Jayce is filing his nails, boredly leaning, tilting back in his chair in his designated work space with a snort &&. a more than amused laugh.

“But ‘Fluffy’ hasn’t.”

Truly a shame. Not a bad way to go.

𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  eyes  him  with  incredulous  enthusiasm  .  jutting  sharpened  nails  pick  at  the  golden  hook  of  his  fisticuffs  ,  before  tossing  the  weighted  metal  upon  the  tray  .  he  emits  an  exasperated  ruff  of  air  through  his  nasal  cavities  ,  his  thumb  scratching  lightly  at  the  scar  overlapping  the  bridge  .  ❝  normally  i  won’t  indulge  in  yer  weird  fantasies  ,  jayce  —  but  I’m  willing  to  make  an  exception  for  runnin’  yer  mouth  .  ❞

❝  careful  what’cha  wish  for  …  y’  better  not  be  bluffin’  when  you  find  yourself  unable  to  breathe.  ❞  the  boss  snorted  ,  the  outline  of  protruding  veins  flexing  atop  the  shiny  contours  &  definition  of  meaty  muscle  . ❝  hate  to  have  our  contract  cut  so  short  …  but  it’s  what  y’  want  .  ❞

it’s  funny  you  say  that  because  you  quite  literally  hit  the  nail  on  the  head  .  obviously  𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  being  an  abnormal  product  of  a  human  &  vastaya  can  be  seen  as  tainted  blood  of  the  chimeric  race  of  humanoids  that  are  the  descendants  from  enlightened  mortals  ;  vastayashai'rei  .  however  ,  it  would  seem  that  the  vastaya  of  modern  day  forget  that  the  originated  race  came  about  from  a  mixing  of  the  vastayashai'rei  &  humans  with  some  tribes  having  stronger  vastayashai'rei  heritage  than  others  .  but  there  have  been  recent  disdain  for  humans  from  the  vastaya  tribes  .  Sett  being  the  recent  qualifiers  of  being  considered  a  “  demi  -  human  “  —  otherwise  a  child  of  mistake  .

➤                       𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  definitely  developed  some  trauma  ,  having  been  quite  literally  beaten  while  he’s  made  an  effort  to  cover  his  body  .  &  i  certainly  do  think  his  mother  had  also  been  beaten  &  slapped  for  trying  to  defend  her  son  ;  even  if  she  had  to  use  her  body  as  a  shield  if  she  refused  to  use  her  claws  .

𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓 suffers  a  handful  of  mental  illnesses  ,  among  it  being  undiagnosed  C-PTSD  &  anxiety  .  paranoia  becoming  another  big  contributor  . 𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  wasn’t  able  to  vent  out  his  frustrations  or  combat  it  .  he  wasn’t  able  to  fight  back  until  he  was  forced  to  as  defense  or  when  his  mother  became  a  subject  of  aggression  by  the  opposing  party  .  definitely  didn’t  help  with  being  in  poverty  &  rarely  anyone  allowing  you  to  be  a  big  contributor  for  a  meager  job  .

just  to  make  a  living  .

➤                       in  terms  of  his  appearances  ,  he  has  learnt  later  on  in  his  life  to  just  accept  who  he  was  .  i've  had  this  conversation  before  with  a  lot  of  lovely  moots  of  mine  ,  but  𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  used  to  pull  &  tug  hard  at  his  ears  &  ingrown  tail  .  he  used  to  try  &  scratch  out  patches  of  fur  &  cut  off  his  ears  because  he  wasn't  fully  human  (  until  his  mother  intervened  )  .  𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  now  has  scarring  at  the  base  of  his  ears  /  tail  ,  where  fur  no  longer  grows  due  to  stress  &  prolonged  damage  .

in  terms  of  eating  ,  𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  only  ate  what  him  &  his  mother  were  afforded  to  get  .  mainly  rice  &  oats  as  a  kid  ,  but  he  always  made  sure  to  give  his  mother  the  larger  portion  (  hence  his  fragility  &  frailness  )  .  𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  didn't  care  if  he  was  still  hungry  ,  only  if  his  mother  was  taken  care  of  .  of  course  ,  he  sometimes  will  miss  a  meal  as  an  adult  after  becoming  rich  .  he  wants  to  assure  his  mother's  comforts  before  his  own  .

granted  ,  with  bingwen  coming  along  into  his  life  ,  𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  had  no  choice  to  engorge  on  meats  &  other  nutrition  to  become  as  big  as  he  is  today  .

