Day 2: Craft
I missed @dalish-appreciation-week day 1 cause I had an awful migraine and never finished my fic but I do have this ficlet for day 2! I imagine Dalish do lots of knitting and crocheting with halla fur, it would be easier than trying to weave on the go as far as I’m concerned :3 I picked crochet cause that’s what I do in my spare time lol
Cross posted on my ao3!
featuring: Alras Lavellan and Dorian Pavus
Fibercraft had never been Alras’ strong suit. Sure he’d played around with it as a kid, but once his magic came in, all of his focus had turned to that.
Still, he was determined. He’d traded for halla wool and a crochet hook from the Dalish clan in the Exalted Plans, and the nice craftswoman had made sure he knew what he was doing. Well enough anyway. Now he just had to make a scarf and hat.
It was easier said than done. The first attempt at a scarf had become a triangle… somehow. Alras still wasn’t entirely sure how. It would forever remain a mystery. Then once he’d gotten the hang of that, it turned out he didn’t have enough wool for his plans.
But he had a scarf anyway. That would have to do.
“Here!” He presented his present to Dorian with a wide grin. The tevinter raised an eyebrow, taking the box from him gingerly.
“What, pray tell, are you doing?”
“It’s a gift, Dorian.” Dorian looked more perplexed than Alras thought he ought to. “You do give gifts in Tevinter, right?”
“Of course we give gifts,” Dorian replied with a huff. He opened the box, blinking at what he found. “A scarf?”
“You are always complaining about the cold, vhenan,” Alras teased. “I made it! I also acknowledge that it’s ugly but-”
“Nonsense, it’s perfect.” Dorian wrapped it around his neck, looking a bit like he was drowning in it. “Although it is a little… wide.”
“I never claimed to be a master craftsman,” Alras said with a laugh. He gently pulled Dorian in by the scarf, kissing him gently. “Although I like being able to do that.”
“Then I shall have to wear this often,” Dorian said, eyes sparkling. “Thank you, Amatus.”
“Anything for you, vhenan.”
