#khouri

@keatish drew some amazing art of Navidae and Khouri from my book Epithymy in The Duskriven Chronicles! Definitely check out his page for info on his commissions, and pick up a copy of Epithymy on Amazon today <3

23. What is your character like when it comes to school? What subjects are they good/bad at? Do they get in trouble a lot or are well behaved?

Ruari: Ruari didn’t really go to school or have tutors, but he’s shit at math. Like, he can muddle through it but he HATES it, its actual punishment to him to make him do addition and division and all that. He’s pretty into reading though, so he’s good at that sort of thing. I doubt he’d be very articulate trying to analyze texts or anything like that, but he understands themes and such pretty well. If you ask Roisin, they’ll say Ruari is the worst student they’ve ever had to deal with.

39. When people look at your character, is there some assumption they might make about them just by appearance? Is that assumption correct?

Twins: That they’re snooty, I’d think, or that they’re pretty ostentatious. They dress like the nobility they aren’t and I think when people look at them, they see that the twins are trying really, really hard to look and act above their station. It’s very correct to think that, though the reasons why are a bit more involved than first assumptions would assume. You’ll have to read Petrichor to see why OvO

27. If your character was going to get arrested, what would be the most likely reason for it?

Corbet: He has been arrested in the past for getting caught stealing in a town, but he broke out of the prison cell and ran before anything could be done to him. He’s likely to be arrested (cough) for murder too. :)

Khouri: God, what wouldn’t he get arrested for? Stealing, breaking into places he shouldn’t be, fucking in public, being a Drow in public… the list goes on and on. Thankfully Sorin provides some much needed self-control with him.

And we’ve got fanart of Navidae and Khouri from The Duskriven Chronicles!! This beautiful art was drawn by @dankbaguette as a gift, and I gotta say, I’m absolutely in love with everything about it.

09. Do they have a favorite season? What about a favorite holiday?

Breena (how did i forget Breena on that list omfg im horrible): Breena, despite being a denizen of the Unseelie, is a spring girl through and through. She loves the promise of warmth and the thaw from winter, and she finds it so comforting to be able to walk around barefoot in the soft grasses, something she hates doing down in the winter court. Her favorite holiday is probably the spring equinox since it means winter is finally over. There are also small celebrations held on it, even in the winter court, and she finds it really fun to hang around on the periphery, soaking in the pleasant mood though she rarely joins in herself.

13. What are your character’s sleeping habits? Heavy or light sleeper? Blanket stealer? One that always rolls onto the floor? Pushes their lover onto the floor? Sleep talker or walker?

Viorel: Viorel is a heavy sleeper and would steal the blankets in a heartbeat if he were strong enough to wrestle them away from Ari’s fat ass. He doesn’t tend to move around in his sleep unless he’s having a nightmare, and even then he’s more likely to hurt himself flailing than by falling onto the floor. He sleeps like the dead otherwise, no talking or walking.

Khouri: Khouri is ETERNALLY COLD like all the time cold. He’s half-drow and it makes it really hard for him to regulate his body temperature, so if there are blankets to be had, he will bundle himself in them. The only way to prevent it is to cuddle him so he can leech body heat that way. He’s a relatively light sleeper. He doesn’t quite sleep-sleep like a human does, but partially dozes in a semi-conscious state most times, so he keeps fairly alert if he feels he’s sleeping in an unsafe place. Talks occasionally if he’s really worn out, but otherwise, is fairly calm.

Corbet: Corbet is a light sleeper unless he trusts where he’s sleeping, and even then he can be pretty easy to wake up should Ruari decide to get out of the bed without him. He doesn’t move much when he sleeps unless it’s to roll over, but he might push Ruari out of bed if he gets surprised while sleeping. Given Ruari’s propensity to watch him sleep, I’m sure that happens more often than either of them would admit.
