Return!

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I'm tired, Mun. What do you wish of me? I have played your games before and found little enjoyment in them.

[He looks up from darning a blanket. Why yes, he can darn. Shut up. It's manly.]

What do you mean anything is possible?

You're ruining my perfectly good wallow in self-pity, ashke.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I won't let you wallow. You don't deserve it.

[twinspeech]

I was enjoying it.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

You enjoy wallowing?

Have you become twisted?

[twinspeech]

You know what I meant.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Did you want for me to make it better?

[twinspeech]

And how do you propose to do that?

[vanyel_ashkevron]

It starts with this... [His lips find Tylendel's neck. He kisses the skin softly.]

[twinspeech]

A good start, I think. And where from there?

[vanyel_ashkevron]

[He arches a brow playfully, slipping his hands under Tylendel's shirt.]

Right here...

[twinspeech]

It seems you've learned a thing or two, Vanyel-ashke.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Only from my dreams, Lendel. No one could replace you.

[twinspeech]

Don't say that.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Even if it's the truth?

[twinspeech]

It isn't.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

How do you know?

[twinspeech]

Because I know you. You deserve another chance to be happy.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

It's…hard for me to imagine myself with anyone but you. I even encountered a lad who looked like you. He offered himself to me - because he wanted something out of me - and I was sorely tempted. But I didn't…

[twinspeech]

Please don't shut yourself away from people again.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I love you, Lendel. That hasn't changed.

[twinspeech]

I know, Vanyel-ashke. But that doesn't make it right for you to be lonely.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I've chosen a lonely occupation. Or, rather, it was chosen for me.

[twinspeech]

Heralds are human too, Van.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Not many can bear my burden. The kingdom needs me.

[twinspeech]

Heralds are always needed.
