and you don't seem the lying kind

minvember 2023 palette prompt 2: lie

tempted as i was to draw londo for this prompt, this really is the minbari color palette! a certain flashback about delenn's role in the earth-minbari war was on my mind while drawing this, and how much that added to her moral complexity (not that the ambassadors as a trio and as a rule aren't morally complex enough, but still - what a reveal).

pose referenced from (completely unrelated media property) hsr imbibitor lunae's ultimate attack, as well as an actual profile shot of delenn.

Minvember Day 3 - Dance rehearsal

"Severus, you must help me."

"I am busy."

"Busy doing what, exactly?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"..."

"The fumes, Minerva. I am watching the potion fumes. The thicker it is, the better the result for this experiment."

"I see. I thought you were merely contemplating your laboratory, brooding over the absurdity of life as per usual."

Severus rolled his eyes. He unfolded his arms and took his eyes off the cauldrons that stood a few feet before him, glancing at the deputy headmistress with an unreadable expression.

"How may I be of service?"

"My left foot."

He raised an eyebrow.

"You will have to be more precise."

"It hurts."

Almost imperceptibly, his lips quirked in a sort of twisted, half-repressed smile.

"That is most unfortunate", he merely replied.

"Well, do something about it, you annoying man!"

"I do not see how. Certainly Poppy is the one qualified-"

"You know how she is! She might talk - tell Albus -"

Severus leaned comfortably against the nearest work-table. He could have been filing his nails for all that mattered; he looked especially unbothered, with a cunning and satisfied expression patiently waiting to move each of the carefully trained muscles of his face.

"Tell Albus what?" he asked.

His voice, as usual very smooth, was a steady mix of amusement and faked ignorance.

Minerva sighed heavily. She looked over her shoulder, then replied:

"You know he stepped over my foot the whole evening. And the day before. And the day before that."

"Really? But I thought you were an experienced waltz teacher -"

"Severus -"

"Such a brilliant one, in fact, that even the headmaster could become a successful dancer under your guidance, if I recall your very words -"

"Severus -"

"And, if my memory does not fail me, to that I humbly replied-"

"FINE! YES! Albus is a lost cause. It is like his arms and legs do not belong to the same person. He smiles confidently and then moves completely out of rhythm. Are you satisfied?"

Severus smiled cunningly. He set out to the other side of the room, opened and closed a cupboard and then came back to his original place, holding a jar of white cream. He handed it to her.

"This will reduce the inflammation in under ten minutes, if applied generously. It is scented with camomille - your favourite."

"Thank you."

She turned to leave.

"Oh, Minerva?"

"What now?"

"Do you know when this was prepared?"

"I am sure you will tell me."

"August 13th. The day we learnt there would be a Yule Ball."

She rolled her eyes and left, cursing under her breath. From what Severus could make out, it was something about never taking a bet again; he turned his attention back to his cauldrons, looking very pleased with himself.

minvember #3: crowd

You don't know what it's like living only in the shadows of her mind. There I was, trapped inside, able to come out only at night when she was asleep. Her invisible sister.

It's too crowded in that brain of hers. I don't know why this is my interpretation of that prompt, but!

Crowd

Mayroon scanned the crowd for the face that had said he would meet her here. After a few minutes of waiting and looking, she gave up and followed the crowd to a bustling marketplace, the likes of which she had never before seen. Like so many others, she got lost in the sights and sounds and smells of the Zocalo, nearly overwhelmed by it all.

A voice spoke, greeting her in Lenn'ah, and she turned to see a man behind one of the stalls. "You get lost, young'un? It gets dangerous in these parts."

Mayroon nodded. "Yes, actually," she said in the same tongue, then looked at his hands, where he was carving a gokk out of crystal. It reminded her of some of her father's work, and she felt a pang before the man spoke again as she unconsciously reached for one of his creations, a temshwee.

"I know that look, young'un. Who died?" He asked softly.

"My father. He taught me some of his craft."

"The accident a few years back? Yeah, I heard. That was a heavy blow for us as a whole. You're definitely not Worker, that's for sure. Got the Warrior crest, but those ain't no Warrior clothes, cept for the shoulder pad thingamabob."

"My mother's. She died in the war against the humans. I switched to the religious caste when I was fifteen. The calling of my heart was to—" she was interrupted by someone tapping her shoulder.

"Mayroon?" The human behind her asked, and she nodded. "I'm sorry. I meant to find you when you arrived, but—"

"Emergencies happen," she responded, speaking in the human language that made little sense at best. "Thank you for finding me...Franklin, your name was?" She turned back to the Worker momentarily, exchanging a friendly nod before returning her attention to the human medical officer.

"Yes. Well, Mayroon, welcome to Babylon 5. I'll explain the situation on the way to Medlab."

minvember 2023 palette prompt 3: crowd

g'kar in londo's thoughts: "crowding" them, as it were. but at high levels, that might be to one's advantage...

(inspired by disco elysium's art style, particularly the Half Light card and that one abstract harry avatar)

Minvember Day 1 - Self delusion

She hummed contently. She put the teapot down on the table, watched for a moment as the steam went up towards the ceiling and disappeared, then resumed her humming, a bit louder. She brought over a plate of biscuits, lemon-flavoured, then three tea cups. The chipped one she placed in front of her seat.

Then she took a step back, dusted her robes, picked a book, and sat comfortably.

And so she waited, humming still. The steam swirled and swirled over her head.

Slowly, the staff room's door opened. Minerva lifted her head: Pomona entered, followed closely by Poppy. The two women stopped, looking down at the table and then at their colleague.

"Good evening", Minerva greeted cheerfully, before returning to her book.

Pomona sighed. With caution, Poppy approached and sat in the armchair opposite to her, the one that had been, for many years, the preferred seat of the headmaster. Minerva made a slight movement of friendly protest.

"I know it is Friday night, Minerva", the nurse said apologetically. "I know Albus, Severus and yourself have tea every Friday night at 6. Is that right?"

Her colleague frowned. She put down her book, but did not reply.

"Minerva." Poppy spoke again, with more authority this time, and great softness. "Minerva. You know they are not coming back, right?"

Minerva blinked twice. Suddenly her gaze, which had wandered around the room with a dream-like air, became sharper, more cognisant; her book fell from her lap; she looked around her in utter dismay.

A strangled sound escaped her throat.
