Pre-Campaign: Lyrei escorting Niamh back in heavy weather.

Niamh didn't like this plan. She didn't like the idea of Lyrei going in alone, of Lyrei going anywhere alone, and she contemplated trying to hide her distate, but there would be no point in that, especially when considering how intently Lyrei was watching her. Even with Niamh situated toward the front of their horse and Lyrei sitting directly behind her, Niamh could feel the weight of Lyrei's gaze penetrating through her and into the core of her very being, reading her every micromovement with ease. She had never been able to keep anything from Lyrei, at least, nothing close to the surface, and her frustration and fear was boiling at the very top.

Lyrei's hands were situated on Niamh's hips, simultaneously holding her close and keeping her steady as they rode. With the minimal distance between them, Niamh could feel the gentle breeze that accompanied Lyrei's locks blowing at the back of her neck, and some of the tension inside her eased at the sensation, but not enough. Not nearly enough, and as they drew closer and closer to their destination, Niamh felt the ticking in her chest wind tighter and tighter.

They hadn't exactly argued about the mission. Niamh knew what needed to be done, and she recongized that Lyrei was best suited to the task, and she didn't like it one bit. But Lyrei kept periodicially squeezing her hips, as though she were communicating her intention through her touch alone, and Niamh knew she wasn't mad at Lyrei, because she could never really be mad at Lyrei. Even if she could very well be cross that this was happening whatsoever.

Happy Lyrei

(Because I throw her in a blender too many times in my campaign, apparently lol)

This was a part in the D&D campaign that I am running. Gin, a child, got overwhelmed in an encounter and ran to take shelter away from everyone on top of a roof. Eldeyr and Niamh searched for her and eventually found her on the roof. Niamh was short so Eldeyr held her up so the two can speak to each other.
