the pair follow iraestra as she leads them down a quiet path. afhiri follows much like a pet on the heel of their master, sticking close as to not get lost in her momentary distractions, moments where she stops and stands and stares as something draws her attention. gale follows behind, with intent to bring afhiri back to focus whenever that happens.

gale keeps his voice low, constantly aware of how much attention he may draw to them as he speaks of the subjects at hand. "while i have not dabbled extensively in the darker side of the weave, i have no qualms with necromancy itself. no magic is inherently evil, and i quite respect your skills in the art of the dead." his words are honest. despite how much he may dislike the necromancer, he wouldn't ignore a wizards skill.

"it is the art of shadow. i am rather confident that i could excel at such magics, if mystra did not forbid it." he winces for a moment, a jerk reaction. just the thought alone of divulging excites him, but fills him with guilt all the same. to disobey mystra once was enough.

his brow furrows hard as she speaks of disrespect, "using shar's weave is a disrespect to mystra. if her eyes could reach here, i would imagine she would not be kind to you." gale has spoken with mystra on these matters in the past, he has questioned her rulings and her laws, to ask permission to touch where no other wizard could, to expand his horizons and be as no other, but she always denied him. if she could deny him while loving him, she would cut iraestra from the weave in a moment for touching the shadows.

"but what mystra doesn't know doesn't hurt her, i suppose."

Iraestra watches the little display with an amused tilt of her head. Ah, lovers then, if the cottoned voice and doe eyes are anything to go by. She tucks such information away in case she should have need of a soft spot to prod later on. The two of them certainly make for an interesting pair.

"Come," she beckons them when Afhiri has quite calmed herself. For now she avoids the main entrance hall, instead choosing to slip into a side corridor. The less attention they garner, the better. Iraestra has no desire to stop for idle chatter with any who may want to steal too many precious moments of her time with their inane needs. Especially should they have the bad luck to run into Ketheric himself.

— Ketheric. Even the thought of the name is enough to make her seethe. No, it would not be wise for her to meet him now, with betrayal burning so freshly in her gut.

"Am I the only necromancer in this world, then? Do we wizards suddenly find ourselves stripped of the ability to harness Her gifts the moment they open up a tome they shouldn't? When they form their tongues around 'forbidden' castings?" She fires off one rhetorical question after the next. It is a shame, that he proves himself to be so narrow-minded.

"There are many we mortals answer to — masters, gods, call them what you like. I do not disrespect Our Lady of Spells, I merely honor another. You have seen me cast, Gale of Waterdeep. Do I seem to have been punished for such?"

"I would be honored to invite another true scholar such as yourself to peruse my personal collection," she says neutrally. Her tone makes it difficult to discern whether the compliment is met or not. Honestly, the younger wizard amuses her. The tiefling may not have the good sense to distrust her, but this Gale of Waterdeep is clearly more cautious than his companion.

Consort? Lover? Iraestra is vaguely curious about the nature of their relationship, but it is no pressing concern to her. Afhiri will tell on themselves eventually, be it a slipped word or a gleeful declaration. They are alarmingly, stunningly honest. Iraestra is a little impressed that they have made it this far in life with all their limbs, tail included, intact.

Iraestra attempts not to laugh outright at his painfully probing question. Ah, subtly is not just lost on Afhiri, then. "If you ask if I would have squandered the opportunity beneath my nose to harness incredibly powerful magic, the answer is no. You are astute enough to realize that necromancy has its uses as an art; can the same not be said for all magic? Is the pursuit of knowledge for knowledge's sake not worthwhile?" She asks without any real care of the answer; his opinion of her only matters insofar as keeping her near Afhiri and the strange cube they share. Iraestra is endlessly curious about that, and not entirely too eager to lose the sense of self she only just recently gained again.

"If you come this way with me I may show you what I have found. Unless you are scared of what afraid of what I have found in the shadows?" Part taunt, part tease.

"lord thorm.." afhiri repeated under their breath. that's the bad guy.. right? "if you say so, irae!" they nodded along as iraestra spoke, but truth be told she didn't understand what was said to her. a library, sure, that one's obvious. but tomes on illithids? what's an illithid again?

as they stepped into the building, afhiri found themselves disappointed. all this excitement about the mighty moonrise towers and the power it holds, but the place looks like a dump, battered walls and cracked ceilings. not unlike their childhood home, a thought that crosses their mind. a huff leaving their lips, deflated shoulders and a dragged step follow.

ignoring afhiri's obvious demeanour shift, gale spoke. "i can't help but find myself fascinated by the prospect of seeing your collection of tomes, iraestra." his hand found its way to his mouth, as he thought for a moment. "and i would not be surprised to hear you have taboo subjects, if that were the case." he shot her a look, curiousity mixed with suspicion. he never suspected her to be in mystra's goodest of graces, but he tried to hold his judgement, and keep his distrust of her contained. while afhiri may trust iraestra, he could not.

"while necromancy is not inherently evil," he continued. "i certainly suspect you've dabbled your hands in other forms of magic. especially here," he waved his hand about. "the shadow must have been incredibly tempting." an eyebrow raised. "have you ever.. tried it?" a weak bait, but he doubts iraestra needs bait at all to confess her sins in the case of magical prowess, especially when it could be used to out-shine the evoker.

afhiri's face scrunches up as gale pokes at iraestra. and who's balthazar?

[dekarios]

@moltara AHHHH NIKO THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!! I LOVE IT AHHHHHHHH SKSHSKSJS

[lanaevyssmoved]

I have a lot of ideas now, thank you. I'll probably work on it some more tonight. I tend to get lost in things I wanted to keep simple. Which is nice now tbh, I need something to get lost in. I'll send you a message off anon once I post it. :)

AAAAAAAAAA OKAY OKAY.. THANK YOU.. TRIES TO STAY CALM

[dekarios]

i think if you really want people to attach to your ocs you need more than just gifs/art/fics, i really think you just need to talk about them. and i don't just mean.. neat, thought out posts.

just say shit. make unhinged messy posts about ur characters. bring them up when u think about them. unload all that mess inside ur head thats screaming at you onto a post. and people will start to attach, i think.

that's how i get with afhiri when she's in the forefront of my mind and i really think people like her a lot and she gets a lot of attention. i have never seen people care so much about a character of mine before, asking me questions unprompted, sending me things that remind them of her, gifting me the most amazing art ever just because they like her...... idk man

i think to get people to care in the way i see so many people post about wanting... you just need to be comfortable to say shit. just talk absolute shit. scream about ur ocs the same way you do your favourite characters.. ur "blorbos"....... treat them like a canon character u are obsessed with and people will notice that passion and be enamoured with it

cuz half of falling in love with someones oc is falling in love with that persons mind and their passion for what they create.. yknow ? you need to let people in and be a bit exposed and vulnerable about what you love for it to be loved in return
