(no subject)

Characters: Rosie, Vanyel, and Farraige.
Summary: Nerds talkin' about feelings and stuff
Date(s): Before the au event
Warnings/Notes: Talk of relationships, language, potentially nsfw!

[This was a conversation a long time coming, when Farraige first learned of Rosie's relationship with Vanyel, he felt like he shouldn't have interfered, especially with the way their relationship went. But he felt himself drawn back to Rosie again and again. The fact that she and Vanyel had an open relationship did make things easier on his conscience. But that would only do for so long. A part of him he didn't want to admit did feel a little possessive for someone that made him feel like she did.

So perhaps it was high time they meet. Farraige didn't like feeling like he was hiding, and he had to admit some part of him felt like something of an outsider. But even with that feeling, he would be unlikely to give up how he felt about Rosie. It was just as well, he had wanted to meet Vanyel in Eudio but circumstances didn't permit. Even if his memory of their conversations had grown a little hazy in the interim, he remembered Vanyel speaking as a stand-up person. With no idea of how time and the change in scenery might have affected him, Farraige hoped he would still be as decent seeming a person as he remembered. It's this moment Farraige finds himself in, waiting for the two to arrive at his home.

[ It definitely did have a nice ring to it, hm? Rosie thinks so too. She already puffed up proudly when anyone called Vanyel 'hers.' She'd likely to the same now when it came to Farraige. ]

Farraige knows about me too, [ she feels the need to interject. Showing her true self, as Vanyel likely knew, wasn't something she did openly. Once Vanyel had become privvy to it though, she admits it'd come easier with Farraige. Even now, she'd likely be inclined to show someone if they asked and didn't seem like someone to have their feelings change because of it. ]

The wolf side of me, I mean. And that's... That's really my hand, so.

[Perhaps unsurprisingly, Vanyel also likes the sound of that. He doesn't mind in the least being called 'hers', even if there is a small, decidedly dragonish part of him that would have preferred it to be the other way around.

He smiles again at Farraige's response, unable to help himself.]
Fair enough.

[The smile fades, though, as Farraige keeps talking. His brows shoot toward his hairline at that mention of a 'hitchhiker,' but... well, it sounds like Farraige's been dealing with it for some time - long enough to know its limits and how it generally behaves, at least. Then Rose chimes in, and... It goes a long way toward easing his worries, actually. She knew that, and still felt secure enough to entrust him with a secret she usually tends to keep as close to her chest as she can get away with. If her obvious fondness for Farraige weren't enough of a recommendation, that seals the deal.]

Then I suppose it's my turn, isn't it? [He asks, but the question is entirely rhetorical. Addressing Farraige directly, he continues] I'm what's know in my homeland as 'Dragonborn' - human body, dragon soul. Which mostly manifests as the ability to use their magic as instinctively as they do themselves... [And while it's tempting to stop there, the point was full disclosure.] And to absorb the knowledge and power of any I defeat in combat.

I, uh. I got bowled over by a cheese wheel at one of Eudio's festivals.

[ It's still funny to think about, actually. ]

He healed me and we chatted a little bit. Met again at the Jade Shrine. Went on an official nature date after that. Happened to both be at an orgy and hooked up, y'know.

Usual couple stuff.

[He lets Rose tell it, only cracking when she describes what happened at the orgy as 'usual couple stuff,' biting back laughter but unable to help a grin.]

And only had anymore official dates afterward - which strikes me as a little out of order, but. It seems to have worked out for us, doesn't it?

[The question is directed at Rose, along with a smile that might be just a touch on the soppy side.]

I'd say it's worked out pretty great. [ Her own expression in kind is sweet and shmoopy and-

Oh. Oh, no. He's choking. Oh, no. It's adorable. There's no hiding the way that Rose grins at his red face, obviously endeared. For even what they've done together, she knows Farraige is a bit more reserved. Which is why she's a little surprised at the swear.
]

As many ways as they can, I imagine. And I can see why! I've been having a lot of fun trying out new things.

[That's... not entirely unexpected, honestly. He knows his upbringing -and the resulting lack of anything resembling reserve or shame- was fairly unusual.

Doesn't mean the coughing isn't a tad concerning, at first. But once that's under control, and the flush remains...]


Oh. [He glances Rose's way again.] You were right - that is adorable. [Which probably isn't going to help Farraige stop blushing anytime soon, whoops.]

I've always thought so, anyway. [And there is an actual answer for Farraige, if he'd rather not dwell on the fact that Vanyel and Rose have apparently discussed his attractiveness in some detail.]

Isn't it? [ she agrees, easily.

And of course she has to snort a laugh at his unintentional innuendo. It's cute. Though it does also give her some rather... interesting ideas for the future, whenever Farraige is ready.

Speaking of,
] I do. I'm sure Vanyel does too, but that's- It's not a problem with me at all. I want you to be comfortable. That was kind of the point of getting together like this and all.

[He has to bite his cheek at the unintentional innuendo but it does still get a chuckle out of him - because they'd discussed that too, he and Rose, and the idea's only become more appealing in the face that reaction.

But he doesn't want to make Farraige uncomfortable any more than Rose does. So though there's a quippy response on the tip of his tongue -'we could if you'd like'- he swallows that too.]


Of course. [He says instead.] I don't mean to cause you any discomfort either. I'm content to let things happen in their own time.

Getting you used to it is what we're here for, [ she says. ] Well, we're here for more than that! But still.

I won't push or anything but y'know. If you're ever wanting to try something new or move a little further, then I'm more than happy to help.
drehnifusbahi: (*total sincerity*)

[personal profile] drehnifusbahi 2017-10-10 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[He aims a quick glance Rose's way, equal parts fond and exasperated, that clear says 'down, girl.']

Likewise. [And that part is for Farraige.] I won't push either, of course, but... [But if Farraige wants to experiment, Vanyel is more than willing to help.]

I'd like you to be able to tell them they were full of it, too.

[ Rose doesn't know the whole of things so she can't rightfully say such a thing, but- It doesn't stop her from thinking it all the same. She wants Farraige to be able to do what he wants without worry of how his involvement might affect things or feel like he can't for any such reasons. Rose herself had spent too much of her life believing things of a similar vein and she'll happily hop on the opportunity to help someone else in that way. ]

Well, boys, [ she says, smiling big and bright and, for once, genuine as can be. ] I think we've got ourselves the start to a good relationship.

[He knows even less than Rose, but. He's fundamentally opposed to anyone having to hide or repress themselves. So]

Agreed. [He says, and smiles at both of them.] On both counts.
