When he saw her there, alive, he couldn’t stop it from coming out.

“By the Alchemy, I was terrified you were killed by a rock lion. Or a sand sharks. Or Balthazar’s army got you in some way. Or the dragon!”

He was trembling, all of his fears and anxieties tumbling out because of her. He felt like an idiot, giving into all the fear over logic that she would take care of herself.

But remembering all of their history together fueled it. Oh, he loved her so much.

“You could have been killed and turned into Awakened! I heard about all of the Inquest down there. Even Pixi’s crazy ex-boyfriend got changed!”

She came closer to him, her eyes narrowed as they bore into his.

He half expected her smack him over the head and tell him to shut up and calm down for once in his life.

Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down towards her, pressing her face into his neck. Without a second of hesitation, he wrapped his arms around her.

“I’m sorry for frightening you, Rachytt,” she murmured in his embrace.

He hugged her tighter with a crack of a smile, “Hey, were you being the stupid one this time, Phin?”

She gently smacked him in the back of his head.

He let a wide smile etch itself onto his face. With her in his arms and face in the crook of his neck, relief flooded his bones.

As soon as his eyes opened, a groan escaped his lips. 

His head was pounding. Lights were too bright. 

What in the world happened? Last thing he knew, he was fiddling with an asura gate, a random flash of light, and a multidimensional fuse blew.

Then all he saw was darkness.

He dragged a hand over his face, groaning yet again. He felt like death and the Eternal Alchemy brought him back to torture him for the rest of eternity.

Wait. 

He stopped, staring at his hand. Was he concussed? Was he dreaming? Did he fall into a coma and his brain was in an alternate world?

There were five fingers on that hand. That couldn’t be his hand.

That would be absolutely preposterous. Asura didn’t have five fingers at all. Sometimes they would have two or four because of accidents, but not five.

There were engineering scars and calluses that looked familiar, but stretched awkwardly across the pale skin. The nails were chipped in exactly the same places, despite not being pointed at all.

His hands trembled.

It started with a cough several weeks after dealing with the miasma in Lion’s Arch. 

A simple cough that he figured was just a tickle in his throat that would go away with a sip of water and a night’s rest.

It didn’t go away.

He coughed every time he was working on projects in the lab and in the field. He could feel his lungs rattle in his chest at every disruption. 

His heart pounded violently in his chest and head throbbed with indiscriminate pains as he made his rounds to tweak and tinker with arrow carts and trebuchets. He powered through it, as it didn’t seem as important as helping the Vigil in very important situations.

He continued to think nothing of it until he coughed up blood. Several little specks surrounded by phlegm, stark against the grey skin of his hand. By that point, the concern seemed to escalate as the day went on.

He must’ve lost consciousness at dinner time.

When he found himself laying in bed sometime later, struggling to breathe normally and joined by a concerned Frytt, he thought that he needed to take care of himself more. 

I only have two that fit this description:

2.  Rachytt: He’s afraid of necromancer minions because of childhood and he’s convinced charr are going to eat him because he’s much smaller than they are.  Scarred for life, unfortunately.

1.  What race are they? How does it affect their personality and views, if at all?Dorian Ahimoth is a human.  He’s mostly wary of charr, and every other race confuses him.  Mostly sylvari.

Rachytt is an asura, but he doesn’t look down on other races.  He’s afraid of charr, mostly because he’s small enough to be eaten by them.  It’s probably just paranoia, though.

11. Do they have any family? What’s their relationship like with them?Dorian’s family is huge and completely bad news.  His large, noble family made their money doing shady, criminal activities, so practically everyone isn’t great to get along with.  The only person in his family that Dorian cares about is his older sister, Lilith.  Dorian considers his best friend, Anselm, his brother. They've been through a lot together, and they've been friends for a very long time.

Rachytt’s family consists of his parents and “adopted brothers” Frytt and Lapis.  He gets along fine with his parents and Frytt is his best friend.  Lapis, with his creepy demeanor and constant summoning of minions, he and Rachytt are not on good terms (Rachytt is afraid of dead things: risen and ghosts). He also has a cousin named Pixi.

19.  List 5 of their favorite things, can be anything from food to places to activities, etc etc

Dorian:

Anselm

Kairi

Shadow Fiends

Books/Reading

Safety

Rachytt:

Phinoa

Rifles

Turrets

Stuff

Tinkering

23.  Give them an AU, any AU.

MODERN HUMAN, NO MAGIC AU

Dorian is student in Mortuary science (the study of deceased bodies through mortuary work), at a college that Kairi is at (who’s earning her PhD in Psychology), so he could be a mortician.  His family makes a lot of money in illegal activity, like in the mob.
