OPEN - I'm gonna do my best to take my place in the sun

[mythalenaste]

WHO: Pel Ashara and YOU
WHAT: Catch-all/open post for May/Bloomingtide
WHEN: All month
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: Will update with any warnings as needed.

1 - Outskirts



A grey wolf is haunting the slopes outside of Skyhold.

She doesn't appear to be stalking anything. She is simply roaming the hillside, taking in her surroundings, occasionally sniffing something out. Her yellow eyes do not search; she is only taking everything in, as if she is discovering the world.

She hears and smells you before she sees you, and isn't worried, though her ears turn to listen. If you come closer, she will look up at you, waiting for you to do something to make her reveal herself.

2 - Library

The hour is absurdly late, but she can't sleep knowing this paragraph is not written. More accurately, it has been written a great many times, but she doesn't quite like any of them.

You might find her toiling. You might find her asleep on top of her own drafts.

3 - Hot spring

For whatever reason, you have just arrived, are in whatever state of dress or undress as you are in, when the water is disturbed and Pel's head pops out. She wasn't under longer than fifteen or twenty seconds--not long enough for you to get much done, but long enough for her to, perhaps, surprise you a bit. Though she looks surprised herself, seeing you.

4 - Wildcard

"You are beautiful," Cyril insisted with conviction. "And you deserve to be pampered more. We should plan a day of it sometime."

[mythalenaste]

"We should. It...gave me energy. Made me feel nice. Maybe if Keeper Deheune had days like that, she'd have been different. We all need days like that."

[samahl]

He makes an amused noise. "The Keeper with cheese wheels on her face... Now there's a sight I'd pay to see."

[mythalenaste]

An open laugh.

"I don't think I'll do that again. Makes it dodgier to feed them to people. And I did eat them after."

[samahl]

"I'd hate to take off my kohl to do that," Cyril thinks it over. "I bet it's meant to be placed directly on the skin anyway."

[mythalenaste]

"Your kohl looks beautiful, but so do you. You're not diminished for the loss of it." She leans in and kisses him on the cheek. "We resemble each other a great deal, so my beauty is your beauty, you know."

[samahl]

"The difference is that I know I'm beautiful," he replies, teasing her just a bit. "If you need a reminder, you can look at me."

[mythalenaste]

"Would you ever tattoo your kohl on?"

[samahl]

Cyril has to think about that for a moment. "I doubt it," he says finally, smiling a bit. "I enjoy the process of putting it on. It gets me ready for the day."
