#and also the way ephael just openly goes 'so you'll spend more time with me? :D'

thinking about hestio/ephael and the "if we had a decent tank or healer, i wouldnt even have to talk to him" "does that mean you'll keep hanging out with me? :D" "oh, forget it". the "hey. take your arm off my head. take it off?" i love ephael being annoying to hestio without a care in the world + hestio telling him off + hestio is still always seen by his side + they're still stuck together like a set pair after 10+ years

#hestio/ephael #ill be real guys i keep yapping abt tes/hes bc hestio is just easier to write #but hestio/ephael is the OG like my shipping pilled brain was already putting them tgt in my head on my first read through #whatever dynamic i come up w for teshes is not going to be as funny as ephael actively doing shit that makes hestio tell him off #and then still sticking by his side anyway #and also the way ephael just openly goes 'so you'll spend more time with me? :D' #and also the way that you can tell that Both of them see the other as part of themselves #the whole 'if you keep being formal w us we wont be friends w you anymore' scene #hestio saying WE and speaking for ephael and ephael not objecting to that at all even tho its clearly his first time hearing abt this plan #okay ! #damn i shouldve written some ephael/hestio before i started on tes/hes #its the way i had to brainwash myself into 'ok so hestio being hopelessly in love has to be a core part of his characterisation for any #of this to work' #but for ephael/hestio it's literally already right there #sniffles. i wonder how they became friends when their temperaments are so different #its also so cute how theyre so different but they share the same views on a lot of small things and important things too #peas in a pod.... but also light/dark colour scheme... waow.... #the thing is that theres absolutely no central story beats that i can think of for a ephael/hestio stoty #theyre just chilling and being funny little guys #and if i bring tesilid in. wtv story im trying to tell would be much more effectively and efficiently written using a monogamous r/s #sadge.....
