"I don't think they should be too high. You've worn heels before, haven't you, darling?"

Gwyn squinted down at the contents of the makeup bag he'd dumped over his bed, posing the question casually over his shoulder as he rifled through the phenomenal amount of eyeshadow pots he'd totally forgotten he owned. Taliesin had been banished to the bathroom almost as soon as the guards had delivered him to try on his costume before the sith got his hands dirty doing the pretty human's makeup. Dair would be joining the party eventually, but seeing as his costume involved little more than a shiny pair of gold shorts and his own good looks, Gwyn had thought it all the better to pat the nephilim on the ass and give him the early evening to himself.

For now, they had the suite to themselves and Gwyn could properly appreciate the sight of Taliesin wiggled into the skimpy pink one-piece he'd be wearing for the night, grinning and giving him a wolf whistle as he patted the bed beside him. "What do you think? Leave the shoes off for now, actually, let me make you gorgeous first."

Privacy, always, was the real rarity in a place like the Undercroft. What windows of opportunity there were were brief and had to be seized quickly -- Adrasia, it seemed, was not the only one attempting to take advantage this time. He had succeeded first in the showers, scrubbing away the lingering malaise of his transfer until his skin would have pinkened, had he been human. His clothes he wrestled into while the room was still thick with humidity, then slipped down the hall like a shadow. Just within the door of the dormitory though, the celestial halted.

Someone else was already inside: only one, alone, tucked far from the door.

They were crying.

Adrasia took one automatic step forward, then stopped, his lips parting around words he hadn't even chosen yet, his hair still hanging in damp curls around his face. The sound was a wretched, painful thing -- this was the first time the celestial had heard it in this place, but he knew suddenly with a dreadful intuition it would not be the last. When he moved again he approached not-so-quietly, so not to scare the other before he spoke, soft and encouraging: "We're alone, it's alright." Adrasia stopped a bed away, not wanting to corner the other in such a state. "May I sit? You may pretend I'm not even here, if you like."

With what the other had been through all night, Soren supposed he should only be surprised that Taliesin had kept himself awake for this long. He resisted the impulse to shake him awake again, the sudden desperation to keep hearing his brother's voice after the fraught time they'd spent apart. But how much rest did Taliesin get in the castle, true rest, where he knew he could be safe? Soren watched him nod off instead, his heart tight in his chest, waiting until he was sure he'd drifted entirely before he stood to find a throw blanket he could drape over Taliesin's slender body. He really was drowning in Soren's joggers. The Missus watched skeptically, stepping into the puddled blanket once he'd finished tucking it over Taliesin's shoulders and pressing her back against his brother's shins as she curled up beside him.

It was nearly normal. Another night spent sleeping off a party in Soren's apartment so Taliesin wouldn't have to face Nisha's wrath stumbling home. It felt impossible to consider letting the vampires steal him back up to that looming castle, as impossible as it had felt that Soren might actually find him again when he'd set out on his stupid, ill-planned journey. But here he was. Soren sat down gingerly, taking pains not to disturb the duo. He'd let him rest a little while longer. Then he could figure out how to let him go again.

Taliesin didn't miss the way Soren corrected himself, untitled Stigr, with such familiarity. When Stigr had come and gone from their home, he'd always been The Councilman - Councilman Anslem, if you really had to clarify, but there wasn't exactly another Councilman in their house to confuse him with. Their parents had insisted on the politeness, honoured, but wary around a vampire. It was perhaps the only occasion on which Taliesin had seen Nisha remotely concerned about him, reminding him to stay out of the way and quiet when Stigr was present. Cynically, he wondered if it had ever been concern for him, or merely the business, herself. Then again, she had acquiesced to their Grandmother, insisting on all of those middle names, superstitious about the interference of the supernatural, keeping one or two even off the birth certificate. Perhaps there was a little superstition in their mother too. Still, it betrayed a familiarity in Soren. They'd spoken, perhaps more than just business. Taliesin felt a pang of defensiveness.

