azshara: is your muse an opportunist, or do they stick to their morals?

Nath sticks to his morals.

…his. morals.

The fact that those morals largely seem to involve snagging opportunities, deceiving when necessary, and making snap decisions on what constitutes the ‘greater good’ is both beside the point and central to it. The main goal truly is ‘do as little harm as possible’ while preserving his own freedom and the freedom of others. Buuuut… if there’s gotta be some harm done along the way, and it’s unavoidable… well, he’ll find the silver lining in it somewhere. He won’t enjoy it, but it is what it is and he’ll manage to carry on.

Fuckers probably deserved it. Next time, stay out of his way.

Thank you, @rian-kestavin!

🕢: Mythological creature you’d like to be?

You can find my previous answer to this HERE.

But to answer the question. Instead of a minotaur. I think being a phoenix would be pretty cool.

Who has the best boss lines?

I have always loved High Inquisitor Whitemane. Scarlet Monastary will always be one of my favorite dungeons for a number of reasons, even after the revamp of it. But Whitemane coming into the battle and rezzing tops the list of my favorite.

Arise, my champion!

The Nightguardshift by the encampments gate was always very quiet, always very long and always very boring.They had sat down by a small campfire, relaxed, bored, idley, but still one hand lingering on the hilts of their swords for after all they were still guards. So the conversations were hushed while their senses were on edge, listening to the cracking of the undergrowth, watching the shadows moving around them over the Campfires light as they kept up the facade of bored idleness. “The Windrunnersisters Liar game? Hrmpf-”, Mar harrumphed quietly, a frown drawing a long line between her thick, bushy eyebrows: “…well, its not like we have anything else to do, aye?”“Good, two Turth and one Lie.”, the frown became even heavier on the young womans face and the campfire painted red marks on her dark green skin like warpaint:

“I have no interest joining a Faktion, the War is what makes me earn money and I will not chose between one warcriminal or another. The second, by now I am sure,  I will only return to the Arathihighland and go to the rebuild Stromgarde Keep to get a chance to punch Danath Trollbane. And the third, sometimes all I want is to buy a little piece of property, build a hut and a little garden and live on my own.“

🥐 Favourite foreign food?

Tricky, cuz I live in Murica and like 75% of the foods I like could technically be considered foreign, if typically a bastardized version of said foreign food.

Because I’ve mentioned them recently, let’s go with pierogi.

They’re super-simple little pockets of mashed potato and happiness, and I love them to pieces. Unless I start making them myself, though, the only reliable source I have is the frozen ones from Mrs. T’s, which are quite tasty but would probably upset a Polish person in the same way that American chocolate upsets Germans.

💕 Your two top fave fictional characters

Get to know me:

💕 Your two top fave fictional characters: -- I read this as stop five. Only two?! Gosh.

  The first is, Doctor Who. Because he’s like, thirteen different versions, always renewing and reinventing.

 The second is, Sylvana Windrunner. Because. I don’t need a reason. I love her and I hope she enslaves all of the Alliance as undead ghouls. #forthehorde

 Thank you my darling @rian-kestavin!

18. Is there a certain flavor that disgusts them?

“Mint.” Letalina’s face crunched up as she thought about it. “If it’s in something and hidden, I’m fine. But, as soon as I taste a lot of it. Nope, I’m out.” Leta frowned softly. “And it’s any type of mint.”

(Thank you @rian-kestavin for the ask!)

Lost in the Library...

“Theron? Theron!” 

A woman’s voice called to him. At first a faint questioning tone before the scolding one. The mage held up a hand as he worked to finish the last page of his reading.

The table he worked at was covered in various literature, tome upon tomes of shadow magic and lore on old gods and obscene rituals. Not his usual reading and subjects far more vast than he’d realized. Stubble peppered his hagered face. It was anyone’s guess how long it had been since he’d left the library for more than air to stay awake.

Pale green hues turned meeting a furrowed gaze with a furrowed gaze, “Rian? What are you doing here?” Seeing the woman in Dalaran hadn’t happened for well over a year since she’d run off after her suspension from Light’s Hope.

“I had business and I hadn’t heard from you in over a week.” She stepped closer looking her twin over. “You can’t just disappear like that, not now, not with everything...”

“A week?” he blinked running his hands over his face. “Yeah.. sorry..” He spoke pulling himself out of the chair. It was as he looked Rian over he saw the look in her eyes. The look that said there was no good news to be had and in truth it was a look that seemed to come with the worst news. 

“What happened? Emilia? She’s alright? Val? Thaylynn?” He asked a sleep deprived voice heavy with concern.

She hadn’t the words herself and was quite tired of being gentle. She held out the letter. One that had mirrored her own, letters for intended for his eyes written in their mother’s hand. “We’ve got a lead. But we’ve buried the wrong bones.” The words came quiet and choked.

The magus looked at her confused but accepted the letter reading it over. Shoulders slumping when he finally put the pieces together. Without another word he dropped the parchment to the stack of books and moved to wrap his sister in a tight hug.

“Hey.. Hey you’re not alone this time, yeah? I’m here, Val’s here. Thaylynn... “ He tried to offer some sort of comfort despite feeling the infliction of the heartache. 

“I’m scared, Theron.” Rian choked out. “I’m scared.”

He’d never heard those words from her before. She was always the strong one, the fighter. It was a reaction enough that brought him a moment’s pause. There was a lot they needed to catch up on. A week had passed lost in research. For now it would wait.

desolace: does your muse hold grudges? how do they handle ongoing conflict?

Alex really only holds grudges if they’ve harmed him or his family. He’s not going to forget something someone has done. Because if they’ve done it once. They’ll likely do it again. As for ongoing conflict. That’s basically where he thrives. He might be freaking out on the surface but internally it’s where he just feels right.

IC: Risri really liked Rian from the first moment she met her. Anther noble woman who did not act like the typical nobility. Rian was just a nervous bride but Risri could see there was steel in her spine.

OOC; Gosh, your writing is freaking amazing. I love Rian and I love Cypris too. You are a super star in my book. I didn’t get to know you super well in my small time when I was in the same guild as you but what little I saw lead me to believe you are a warm and wonderful person. And you have one of my favorite ships with Percy. :)

Just an awesome writer and person.

☯: Do they believe in karma? ✤ : Do they believe in luck?

Leon: For both, the answer is a yes/no. Leon is a druid, and believes in the inherent necessity of balance in nature and the universe as a whole. It isn’t about kindness or fairness, just about keeping things even. As such, every lucky break or karmic backlash you encounter is counterbalanced somewhere else, and vice versa.

Terry: Karma, he doesn’t believe in at all. According to Terry, if karma existed, he would already be (permanently) dead, and so would a lot of other people who haven’t dropped yet. 

Luck on the other hand he believes in wholeheartedly, because that’s why he isn’t dead yet. He has enough runs of poor timing or random chance screwing him over and then slingshotting back around to smile on him a few minutes later to dismiss the idea out of hand. Toffee’s life was saved by his luck, both bad and good--bad set Terry running from a vrykul camp, good saw him survive being overtaken and stumbling across Toffee’s mom.
