 got Gay abt josephine/ruivë lmao
thinks abt how when u first talk to josephine she greets you in elvhen but then is like “yeah but that’s about all i know maybe you could teach me more i would like to know more about dalish culture but uh that’s not what we’re here to talk about really”Â
ruivë teaching her more words…. and culture stuff….. after they start being A Thing…. josephine going out of her way to find like… old books and little bits of scattered information bc they know how much ruivë cares about their culture and how much dalish pride they have…… gets them like…. a pendant commissioned from an orlesian jeweler that looks like halla antlers bc she finds out that ruivë’s tattoos are a gesture to ghilan’nain…….
one day they’re just laying around josephine’s room or something, josephine’s reading a book and ruivë is reading through some letters or fiddling with some crafting materials or something and they look up and are like hey there’s. a word i want to teach you.
and josephine’s eyes get all lit up like they do at getting to learn new things and at them sharing their culture and opening up and whatever…. and they sit down on the bed with josephine and are just like “ok repeat after me” and then they teach her… how to say…. ma vhenan….. and josephine says it a bunch and is like “alright so what’s vhenan mean then, ma is a possessive article, and the word is part of the word for your society before the imperium, right? elvhenan? so what does it” and then she stops and ruivë’s laughing at her and they’re just like. reaches out and takes josephine’s hand and puts it on their chest and is like “right there. ma vhenan.” and josephine takes like two seconds to recover before teasing about how that was possibly the first time ruivë had managed to be actually romantic and were they taking lessons from someone
just…. thinkin about josephine getting Really Into dalish culture more and more and just really opening up to it and just finding it all really beautiful and fascinating and revelling in exploring it with this strange small elf who has unexpectedly become so important to her……..Â
i must stop……….how did this happen 2 me……..