And then a huge wave of tiredness. All at once it was difficult to keep his eyes open, enough of the molly finally out of his system that his body was physically capable of sleep. He let his head rest against the arm of the sofa, his knees drawn up beneath him. "Yes... Yeah... Sounds... Good," he managed between the flood of yawns. It was getting difficult to keep his eyes open, the lids growing heavier withe very blink until finally they slid shut altogether.

C3E116 random thoughts and bits

Love Laura's hair in this episode

What even is this ad, hahahaha

The deception check for running backwards shit was hilarious

"I don't want to bet, we're saving money, we're trying to adopt" *5 seconds later* "YOU OWE ME 100 DOLLARS"

This whole thing in the hallways of the Arx Creonum has been like an extended Scooby Doo gag, in the best way possible

"I was eating some candy, do you want some?", "Will I also sound sarcastic if I eat one?"

I can imagine Fjord just floating in the air and being split apart by both Caleb and the Weave Mind

Dope Monk Shit

It's hilarious tho that, from the perspective of the rest of the Nein, both Fjord and Beau just suddenly disappeared without a notice, and of course you might assume it was the work of the Weave Mind

Everything dies without mice

And bees

Fjord Fairie Fire Fizzles

Oh, that divine intervention was clutch af

"Tiny little spectral golden dicks" - Hope we get a C3 animated show one day to see that

Oh, divine intervention and then Time Stop, amazing

That whole 5 turns in 1 from Caleb was just *chef's kiss*

"This is where we'll begin the next graveyard" - Taliesin as always with the best one liners

"Which of you will be the first to be interred?"

I appreciate so much Taliesin's musical references (now to A Perfect Circle), and it's incredible how often they go through over both the rest of the cast and the fandom's heads

Dammit Sam, how on Earth do you manage to get 4 nat 1s, in 2 rolls with advantage, back to back

But is the wall 10 ft over the ground, 20 ft tall tho? can't believe that became a bit

That was a nice try for Caduceus to go down for trying to recover from blindness

I've said before how Tal's characters are always the one I connect the most, and not having seen C2 yet -just clips and bits-, I gotta say, I love Caduceus so much.

Now Caleb with the bad rolls streak, considering how bad they've rolled overall, its fascinating how things have turned out. I mean, it hasn't been abysmal or anything, but, well, it could've been a lot better.

4 hours in to notice your armor isn't equipped. We've all been there at some time.

Love how, while Yasha was killing the first of the Weave Mind to fall, Sam and Laura were talking about a realistic Moo Deng cake

The moment the ego hunter fell and how the Weave Mind felt it, it reminded me of the "IT'S AFRAID" moment with the Brain bug from Starship Troopers

"STAY DOWN BITCH, FUCK YOUR FUCKING TRIGONOMETRY"

Caleb using Disintegrate to just, completely obliterate the other 4 was just, beautiful

Ashley doing the "SHE'S BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME" when talking about Beau

Well, that was amazing. Also, both Vox Machina and The Mighty Nein completing their tasks in 2 episodes, it was a nice parallel.

Well, it's up to Bells Hells now. I'm stoked to see what Ludinus -and Matt by extension- throws at them, not only considering BH aren't entirely sure what to do with Predathos; but also, because they aren't lvl 20 like the other 2 groups, and how will Matt handle that scaling

The night was wearing on, cold and deep. With the streets lit up and the trees heavy with snow, surrounded by throngs of people in high spirits and distant music nearly every place he'd wandered, the angel could also imagine Krovstown to be a normal village celebrating the wintertime. Adrasia was almost reluctant to leave it. In the end, he allowed himself one more lap of the main drag, soaking up as much of the atmosphere as he could in preparation for the inevitable ride back up to Krovs.

"Taliesin?"

He spotted the human nestled between two vendors' stalls, looking off distantly over the top of a steaming cup. There was a light dusting of snow on his hair, the smallest frown on his face. Adrasia smiled softly as he came up beside him, delicately brushing off the boy's dark locks. "Are you enjoying yourself?" He asked hopefully, trying to resist the urge to tug at Taliesin's coat, adjust it more carefully around his neck. "It's getting late. I was about to find a car up to the castle, if you'd like to join me."
