I've done something you'll not like, though I hope it aids us all, in the end.

[thirsted]

If it's already done, then I can only hope so, too.
Will you tell me?

Apologies for dashing off.
They’ve sent the girl’s head to Ren, as they did Saber’s to Ani.

[thirsted]

Hells.

Is she
I'm sure she's not alright, but you get what I mean.

How are you?

I know it's a foolish question.

[thirsted]

I'm as well as one can be, when about to stand trial.
And you, my dear?

@stefan

[interpersonally]

Do you believe you killed Greer?

[thirsted]

I believe I could have.

@TRICKY🦊

[endow]

I'm not voting for you

[thirsted]

[ not particularly surprised by this— ]

And who will you vote for, little fox?

[ before melissa steps forward. ]

More evidence and accusations are coming, it seems, when I thought all was lost.

The one I think most valid is Finch, a light-haired Spade. A hunter. A blood mage.

[ not you. ]

[thirsted]

[ He has to read the message twice for it to make any sense. The most important thing: that it exonerates him, perhaps, when more evidence might point in Finch's direction than his own.

But one thing remains: ]

They'll still be looking for another Spade.

ok done

[nightsung]

Guess what I named her?

I'm sorry about what happened during the "game". People were talking about Hawk, and I honestly believed that he was innocent, so I was grasping for anything else that made sense. It's not a good excuse for what I put you and Gale through, especially knowing now that it was Hawk after all.

I just want you to know that I know I was wrong, and I feel awful about it.

Please don't feel obligated to respond to this. But if you want to talk about it, we can.

[ It's not a message that Astarion is expecting. Werewolf is not, historically, an experience that has lent itself to much common sense, and yet— ]

I appreciate the apology.

I can't honestly say I wouldn't have done the same thing, if not worse, were I in your shoes and were Gale in Hawk's.

I'm sorry for what they did to him.

hi astarion! (hi shadowheart)
i already sent out an invite to gale and told him you're invited, but i really want you to come, so you also get one directly. i'm throwing a party for thanksgiving! lots of food and celebrating and giving thanks. and you can wear cozy sweaters and eat until i have to roll you out the door. it's basically the best holiday ever and if you haven't celebrated it before you're in for such a treat. please come!! please please pleaseeeee

(also i'll make some blood foods for spike, so don't worry. that in mind — can you eat normal foods too? let me know!!) (please come)

[thirsted]

Hello, my dear. Thank you both for the invite and the very kind accommodation (I cannot, alas, eat normal food, though I can at least appreciate the smell of it) — we will, of course, be in attendance. It seems I'll have to find an appropriate sweater.

[multiverse]

Hello, Astarion. A very good morning to you, how are the kids, etc. If you're interested, I'm reaching out with an invitation for you.
Busy?

[thirsted]

Hello, Parisa. Good morning to you as well; the hen has been doing splendidly since being returned to a more fitting home.
Not too busy to entertain such a mysterious offer. How can I be of service?

[ following this snippet of conversation... ]

Since when are you Jinx's "delivery boy"?

[thirsted]

I wouldn't consider it an official title.

[ blissfully oblivious ....... ]

I owed her a favor, and made a delivery for her to square my debt. That's all.

@bitchface

[chokedout]

[In response to his secret santa gift:]

Astarion,
Thank you kindly for such a thoughtful gift, it's like you plucked thoughts straight from my head for such perfect choices. Delphine is of mixed opinion, but she's always like that. I hope you enjoy being subscribed to her weekly photo ops from here on in.

[thirsted]

I believe it's the right of any cat worth their salt to wish for supplicants such as ourselves to strive for perfection. That is to say, I'm quite glad to hear that your gifts and hers are to your liking. And I am, of course, thrilled to be included in such a lofty circle — to be subject to the occasional response from my own small friend.

@autumnreaver

[littlepebble]

[ is this a misfire or no? who can know. ]

you know how people who are flirting compare hand sizes so the smaller one can tell the bigger one they're so strong?

do elves do this with their ears?

[thirsted]

[ After a minute spent giving this genuine consideration: ]

Sometimes. More often than not, it's non-elves who use it as a pretext to initiate touch.

Do you do it? The hand size thing?

@koby

[kobes]

Could I ask you a favor?
I'm moving out of my room, but it's taking a while and I can tell it's very disruptive to Lincoln.
Could she stay over for a few nights?

[thirsted]

[ Oh— ]

Of course, yes. You're welcome to stay, too, if you'd like.
We use the other room as a study, you'd have it to yourself.
