#valka was always into dwarven men

[trillian-n7]

I realise, you just kissed a girl and now I’ve got you chasing leads.

I realise I kissed Neve Gallus and this is part of your charm.

Valka had just been kissed by a woman, by a human, by Neve fucking Gallus. As she blindly pursued Neve through the alleys of Dock Town, her mind raced as she processed the earlier events on the dock. They were friends, nothing more. Sure, they teased each other, but Valka did that with everyone. It was her way of dealing with the constant danger they lived in. It was all in good fun - until suddenly it wasn't. Until she realized she wanted to kiss Neve again.

But she was a woman. A beautiful, intoxicating, exciting woman. Valka’s mind raced as she considered the implications. What did this mean?

Oh…

Fuck…

She was in love with Neve Gallus. 

Their hunt led them to the spillway and, as Neve had correctly guessed, they uncovered more clues she could use to track Aelia. It was more than they had expected for the afternoon trip to Minrathous, yet Valka could not concentrate on Neve’s chatter about the case as they made their way back to the market. 

‘Val, are you listening to me?’ Neve’s voice cut through Valka’s thoughts. 

Valka snapped out of her thoughts and offered a reassuring smile. ‘Sorry, Neve. I was just thinking... How about we grab some dinner? We can discuss the case over a meal.’
