It's painful to think of my little brother and the memories we could have shared together growing up... I hope that when we reunite there is still time to build our bond.
My memories of my lost brother are hazy at best, but my mothers’ stories have convinced me that he is someone I want to know. I won’t rest until I find him, wherever he’s gone.
He's... so kind. It's unbelievable how someone could be as sweet as he is without asking for anything in return. Even more unbelievable that he'd give me more than a passing glance, but I'm going to do whatever I can to be the kind of man who deserves him... even though he seems to think I already am.
Shran doesn't give himself a lot of credit, but when I look at him I see a man so devoted, so determined, so ready to love and be loved it's a bit painful. I hope I can show him that being vulnerable isn't a weakness, it's the bravest thing anyone can do. Is it too early to say I love him, too?
I couldn’t tell you what I’d do without my favorite healer. And healing aside... he’s pretty damn cute, don’t you think?
He's big and blue and cuddly - what more could you want?
Miraad is awesome! They’re so smart, it’s amazing to hear all the things they know about the plants and things we find out exploring. Whenever we’re down in the dirt poking at something new we’ve found, and their goggles are pushed up on their forehead, and they’re talking so fast ‘cause they’re so excited, I could just kiss them! ...um. That is to say. I like them a lot.
Sen is one of the best research partners anyone could ask for! He's great at fighting off beasties, and so gentle with delicate plants and insects that I give him! Sometimes I catch him smiling at me in that fond way he does and well... sometimes science can take a break.
When I was little I worried that she might not approve of my passion for baking - it’s so different from her own dedication to combat and protection - but in hindsight I’ve no idea why. Without her teaching me how to precisely apply eyeliner I doubt I’d have the steady hand for icing I do today!
Though Katau's passions run quite divergent from my own, I have always believed in the benefits of cross-training, and helping him with his recipes trains task management and fine motor skills like no other regimen!
I’m so grateful for how she’s always encouraged and supported me, finding cookbooks for me to reference and reassuring me when the recipes I tried didn’t turn out perfectly. I’ve tried to take her advice that things don’t need to be flawless to be appreciated to heart.
I see a lot of myself in Katau, not the least of which being his drive for perfection and beauty in his craft. He knows that I love his creations regardless of how many flaws he sees, and one day I hope he'll actually believe me...
Me? Have a kid? Don’t be ridiculous.
Though I suppose he does resemble me a bit... and he’s decent with a knife... hm. Oh. Not sure how I feel about him being an assassin... I’ll... get back to you.
Sometimes I'm like, "wouldn't it be great to have a dad that would teach me things and encourage me?", but then I remember that I've pushed my luck enough in this life already.
Viintaas is sweet, steady, and far too kind for her own good. Luckily, I handle all the battles and she takes care of the library patrons. We make a good team and there's no other woman I'd want by my side.
My wife Rovaan is the spark of light I need to see the true beauty of the world. She likes to say that there's nothing in that world more beautiful than me, but that's hard to believe when SHE is such an example.
Daniikhi is a delightful little spitfire - oh gods wait don't tell them I called them little!
What’s not to love about Yolo, an eager spark to charge my own flames? The blaze we can make together is exhilarating.
There is nothing more fun than stealing Zharkur's oranges! Fruit always tastes sweeter when it's stolen... and grown by a man as sweet and steady and handsome as Zharkur!
Frankly it’s unbelievable what Kaaz thinks he can get away with. I work hard to grow these oranges, and then he brazenly comes along to steal them again and again! It’s baffling, almost like he wants to get caught... though I guess it’s partly my fault, since it’s oddly difficult to deny him when he gives me that poor lost kitten look.
Zeshau's over-excited energy is an acquired taste - luckily I have had many years of experience training the hellhound pups and his eagerness is not unlike theirs. I appreciate his company and help with training - even if he does enjoy distracting me.
I was so excited to finally meet a hellhound, and Kriik is the best hellhound EVER! They’re so strong and so fast and just amazing at everything. I love running with them and having mock-fights and even helping out with their training because it means I get to be with them and that’s the best place to be!
Sami is kind to me. He does not treat me as if I am a monster. I love to listen to his stories of the world above and the many people he has met. And to feel his skin, so warm compared to the dark waters I live in.
Aluhk is ah... excuse me, I can't seem to stop smiling long enough to think properly!
My missing son is a hole in my Soul. Should I discover who took him from me, they shall face a wrath unlike any they have ever imagined.
