@LarksVoice ❝ indeed they will. you're the most phenomenal bard... besides myself, of course. ❞

she licks her lips, which are coated in sugar.

❝ i say, perhaps we should attend an event together sometime. some dinner, some wedding nearby. ❞

[❛ 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐲𝐞. @CAERULEllS]

oops — almost forgot a nice glass of wine.

make that a bottle, she's got no other plans today.

[❛ 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐲𝐞. @CAERULEllS]

she was supposed to clean the floor of her house, but got tired & decided to recline on the couch with a good book of poetry instead.

[❛ 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐲𝐞. @CAERULEllS]

@LarksVoice she passes him a bun, eagerly taking two more for herself.

❝ are you, now ? had enough of regaling kings & lovely ladies across the continent ? ❞

i am tired of loving
you. i am tired of grasping
grief like a root in the
stumbling dark. my
body is becoming a
catalogue of bite marks
& bruising.

@LarksVoice ❝ pastries too ! ooh, you shouldn't have. ❞

she ushers him to the nearest chair, & busies herself with pouring him a cup of wine, which she hands to him gracefully.

❝ now, do share your story first. would you like one of the sugared buns ? ❞

[❛ 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐲𝐞. @CAERULEllS]

@LarksVoice ❝ oooh, i've been at home with my music & books. i just finished my tour of the north, & will happily enjoy my time of rest. ❞

she beckons him indoors enthusiastically.

❝ come, come. i'll pour you some wine, & we can talk freely. ❞

[❛ 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐲𝐞. @CAERULEllS]

@LarksVoice she opens the door for him, bright blue eyes shining with happiness, & pulls him into a tight hug.

❝ ah, jaskier ! welcome, welcome in ! ❞

[❛ 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐲𝐞. @CAERULEllS]

@LarksVoice wonderful, she'll keep the door unlocked.

[❛ 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐲𝐞. @CAERULEllS]

@LarksVoice but of course he may visit ! her dear friend is always most welcome.

Have you ever had a hunger that whetted itself on what you fed it, sharpened so keen and bright that it might split you open, break a new thing out?

❝ running from some lovely ladies' angry husbands again ? do tell. ❞

she jabs him in the ribs lightly.

[𝘑𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘦𝘳 ❀ @tunesofjaskier]

He laughs at that, rolling his eyes.

“You’re the funniest bard on the continent,” Jaskier jests, giving her a fond glance.

“Uh. . . Occupied with certain issues.”

[❛ 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐲𝐞. @CAERULEllS]

oh, go on then.

she puts the bottle back & sits down expectantly.

[𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞, 𝘎𝘸𝘺𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘯 - Parody - @RoseLaPlusNoire]

Oh, no worries!!

She could take the thing out the boring way, but she likes showing off. It's like a party trick.

picks up the bottle, shaking it.

maybe this will make the cork pop out ?

[𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞, 𝘎𝘸𝘺𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘯 - Parody - @RoseLaPlusNoire]

She's going to shoot an arrow at a corked bottle and see if that's an impressive fancy new way of taking the cork out.

[queer lit bot ✒️ @queerlitbot]

She could not resist sometimes yielding to the charm of a woman, not a girl, of a woman confessing, as to her they often did, some scrape, some folly.
