★ for Alexei and Var?
Alexei and Varyt;
Fiercely protective, a maelstrom of vicious instincts, Varyt Bladeleaf dove through each mission with the determination of a dying man, his entire heart poured into each moment and breath.
A fury of claws in combat, raised voices in disputes, and raucous laughter with friends. In Alexei’s history his family had frowned upon undue emotional expression, yet Bladeleaf was nothing but that, nothing but the entirety of his heart on display. Bared teeth in defense, fluffed hackles in fear, and gruff mischief in peace. It took courage for such blatant vulnerability – and even though Alexei knew himself a fool, he was not fool enough to mistake the man’s vulnerability for anything but a strength.
