💙: per'kele watching matthias appear like a vengeful spirit

"i have no sanity meter. start running."

Stumbling back, Matthias hisses - then mutters another prayer.

"Sarenrae forgive me, but I ask that you witness this."

He mumbles calmly, before deciding that it's now or never.

A soft chant murmured in draconic, eyes closed. Listening to scales scrape against the ground, waiting.

Then he -
[ The audience murmers. Matthias' opponent spits malice in his face, swerving out of the blade's way ]

[ Ghirahim watches intently, his eyes narrowing at this attempt of mercy ]

[ The serpent slithers back rearing to charge the human ]
Time for a finisher.

A lazy spin, sleeves of the captain's coat whirling around as he raises his blade, almost as if preparing for a killing blow - but instead, he gently and swiftly brings the flyssa to the serpent's neck - right where the head connects . . . But doesn't strike.

"Gotcha. Yield ?"
November 26, 2025 at 4:42 AM
"Mhm."

He doesn't verbalize much, just letting her drink in his warmth, his scent, that of tropical fruits and a sea breeze . . . His sounds, the constant thumping of his heart and rhythm of his breath. The way his undershirt and trousers brush against exposed skin - well taken care of and soft.
" ... i'd like that a lot. "

she lets her eyes close. peaceful ... a soft squeeze is given, just to let him know he's nice and safe in her arms. if he isn't careful, she very well could fall asleep like that.

" comfy? "
"Then no more trauma dumping. Just you, and I, and the moment. I'm not gonna leave this time - we can just . . . Stay like this, aye ?"

His voice isn't salacious - just soft, affectionate, almost reminiscent of waves lapping at some secluded cove at dusk.

[ The serpents eyes flash with malice. It attempts to bite and grapple Matthias, furious and reckless already ]

[ Some champion... ]
A simple parry, a fluid sidestep - swordplay is his bread and butter.

"Vile ? Damn, I was sure I put on something to cover up my body odor earlier today . . . "

He taunts, remaining on the defensive at first - waiting. After the spin-strike, the human goes on the offensive, still not using his -
November 26, 2025 at 4:28 AM
. . . I'll make myself fit, if I'm welcome. I'm rather . . . Flexible, aye ? Slept in some pretty shitty places.
hell, i sound like m’ from the mountains. cuz i am! i ain’t gonna judge ya for how ya talk, dingdong.

( a wave of the hand. he’s one of the least judgmental people around. )

if you can fit in my nest, yer welcome.
Oh, I just . . . Try not to sound like a pirate. It's a habit. Bad habit.

[ A soft smile. ]

Been a while since I . . . Errr, shared a bunk with any reptilian folk. Always a good time.
November 26, 2025 at 4:25 AM
"You're so cold ! We need to get you some sunshine, starshine."

He huffs, pulling his broad captain's coat around both of them, trying to funnel more body heat into his 'captive' pinned beneath him.

" . . . You're one of the few people I've told about my family."
he was so warm … she certainly won’t complain about being used as a pillow for now. she rubs her nose into the crook of his neck. her own body feels like a corpse almost. cold to the touch.

“ i don’t exactly get positive touch these days … so this is a very much welcomed change. “
"Mmmm . . . I got too sad and bored, so I decided . . . I wanted an Eve bed ! That's your purpose now."

He teases, shifting his weight so he's not fully bearing down on her, but still enough weight to be comfortable.

"I'm glad that you're okay with what most people would consider too intimate. ~"
November 26, 2025 at 4:24 AM
"You are such a sweet thing . . . Here, let me just . . ."

He lowers himself down the ground so Ratha has control over the situation - a dangerous move, but one Matthias feels confident in.

"Here. Is this better ?"

Despite this, Matthias' muscles tense, as if anticipating a pounce . . .
Ratha can sense the curiosity and takes a cautious step back . Head tilted –

` rrr.. ? ` As if acknowledging his name .

𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘢𝘴 ?
𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥 ?

... The wyvern then resumes its playful gnawing . * ✨
"I've never seen a wyvern like you before . . ."

He hums, using the hand that Ratha isn't licking to trace along the wyvern's scales gently.

"Hmhm, well, I'm Matthias, yeah ?"

He chuckles softly, continuing his own assault of kindness and affection.
November 26, 2025 at 4:22 AM
"I'll be around - if you need to call for me, just . . . "

He fishes in his jacket pockets, the deep pockets of the sailing gear holding what can only be described as an astral void.

