[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.

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.

[Action]

[wildgift]

I'm sure it will be. Don't think I'll forget.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I'd rather you didn't. [His voice lowers a notch - for Stefen's ears only.]

[Action]

[wildgift]

Perfect. I wasn't planning on it.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Then... Good night, Stefen. [It's too much to ask him not to want one last kiss. The bond is far too compelling.]

[Action]

[wildgift]

Will I still be able to find you in the morning?

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I'll be upset if you don't.

[Action]

[wildgift]

Until then, I suppose.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Until then. [He presses a kiss to Stefen's cheek.]

[Action]

[wildgift]

Please try not to run away in the night. I'd hate to have to chase you.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Was that a threat? [Was he just threatened by a Bard?]

[Action]

[wildgift]

Yes, it was. Last I heard you're supposed to meet someone named "Felix," after all, and I'd like to know where you are in the morning.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

You're welcome to come find me. [As far as he knows, they'll be experimenting with dreams.] I would like to break fast with you.

[Action]

[wildgift]

As you wish, then. I'll come find you.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I'll wait for you.

[Action]

[wildgift]

Then I'll try not to be late. Though I find it unfair that you'll be awake before I will.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I've never been one to sleep in. The last time I was anywhere close to lazy was before my Gifts activated.

But I'll still wait for you.

[Action]

[wildgift]

That, dear Herald, is appreciated. Hopefully you won't be kept waiting too long.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I don't know - it could be amusing to wake you.

[Action]

[wildgift]

I might agree with that--depending on how you choose to do it. [What is shame]

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Stefen.

[Going to be red forever.]

[Action]

[wildgift]

Yes, Vanyel? [Innocent face forever.]

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Did the Bards fail to teach you etiquette? [Oh but he's smiling.]
