[Video | Open to Anyone | After Feast]

[wildgift]

[This one looks rather ostentatious, though it isn't really through any choice of his own. He's red haired and dressed in Scarlets, muttering to himself and trying not to look too concerned. He's actually doing quite a good job of it, though the look in his eyes might give him away to anyone who knows how to read it.]

Safest Bard in Haven, indeed. [Never mind that he'd been the one to say that.] When Vanyel hears of this, I'll never hear the end of it. [Here he adopts a different tone, clearly imitating someone else.]

"Do you see, Stefen? I was right. My enemies will only use you against me." [Sigh.] Yes, he certainly needed another excuse to try and be rid of me.

Hellsteeth.

[He takes a few cautious glances around, but shakes his head. Apparently he doesn't like much of what he sees, but he does at least try to give an endearing, albeit self-deprecating smile.]

Would someone mind please informing me as to where I am? I'm afraid I've not much to provide in the way of a reward for your help, but I would certainly appreciate it. I'm sure I can find some way to repay you.

[He gives into temptation and kisses Stefen's smile.]

Give me plenty of time to prepare. I'm not sure what this kingdom holds in store for us.

Beyond battle.

I'm not looking forward to that bit. But I'll do my best.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Stay close to me if things get out of hand. Protecting myself and another isn't difficult unless we're faced with practiced Mages.

I assure you, Herald Vanyel, I will do my utmost to ensure that I do not leave your sight in such an instance. I'm afraid I've grown rather fond of living and I'd hate to cease doing it.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I'm growing fond of seeing you alive, so we can agree on that point. Besides, what good are Gifts if you can't use them?

Re: [Action]

[wildgift]

I don't know. But it is good to know that I won't be left to the wolves.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Never. [It's a solemn promise.] You're stuck with me too.

Re: [Action]

[wildgift]

I can't say as I mind much if I am.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I pray that doesn't change.

Re: [Action]

[wildgift]

I'm fairly certain it won't, so rest easy.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I think I shall rest easier than I have been as of late.

[Action]

[wildgift]

I'm glad for that, then.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

[He exhales and smiles to himself.]

For the first time, I'm thoroughly looking forward to my future.

[Action]

[wildgift]

And what about the present?

[Action] Ah pushing buttons on the pop up menu...

[vanyel_ashkevron]

It's hard for me to believe it's real.

[Action] Oh, pop up menu, how I loathe you~

[wildgift]

Why? I mean, other than where we are.

[Action] Time to turn it off.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

This place is easier for me to believe in comparison to you.

[Action] Yyyyyyyyep

[wildgift]

Dare I ask?

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Do you think life-bonds are common?

[Action]

[wildgift]

No, but it seemed like more than that.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Maybe I'll tell you one day.

[Action]

[wildgift]

Vanyel Ashkevron, you are a horrible tease.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I can be. [Is he proud of it? More than a little.]

[Action]

[wildgift]

I suppose now I'll have to stay until I get my answer.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

It might be worth your time.
