#but needed to filter it through condescending altmeri court etiquette?'

[morihaus]

i have No clear plan w my sapiarch acolyte ocs bc it’s basically like oh ruthless academic women have a rivalry and are attracted to one another in a way that they can’t see past the competitive academic institution they find themselves in and as soon as pannolaire has “won” in effect by convincing the thalmor that they should ship runalenwe off to elsweyr, it only strikes her how unfulfilling her work and life becomes as this person so important to her has been taken away from her day to day life and it all sort of hits that maybe it wasn’t all about the destination of becoming a sapiarch, it was about the journey to get there and the witty companion she had along for that ride plus the both of them get a much clearer view of the thalmor as they actually look out over the walls of their college and see what’s happening in the outside world, runalenwe especially as she enters a completely different kind of cutthroat altmeri hierarchy stationed in anequina and sees the obvious onset of the great war coupled with the cold grip of the dominion spreading over valenwood and the kingdoms of elsweyr. endgame for them is becoming anti-thalmor agents and girlfriends but exactly what they’re doing/when they’re doing it is lost on me

#oc: runalenwe #oc: pannolaire #the impetus for all of this #was 'wouldn't it be fun if two altmer ladies were flirting #but needed to filter it through condescending altmeri court etiquette?'
