PROMPTS FROM BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

@necropolich said: i know he looks unique, but he's really kind and gentle. he's my friend. (Showing off Manfred <3)

he radiates warmth & pride, but before she can decide how to react, her features betray her, twisting into an obvious grimace as the skeleton bounds toward them with the eagerness & energy of scratch, tea tray surprisingly steady in hand. he moves quite normally for a puppet on a string but, even so, alara recoils a wary step back from it.

kind & gentle he may be – may be – but also dead. which he conveniently omitted.

it reads the room, at least, & shies away in turn, & from a safe distance, she gets a better look. the goggles are a nice touch, although she can think of about a thousand different, better, ways to put those gems to use than decorating bones that, by all rights, should be in the ground, or dust.

❝       is that so ? you must get out more, then.       ❞

The radiant pride, the relief, at his assistant's company had wilted like a daylily. Even as Emmrich basks in Manfred's excitement at being introduced, he could not help but spot Alara's reaction. His taste oft dismissed, but at least Emmrich has tact, unlike some people.

    ❝Why? So I might spend my time in better company? Manners seem such a rarity nowadays, something Manfred has in abundance.❞

    Sure, he might find himself caught in the odd rose bush, or wandering off to chase a bug, but as far as Alara is aware, Manfred is the pinnacle of etiquette.

Even the sight of Emmerich's pain isn't enough to fully snap her out of it, and she frowns. "I..." Nan hesitates. "I dunno if it'd be a good idea. What if I hurt him?" The gentler side of her wants only to hold it, curious to see what it would feel like against her skin. Would it be warm? Cool to the touch? Would it tickle?

❝It would not be here if it did not wish to be. It will dissipate if endangered or if its fear outweighs its curious nature,❞ Emmrich consoles Nan and the wisp both. Perhaps she might find a way to do it harm before the spirit can return to Mystra's fold, but it is a good sign that she considers the spirit's pain at all.

    There is good in there, buried beneath some character-altering illness. He is sure of it, if only because the alternative was too much to bear.

    ❝You may experience a brief headache when it finds your parasite.❞ The wisp hesitates as Emmrich draws closer to Nan. The tendrils of light that radiate from its centre wilt away like little hands held tight against itself. After a moment, it considers what may be safe parts of her. Emmrich guides it towards her hands, and it curls up in his palm, shriking away. He hums with frustration before leading it towards her legs, where it seemed more curious than afraid, carefully gliding off his hand.

    The spirit hovers a distance from Nan before inching closer to her torso, spending the most time there before jolting away. It was just as afraid of her head as it had been of his, but it seemed outright disturbed by her tail and hands.

    Why did tail and hands? It hardly constituted a diagnosis. Still, at least it hinted that there was something more than the parasite affecting Nan. What that was, Emmrich could not tell.
