Ethari, hugging Runaan: Is this your knife? Or are you happy to see me?

Runaan: Both.

Ethari: Wait what?

Runaan: ...What?

Ethari: Wait, how many knives do you have on you?

Runaan:

Runaan, seductively: Do you want to count?

Ethari: You know Archaic Draconic?

Runaan: I got bored with Ancient Draconic.

Ethari: You know Ancient Draconic??

Runaan: Yeah someone from my knitting club taught me.

Ethari: YOU HAVE A KNITTING CLUB?

Runaan: You don't know everything about me, Craftsman. Now do you want a sweater or a scarf?

Moonjournaling

I miss his hands.

All of him, of course, but... his hands, the most. Who is Ethari without his hands, without the wondrous magics they can craft, without that tender placement of his gifts into your care?

If Ethari cares for you, it is impossible not to notice. Even for me, stubborn fool that I am. I am covered in proof of his love, from my horns to my heels. My husband loves me. And yet, here I waste, apart from him. Is there any elf more un-loved than one forcibly separated from his husband by cruel magic, taken so far that neither Moon nor craftsman can reach him?

And yet. In my heart, I know it still: Ethari loves me.

I know my own suffering. With every breath, I know it. But Ethari... does he not suffer more? Without the Moon, he cannot find me. He thinks me lost. (And lost I am, but not that sort of lost.) Surely, his heart struggles more for believing me gone. At least I know he lives, safe in the Silvergrove where none can harm him.

I must return to him. I must show him I still live. It is the only way to end his torment. There must be some way out of here, some way back. I need to find him-

But what to say, once I am there?

No. No mere words will suffice. Any trick can talk, any illusion can elucidate. I need something more. Something he will know immediately as me - the true me.

A kiss. No magic can replicate the way I kiss my husband. He would know me blind by the way I kiss his lips.

It's settled. I will find a way out. And then I will kiss my husband. And then he will feel better.

And then, finally, so will I.

Was there ever a time when Ethari got really mad and yelled at someone?

He has, in fact, raised his voice to me. Which I wholeheartedly deserved. Sometimes he has to use sheer volume to make an impact among my tightly ordered personal processes and rituals.

I never mean to be stubborn or dismissive. But it's in my nature to act swiftly, and it's hard to take those choices back, afterward.

Put it in a bun or ponytail!

Can short hair even make a bun? How short were you imagining my hair, little shadow? *clutches ponytail protectively*

I suppose if it's still long enough for a bun, a big hair change can't be too bad... Right?

Are you hoping to see your husband again on your birthday?

I see him every time I close my eyes. But also seeing him on my birthday would be nice. I don't think I'd be able to stop myself from

I drew you finally :D do you like it?

*fans self* I can't possibly look this good! Who is this handsome fellow?? Was Runaan peeking over your shoulder? Was there a thump when he fainted?

Thank you so much for sharing your skill! Such craftsmanship, I'm in awe.

Hiiii. Got nothin to ask just wanted to say hi, you give me a lot of drawing motivation

You know what I look like? I thought I was so well hidden...

Runaan, killing Harrow: the buck stops here

Viren, in the dungeon: *holds up a coin* you thought you could open economic negotiations with me? I'm afraid you simply cannot afford the cost of living in Katolis

Have you ever bumped into some relatives in your missions before? Also you would look great in short hair!

I try to mind my space and never bump into anyone.

But back to my hair... how short is short? What if it gets in my eyes? I still need to have an Ethari braid somewhere, of course, but what else should I do with it? My hair hasn't been so short in decades.

Runaan: you are killing my tough guy personality

Ethari: who's a good kitty?

Runaan: meeee :3

What is magic to you?

The feeling that I get when I look at Ethari.

The fire in my heart when I am with the elves in my village; the deep understanding of how special each and every one of them are, and the great importance that is found in the act of protecting them.

Lain and Tiadrin's unwavering dedication to their mission.

It is in many things.

Has Ethari ever told you that you have a cute tummy?

...Yes. However, I don't quite understand what he means when he says it. I have the body of an elf who has dedicated almost every waking hour of his life to achieving a strong, weapons grade form. To find it cute is...confusing. But he has my trust, and he seems to be enjoying himself, so I let him.

Is Skor taken or not? And what about Ram?

Unsure about Skor, however I have come to understand that Ram does not concern themself with romantic partnerships. They are happiest in training, or with close friends.

I feel like when tiadrin and lain get out of the coin it's gonna be angsty as hell.

Like imagine having to leave your little girl to do your job and when you see her again she isn't little anymore. She's grown- she has her own things now and imagine the. Amount of memories And sweet moments you misses because you were away for so long.

I don't know what state we will be in when we are freed, little shadow, but there are many fates worse than coming back sad.

Moon willing, that is all we'll have to suffer with.

i have no excuses for this... just ruthari in suits (plus ethari's longer hair because that's a thing that's happening next season, apparently???)

Ok, but now the real question is: what would you do if someone called you Rayla's Dad? How about Callum?

The honor of being Rayla's father belongs to Lain, whom I respect and admire. I would immediately say so.

Besides, the world is not ready for Rayla with my curled horns.

Do you mean that Callum is calling me this, or that I could be called his father as well? Is this level of association truly necessary? I do not know human lineages as well as elven ones, but there is always a chance that I have taken more than one of the boy's father figures.

Perhaps a safe distance is best, yes? For both of us.
