I do love oranges. Oh, and lemons!

It limits our options. Discovering scurvy is currently out of the question.

<YES! WILL MAKE SELF BIG! FOR CLAY MASK!> With that, he returned to full-size, his face matching Illario’s, and bounced excitedly.

He loved doing masks with Illario. This would be so much fun!

“He calls himself Envy still, but he’s more a spirit of Admiration at this point. Which explains the eyes, so many to see all the wonderful things he finds.”

Illario follows him, and, after setting Envy down in one, sits in the other chair, turning to Envy at the question.

“He is!” Illario grins in admiration of his spirit love, always so curious and happy. Envy instilled a certain protective instinct in him, and Illario would protect him with his life, if need be.

I do wonder what costume I should wear for Harvestmere - aside from the ones I have planned with @alistairthecheesy.bsky.social, of course

Perhaps a fairy, or a naughty little desire demon…

Illario (& Envy) Dellamorte @illarioftreviso.bsky.social · 14h

Or good blood… *[sighs dreamily, thinking of his favorite vampire]*

Solas @oneirologist.bsky.social · 14h

“Hunger demons can be persuasive during Harvestmere with so much good food around.”

"Yes. Truthfully I don't know what in the creators names they were thinking. I wonder just who put them up to it..."

Illario (& Envy) Dellamorte @illarioftreviso.bsky.social · 2d

Zara was… a monster. More demon than the spirits she twisted and abused. My only regret is that I stole the kill from my cousin. He deserved to be the one to end it. Him and Spite both.

I hope that I can meet them, one day. I sometimes wish to disappear as they have.

Illario (& Envy) Dellamorte @illarioftreviso.bsky.social · 2d

Oh… this one was created, in a Venatori lab. The same one that created Spite, and Envy. I… should not have brought it up.

And I don’t blame them for not leaving. Thedas is unkind to anybody even a little different.

<YES! ENVY WON’T HURT! FUNNY MAN! ALWAYS AM WANTING! TO BE GOOD!>

His eyes blinked independently of each other, still looking around the new space.

“If it would help, Spite does sometimes inhabit Lucanis’s body. I-“

He’s cut off by Phillipe’s exclamation, and laughs to himself.

“That’s Envy! Not to worry, he’s very sweet.”

Illario walks over, and picks up Envy, still as ball.

He’d found this place by accident, stepped in on a whim, but now he’d made a friend for life. A passing thought - as to whether or not he’d be interested in expanding his properties to Antiva.

He grins, endeared by this funny man, and wondered what Lucanis would make of him.

All this talk of vampires make me think of my my future brother-in-law, Lys @littlesongbirdlys.bsky.social.

Who is definitely /not/ a vampire. Just possessed by a hunger demon, who gave him fangs, so he could drink blood…

Completely different.

Illario (& Envy) Dellamorte @illarioftreviso.bsky.social · 4d

And I’m glad to hear about the werewolves. I’ve never met one, but I would be honored to.

Illario (& Envy) Dellamorte @illarioftreviso.bsky.social · 4d

Technically, he’s possessed by a spirit of Voracity, that craves blood, and allows him to grow fangs, but… vampire is a quicker explanation, no?

Anyway, he’s also my cousin’s partner. They met during the war, and are madly in love with each other. It’s all rather adorable.

A real one?!
I know werewolves are real. They live in peace with the trees now

Illario (& Envy) Dellamorte @illarioftreviso.bsky.social · 4d

Oh! I have! But, he would kill me for referring to him as a vampire.

It wouldn’t be the first time he tried, either.

<YES! ENVY AND SPITE! SPA DAY!>

Envy had become ball and was rolling around the spa, more eyes opening at every new thing he saw. Rio shook his head at the antics, completely endeared by his spirit.

“Ah, yes! My mask. Trust me, there is no rush. One of the perks of retirement.” He laughed.

Illario (& Envy) Dellamorte @illarioftreviso.bsky.social · 4d

Rio decided this man was good people, and he’d fund whatever he needed to keep his spa afloat.

“He is, by a spirit of Spite. It’s… a long story, but they’re at peace now.” He nodded, with a grin. “And while he’s not too fond of me, I think he’d love a trip to a spa such as this.”

I don’t know. Maybe being a vampire…they find joy, are happy? I’ve never met one.

"Do they want to be healed? Vampires don't dream. They are safer from me in this form."

Oh, that could not be more perfect for the wedding.

Perhaps, I could even have it painted as cheese wheel…

*[chuckles at his reaction to his name]*

I am, indeed. He’s my cousin. If you would like, I can tell him about you, and your spa. Now. I can’t promise anything, but…

I cannot blame you, though. I adore my cousin. Though, we’re more like brothers.

“Enchanté de faire votre connaissance, monsieur De La Fontaine. Illario, de la Maison Dellamorte, à votre service..” He replied, bowing in return. After a moment’s consideration, he decided to go with the Rivaini clay option.

“Je suis assez intéressé par l'option argile Rivaini.”

*[Illario was growing more and more entertained and endeared by this man. Strangely enough, he felt the need to flirt with him waning. He couldn’t explain it, but, for some reason, he truly did just want to be friends with him.]*

*[Even more… he was blushing!*]
