Abby's Spiral

Imagine Arthur, Noel, Oscar, and John trekking through the Dreamlands together, and John has his eldritch body. John keeps a tentacle wrapped around Arthur at all times. Nothing too obnoxious, just a small one subconsciously curled around his arm or waist, ready to pull Arthur back from any danger (like holes). Arthur, for his part, does not seem to notice except to absent-mindedly rub the tentacle occasionally as if he finds it comforting. Noel and Oscar, however, DO notice, especially when the group stops to rest, because then MORE tentacles come out to wrap around Arthur, coiling around his legs and across his chest. Still, Arthur remains unbothered by this, casually talking to Noel and Oscar like it's normal to be COVERED in tentacles. Meanwhile, Noel and Oscar are trying to act casual, like the sight doesn't really freak them out, but it definitely does.

another thing that chade did that pisses me off: when he told fitz he has no ambition and too much caution! it's almost as if he was kept as a stablehand for years, was dressed beneath his station, was reminded repeatedly that he's a bastard and that his uncle can try and kill him all he wants and get away with it, lived with his head down so no one will pay too much attention to chivalry's bastard, was made into a literal tool so it wouldn't cross his mind for a second that he could be the next king, and the few times he did act according to his own will he was accused of usurpring the throne and got tortured to death. gee, chade, how dare your child assassin have too much caution!
