hmm. isabeau teaching brynjolf ballroom dances

#thats all. thank u #ch: isabeau #x: isabeau/brynjolf #no thats not all actually. yknow i was just briefly thinking abt these two #doesnt happen often bc they r difficult to think abt bc just like most skyrem npcs. bryn has like zero characterization to work with #like what was his life before the thieves guild what made him join the guild what r his motivations what r his relationships like #all i know is that he's definitely not former nobility like isabeau (or is he. who knows. not me bc bethany esda tells us nothing) #but like lets assume that brynjolf comes from a poor background. knows nothing about ballroom dances. #isabeau prefers to distance herself from her noble background. except when playing the nobility card benefits her lol #but one of the few things from her youth she remembers fondly is attending balls and celebrations and dancing until she was out of breath #and one day when they're at that stage where there is mutual attraction but neither is taking it further bc beau is emotionally stunted #and brynjolf is ????? idk maybe hes oblivious or maybe he thinks he wants to keep it professional idkkkkkk #anyway imagine if u will. one day. beau and bryn sitting together at an empty ragged flagon. everyone else is asleep or just. elsewhere #beau is a lil tipsy and accidentally oversharing abt her past and Reminiscing #she catches herself being Serious and is like haha anyway. wanna learn some traditional breton ballroom dances #for fun. not bc shes into bryn and emotional bc of the tipsiness and wants to be close to him hngnnhgnnhg #its the first time bryn sees beau Genuinely smile and laugh !!! #shes always wearing a fake polite smile but on that day its Real and it reaches her eyes #and shes clinging to bryn laughing bc shes having fun and brynjolf cant dance and she finds it cute. ok. #hm. to me they're kinda like those two cats from that movie... wjat was it. aristocats right. except beau doesnt have kids #or the one with the dogs... lady and the tramp.... #any skyrem mutuals wanna throw some brynjolf headcanons at me btw. i need.. something to work with... please give this man some personality #like. he's loyal to the guild? (why?) skilled thief? not particularly religious? not interested in leading? (why?) thats all i got #cares abt the dragonborn enough to go look for them but does he care abt them as a person or as an asset to the guild. or both. idk idk
