Hiiii! 19-21 for the Tav Ask Game!

19 was noted in a previous Q but for the record: 19. What is your Tav’s greatest desire?

She will never, EVER admit it to Rolan and it's likely to cause them a massive problem down the line, but she misses the simple life of the farm. It's why she was able to relate to the druids at the grove so well (and fight back against the urge to steal that idol) , Jaheira's even said she has some potential that could probably be nurtured, especially if she turned away from 'such unnecessary larcenies' and eschewed the role of a rogue or of a bard. (She even has a brief fling with Halsin before realizing she truly wants Rolan). The only reason she had actually left her adoptive parents farm was the grief over her dead love interest Linus (her guy at 18-19, she would have said yes when he proposed), and that everything there reminded her of him as he'd been the lead farmhand there. But that was one farm and a part of her would give anything to go back to that simple, stable country life. (no pun intended). Just in a different space and place.

I think if there were a way for Tav to be master farmer of her own land and Rolan remain a respected wizard and/or archmage, she'd jump on it in a SECOND. ------- 20. What is your Tav’s greatest regret? (current) Her adoptive parents sold part of their farm to pay restitution to get her out of jail, then they were killed with the Illithid nautiloid picked all three up on the way out of the city. No thieving, no jail, parents still alive. / (Former) For a LONG time she thought her tendency to wear bright colours and flashy jewellery was what attracted the gnolls that killed her likely future husband, cost her adoptive mum a pregnancy, and left her adoptive dad with a permanent limp. She was eventually convinced that the attack would have been regardless, but it was a yearslong process that contributed to the other one. ------- 21. How does your Tav feel about love?

Currently (fic, 2m post epilogue): Loves love. Loves Rolan even when he's being Captain Grumpy or a tremendous jerk. Gets SO excited in my fic when she realizes Lia and Gale are serious. Even digs the crazy vibes of Cal/Lae'zel and wants to try to help Shadowheart with Nocturne. Loves loves, loves songs of love and love stories. Fae'run's #1 A+ romantic sap. (Loves Rolan enough that she's willing to tolerate still being in the city even though she'd love to get back to nature (see 19)) Went through a bitter and cynical period in her early 20s (see #20) after death of very serious love interest.
