(Illario & Lucanis Dellamorte, 9:51 Dragon, The Wigmaker Job)

Slightly younger cousins, moments before Lucanis left by ship, after Illario betrayed his trust and sold him to the Venatori.

Illario's outfit is an original design I made for last year's Illario Week. As per Mary Kirby's words, Lucanis didn't have a beard before the Ossuary, nor a mullet! He looks so baby haha <3

◈ WIPs

Evi's first impression of Illario was that he appeared to be an ideal Crow. Clearly dangerous, shrewd, intense, and capable of anything. Then again, Evariste knew almost nothing about the Crows, so...grain of salt. After bringing Lucanis back, finding Caterina gone, Illario's behavior set off warnings. Evariste has eight siblings. With that many kids, at least two of them at any given moment were about to break something, currently breaking something, or hiding that they'd broken something. Followed swiftly by a theatrical performance of innocence, or some other impassioned misdirect. His parents were fair and forgiving. The kids all knew it, and still they broke things, still they feared the specter of disappointment. Everything about Illario from that point forward struck Evi as a performance for the benefit of a small, distracted audience. The stakes grew out of Illario's control so quickly. He judged the man for doubling down on bad choices, like...a lot of bad choices. But there was never malice in Evi for Illario, never hatred. You don't raise a child on pain and scheming and then balk when he schemes and causes pain.

Round #1 — Match 23 of 25

vs. Illario Dellamorte

Propaganda: He is dumb and stupid and I love how he keeps lying out of his ass about the most obvious shit. The ashes? Ohh the ashes of my dead grandma who is dead i saw it happen trust me? Those ashes?? Blood magic? Literally didn't happen idk what you're on about there Rook? Shouldn't you be more worried about keeping Lucanis away from me?