"Use this."

He pulls out a rune-inscribed stone, the smooth surface resonating with arcane magic.
Oh, now he was talking her language! She liked the idea of that… Truth be told, she loved gestures such as this.

“A date? I love the way you think, dear~”

She smiled, showing the sharp fangs she had. This dragon was definitely looking forward to it…
"Aren't you the divine spirit here ? Frankly, I should treat you ! As much as I'm a pirate-y swashbuckler, I do still venerate the divine . . . The holy divine, not . . . "

He gestures downwards vaguely.

"Evil. Anyways ! We could make it a date !"

does farosh know that the threat of eating me makes me feel things ,

i wouldn’t turn that down. 🎶
it’d be nice, even. cold-blooded things like myself get real cold durin’ the autumn and winter. ain’t good for us.

( raising a brow. poking his nose with a claw. )

no need to change the way ya talk for lil’ ol’ me there, blondie.
Then I won't slay you, but uh. 'Slay' you, if that be something ye'd . . . That would be something you'd enjoy.

[ Trying so hard not to pirate slang. A little flustered over it. ]

[ Trying so hard not to pirate slang. A little flustered over it. ]
heh. nah, neither of those. i just run a lab in the middle of the woods. i keep to myself. the dragon things are actually a very new addition to my body.
Okay well as long as you don't eat innocent people or raze villages then . . . We're good.

[ Sticking his tongue out. ]

( a soft snort. )

maybe. though, my wings haven’t fully grown yet. they are just little nubs.
November 26, 2025 at 3:08 AM
Do I actually have game ?

I feel like, this is the most action I've gotten in a year.
November 26, 2025 at 3:05 AM
. . . Do you want me to ?

[ Eyebrow waggle. ]
yeah? that’s kinda funny … i am becomin’ a bit more draconic lately.

ya gonna slay me, adventurer?
November 26, 2025 at 3:01 AM
I'm an adventurer. Normal would bore me. So. Hmhm. ~
that’s enough reason for me.
even if i ain’t the most normal guy. if ya don’t mind that, theeeen. 🎶

He gestures downwards vaguely.

"Evil. Anyways ! We could make it a date !"
“I fear they just do not have taste. Is that so? I do believe you would adore Lurelin Village.. It’s a cozy village on the beach.”

She cocked a brow at him with a smile. She hummed thinking of the seafood there.

“Perhaps I’ll treat you to a meal there one day~”
"Well, I'm glad to be here. It does remind me of home - my actual home, I mean. I lived . . . Live in the tropics. I'm something of a swashbucking pirate do-gooder."

He chuckles at her compliment.

"I've been called entertaining, but more often, annoying or a pest, or an interloper . . ."
November 26, 2025 at 2:53 AM

"I'm glad that you're okay with what most people would consider too intimate. ~"
“ i am glad you got that for you now then. it sounds like a solid purpose. for now, i don’t think i really ha—oouuu—!! “

flopping right over, giggling. she doesn’t seem to mind in the slightest. both arms and legs wrap around him. trapped!

“ what are you dooooing! “
"Piracy ? Stealing from the Chelaxian navy and merchants that deal with them ? Being an adventurer for hire ? Gods . . . I love it. I could die any day, but I'd die protecting the world I love."

He sighs wistfully, drapping himself over her, attempting to playfully pin her down - any discomfort -

[ The serpent hisses angrily, lowering itself to the floor before darting back and forth towards Matthias. It winds up to spin-strike the human ]

' Vile thing..! '
November 26, 2025 at 2:48 AM
Plus uhhhh . . .

I like dudes ?

[ Wolfish smile. ]
November 26, 2025 at 2:44 AM
. . . You're cute. That's it.
November 26, 2025 at 2:41 AM
Yes.

Y O U .

and wealthy, she felt oddly out of place. she could never relate to their arrogance. how they felt they were above everyone else.

she could only relate to her mother.

“ … are you happy doing what you’re doing now? “
November 26, 2025 at 2:35 AM
[ Staring. Blue-eyed stare. ]

I.

Wont.

You.

🫵
( CHOKING ON HIS OWN SPIT. )

HUH.
[ Looking left. Looking right. ]

[ No witnesses ? Good. ]

I want you.
