Deekin gave a small startled yelp, followed by a giggle as he was lifted through the air. Delighted to be shown some affection, he wrapped his arms around her neck until he was set down.

☺my muse helping your muse fall asleep

It had been a long time since he had slept outside the shelter of solid walls, Elithrar thought. Below them, the sky was clear, the sparkling stars promised a cooler night. Of course, they could have gone back to the academy. But the journey was long, and the snow made it difficult to progress. And then they no longer had crystals of focus. Elithrar should have shown more foresight. But reprimands now were useless.

Under the shelter of the tent, he felt on one side Deekin, on the other Dhana groping against him. Sighing, he adjusted the blankets, pulling on them the two bearskins that he had managed to transport. The smell of the beast that emanated from it was not so unpleasant, in the end. Even if it was not frankly what he loved.

He felt that none of them were sleeping. But the cold was not the only one responsible, he suspected. He also wondered what the others were doing. Dorna and Xanos had gone to explore the Nether Mountains on their side. Perhaps they had returned. As for Mischa, she had to watch over the academy. The elf doubted however that she had a better night than them. The fact that Ayala was also there relieved him a little. These and many other questions were circling in his mind, preventing him from reaching a state of calm sufficient to rest.

But the question remained: was Master Drogan going to recover? He turned again, also unable to find sleep. He found himself nose to nose with Dhana, her eyes glistening in the darkness.

‘You can’t sleep?’ he whispered. ‘The young woman shook her head, her eyes bright and her throat knotted. Her expression saddened him. Elithrar took his hands out of the blankets and whispered some words he thought he had forgotten. It’s been so long…. He didn’t expect it to work. And yet, three small luminous globes appeared. One was purple, the second yellow and the last pale blue.

Deekin uttered a small squeak of surprise and stood up to watch the globes spin around Elithrar’s hands. “That’s a nice thing!” The elf smiles a little at Deekin’s reaction.

“When I couldn’t sleep, my mother….” Elithrar paused and contemplated Dhana, his pale face illuminated by the dim light emanating from the spheres.

“You have hidden your talents as a magician from us! Xanos would be surprised,” she says, shared between fun and the desire to ask him more about his “skinny” arcane talents.

“It must be pretty much the only spell I can throw. Not enough to shadow the great Xanos”.

Dhana chuckled, while Deekin tried to catch one of the sphere. His clawed hand closed only on emptiness, the globe escaping him. The sun elf smile at that sight and said:

“I can’t promise you that everything will be alright…Even if I would love to.”

He made a small pause, as the lightning pulsed between his hands, dancing around it wrists.

“But we’re doing the best we can. Master Drogan prepared us for anything and I’m pretty sure he was also aware of the potential perils. I’m sure he will be ok”.

The silent took place again, as Dhana smiled. It was a small one, far from her usual large grin, but Elithrar still count it as a small victory.

“I may take your word on it.” She frowned then her face relaxed again, but her expression remained serious.

“I hope we’re enough to what’s lie ahead”.

“We have to”.

3) What do you think about polyamorous relationships, and why?

That’s a long word

5) What does successful look like for you?

Hmmm does surviving every fight I’ve been in count? If so, that.

9) Share three traits you like about yourself and say why.

Ask my muse some challenging questions!

3. What do you think about polyamorous relationships, and why?

Valen shrugged. “It is no strange thing for some to have multiple partners within their own bounds. They can be very healthy if all within are on the same page, for lack of a better term. I, on the other hand, would make a poor candidate for polyamory, given that I’m prone to jealousy even in cases with nothing to do with romance.”

10. Are you a reflective person? Can you give an example to support your reasoning?

Disagreements:

Who is more likely to raise their voice? I feel like Dhana might, when Sand is mad he’s more like the dangerous, quietly-spoken angry. He does, however, raise his voice when panicked/frightened. Who threatens to leave but never actually does? Sand would be more likely to bluff in this aspect. Who actually keeps their word and leaves? If Sand pushes Dhana too far I think she might be the first to walk away, but I guess it depends on the situation o: Who trashes the house? Between Dhana and Sand, I think definitely Dhana xD Do either of them get physical? Nope, there’s always a better way of sorting these things out How often do they argue/disagree? Because Sand often likes to argue for argument’s sake and Dhana feels like a rebellious sort, they’re probably 50-50 on any given topic :P Who is the first to apologise? This is also something I feel is 50-50, both of them have to work around their pride and accept where they went wrong.

