One can never bebored with Jooyeon near, she’s once thought. She hasn’t been wrong – how couldshe? The older woman is ever surprising and innovative, and she’s alwayspresenting a new challenge to Seren, whether it is just another regular sliceof the life of humans on this world, or something that feels foreign even tothem. The elf has to admit (albeit rather begrudgingly) that she does enjoy it.The enthusiasm with which the older woman takes life is intoxicating, and shecan feel the remnants of that rush for days after they meet up, no matter forhow short a period they do.

At first, she doesn’t even know what to say – how can one beexpected to answer to such an excuse? Trouble is, like Varric once said, themore ridiculous a story was, the more likely it was to be true, if for no otherreason, at least because no one would be able to conceive such a foolish lie. “That’s how you know it’s true! I couldnever put that in a book. Too unlikely.” The memory of the dwarf’s smileover the game of Wicked Grace, his lined face and kind expression were enoughto bring the sting of tears in her eyes, and a little tremor in her voice whenshe finally spoke.

She’d given up on colouringher hair a few days past, and now she couldn’t help but think of the irony ofit all – with the cloud of flour that had covered everything as a result oftheir rather petty attempt to bake, it seemed as though she was a statue,carved entirely of white marble. The result wasn’t quite as definitive for hercompanion, her dark hair standing out against the powdery mask, but it wascomical nonetheless, and Seren had a hard time focusing on the question atfirst – she needed to wait for Jooyeon to repeat it. But it wasn’t somethingnew, not really. She had the attention span of a child, so easily distractedthat everyone that knew the first thing about her was aware of the need torepeat themselves.

Send ‘➹’ and I’ll put up my muse’s current thought

What’s good?

[ jvpal ]   The water levels continued rising as the two went further into the deep end of the pool, their fingers interlocked in an attempt to not lose each other and stay at a constant speed. Once the water had come up to their collar bones both of their eyes met each others, knowing exactly what came next. It was a game, honestly, and she was determined to win. “Bet you I can stay under longer.” And as the words left her lips she darted below the water, the other girl following immediately. The first ten seconds were easy, the next ten made it hard to stay still, and she quickly realized if Nari didn’t quit soon, she would end up losing. Pulling a secret move her fingers left the girls to be brought up to her cheeks, pulling her body against her own on impact. It was quite awkward, with both of their cheeks being puffed out, nevertheless; she still pressed her lips against the youngers, hoping the startling action would cause her to gasp up for air.
