#da musing

Davrin uses teaching Emmrich how to whittle (at his request; Emmrich is very interested in Davrin's craft and wants to spend time with him) to be an absolute menaceTM in the least subtle way possible, looming over him so he has to look up when he talks to him, taking his hands to "guide them", every "wood" joke and innuendo you can think of - but his favourite is crowding close behind him and muttering corrections and praise directly into his ear and then playing innocent when Emmrich turns to look at him and shoo him off (Emmrich knows his game, and is very open to playing it, though Davrin did lay off when Emmrich cut himself accidentally; he felt bad about that one).

I think if Manfred dies, because it's canon that Assan sniffs around Emmrich's room looking for him (and Emmrich brushes it off as him always being in there just looking for crumbs), he starts noting how sad Emmrich is and starts bullying his way into his personal space or plopping his giant head in his lap demanding to be pet as a way to comfort him. And Emmrich shoos him off at first, but then starts to slowly look forward to him coming around.

I'm back in the rarepair hole, but Davrin/Emmrich goes hard thematically and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't.

Emmrich/Davrin and hand kisses are on my mind; Emmrich would go to town, delicately pressing his lips to every little callus and scar Davrin's collected over a lifetime of working with his hands, trailing down to the pulse point at his wrist and smiling at him. Davrin would enjoy kissing Emmrich's palms and holding the both of them to his face, savouring the warmth of his hands in contrast with the cool metal of the gold rings that adorn his fingers.

Emmrich/Davrin + Assan is the dynamic of two dads who didn't want the animal, but Davrin is the dad who didn't want the dog, but now takes it out for walks every morning and talks to it like he would a person and feeds it from his plate, and Emmrich is the dad that didn't want the cat, but it sleeps on his side of the bed every night and is constantly under foot and he snaps at it when it trips him (but would get mad if anyone ELSE scolded it).
