For those awkward nights or morning afters, these have triggering themes implied but are not explicit.

“Just what did we do last night?”

“Good morning, I guess?”

“And that’s why they don’t let me drink tequila.”

“I don’t remember any of that.”

“At least I won the contest.“

"You got home too late last night and we didn’t get a chance to talk.”

“I don’t get it, what happened? You suddenly like me now?”

“Did you sleep okay last night?”

“Your breakfast is getting cold!”

“No. Go back to sleep.”

“I dreamt about you last night.”

“It’s okay.  I couldn’t sleep anyway.”

“Did you have fun with you-know-who last night?”

“Are you lost?”

“Do you know where we are?”

“I guess, starting tomorrow, we can tell people.”

“What are the chances that we’re both serial killers?”

“I was joking about being a serial killer.”

“You ever wonder how you got to this point in your life?”

“I’m really into you. I just can’t be with you…right now.”

“Is there any way we could just go back to normal?”

“You got into a fight, didn’t you.”

“How’d you get those bruises?”

“I’ll take the sofa, you take the bed.”

“What part of "stay put” didn’t make sense to you?“

"We were only supposed to be friends.”

“Are you wearing my shirt?”

“I don’t do relationships.”

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“Why did you let me do that?”

“Please tell me you’re not wearing a ring.”

“Have you seen my shirt?”

“I know I said this the last time, but “Never again.””

My  muse  murmurs  your  muse’s  name  in  their  sleep,  unaware  they’re  listening.

My  muse  hesitates  before  saying  your  muse’s  name,  like  they’re  afraid  of  what  it  means.

My  muse  asks  your  muse  to  say  their  name  again,  just  to  hear  how  it  sounds.

My  muse  lets  your  muse’s  name  slip  out  in  a  moment  of  exhaustion,  vulnerability,  or  drunken  honesty.

My  muse  leans  in,  their  breath  warm  against  your  muse’s  ear  as  they  say  their  name—slowly.

My  muse  says  your  muse’s  name  like  a  warning,  but  there’s  something  softer  beneath  it.

My  muse  lingers  on  your  muse’s  name,  their  voice  catching  before  they  can  say  anything  else.

My  muse  clenches  their  jaw  when  someone  else  says  your  muse’s  name—too  fondly.

My  muse  chokes  on  your  muse’s  name  in  an  argument,  suddenly  unable  to  be  angry.

My  muse  whispers  your  muse’s  name  in  a  dark,  empty  room,  knowing  they  won’t  answer.

My  muse  says  your  muse’s  name  with  finality,  like  a  goodbye  they  never  wanted  to  say.

My  muse  smirks  as  they  whisper  your  muse’s  name,  testing  their  reaction.

My  muse  playfully  refuses  to  call  your  muse  by  their  name,  just  to  see  them  pout.

SUGGESTIVE / MILDLY NSFW.

how do you believe in all this and still believe in god?

everybody has to deal with shit in their lives.

what do you think that is?

being human is feeling bad, it's feeling pissed off, it's feeling scared.

i yelled at you because i care about you.

that's what normal people do who love each other.

god gives us what we can handle, even if we don't believe it ourselves.

i pray every night that you don't go straight to hell.

i won't go straight to hell. i wanna stop off in new york first.

i just want to talk to you.

it's a gamble.

sacrifice won't take away pain and loss, but it wins the battle against bitterness.

i believe true sacrifice is a victory.

memories are erased.

i remembered you.

i remembered every moment we spent together.

everything came flooding back into my heart.

you still don't get it, do you?

i don't want to be any further away from you than i am right now.

one way or another, love is a risk for anybody.

go ahead. kill me.

i'm sick of listening to your family.

i have been going out of my mind for the past two weeks.

you know what? i don't care about them.

you are not going dark.

you are not losing me.

no matter what they do, no matter what they do to me, i'm still here.

i could hear the sound.

i was shattered.

no good can come from loving a mortal.

they can't survive in our world.

get out. go.

claim the light.

nothing can stay.

my family's different.

we do different things.

so, what, you're from europe?

my mom says there's two types of people who live here: the people too stupid to leave and the ones too stuck to move.

i'm agreeing with you!

i'm jut a dumbass mortal.

there's no way we're gonna figure this out unless you stop feeling so damn sorry for yourself.

go ahead. see where that gets you.

promise me one thing: it will be a perfectly normal human date.

i won't even call you after the date.

you've... heard of me?

as long as i live, i will never understand you creatures.

you have no real power.

you're gonna think i'm so uncool.

i don't think you're cool now.

is it good?

define good.

did you go for a run last night?

did it help you sleep?

you've got it all planned out! good for you!

i'm not afraid of you.

you can't help it, can you?

i never know whether you're insulting me or not.

if it makes any difference, i like you.

anything is better than a life standing still.

My  muse  bites  their  lip,  hesitates,  then  finally  sighs,  “I  don’t  know  how  to  say  this,  but…  I  think  you  mean  more  to  me  than  you  should.”

My  muse  confesses  in  a  quiet  moment,  looking  down,  “I  don’t  need  you  to  say  anything  back,  I  just…  needed  you  to  know.”

My  muse  shakes  their  head  with  a  soft  laugh.  “It’s  ridiculous,  really.  I  was  scared  to  tell  you  because…  I  didn’t  want  to  lose  you.”

My  muse  confesses  in  a  moment  of  desperation,  gripping  your  muse’s  wrist  as  they  plead,  “Just…  tell  me  I  don’t  have  a  chance,  and  I’ll  stop.”

My  muse  looks  away,  voice  barely  above  a  whisper.  “If  I  tell  you,  everything  changes.  And  I  don’t  know  if  I  can  handle  that.”

