the group of them stare down into the pit below - acrid and sickly green. she's been in enough tombs and caves to know a rush of air like this means something is down there. there's more to explore. a dangerous rumble can be heard as if it's miles away. oh what treasures may be found in this deep and dank void?
who's jumping in first? asked by karlach with an almost nervous laugh. and it's with little thinking that val makes her move. moments like this are what she lives for. turning, she grabs her friend's now bearded chin gently before giving him a chaste kiss. 'cast quick--' a wink and before he can so much as react she's immediately taking a step back to start falling down into the chasm below. (better cast that feather fall gale, your girl has a death wish)
By Ahghairon's nose! Gosh, to think adventure once meant an evening with books.
Gale swallows. He toes the lip of a great, pitiless chasm, and thinks, my word, is he in it now. He discerns only shadow, a penumbra so throbbing as to rival a void, as anxiety, encompassing, descends upon them. An air oddly whistles, its tempo so shivering. Licking down their bones, fear settles home. Wide-eyed and pensive, all the party's loathed to dare it, but with fire in her heart and laughter in her eyes, Val, so thrilling, dares the breach.
She is maddening, Gale thinks. Or else impossible. Or else the stars. She makes worry fill his heart, festers in his chest a geyser of emotion, and leaves him utterly bereft of wit. Still, Gale feels excitement, and a steep fondness as well. Yet, when she tugs him in for so innocent a kiss, the brilliance in her bones scorched at the seam of his lips, he fears his heart's grown several leagues beyond that... She taste like vintages, autumn winds, and infatuation's start.
...infatuation? Val pulls away as his great heart plummets.
"What are you—" Then his shouting soars. Tripping in after her—very graceful of you, wizard—the force of freefall thunders his chest. Val plummets beside him, an untroubled shiver of night-soaked hair, and even as the ground rushes reckless to meet them, Gale feels her smile. Gale knows she glows! She'll kill him, he thinks, perhaps tomorrow or even tonight, but for now, he'll argue, wrapping them safely in a casting of feather fall. Finding her elbow, he lands them soft.
Then, before he can let loose his words, his something half-fury, Karlach, anxious, curiously starts. "Oi, lovebirds!" About them, the old cavern rumbles away. "I didn't hear any splattering. You alright down there?" Well.
Gale casts a light. Seeing Val stood there both windswept and proudly hellion-- "Physically, you'd be glad to know we remain yet in tact," he answers in kind. "But I'm starting to seriously doubt the oneness of a particular someone's mind." And his own. Gods, she's reckless! "You look thrilled with yourself. Tempting as it is to believe, wizardry is no substitute for caution."

More of the Team Fortress 2 x Lara Croft thing because I don't know when to quit
🗡️🌹🗡️🌹🗡️🌹
International spy. Master of espionage. Big guns, money and attitude. Laurent Croft. If it's exciting or unique, he makes it his.
The silver Fox spy must travel across the globe to recover legendary artifacts. He will face rogueish Mafia bosses, dangerous traps and powerful God like monsters. All while looking sexy fine in low-rise jeans.
This is serious brain rot, like I can't stop thinking about it H E L P
🌹🗡️🌹🗡️🌹🗡️

ALICIA VIKANDER at the 2nd Annual Academy Museum Gala on October 15th 2022 wearing LOUIS VUITTON
Alicia was another attendee wearing Louis Vuitton. I did really like that she didn’t wear lace tights, I think they made the other looks too busy. I also felt Alicia’s dress felt the most like an actual dress, instead of a nightie. I thought the dress was pretty, but this wasn’t a super exciting outfit.
