#henreth

Light creaking sounds could be heard in the captain’s quarters as the man paced from one side of the room to the other. His bare feet sinking into a thick, luxurious rug he picked out from a market in Stormwind just before heading to Booty Bay. Suddenly he paused, squishing his toes into the thick fibers of the vibrant carpet as he thought. As he drug both his hands down the sides of his face he spoke out quietly to himself, “I have never met any group of privateers or another captain to pass up on a night of drinkies.” Henreth walked over to the window and delicately brushed his fingertips across one of the blooms of his prized violets. “Something strange is going on, my beauties. Something strange and something terrible, no doubt.” he said quietly, speaking to his flowers this time. His attention turned to the flag of another ship dancing in the moonlight, noting the shift in the direction of the wind. The gusts picked up speed and caused his ship to rock ever so gently within the harbor. His hand drifted from the bloom to his chin, giving it a thoughtful rub with a hum. “I should probably check in with Lady Holt about this.” He made his way over to his bed and before long he was under his blanket. Leaning toward his beside table and snuffing out the flame of his lantern, Henreth repeated what he says every night before closing his eyes, “Goodnight, my darling. I hope I made you proud, today.” 

Instructions: Fill out the questions about your muse, repost don’t reblog, and tag as many people as you want.

1) What does your muse smell like?  He smells of sweet herbs and flowers due to growing them being one of his beloved hobbies. Planters full of flowers and herbs line the windows of his captain quarters.

2) How often does your muse bathe/shower? If not a full bath, he sponge bathes while aboard the ship, daily. The ship docks along the coasts for trade deals and exchanges quite frequently so having plenty of water aboard the ship is not an issue.

3) Does your muse have any tattoos or piercings?  He has the tattoo of an anchor on his shoulder that is coiled in rose vines.

4) Any body movement quirks (e.g. tapping heel, shaking knee)? He is quite articulate with his hands when he speaks.

5) What do they sleep in? He sleeps in a rather comfy bed in the captain’s quarters of The Black Ranger. Very rarely will he sleep in a tavern or inn.

6) What’s their favourite piece of clothing? He loves clothing, considering he crafts fine clothing during long nights when he is unable to sleep. He is rather gifted with his hands. Picking a favorite article of clothing would be impossible.

7) What do they do when they wake up? The first thing Henreth does is water his herbs and flowers as his morning tea steeps. Once he’s had his cup of tea, he gets cleaned up and steps outside of his quarters to check on his crew and his ship.

8) How do they sleep? Position?  He doesn’t sleep too well since the death of his dear friend and captain, Captain Drakus Kolvar. When he does sleep he has nightmares of the night he couldn’t do much to save the man after being injured in the process. However, when he does sleep, he sleeps on his back mostly, but occasionally on his sides. He does occasionally sleepwalk to the galley and eat whatever his hands can find. The crew has learned to lock most of the food away and leave him out a plate of leftovers.

9) What do their hands feel like? Despite his cleanliness and his refined behavior, Henreth is a hard working ship captain. He gets his hands dirty, just like the rest of the crew considering he was only a the First Mate of the original captain of The Black Ranger. After the brutal murder of Captain Drakus Kolvar, the ship passed to him, the only thing that changed about him was his title.