My mother Katra is a force to be reckoned with! Though I hope she will stay her hand just long enough for me to explain that the mages have taken very good care of me, even if their botched ritual was what brought me to their world... she's not going to pause long enough for that, is she?
Though Katra assures me she’d know if our son had - that she knows he’s still alive... I can’t help but doubt. He’s so small... I hope wherever he is someone is caring for him.
My mom Sakal, she is mortal you see, and I... I worry that something could happen to her before I return...
Hiraas? Well darn, where do I even start! I don’t believe I’ve ever met anybody more elegant and refined than he is, and he’s ever so gracious too. He’s an absolute darlin’, that’s for sure, and I’m never happier than when I’m all coiled up with him!
Hanesh is an acquired taste. Sweet and generous to a fault, far too trusting, cuddly beyond belief... and annoying as that all is, I wouldn't want him to direct those affections at anyone other than me. His affection is as warm in the sun and I'd happily curl up under that light forever.
Oh, Cyrus is so fun! All rough and hard one minute, but you touch him the right way and he just melts. And I'm not usually one for cuddling, but just you try to refuse when those arms are around you, I dare you.
The little viper. Senkar is smart, cunning, sexy, and the worst part - he knows it. His sly cockiness would be annoying if it didn't come with... certain perks.
Cyrus is... y'know, he's alright. Pushy bastard, but he's got some good ideas. Not that I'm personally familiar with any of those ideas. Especially not in bed. Nope. Not me.
Romar has a hell of a fiance, and I can rest easy knowing he's treating that little prince right. I gotta admit it's just as fun arguing with him about woodworking as it is handling other types of wood together.
Cyrus' gruff exterior is so very adorable considering how much warm affection he's capable of. He'd grumble to hear me say it, but I think he knows it's true.
Oren is... uh... next question please. No I'm not blushing that's idiotic. This interview is over.
Cyrus is kind of scary, honestly. But I know he'd never hurt me, and it's nice to have someone that scary on your side when you're in trouble.
Teagan is like... a tiny puppy you find in the rain. It's just so sad and pathetic you can't help but take care of it. I do what I can to make him more street savvy, but I think he must enjoy me coming to his rescue...
You wouldn't think that someone so outwardly surly would have such a big heart - but oh, you'd be so very wrong. Once you get past that wall, there's so much sweet affection to be shared. And I must admit it's quite fun to tease at that grumpy exterior too.
You'll have a hard time trying to find a man prettier than Sadzhik. Not a lot of people I meet stick around, especially the pretty ones, but I guess he finds something interesting about me... for some reason. Despite that tragic flaw, Sadzhik means a lot to me, and I'm grateful for his friendship. And appreciative. And I show that appreciation any way I can.
[Tearfully] Cyrus took me in when I was just starting to gain confidence as a bard, and believed in me when I thought no one would. Playing music in his bar are some of the best memories I have, and he's one of the closest, most important people in my life.
What to say about Saxx... you'll never find a brighter fire burning in the rain, let me tell you. He gives me a lot of undue credit, but all I did was give him the stage he was born to be on. He's an inspiration to a generation and I'm not exaggerating.
Whiterock is stricter than Vyorin, but it's a fun challenge~ His emotions are a little harder to find, but when I do feel one I'm so happy!!
I’m intrigued by Qibiik’s magical talents and eager to see what I might learn from him. Oh, you meant how I think of him personally. He’s... sweet. Cute. I’m... fond of him.
He’s a tough kid, and I’m proud of him for that. What I’m NOT proud of is the way he treats that sweet Guardian of his. Don’t know why in gods’ names he thinks that’s okay, but as he’s reminded me a few times now, I can’t send him to his room for it anymore. Just gotta hope something knocks some sense into his head before he fucks up something he can’t fix.
Yeah I definitely fight with Aithemis more than Ezra. We're both too hot-headed when we get frustrated and things... really blow up. He raised me to be tough and take no shit, then turns around and tells me my ambitious are too dangerous. I'm gonna do things my way and he can either be proud that I can stand on my own feet or not - I don't care.
Shaan was such a sweet child. I don’t really understand why or when he became so angry, but I hope that simply offering to listen helps show him I still care. If nothing else, my invitations to tea mean I get to see Mulhaan more often, and reassure myself that they’re both doing... reasonably alright.
I know my father means well, but it's impossible to talk to him when he refuses to see my side of things and constantly questions my motives! Just because I'm not satisfied with "good" and want to be "great", suddenly everything I do demands scrutiny. Can't he just give me support and let me figure things out the way I want to?
