17. “Looks like we’ll be trapped for a while…”

FUCK tumblr for deleting the first version of this post… and I guess this is pre relationship, oops

CW: Claustrophobia, Jaskier has a panic attack

~~

“Looks like we’ll be trapped for a while,” Geralt said as he hung up the emergency phone in the elevator. The only other person, a janitor, simply whimpered and buried his hands into his short brown hair. As Geralt watched, the other man’s breathing started to get faster, his limbs visibly shaking.

Cursing to himself, Geralt got to his knees in front of the other man, ignoring how his knees protested the action.

“Is there something I can do to help?” Was the first thing he asked, recognizing the signs of a budding panic attack; he was familiar enough with them himself. When the man reached out one trembling hand, Geralt took it without hesitation, squeezing slightly. “I’ve got you. You’re safe, I promise.”

The words seemed to help, and every so often the man would give Geralt’s hand a squeeze, as if to remind himself that he wasn’t alone. Geralt would squeeze back each time, watching as the man’s shoulders relaxed each time. After several long minutes, the man finally took a deep, shuddering breath, relaxing just a little. He lifted his head to scrub at his eyes, and Geralt finally caught a glimpse of his embroidered name tag: “Julian”

“Thank you, I’m sorry I just really hate elevators, or just small spaces in general, and—” “Julian” began speaking, and Geralt quickly focused on him. Their eyes met, and for a second there was silence. Then Julian snatched his hand away, quickly climbing to his feet. “I’m sorry, Mr. Bellegarde! I didn’t mean to, that is, thank you but I’m sorry you had to see that!” He began babbling. Geralt rolled his eyes as he got to his feet with a groan.

“It’s fine, panic attacks happen,” he assured the other, fixing his suit just to have something to do with his hands. “If you hadn’t been there, I might have panicked as well.”

“Please don’t lie,” Julian said, almost petulantly. Geralt shrugged, but let it go. The elevator was silent for a bit, though it was clear, at least to Geralt, that Julian was brimming with nervous energy.

“They said half an hour,” Geralt offered, hopefully helpfully. Judging by Julian’s groan, it wasn’t helpful at all. Well… he’d just have to distract him. “So tell me about yourself, Julian.”

just the latest in a long line of nerfs aimed to disourage ppl from using horse emblem. it remains to be seen how skills like reposition will be affected by those tiles, but honestly the first thing that came to mind when i saw that was that we might see assist skills like shove or smite become more viable again as a way to bypass the movement penalty.

of course there’s always dancer support, wings of mercy, escape route etc. for every one way nintendo and IS try to slow down horse emblem, theres like 5 ways around it.

Thank you!! This is from the very creatively named document: “Geraskier Tastetest lube.” Where roommates Geralt and Jaskier taste test flavored lube.

Jaskier grinned, even as he adjusted the camera again, until he was finally content with how he and Geralt were framed in the video. “We, my very best friend in the whole wide world, will be testing flavored lube!”

Next to him Geralt choked on his mouthful of water, eyes wide. Jaskier hurriedly patted him on the back, rubbing soothing circles as Geralt gasped for breath, his face bright red. It took Jaskier several seconds for his own words to register.

azura on armor emblem is extremely viable since she can provide guidance and dancer support, and i’d definitely recommend giving that a try. i do think she is best used on flier emblem thanks to her hone fliers skill, but she’ll do fine on either.

Yes! Spark (well, sparking) is in my nsfw smut fic!!

unfortunately not everyone knows how to play or build competitively viable units.

there is a specific idea behind it. basically, true brave units are the top 4 units in the previous CYL ranking, so

brave lyn

brave ike

brave roy

brave lucina

units who ranked highly in the previous CYL poll, but not in the top 2 for the men or womens sides are not technically brave units, but they’re usually about as strong as them so we usually say they got the “CYL treatment”. that includes units like sigurd and eirika for example. both ranked pretty highly end up getting fully functional default kits as well as very high stats.

no problem.
