He ALWAYS focuses on work. The business they’re in doesn’t allow for slip ups, but Jester Lavorre has been a constant one ever since he’s met her. Bren knows it’s dangerous, and yet he cannot stay away. If anything, it makes him want her even more, and the fact that she so readily offers herself up to him? It only adds to the whole thing. They both know she shouldn’t be here, and Astrid and Wulf will never let him live this down if they find out, but he really cannot bring himself to care. “Oh you don’t know what you’re saying, Jester.” He mutters with a slight smirk, hands spreading her thighs apart a little wider, before leaning in to press kisses to the inside of her thighs. A primal part of him wants to throw her down and take her right there and then, but then the fun would be over so quickly, and there’s NO WAY he’s letting her go so fast. “Lie back.” One hand presses her down onto her back, papers crumpling beneath her body as he puts his mouth to her core, slow strokes with his tongue at first, dress pushed up even further. “And enjoy for now...”

if anything, jester’s job was to stir chaos, both for her father’s line of work and her god’s. this was anything but for the pair of them- it was selfish but oh was it perhaps the best chaos she’s been causing. they weren’t supposed to be here, they weren’t supposed to be falling into a pattern but jester, for reasons other than chaos, and for reasons that she tried to deny. she had never felt this way before. her heart thunders when she stares at him for too long. when they touch, she feels like it’s going to burst. and oh when he smirks down at her- she’s trying her best to play aloof, cool, but she can’t help the blush that spread across her face at that and his words. she swallows her argument that she does know what she’s saying and doing but it turns into a sigh of her lips as his press to her thighs, happily spreading her legs for him.

before maybe she would have tried to catch a glimpse of the work that she is now crushing under her weight. she can’t now though. she cares and though of course, she would never say that outloud but oh does it echo in her head now, when she’s with him, or when she’s alone. it never stops. she would do almost anything he asks when it was just them, another word she did not imagine until she waltzed into his office.

He let's out a soft moan when her fingers wind into his hair and he pushes himself closer, giving in to the feeling of WANTING her. She's beautiful like this, all spread out beneath him, and he tells her as much between pushes of his tongue, the intention of wanting to make her come at least once before even taking his own clothes off pretty clear.

Her words are soft spoken and yet so CLEAR and spoken with intent that they’re impossible to miss. Maybe he’d be able to talk himself out of this, to turn away and leave her behind, because he does still believe it would be better for her to live her life free of any burdens he brought along, but then again, she seems like someone who’s persistent, someone who, once they’ve set their eyes on something, do not give up. She would not still be here if she wasn’t. He thinks, and the knot in his stomach tightens just a little. “Jester.” Her name slips out before he can stop himself, before he can get it together enough to send her away. He’s tried, or he’s tried HARD, and yet she’s right here, her hands soft against his cheeks, and Caleb can’t help but feel tears rising in his eyes. “Please don’t ever think you don’t deserve me. If anything...I do not deserve someone as kind and loving as you.” He doesn’t think of himself as a good person, hasn’t for a very long time, though Beauregard will probably tell him different, and so will Vess. It’s strange, how he doesn’t manage to get Trent’s voice out of his head, even after not seeing him for such a long time, and it’s just another part of himself he hates. Still, the tears begin to fall when she talks about LOVE, like he cannot quite believe that she would love someone like him, and yet he doesn’t step away, even though he knows it would be for the best. Caleb doesn’t know how much time passes like this, how much time passes until he finally meets her eyes through his tears. “You’d let me love you, just like that?”

all of this has started at just a game, something to benefit them both in the long run, but all too quickly, something inside of jester knew this was her path. she tried her best to push it down. she tried her best to remind herself time and time again that it is an act on his part, any flirtation, any dance, any smile or stolen look has been nothing but a ruse but what she feels is anything but and she has kept it inside out of fear for long enough- too long if the tears that form in caleb widogast’s eyes have anything to say. she feels them form in her own eyes as she watches, trying to fight the urge to run to him, to cup his cheeks and wipe them away but for now, she holds back in wait.

the duke says her name as though it’s some sort of tender thing, and that’s enough to let the tears drip from her eyes but she doesn’t shy away or withdraw, not even as doubt fills her in response to his words. “ you deserve the moon. the stars. the sun. infinite smiles and joy and laughter and all the happiness in the world, your grace. ” you deserve so much better than me. but she leaves that unsaid, a faint smile stretching on her lips despite her thoughts but one that falls the very moment she notices the tears falling from his eyes.

he looks at her and he speaks at last and jester brushes both hands over his cheeks, feather light, almost asking if the touch is okay with her eyes as she lightly brushes away at the skin, trying to brush them away, ignoring her own falling. she answers his question with a nod and a sad sort of chuckle, staring at him till she finds her words.

