Made in procreate, October 2024.

I was tagged by @whumpsday to find Please, Thank, Hardly, and Softly - thanks. :)

Please

‘I don’t know.’ His voice broke. ‘Please just stop. I’m not a good person, and I know I deserve this, but I promise you, I’m not what you say I am. Please.’

Thank

A hand made its way into his (now somewhat narrower) field of vision as he straightened up with a groan. It belonged to Radomil, who was very kindly offering him a cup of water.

‘Here you go,’ the spellsword said, giving him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. ‘Nice job, Mures. Thanks for that; you’re a good friend.’

Hardly

Besides, her old friend was right; she knew when in the heat of the moment, she had a strong habit of disregarding the potential for death. Dying in aid of a noble cause was hardly a terrible thought, but she had no wish to abandon the others. She only mistrusted her memory to keep that in mind when battle approached.

Softly

‘Wrong,’ said Damian softly. Releasing his prisoner’s hair, he wrapped a hand around his skinny throat. ‘Anything I do to you is better than you deserve.’
