1001 smiles

I'm not crying, you are This is placed on the day after their first kiss.

I don't think it's just me, but when I was younger, whenever I hooked up with somebody (casual or not) I absolutely dreaded the day after, dying of insecurity about whether the other person meant whatever happened the night before or not (in my case the insecurity was often well placed lol).

Vallaslins aren't for beauty

I'm 17, and I haven't gotten my vallaslin yet. That's not too bad, very few people have been judged ready this young, anyway. Except Adahlen. He's undergoing the ritual, right now. They waited far too long for him, if you ask me. He's always been ready. Always mature, focused, judicious. And here I am, painting my face as if I were playing with dolls.

I'm 17, and even if they hadn't declined my request for a vallaslin twice already, it wouldn't have mattered. I still don't know what God I should choose for myself. All the other girls and boys in the clan have chosen theirs. Adahlen has been saying he wanted Dirthamen since he was six years old. And here I am, painting June's symbol on my skin only because I think it might look pretty on my features.

I'm 17, and despite it all I can't wait to get my vallaslin, whenever that may be. My mother says I'm a late bloomer. That I just have to be patient and everything will come at the right time. Well, surprise! I'm very bad at waiting. At this very moment my best friend is suffering through one thousand needles to become officially an adult. And here I am, hidden in the dark, because I haven't even had the patience to wait for him outside the Keeper's tent to see what he looks like once the ritual is done. How can they hope I'll have enough patience to wait for my own time to come?

Pretty nice dreams

The morning after, it takes Davrin half a second to understand what the dream was about.

Davrin: So… do you want us to kiss? Ayanne: What? Davrin: Adahlen and I… I know you've been fantasizing about the three of us. Ayanne: O__O How do you know?? Davrin: *chuckles* You've been quite obvious… Ayanne: Oh Creators… It's just a fantasy, don't worry about it. Davrin: I'm not worried. You can invite him. Ayanne: Davrin, no, it's just — Davrin: Imagine four hands all over you… Ayanne: Davrin!! NO.

BONUS: Ok, let's be serious, Ayanne really doesn't need to add another layer to her already multi-faceted relationship with Adahlen. So this is gonna stay a fantasy. But would Davrin endlessly tease her about it? Oh, you can bet he will :)

Oh, she loved to dance

With extreme emotion I present you: teenage!Ayanne dancing the hula absolutely very original(TM) traditional dalish dances <3333

Ayanne Aldwir / study

Keeper Adahlen / study #02

There are some expressions that are inherently Adahlen’s to me, and this is one of them.

Less hot-kind-of-serious and more normal this time. I love him even more like this.

Davrin study 2/7

You can see I’m having fun when I start being over productive XD <3

(the official excuse is that I’m 3 days late to the party, but shhhh, don’t tell it to my coworkers)

Timelapse again under the cut :)