Then Jester had stumbled into his life and had recklessly turned it upside down without a second though, and oh he was more thankful for that than she could EVER know. He intends to tell her though, especially now that he can see tears falling from her eyes, and making her worry, or worse: feel sad, is the very last thing he wants to do.

every time she touches caleb, jester does so with a tender caution, like she is scared that should she so much as flinch, his flesh would crack and she would hurt him. she touches him all the same, despite the worry. she runs her fingers over the marks on his arms, her eyes never leaving his, partially to make sure he is comfortable but also just to admire his beautiful blue gaze, the softest of smiles stretching on her lips, hoping that he might find some sort of comfort in it, or perhaps joy. joy, though, and any jestering seems too far away to possibly reach, though, so the tiefling instead prepares to accept solace and grounding.

“ i do not think you are a failure. i think you are the farthest thing from a failure. i think you are the most brilliant, sucessful person i know. i know you are.. ” her voice is soft, not quite a whisper but something almost more tender, her words meant to bring calm and comfort, though she feared they were helping little. at the very least she aimed to tether him to the now, to the present, and the tiefling smiles tenderly before scooting closer, eyes not falling away from caleb’s deep blue for a single moment, her hand slowing it’s movement, but not drawing back, scooting closer to him instead.

She still does, he thinks, but she also knows just what to say to pull him from his negative thoughts, just like Caleb knows how to distract Jester from HER worries and make her smile. He'd say they're made for each other, if he allowed himself to ever think he'd be worthy of her love.

It hadn’t been an EASY fight, but then it rarely was with them. They had all made it out alive though, some worse for wear, but alive nonetheless. Caduceus had made sure to take care of Jester, and they had all decided to let her rest. Caleb had busied himself as long as possible, trying to stay awake, but the desire to be with her, and to make sure that she was okay, had overtaken him.

He’d been able to put the tower up to protect his friends, and her, for the night, and when he had settled down next to her, his own eyes had fallen shut pretty quickly. It wasn’t until she stirred next to him that he realized he had been holding her, and Caleb very nearly jumped back, his heart missing a beat. “Jester...” He clearned his throat, forcing himself to stay where he was, and ignoring the way everything inside of him was screaming to somehow pull back, but also lean closer. “How are you fealing?”  He blinked his eyes open fully, almost automatically reaching out to push a strand of hair from her face. “You took a pretty big hit, but Caduceus made sure you’re okay.”

despite coming to consciousness, everything inside of her throbbed and ached, even her mind waking up hurt but she felt grounded and oddly… warm. it hadn’t been till caleb spoke that she figured out why and the arms that were wrapped around her and the realization only made the warmth grow and with it a feeling of safety and assurance filling her even as she didn’t realize where she was for a moment. instead she looked at him, violet eyes wide and exhausted and looking at him with no energy to hide it away, instead looking into his eyes, leaning into his touch as he brushed her hair to the side, as though she could will his hand to stay.

jester swallowed, her voice hurting as she spoke but speaking all the same. “ is… is everyone okay? are you okay? ” her voice cracked a bit, not waiting for an answer, eyes scanning him to see if he was hurt too before worriedly raising to meet his again for a moment just looking at him as she tried to think on how to answer his question.

eyes closed and she tensed up a bit, though she leaned ever so slightly upon him. “ i… i hurt. like a lot. ” she laughed tiredly at her own words, shaking her head. “ i’ll sleep it off i’m sure.” yet right now, jester swore she’d never felt more awake as a certain guilt thunders inside of her.

"Everyone is okay." He's quick to say, resisting the urge to hold her a little tighter, simply to make sure she's truly here and well, and not a figment of his imagination. "Tired, but okay. I threw up the tower so we can all REST." The fire's still crackling, warming up the room, and yet he feels a different kind of warmth fill his chest simply from having Jester so close to him.