My  muse  whispers  it  against  your  muse’s  skin,  their  breath  warm.  “I’ve  wanted  to  say  this  for  so  long…”

My  muse  confesses  as  they  tend  to  your  muse’s  wounds,  their  hands  gentle.  “You  don’t  get  it,  do  you?  I’d  do  anything  for  you.”

My  muse  leans  in,  voice  barely  audible.  “Tell  me  I’m  wrong.  Tell  me  you  don’t  feel  it  too.”

My  muse  murmurs  it  in  the  dark,  thinking  your  muse  is  asleep.  “…I  love  you.”

My  muse  says  it  in  the  middle  of  laughter,  their  expression  softening  as  realization  dawns.  “God,  I  love  you.”

i'll feed your innards to the ants before i do that.

you're not here to play with the locals.

question, kill, then move on.

fail her at your peril.

were i not merciful, i would slice the skin clean from your meat.

i am nothing if not merciful.

tell me: why shouldn't i run you through this instant?

you are nothing until i tell you otherwise.

nothing even approaching a useful thought in that skulll.

it costs me nothing to spare your sorry life.

i required your silence and you made me a mockery.

save your anger for the enemies.

i will skewer the jeretic with his own silver sword.

don't trust a word out of her mouth.

you were supposed to rush to my defense.

fat lot of good you are.

she could shoot fireworks out of her backside for all i care.

i don't know what just happened any more than you do.

not my usual quarry, not my usual ally.

your faith is your own concern, not mine.

i didn't think you'd react so pragmatically.

in the future, i expect you to be honest.

as if mingling with a horde of goblins wasn't bad enough.

let's do what we have to, then get out of here.

let's not linger in this place any more than necessary.

pain without purpose is a terrible thing.

you bore the pain like a true believer.

i don't think i have the stomach for this.

this place was supposed to be abandoned.

a joy to see a familiar face in such a precarious setting.

a fine mess you landed yourself in.

how better to learn the ways of a people than to live among them.

one should cherish all of nature's bounty, but goblin guts are quite far down the list.

you're a true friend of nature, or perhaps a lunatic.

it's unbecoming to demand honorifics from the one who saved my hide.

you weren't speaking lightly when you said you needed help.

that doesn't mean i can't help.

you have my sincere sympathies.

the magic used is beyond me. it's either not of this world, or so ancient as to be lost to even nature's memory.

the natural order must be protected.

there's no order anymore, only chaos.

chaos is welcome in doses.

i'm practically an expert.

you're either an excellent storyteller or you've experiences something quite exceptional.

i'd be irresponsible not to debunk such a strange claim.

i cannot trust my own mind.

there is great potential within you.

you're looking for solutions in the wrong places.

if we work together, we may turn this around.

until it is found, i will take something precious from you every hour that passes.

silence now, or i will silence you forever.

he's been resilient, but he'll talk.

i will have an explanation, or your head.

i do not wish to spill blood here.

come daylight, we will find a place to end this.

you can accept you're wrong, or we'll be rid of you permanently.

you had every chance to look the other way.

you chose this.

don't expect to be mourned.

she's a liability.

thieves aren't afforded such luxuries.

loosen the grip on your pride for one blasted moment, won't you?

“ you shoot. i distract. “

“ here, take my hand. “ “ are you clean? “

“ don't touch me. “ “ okay. shall i leave you here to die, then? “

“ stop it, you're hurting me! “ “ i need to get the knife out. “

“ didn't realize you had it in you. “ “ what? “ “ to care for another person. “

“ trust me, if anybody's going to kill you, it's going to be me. “

“ couldn't just let you die. fair fight and all. “

“ don't remove the knife, or you'll bleed to death. “

“ shut up before i kill you myself. “

“ just wait for me here. “ “ it's not like i can go anywhere. “

“ give me your gun. “ “fuck, no. “

“ why the hell did they stab you? “ “...should i have asked for an explanation? “

“ shut up or i'll give you a real reason to cry. “

“ you owe me. “

“ fuck you, i'm not doing this. “

“ what's wrong with you? you almost got me killed! “

“ yeah, well. perhaps i didn't understand just how much until this very moment. “ “ this is all your fault. “ “ don't act like you're not enjoying yourself. “

“ you're going to kill me, aren't you? “

“ why would you do this? why would you help me? “

“ call it a truce. “

“ why the hell did you stab me? “

“ i don't have anywhere else to go. “

“ i'm glad you're okay. “

“ thank you, for saving my life. “

“ i would have died if it wasn't for you. “

“ you can stay for as long as you need. “

“ we can go back to hating each other tomorrow. “

it was far from the norm.

could it be some kind of sign?

is it finally time?

i'll be here, buying you time.

time is fleeting.

time to be the man of the house.

let the arrow fly.

i'd rather die than grow old without the best of you.

i would not have it any other way.

i never thought that it would end like this.

i'll be here waiting.

we've been here for hours.

can't you see we're being played?

haven't you noticed who's missing?

i heard he's on a diplomatic mission.

channel the fire inside your soul.

i've suffered every punishment and pain.

i have had enough.

we have the advantage.

somewhere in the shadows lurks an agile, deadly foe.

we've the numbers and the might.

you don't understand it.

this man plans for every fight.

keep your head down.

the odds can be tilted.

you don't think i know my own palace? i built it.

our leader is dead.

the rest of us are no longer a threat.

let's have open arms, instead.

he's more cunning than i assumed.

let's make the bastard rot.

throw down those weapons, and i'll ensure you'll be spared.

come and arm yourself.