Sex:

Who is on top? I feel like Sand won’t have Dhana’s endurance so Dhana would more likely be on top - that’s the feeling I get, anyways Who is on the bottom? Sand would take this role but still try to remain dominant to some degree. Who has the strangest desires? Definitely Sand. Any kinks? I can see them both sharing a penchant for public exhibition (with help from invisibility spells, wards, etc) to some degree? I might be wrong, though. Who’s dominant in bed? Sand Is head ever in the equation? Absolutely, especially if they want to draw out their pleasure for as long as possible If so, who is better at performing it? Sand, he’s not known to have a silver tongue for nothing ;D Ever had sex in public? Of course, but remaining very, very careful all the while. Who moans the most? Sand, totally Who leaves the most marks? I definitely see Dhana leaving all sorts of hickies and bites and whatnot Who screams the loudest? Maybe Dhana? Who is the more experienced of the two? Sand’s got centuries of experience under his belt Do they ‘fuck’ or ‘make love’? Sand does not ‘fuck’. Nor is he likely to make love unless he’s absolutely feeling that love - he’s more likely to have sex like it’s a contest or a performance, and he always tries to find ways to have the upper hand. Rough or soft? I feel like Dhana might be rougher while Sand tries to keep things soft and subtle. How long do they usually last? ...Dhana would have him beat. XD Is protection used? Of course! Mage armor, protection from alignment, sanctuar-- oh. I mean, yeah, they make use of contraceptives either before or after. With two mages there’s always something to use in their favor. Does it ever get boring? Never. Where is the strangest place they’d have sex? They wouldn’t make it too outlandish, Sand has a reputation to upkeep. I suppose it depends on how far Dhana’s willing to go.

Family:

Do your muses plan on having children/or have children? I can’t see them having kids, but depending on how far along a romance would go, that could possibly be subject to change. If so, how many children do your muses want/have? Probably no more than one or two. Who is the favorite parent? Dhana Who is the authoritative parent? Sand Who is more likely to allow the children to have a day off school? Dhana Who lets the children indulge in sweets and junk food when the other isn’t around? I’m feeling Dhana on this but I might be wrong :P Who turns up to extra curricular activities to support their children? Totally Sand Who goes to parent teacher interviews? Sand Who changes the diapers? Poor Dhana would be stuck with this doody duty. Sand has an extremely acute sense of smell. Who gets up in the middle of the night to feed the baby? Sand, as an elf, doesn’t need sleep, so he’ll be the one to answer those cries. Who spends the most time with the children? I can see them trying to be equitable with time spent, so 50-50? Who packs their lunch boxes? Also 50-50, I think Who gives their children ‘the talk’? Sand tries, he really does. But he doesn’t use layman’s terms so the children would have to turn to Dhana to understand what the fuck he just told them xD Who cleans up after the kids? Sand would know how to get almost any stain out. Who worries the most? More likely Sand, our poor guy is an ex-hosttower mage and he’s got boundless paranoia. Who are the children more likely to learn their first swear word from? DHANA xD

Affection:

Who likes to cuddle? I’m giving this one to Dhana Who is the little spoon? Sand. He’s the little everything. Who gets naughty in the most inappropriate of places? Probably Dhana, but Sand is just as bad if he allows it :P Who struggles to keep their hands to themself?  Dhana maybe? How long can they cuddle until one becomes uncomfortable? This one I’m not sure about. Maybe an hour? Who gives the most kisses? Dhana, maybe What is their favourite non-sexual activity? Probably reading or cooking together Where is their favourite place to cuddle? In front of the fireplace Who is more likely to playfully grope the other? Dhana, but Sand would sneak one once in a while for payback How often do they get time to themselves? It depends on how often they’re running for their lives on another whirlwind adventure XD

Sleeping:

