“Ignoring you? No.”

“Is not. I—.. the town.. I lived there. I.. do not wish to stay here... but it is dark.”

“I— I'm.. alright.. nothing a.. p-potion, can't fix.”

Caspian would've typically been beet red at this point; however, he was a tad more shameless at the moment. No, instead, his arms hooked around Demaris' neck, his eyes scrunched nearly shut. “Mm... thank you.”
nepophisto
@faeriebound There was a pause before the teifling let out a dramatic sigh, kneeling down to scoop the other off of the ground. He didn't really feel like complaining at the moment. Wouldn't do either of them much good anyway. ،، Let's get you back to Nym... ” He muttered.
faeriebound
“Embarrassing.. yes. But you can.. carry me, no..?" Blood stained his white hair crimson, sticking to his scalp. Seems getting knocked upside the head by an unpleasant harpy had him thinking he was a little jokester.

“the.. the /bird/...”

“/Maris/," Caspian nudged him again, still lost in his own confusion. Did he lack sleep? Yes, but not enough to hallucinate! “Birds.. don't... talk. Why.. does yours..”

@changedblood ،، A good thing that I wasn't planning on getting much closer, then. ” He would just have to sate his curiosity from a safe distance. In fact, the tiefling even made a point of taking a step away in hopes that it would help his case even just a little more. ،، I'm no healer. However, there /is/ a cleric nearby, if you would care for his help with – ” He vaguely gestured to the other, ،، – whatever happened here. ”

⠀ &&. ⠀⠀forgive me, im afraid i have had a few too many ale. but.. your horns—- do they have nerves? can you feel touch to them?
nepophisto
@SORCERYSTORMS The tiefling watched the elf carefully, and perhaps more intensely than he'd intended, almost forgetting to blink. That curiosity was honestly a little amusing to him. Something that felt so innocent. He gave a low hum at that question. ،، Sort of... In a similar way that you would feel someone touch your hair. ” To add emphasis to that comparison, he reached a hand up to gently hook some of Alec's hair with one finger, pulling back and letting the hair fall back his eyes shifted to meet the other's.

@nepophisto,⠀ &&. ⠀⠀alec shook his head slowly as if that conveyed anything close to 'i'd never.' he set his cup on the ground, a soft metallic thud being heard from it. in this state, he wasn't as hesitant as he normally was to remove one of his gloves. his hands, scarred from the very lightning he wielded, were gentle as he reached up to touch the horn. in the name of knowledge was what he told himself. honestly, though, they just seemed really cool to have. probably heavy though. "thank you. " he grinned as his hand retracted and found it's glove again. "could you feel that? " he wondered.
nepophisto
@SORCERYSTORMS ،، As long as you don't go yanking them as if you want to rip them off like /some/ people. ” Mainly, he would be referring to Astoria. It was almost shocking that a horn removal hadn't been attempted yet with how often that seems to occur. The scene was like a mother pulling her son's ear after he misbehaved, with often much more aggressive words. That said, he didn't imagine Alec would do that, at least.

“... Then don't do things that make me have to grab your horns. Problem solved.“

@webofIoss ،، I have done /nothing/ that demands you putting your filthy hand anywhere on me. I can hear you perfectly fine otherwise. ”

"my, even from afar I can smell the mark my father has left. do tell, has it made you a target to infernal creatures or have they the sense to stay far away?"
nepophisto
@hellstheatre ،، The latter. So far, at least. ” Being far from the safety of his family home in Waterdeep, he can't say he'd be terribly surprised to run into such troubles. In fact, it seemed it may be starting to become one now. ،، Doesn't seem to me that my luck will persist... A child of Mephistopheles, I take it, then? ”

“I don't suppose you just came for my expansive selection of teas and desserts?”
nepophisto
@ofwaterdeeps Demaris paused, hesitant to continue his thought. Vulnerability was still one of his least favorite things to practice. With a sigh, he leaned back in his seat as his gaze flickered away. Might as well. ،، When I was taken out of Blackstaff, my father had taken up teaching me himself. His methods were— Let's just say that my punishments weren't exactly as simple as a good scolding and time writing lines. ”

“Nonsense! As an apprentice who desperately needed someone to keep me in—- excuse me. You were saying?”
nepophisto
@ofwaterdeeps ،، The apprentices hardly bother me. Truth be told, I'm not so sure I would care much for a professor like me, either. Even if it would be an improvement to – ... ”
