I'm not sure I entirely agree with this... but I could absolutely go for a croissant right now.

((It me 🙂))

Really? I thought you'd changed your ways. That article was almost... nice. *sighs* I really should've known better.

5 favs, 5... tags? What does that mean? Food: Fried goat's cheese with honey. Trust me, it's good. Season: Spring. Drink: Coffee - black, with brown sugar. Color: Also purple! Anime: Did you misspell animal, Tavin?

*Can't sleep. Can't work. Can't tell.* He sits on the edge of the roof, beneath the stars, legs dangling a hundred feet from the street below. He'll be alright soon. He just needs a minute. He'll be fine.

...Okay, I'll admit it. It's cute.

Great. Don't rush back.

I'm not promising anything. Show us some cute animals and then we'll see.

Balance is good, I guess. Don't suppose you'd apply that to your... creations? Maybe make something cute to make up for all the abominations you've inflicted on the world?

Huh. You do surprise me. I'd have thought you'd take "creepy" as a compliment.

...Creepy. I almost preferred when you were just threatening me.

*grimaces* That's something I won't be able to unsee anytime soon.

Really? Original. *folds arms* Go ahead. I'll wait.

...I should have expected nothing less.

You know, it's okay to admit you were outmatched last time.

For once, I agree with you. You won't get a third attempt.

*grins* That's me. I look forward to seeing you try. ...Again.

My heart bleeds for you. Can't wait to see what abomination you provide for this week's target practice.

Miraculous? I'd call it monstrous.

All is just fine the way it is, thanks. Nothing you did before made the world better, and it'll be no different this time. Or are you so desperate to lose another archdemon?

Well. That can't be good.

You've been busy, Bel. *grins*

I'm not sure if this is better or worse than those awful pictures you threatened me with before. ...I suppose I should be glad you didn't give me horns and a tail.

He sips his coffee, elbow propped carelessly on the table and a plate of magdalenas beside him. Today's a good day for people-watching: yet another new face. *She's been looking at that for a while. A letter?* At her grimace, he frowns, then quickly looks away to avoid being caught staring. #darp

Maybe you should stop, then.

*blinks several times* ...You all saw that too, right? Please tell me you saw that too.

*steps out onto his balcony to water the plants, smiling at how much the little vine has grown in such a short time, then hops up onto the railing to watch the sunrise* What a beautiful morning.

*looks suspiciously into the jar of brown sugar before adding some to his coffee*

We match, Cole. *smiles*

*eyes drawn by a patch of wildflowers, he pauses and picks a handful to bring home, smile sad and eyes faraway as he continues on his walk* ((photo taken by me in Wales this morning 💠📸))

If I've learnt anything about Fereldans, it's that you probably shouldn't underestimate them. Flying dogs do sound cute, though.

*laughs* I don't know if he'll listen to me, but I can try. Though I seem to remember you giving as good as you get, hmm? @rhysderiva.bsky.social Our mutual friend has a request of you, love. *grins, shaking his head* Honestly, you two are like children. ngl.link/elionderiva

Has it really been that long? I guess I have been pretty busy... But I'm doing well, thank you. And I hope you are too. *smiles* ngl.link/elionderiva

*smiles warmly* I am, thank you both! I hope you are as well? What have you been up to? ngl.link/elionderiva

*rolls his eyes with a smile and scribbles a note at the bottom of today's 'to-do' list*

😘

Hmm. If you say so. *shrugs*

*picks up his coffee and takes a sip as he watches the sun peek over the horizon* Hm. Another year older. *smiles softly* This one will be better.

We listen and we don't judge. The face I'm listening with:

Fine. If I fill in your stupid form, will you leave me alone? *takes the pen and paper from the candlehop, if only to stop it jumping up and down on his workbench*

*lays seven throwing knives out on a table and begins sharpening them, one at a time*

The sun rises, casting a golden glow through the window onto a worktable strewn with herbs and empty vials. A half-full beaker steams over a burner not long snuffed out. With a sigh, Elion gets up from the table and trudges to the window, climbing out to the roof to watch the sunrise. #DArp #open

Never seen a sending-stone quite like this before. Dwarven, maybe?

Recalling the slightly unnerving descriptions they'd already seen on the menu, Elion's smile is a little nervous as he looks over to the arrayed tables, then back to Rhys. "Want to risk it? The drinks sound good, at least." @rhysderiva.bsky.social #BelleFadeWedding

He blinks, tears prickling his eyes as he watches Bel and Cole join hands before the Keeper. The love on their faces as they gaze at each other is as plain as day, visible from every corner of the room. Softly, he whispers to Rhys, "I'm glad you came with me. This is beautiful." #BelleFadeWedding

*stares, eyes slowly narrowing* If anything, and I mean ANYTHING, makes them unhappy today and I find out you were responsible, you'll wish you stayed on the other side of the sea. You hear me? #BelleFadeWedding

Elion hums thoughtfully, eyeing the spot where couples are already lining up for portraits. Last time he'd attended an event like this, he'd been there alone and far too self-conscious to even consider it. This time, though... He smiles up at Rhys. "What do you think?" @rhysderiva.bsky.social

...Okay.

*frowns* What's this? @profanity.accountant
