concoctive | SCAWWY 😱 hawke

[ floofy....... ]

Maker. All this intrigue and lies upon secrets. For all that I should be used to it, this nonsense feels more frustrating than usual. I'd rather have it all out and done with but it certainly doesn't like that idea.

Ya know, I'm runnin' out of fingers to count this deja vu on...

[ said as he swaddles hawke in a blanket, the second that he helps to haul her out of the familiar muck of the swamp. if he holds onto her while wrapping it around her, well, no one can blame him, can they. ]

I've got one you can borrow.

[ muzzily like she's not quite awake yet. near drowning on top of everything does that to a person!! but she will lean her very swampy cheek on him for a bit. hey ]

[ well, it'll take a while, but alfyn can be found in the depths of the vineyard because it's so vast and quiet that he'll be able to just.

cry in peace for a while.

so that's how he's found, just. openly weeping, breath hitching and shoulders shaking and all. at least this is not a new image for hawke. ]

[ yeah she.... kinda figured this is how she'd find him. it probably takes her a hot minute with the slight limp she's got and general post cyoa ick but it's fine. it gives him time to get the majority of his private cries out before she gets there.

there's just the quietest of breaths when she does eventually get to him, gently she folding herself on top of alfyn to hug him close. ]

[ there's a hiccup and a deep intake of breath, but alfyn does turn into her when she folds on top of him, gripping her arm carefully. he just didn't want other people to have to feel responsible for his big feelings. ]

... fuck. I hate this place. [ he misses just being a little kid for six hours, flame godsdamn take him. ] We were - we were talkin' about dyin' together on Monday if we were still alive. So that we could make sure other folks had the chance to be in last five standin', but this...

We're almost done. Just a little bit longer. [ Please let it only be a little bit longer. doing this nonsense week after week is exhausting as it is but even moreso when you've made special connections with the people who were the unlucky winners of the week.

his confession though.... she breathes sharply through her nose, the grip on his shirt tightening for just a moment ]

I would have rightfully been very cross with you if you didn't say anything beforehand. Though I'd say at this point you're rather stuck keeping our fool selves alive.

[ there's a weak, miserable laugh at her response, humorless, because. well. he would have been very cross with her for the same reason, and he knows what's going to happen come sunday. ]

I know. I would've said somethin'. You give me a right heart attack constantly, think it's only fair, tellin' you. [ but it wouldn't have swayed his answer. ] We still... ten people have to die, Hawke. And we've already lost so many godsdamned people.

[ maker. don't remind her. ]

this weekend surely will be interesting. here's to no one being a little too ready to start knifing everybody.

[ that's the weakest attempt of a joke but she's also half serious. the chances of someone just being Ready To Go on tomorrow night is uuuuuuh. probably pretty high. here's hoping they don't have a body pileup!! ]

[ grimaces. ]

You think maybe somebody'll try to earn the ire of a monster on purpose..?

[ suicide by monster, so to speak. ]

[ nyehs ]

I won't discount anything at this point. Either or, really.

[ whatever method that thins their currently bloated numbers by half. she'd rather just drink poisoned wine, thanks ]

[ she saw you flying in the end there, mr apothecary. are you alive?? ]

Still got all your parts after that fun?

[ he lets out a weak laugh and gives her a flex. ]

Sore all over, but I worked up a concoction the moment I could get upright again. Figure I'll slap a salve all over every bit of me once things calm down.

You missin' anythin'?

[ eyeballs him and all his bits until she's deemed him alive enough not to fall over dead again ]

Not even a scratch. This whole nonsense wasn't nearly as fun as the sea monster.

I think I could've gone without the weirdness comin' outta that thing's mouth more than anythin' else.

[ bonks his head into her shoulder though for affection. the vibes coming off of him are relieved. ]

[ groans ]

Maker. Leaving some of this up to those three probably didn't do us any favors.

[ TEENAGED BOYS ARE ALL ALIKE. grumbles affectionately while she gives him a head scritch. ]

I wouldn't just leave it at three... maybe four.

[ laughing tiredly against her, his own shoulders shaking as he closes his eyes with the scritching. ]

Really left Asa behind with all that, huh.

Totty's excused for making a rather wonderful final blow to end all of this.

[ continues scritching as she talks ]

And she did volunteer. I've no doubt she's secretly just as bad. [ HER TERRIBLE DENJI CRUSH.... ]

It really was amazin', wasn't it? He really destroyed that thing.

[ he was responsible for the horniness, but still. ]

She did. And she did great with it. They all did.

[ only a true virgin chad could take out a fellow virgin with such devastating accuracy ]

They did. I'm rather proud of them. Maker knows I've been anxious all week wondering how it'd all turn out but they managed quite well.
