Going Out (Valdemar x Vulgora, The Arcana)
The sky is grey, covered with storm clouds, and the ground is wet from the morning condensation. Today is the only day Valdemar wanted to go out, the weather being perfect for their aesthetic. "LISTEN. I'll give you a hundred for it. That shit is NOT worth five hundred." Vulgora exclaims, slamming their fist down on a merchant's counter. Valdemar notices the commotion and quietly walks over, looming over Vulgora's shoulder, noticing the stethoscope under the glass counter. "I must agree. Five hundred for such a poorly made medical tool? As a medical professional, such a poorly made tool could risk an inaccurate diagnosis.""YEAH! WHAT THEY SAID!"Valdemar sighs, going back to looking at the tool bags on display. The merchant, clearly exhausted, scoffs."Fine. Whatever. A hundred."Vulgora grins, feeling awfully proud of themself for being able to not only bargain something to a much lower price but also being able to do it in front of Valdemar."You want it, babe?" Vulgora turns back to Valdemar. But they wandered off. As usual. Vulgora scoffs, though not upset, and storms out of the shop to look for Valdemar. It's not too long after leaving the store that Vulgora finds them, in a dark alley watching the eels swimming in the canal. "THERE YOU ARE!""Here I am."Valdemar looks up at Vulgora, though they do cast a longing glance back towards the eels. They love how they'll fight to eat anything that hits the water… they sigh, seemingly longingly."I suppose we should get back to shopping, hm?" Vulgora grabs their arm and pulls them back to the main roads; they soon interlace their arm with them in return. "BABE. THAT MERCHANT TOTALLY WAS GONNA GIVE ME THAT WEIRD TUBE THING FOR A HUNDRED.""I don't doubt you. Though, I don't need a new one currently. Thank you for your effort, though."Vulgora puffs up their chest, pulling Valdemar closer to their side."YEAH, I know. It was SO EASY. That guy didn't even put up a FIGHT. I'm just THAT terrifying to these PUNY mortals!"Valdemar can't help but snicker behind their hand, that merchant wasn't at all terrified, but they do like to encourage Vulgora. They're cute when they brag."Oh yes. Utterly terrified. Goodness, I couldn't have done that myself." They adjust their wide brimmed hat. But they stop in confusion when Vulgora comes to a halt, staring like a gaping fish."SERIOUSLY!? BABE, YOU TOTALLY COULD! YOU'RE LIKE, THE SCARIEST PERSON EVER!"Valdemar smiles fondly, a delicate hand over where their heart would be."Aren't you sweet? You flatter me." They continue walking with Vulgora, arm in arm. Of course, Valdemar knows they're terrifying. They're an awful person, almost everyone knows that."IM BEING SO FUCKING HONEST!""Yes yes, I'm aware. Thank you, dear."Vulgora throws an arm around Valdemar’s bony middle."YOU SEE THIS," they boast to a random commoner, "THEYRE MINE."Valdemar smiles adoringly, not minding the odd looks the crowd around them gives. They know most people don't like either of them, but neither of them care.The rest of the day continues with Vulgora haggling merchants, buying everything Valdemar even just looks at, and bragging about having Valdemar by their sight.Now, as the two of them sit at home, undressed in bed, Valdemar excitedly examines their finds and gifts.Valdemar gasps, pulling out a leather box from a bag filled with ruby encrusted scalpels."When did you get this?""While you wandered off for the like, TEN HUNDREDTH time, I saw this jewelry maker and MADE them put rubies in the handles of those sharp things.""Scalpels, dear.""YEAH, THOSE! And so they did, and now you have them. Because I thought you'd REALLY LIKE THEM."Valdemar can't help the wide smile that forms on their face. They just love how eccentric Vulgora is, and how much they care. They do really like the fancy scalpels."Oh they're just gorgeous…" Valdemar sighs, their fingers grazing the blades. "Well, I don't have a gift for you. But… I suppose there's something else I could give you."Vulgora smiles as Valdemar’s hungry eyes meet their own. They both lean in, meeting each other halfway in a kiss.
