Khy'eras

Artemis chuckled over-loudly as the mix of drink, Dáire, and the last bit of Lynwood's story finally broke past his pretense of seriousness. He lay his head back against the large Elf's chest and tossed a hand lazily into the air. "I'll tell one now then, but it will be a bit more shiver induci...

Artemis groaned softly in comfort as Dáire’s warmth wrapped around him again. The magic Vanessa released had been like the salve the doctor administered, leaving him with a cold tingle and then sense of how truly tired he was. When his lover leaned down to whisper in his ear he shivered and grinned....

Artemis stood up, moving over towards Kip without really seeing Vanessa any longer. He felt comfortable, cool, he felt like his mother was there again. He stopped just in front of her, reaching his hand out as he would to a stray cat, fingers curled in a wrist down. Kip murred at him and hopped onto...

“Ah, Lady Bard,” Artemis said only loud enough for her and Dáire to hear. When she stopped mid step he grinned, flopping back down onto the bed. “Thank you, for going so hard to protect the boy, I know I would do the same, and I have an inkling of the dangers you’re facing to do it.

Artemis watched Cassian, the constant shift in emotions fading into the background even after a few minutes. He’d worked with many folks with odd ticks, patterns of speech, damaged bodies, to ignore a feature and cut to the heart of the words was one of the things that had kept him alive. He nodded ...

Artemis couldn’t help himself, only the firm and loving grasp of Dáire kept him restrained from joining in the wild display. Which was good, because even that gentler pull had made him fill the twinge in his chest and the weakness in his knees. So instead, he settled, leaning against the warm firmne...

“Wait you said LaNore!” Artemis interrupted Vanessa suddenly, his smile broadening to a brilliant boyish grin. “You’re the Legend Seeker! You have to sing us a song!” he exclaimed as all other thoughts flew away. He practically danced in place, the thought of a famous bard being in his home overwhe...

Artemis reluctantly broke from the delicious warmth of Dáire’s mouth to slide down and listen to his lover’s introductions. It sounded very much like he’d brought home a stray and Artemis was already doing the mental calculations for beds when he felt a burning shiver go through his body. His eyes s...
