him the rest of my life.

If anyone hears of the brothel fire, in Antiva City… Well, I sure they had a reason. Besides, all the workers made it out. All of them that mattered, anyway.

<WILL! ALWAYS! HATE! RED LADY! FOR TAKING ENVY! FROM THE FADE!> <BUT! GLAD TO BE HERE! MADE FRIENDS! HAVE TOYS! EAT YUMMY FOODS!> <ENVY LOVES! ALL MY FRIENDS! THANK YOU! FOR BEING SO KIND! TO ENVY!> <FRIENDS? FOREVER?>

*[that touches his heart - to have someone trust him after… everything. He squeezes their hand back, just slightly, as he smiles to himself, taking a breath push back tears]* That means more than I can say, Ves. Thank you. *[his eyes flash green at the sentiment]*

<ENVY! HOPES! EVERYONE HAD! A GOOD SATINALIA! AND GOT! LOTS OF PRESENTS! AND! DON’T FORGET! ENVY LOVES YOU!>

*[the mention of the war makes regret flash in his eyes, but it fades into a mischievous gleam]* Ah, of course. That would make sense. Well, if you trust me, I can show you the highest point in Treviso. The Chantry. *[Takes their hand, an easy smile on his face, and leads them]*

*[brows furrow in concern, before hugging him close, sniffling and blinking away tears]*

@alistairthecheesy.bsky.social The book’s lying again, right? … right?

Ah! Well, my best advice is to not look down. You learn that quickly, with the various ziplines around Treviso. Or the rooftops around Treviso. … Is every Antivan city built for Crow training? *[laughs at that]* I’m so glad my cousin found someone who adores him. Now, follow me. Churros await!

If you ride one, you have to let me know! I’ll need every detail. I- Are you afraid of heights? How secure are the seats on those things? You are too kind, Ves. It’s you who I’m glad to see here. Speaking of, should we head to the café? It’s been far too long since we have.

Ah, griffins! Now, is it true that Wardens used to ride them into battle? That sounds so… heroic. Picture this, riding a griffin into the heat of battle, sword at the ready as you slice into a dark spawn! And you always have an open invitation to Treviso. I’ve heard how much the Wardens ask.

<NO! NOT HOT MESSES! PRESENTS! FOR FRIENDS! SNACKS! TOYS! COOL THINGS! ENVY SEES!>

The last person who promised me such things is now dead, by my hand.

Oh? Is there anything I could assist you with? I’m no Warden, but two heads work better than one, no? After the past few years… I will happily take a slow life. I don’t know about you, but I am tired. Focusing on my hobbies is all the excitement I need.

I’ve missed you, too! And I’m glad to hear you are well. Though, I hope being a fearless hero hasn’t been too much work. As for me, I’m afraid that I’ve precious little to regale you with. Though, truth be told, I can’t complain. It’s been nice.

Vesper? Is that you? Mierda, it’s been ages! How are you?

// I’m so glad I decided to start this a year ago. I remember thinking everyone was going to hate Illario, but I’ve actually made friends through writing him. + While he may not be strictly canon compliant, I wouldn’t trade my Illario for anything. Here’s to another year with my cancelled wife <3

… Does this count as another birthday?

// can’t believe it’s been a year <3 bigger post later, but yeah A whole year of Rio

I think once was enough, don’t you?

I know you’re jealous, little book, but he’s mine.

Venatori. The further away I am from you all, the better.

Ah, you’re back. /Fantastic/

She was dreadful. Though the kill truly belonged to Lucanis, and Spite, I’ve never felt more satisfied. May she rot, and all the other Venatori with her.

Is that so…

If I were interested in women, then I’d be interested in her.

<GRIFÓN! IS THAT YOU? A PICKLED EGG! AGAIN?>

Wonderful! I await your arrival. Ma serannas, Davrien.