AGGRESSIVE  .  those  were  the  words  to  describe  this  encounter  .  aggressive  &  rough  ;  primal  &  unstoppable  .  it  felt  like  he  was  fighting  if  anything  –  with  his  mouth  anyway  .  it  was  angry  &  the  half  -  beast  could  detail  how  much  dominance    this  noxian  dog  fought  for  .  𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  drove  hard  hands  against  darius’  face  ,  thumbs  pressing  into  the  man’s  stubbled  jaw  while  the  others  drove  further  up  his  scalp  .  he  was  trying  to  gain  a  semblance  of  control  ;  fuck  something  .  his  canines  gritted  as  an  oncoming  growl  reverberated  through  his  gullet  .

no  matter  how  much  𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  tried  to  create  a  semblance  of  distance  ,  the  armored  brute  persisted  .  ❝  calm  th’  fuck  down    –  mutt  .  ❞  he  snarled  in  reprimament  .  𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  bit  down  on  darius’  lower  lower  lip  -  hard  –  urging  him  to  cut  it  out  .  

detaching  slowly  ,  his  hyper  -  pigmented  eyes  shifted  over  darius’  face  ,  pushing  the  man’s  face  away  ,  licking  his  own  chops  .  a  snort  from  him  .  ❝  this  ain’t  a  fight  –  can  barely  breathe  ‘ere  .  ❞  he  continued  ,  ripping  a  claw  away  to  wipe  the  sliver  of  saliva  away  .  his  lips  felt  fucking  swollen  –  didn’t  much  help  with  darius’  fight  .  𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  would  be  damned  to  lose  this  battle  .  even  if  it  was  for  the  benefit  of  fucking  kissing  .

fingers  still  sizzled  with  magic  ;  the  agonizing  sensation  of  bubbling  flesh  ignited  in  a  series  of  ripples  through  the  ridges  of  course  &  scarred  knuckles  .  although  bandaged  with  care  by  viktor’s  delicate  hands  ,  it  grappled  like  a  hook  upon  his  blue  vestments  .  pulling  &  leaving  deep  folds  within  the  fabric  until  viktor  was  sufficiently  against  him  .

his  muscles  were  a  heavy  contrast  against  the  metallic  ones  overlaying  in  ridges  ,  though  every  definition  of  the  body  fitted  perfectly  .  𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  breathed  sharply  through  his  scarred  nose  ,  nostrils  flared  &  sank  as  he  hollowed  the  ridges  overlaying  his  cheeks  .  artery  twitches  &  his  mouth  is  parted  in  a  crooked  smile  .  wet  with  his  breathing  .

he  didn’t  feel  the  other  man  pull  away  when  𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓  pushed  further  &  kissed  him  .  he  didn’t  feel  the  downward  pull  of  muscle  demonstrating  a  tired  frown  that  usually  mounted  the  herald’s  face  .  it  felt  odd  ;  nothing  of  vileness  touched  the  buds  of  his  tongue  but  a  frightening  thrill  of  adrenaline  when  lips  connect  .

the  vastaya  could  taste  the  lick  of  magic  ;  it  was  metal  &  strangely  hot  .  acidic  .  his  irises  highlighted  with  an  orange  hue  as  he  clutched  onto  viktor  with  a  fraction  of  his  strength  .  a  sultry  rumble  echoed  through  his  throat  ,  shaking  the  deep  pitches  of  his  throat  &  scratching  his  voice  as  he  uttered  audible  satisfaction  .  he  parts  briefly  ,  canines  gusting  the  hem  of  herald  savior’s  lips  .

❝  y’  taste  good  ,  vik’  .  ❞

another  hand  dismounts  &  grips  the  white  &  black  of  her  hair  ,  jerking  her  skull  forward  .  his  lips  captured  hers  ,  ignoring  her  feeble  attempts  to  stop  his  razor  sharp  teeth  from  making  her  precious  lips  bleed  .  he  wanted  to  carnally  taste  her  blood  ;  taste  the  fucker  who  wanted  him  cold  .  he  wanted  to  make  her  swollen  .