Who snores? Dhana - Sand wouldn’t make such an undignified sound If both do, who snores the loudest? Dhana, still Do they share a bed or sleep separately? They’d share a bed, assuming they’re in a romantic relationship or closely platonic If they sleep together, do they cozy up together or lay far apart? Probably far apart Who talks in their sleep? Sand doesn’t sleep, so this one goes to Dhana if she does at all What do they wear to bed? Either nothing at all, or pajamas Are either of your muses insomniacs? I guess Sand counts, since he doesn’t need sleep. Maybe Dhana too, if she continues to have nightmares Can sleeping pills be found by the bedside? For Sand? Not really. He might have a brew or a supplement to offer to Dhana if she can’t find rest though. Do they wrap their limbs around each other or just lay side by side? Side by side at first but they may end up tangled some time later Who wakes up with bed hair? Elven hair is almost always immaculate, so Dhana would definitely have the bed hair. Who wakes up first? Totally Sand Who prepares breakfast in bed for the other? Sand, if he’s feeling generous What is their favourite sleeping position? Probably the basic side-by-side or spooning. Who hogs the sheets? Dhana, but maybe Sand too Do they set an alarm each night? I’m not sure those exist in FR o: Can a television be found in their bedroom? Doesn’t exist Who has nightmares? Dhana Who has ridiculous dreams? Probably also Dhana Who sprawls out and takes up most of the bed? Also also Dhana Who makes the bed? Sand What time is bed time? Any time they feel tired after sundown Any routines/rituals before bed? Probably hygiene and general care/maintenance. Who’s the grumpiest when they wake up? Dhana, but Sand’s almost always grumpy to some degree.

Work:

Who is the busiest? Sand, he’s got a whole shop to run and a Knight Captain with a penchant for raising Cain to advise Who rakes in the highest income? Sand? I think? Are any of your muses unemployed? I’m not sure if Dhana’s work as an adventurer counts as employment but I think it does count, so neither? Who takes the most sick days? I’m not sure about this one Who is more likely to turn up late to work? Sand runs his own shop and there’s not really much of a punch in-punch out aspect for adventuring, so... neither? Maybe Sand? Who sucks up to their boss? Absolutely Sand. When he’s able to successfully stifle his sarcasm, his self-preservation makes him quite the suck-up. He’ll hate himself to some degree afterwards, though. “Gods, how ingratiating...” What are their jobs? Sand is a wizard, alchemist, shopkeep, spy, and lawyer. Dhana is an adventurer and a sorceress (maybe more?) Who stresses the most? Sand is five feet of stress with pointy ears. Do your muses enjoy or despise their careers/occupations? Sand enjoys wizarding but hates being under Nasher’s thumb. As for Dhana, it would depend on what her current task is? Are your muses financially stable? I’d say... yes, most likely

Home:

Who does the washing? I can imagine like any well-balanced couple, they’d take turns Who takes out the trash? Also taking turns Who does the ironing? Doesn’t exist? I think? Who does the cooking? Sand’s cooking is hit or miss tbh and I’m not sure what kind of skill Dhana has Who is more likely to burn the house down just trying? .........That’s a good question Who is messier? Sand’s neat and orderly so that rules him out. Dhana maybe? Who leaves the toilet roll empty? Neither Who leaves their dirty clothes on the floor? Neither? I think? Who forgets to flush the toilet? NEITHER Who is the prankster around the house? Dhana 100% Who loses the car keys when it comes time to go somewhere? Cars don’t exist Who mows the lawn? What lawn? :P Who answers the telephone? What’s a telephone? Who does the vacuuming? Whaa? Who does the groceries? Both of them Who takes the longest to wash? Probably Sand, he’s very thorough. Who spends the most time in the bathroom? Maybe Dhana?

Miscellaneous:

Near the coast Do they live in the city or in the country? City Do they enjoy their surroundings? Sand will always find something to complain about, so maybe not What’s their song? Probably the Love Song from Dragon Age but that’s subject to change the more Dhana and Sand interact What do they do when they’re away from each other? I imagine they’ll think about each other while trying to keep themselves occupied. They’ll read or attend to business or forge on ahead with whatever’s got them busy, but they’ll keep each other in their thoughts. Where did they first meet? I think in the market? Dhana was running away from someone? But that was a couple Sand RP blogs ago How did they first meet? ^^^ Who spends the most money when out shopping? Maybe Sand? He’s more likely to get the expensive stuff because it’s a quality he can be satisfied with.

Dhana, maybe, if Tomi takes it too far Who trashes the house? Tomi Do either of them get physical? Nope How often do they argue/disagree?

Who moans the most? Tomi Who leaves the most marks? Definitely Dhana if they get a little too playful Who screams the loudest? ABSOLUTELY TOMI Who is the more experienced of the two?
