Day 3: Tempest

Read on AO3

“We need to go. Now.”

“You sound awfully concerned, Kitali. I doubt that-”

“I can think of only one other wandering dragonslayer, and they didn’t hire me,” she interrupted. “We need to go.”

She strode out of Reunion’s walls and gave a sharp whistle for her yol. The massive bird landed a few yalms before her, and Orn Khai wheeled about as she mounted. With a great rush of air the sprawling grasslands dropped out from beneath her. Gripping the leather collar, she directed them to fly northwest through the fingers of Ceol Aen, scanning below for any sign of a hunting party or Faunehm herself.

A flash of movement caught her eye as a lone figure sprang from one outcropping of rock to another, and something in her chest twisted painfully.

“Where is she?!” Orn Khai said over the wind as they wheeled. “We must find her before that hunter does!”

“Or we just stop him ourselves.”

Kitali leaned forward, bringing the yol back down to the grass in a buffeting of feathers, and dismounted. The single dragoon off in the distance grew steadily closer. There was no possibility he hadn’t seen them. The setting sun was still leaking through the mountains as he approached, and Kitali could see the exact moment he recognised her in the change of his stride.

“Tis good to see you again, Kitali,” Estinien said once he was within speaking distance.

A writhing knot of emotions welled like a tempest wind at the back of her throat.

You left I’m glad you aren’t dead why did you leave you look happy for once why didn’t you say anything-

I missed you.

“You have new armour,” is what she said instead.

He looked down at the suit of deep indigo and gold. “Aye, ‘twas a gift from Hraesvelgr.”

“I wasn’t aware the two of you were on speaking terms,” Kitali scoffed.

“Nor I,” Estinien shrugged. “But I’m hardly one to turn down a gift when offered. Certainly not from a member of the First Brood.”

“You are the hunter tasked with killing the dragon, yes?” Orn Khai interjected without preamble.

“...Aye. And I assume you are here for the same reason, then? Azure Dragoon habits die hard, it seems.” He frowned. “Although, I suppose neither of us still hold that mantle anymore.”

“Speak for yourself,” Kitali said flatly.

Estinien opened his mouth to reply, but a squawk from Orn Khai stopped him short.

“The Azure Dragoon of Ishgard?! Both of you?!”

“And who exactly is your diminutive companion, here, Kitali?” Estinien asked.

“This is Orn Khai,” Kitali said. “Friend of Heustienne. He’s the reason I’m here.”

“We’re searching for my father’s lost consort!” Orn Khai piped up, his shock quickly forgotten. “And we found her, though she’s been afflicted by some terrible agony and wouldn’t speak to us. Not even my voice could reach her. I think her long years of isolation from Father have taken their toll on her.”

“And you journeyed all the way here from Dravania? A desperate search indeed. It seems the fates would have it that we met this day, for word of this dragon only reached mine ears not long after arriving here in the Far East. It had been my intention to act as intermediary between dragon and man, assuming the beast could be reasoned with. If not, I was prepared to brandish my lance.”

Kitali’s gaze flicked to the blade that loomed above him on his back, still twisted by Nidhogg’s touch as it had been on the Steps.

“Regardless,” Estinien said, catching her gaze wandering, “I would wager the young one has the right of it. And what’s more, she doubtless still suffers from Nidhogg’s hateful dirge. To think she was able to resist the call speaks to great strength of will.”

“But she would still not listen to me!” Orn Khai lamented. “How can we tell her she can return home to Dravania if she will only try to kill us?”

“I can think of but one way we can still save her,” Estinien said. “We weaken her enough that she is willing to listen to reason.”

“I already tried,” Kitali said. “She didn’t seem interested.”

“I very much doubt repeating the attempt will change anything,” Orn Khai added dejectedly.

“And I do not advocate for a repeat approach, little one. I would have you use your roar. I have experienced first hand the power of a wyrm’s roar, and have little doubt that that is the only way we can hope to reach her.”

“But…..I have never roared before,” Orn Khai said.

Estinien gestured between Kitali and himself. “You have the two dragoons who bested Nidhogg at your side. You have naught to fear.”

“I-I shall do my best. Should we fail, I do not think we shall have a second attempt. Pray lend me your strength, Azure Dragoons.” Orn Khai raised his head, searching. “Faunehm is this way, I believe,” he said before flying off into the ravine.

Estinien turned to Kitali, his expression uncharacteristically softened. “Shall we?”

She couldn’t stop the answering smile that pulled at her own lips. “Let’s not keep her waiting, then.”

is there an equivalent of the spot for luke's back instead of his front? like the bit that's not quite shoulder when he wears a tank top?

i'm so glad you asked :) as you can see in this rather alarming example, he does in fact have little spots right along his armpits where the upper back/shoulder area seems to push out a little further into his arm than the line of his mid and lower back.

but my favorite way to way to view this particular "back spot" is from the front, when he raises his arms and it pops out sort of next to and behind his armpits. it's part of what makes his armpits so appealing actually <3

I saw this image in a meta post by vroomvroom.... Though to share it with you so as to brighten up your day XD

Haha well thank you so much! This is quite lovely, as there are few things more gorgeous than Sheen booty...other than the man said arse is attached to, of course. I actually had a really rough day at work yesterday--which is why I haven't answered Asks/temporarily turned off Asks entirely, because there are so many in my inbox and I didn't want to disappoint yet more of my followers by being behind in answering them-so this is just the pick-me-up that I needed.

I will also say that we talk a lot about the costume choices for Crowley and how tight David's trousers are, but there is something to be said for excellent tailoring--regardless of tightness. Aziraphale's trousers are not tight, but they are perfectly tailored and show off Michael's shape gorgeously. I know Michael had some input into Aziraphale's clothing choices, but it's just amusing to me that he's supposed to be so "stuffy" and "soft," yet when you put those clothes on Michael, it's all softness underlined by barely concealed strength and muscle, which is quite visually appealing, albeit in a completely different way to David/Crowley.

So yes, I very much appreciate this delightful gift, and you thinking of me when you saw it. xD Thanks for writing in! x
