Sacred moments in time.

Halsin, despite being the scholar he is, can't seem to pay attention to any of the words on the page. All focus is on the slender, steady hands braiding his hair. On the closeness.

Nobody's taken care of him, before.

It's nice.

I painted over my Halsin portrait with his hair down for science and

oh my fucking god

somebody call me an ambulance

Halsin one shot of him letting his hair down and Tav's reaction and/or helping him wash it.

Thank you for your patience!

Tav closed her eyes, relaxing against the side of the wooden tub that served as a bathtub in the Elfsong Tavern. Humming a tune from her childhood, she finally felt a sense of peace after months of turmoil. Tonight, the Netherbrain was defeated. The tadpole was gone. Her friends were safe. There were, of course, always more concerns. The remaining Absolute cultists had to be dealt with, and there was still the matter of the fate of the Crown of Karsus, but for the moment she let herself enjoy the idea that all was right in the world.

Sinking deeper into the water, she inhaled, letting the steam fill her lungs and warm her from within. She was so relaxed she nearly missed the sound of a quiet knock at the door. “Come in,” she said languidly, shifting so she was facing the door, pressing her breasts against the side of the tub in case her visitor wasn’t comfortable with seeing her nude, though the steam provided ample cover.

The door opened, and through lidded eyes Tav could see the tall, broad frame of Halsin filling the doorway. “My love,” he began, stepping into the steamy room and closing the door. “I was hoping for your assistance with something.” She watched closely as he crossed the room, body breaking through the steam like an angel descending from heavenly clouds. “Anything for you, Halsin.” While the rest of the party opted for baths here at the Elfsong, Halsin chose to bathe in the river, communing with nature in the process.

When he reached the tub, he knelt down to meet her eyes, though even kneeling the enormous elf still rested above her eye-level. She noticed that although his skin was clean, his hair looked somewhat disheveled, his usually-pristine braids appearing uneven and with strands sticking out at odd angles. She let out a little giggle as she lifted a hand to toy with one of them between her lithe fingers, and he smiled warmly at her, holding her gaze for a moment before speaking. “I suppose you have some idea of what I am about to ask?” 

Tav nodded, tilting her chin down so her nose rested on the tub’s edge, and her eyes looked up at him. “I’m happy to help, my love. Although I thought you did your own braids. Is there something wrong that you’re suddenly struggling with them? Not that I mind helping.” She pressed her feet against the wall of the tub until her back rested against the other side, gesturing for him to join her. 

As Halsin undressed, he explained, “You have a keen mind, my heart. Unfortunately, I am having some trouble unwinding my braids. I suspect they got more tangled than usual during the chaos of our bout with the Netherbrain.” After dropping the last of his clothes to the floor, he stepped inside the tub, sending great waves of hot water over the edges as his mass filled the space. Out of habit, he opened his arms for Tav to relax between them, as was their usual resting position when they bathed together. But she smiled, raising her eyebrows at him. “I believe this requires a little change of pace.” She opened her arms instead, and after a moment of confusion, Halsin let out a chuckle. It was a deep, rumbling sound that erupted from his core, an expression of joy Tav loved more than nearly anything else. “You are not wrong, love. But please, do be careful and let me know if you would like me to move. I worry I may crush you.”

“I trust that you won’t,” Tav reassured as Halsin turned and pressed his back against her, pinning her against the tub's side. She wrapped her bare legs around his chest, and he rested his arms on her shins beneath the water, gently stroking her soft skin. Tav ran her fingers up his strong arms first, exploring the contours of his muscled frame. She traced along the various scars and birthmarks that told the life story that made him the man she loved. 

She placed a sweet kiss into his shoulder as she finally arrived at his hair, beginning to slowly rake her fingers through it to separate the strands. Halsin released a serene sigh as he allowed her to work. Tav lifted the first of his braids and began working away at the knotted ends, allowing Halsin to rest his head back on her shoulder while she did so. “Please do not worry if you need to tug, love. I will understand, you will not hurt me.” 

Tav hummed affirmatively, but still continued on cautiously. She cupped some water in her palm and let it run over the braid, using her other hand to work it through as she loosened up the tangled hair. Eventually the knot holding the bottom together came apart, and she was able to smooth out the strands completely. 

From there, she began running her fingers through the hair on that side of his head until the other braid was free and everything was smooth and neat. Then, she proceeded to repeat the process on his other side, gently lifting his head with both hands and moving it to her other shoulder for easier access.

Throughout, Halsin’s eyes remained closed and he breathed deeply, enjoying the sensations of his lover’s fingers tangled in his hair. He rarely had the chance to let it down over the last few months, and now that their journey had come to an end, he considered whether a change of style would be commensurate with the changes the adventure had wrought in him.

He was not the same man he’d been when the goblins had captured him. Between Thaniel, the mindflayers, and meeting such an extraordinary creature in Tav, he was beginning to see the world differently. Before, complete devotion to nature seemed to be the only option for happiness, but now he considered whether there might be some merit to a more urban lifestyle. Perhaps not city life; he couldn’t deny the fact that the hustle and bustle of Baldur’s Gate still felt jarring and uncomfortable. But a cottage dwelling in a small village didn’t sound so bad. He wondered if Tav would be open to the possibility, though he knew it was still a long way off even if she did agree, as he had obligations to fulfill with the refugees.

Tav interrupted his musings with a kiss on his forehead, murmuring, "there we are." Opening his eyes, he met hers, struck by the purple hue against her silver hair—reminiscent of hydrangeas near the Grove. 

Halsin sat up, turning his body to face hers and taking both her hands in his. They were small and delicate, dwarfed by his palms. He smiled as he gazed at her, studying her face. She was utterly breathtaking, a true miracle of nature, as if Silvanus himself sculpted her. She was all wild beauty and fierce savagery, but with an ethereal quality that rivaled even Chauntea in its rhapsody. He felt truly fortunate to have been chosen by her. 

“Thank you, my heart.” He finally said, breaking the silence. She tilted her head at him, smiling. “You’re welcome. You look much younger with your hair down. It suits you.” She reached up to tuck a strand behind his ear and he captured her wrist back in his hand, bringing it to his lips in a careful kiss. “Funny you say that,” he began, “I was just considering whether to wear it this way for the foreseeable future.” He continued kissing his way up her hand as he spoke, from her wrist to the heel of her palm, then up to the tip of each finger. 

She sighed in contentment as he switched to the other hand. “Well, if it helps at all, I certainly approve.”

Finishing with her hands, he brought his great palm up to her cheek and pulled her face to his. “It does, my love. It does.”

His hair fell wildly around his eyes as he captured her in a passionate kiss.

Headcanon: Every year at the commune, Halsin finds a ton of feral tomcats and neuters them, and every year, still more kittens end up abandoned anyway, distressing the children terribly, so he ends up adopting and fixing them. Usually he cares for them until they're big enough to be weaned off the kitten formula he developed, and then gives them out to the kids whose parents agree, while some stay around the orphanage to keep the little ones company.
