Wait is the middle picture from those three sketches that one scene from the wigmaker job?

yes! it's this specific passage where lucanis is just seething with rage and trying to keep a lid on it, and illario's a stablising, comforting presence. BROTHERS!!!!! <3 though i chose to draw his hand on his shoulder rather than his arm i guess. artistic liberty!

#in the future i want to discuss lucanis' anger in the short story + how spite would have made it worse #and how in my beautiful mind illario would have been the one to help him #no blood magic needed!!!!#like its a point of serious issues between the both of them and the relationship is like obviously fraught #and illario still gives his ambition pause because lucanis is losing himself to a demon and he drags him away from it #illario being a positive force despite his goals/lack of morality/etc is so interesting to me like. it doesnt matter what he's done #or the what's he's trying to do and all the usurping. lucanis is soothed just when his family is near #same applies to caterina to a . lesser extent. if they deserve this reaction from him is another thing #i also think. and important to note. that lucanis' internal narration never worries about illario's ability to finish the job #he sometimes giggles in his mind about illario not having the best balance or footing #but does not worry about the assassination being botched . and i also thought #the line 'i'm only here because of you' implies lucanis wants him to come on the job #considering he was the only one hired (the elf that greets them not recognising why he had someone with him)#so. i dont know why im saying all this actually. maybe just more on lucanis' dependancy on and care for illario + vice versa #lucanis dellamorte #illario dellamorte #answered #anonymous
