It is I, Zevran. And I am not here. So please, speak, and I will hear - eventually!

Voice; un: lycaon , post The Horrors(tm)

[paraselenic]

[This has been quite the ordeal for Lycaon the past few days. He's been trying his best to get in touch with everyone that he had contact with during the happy fun carnival time, as well as his loved ones.

Rose, Takame, Molly, Hermes. The list goes on.

Zevran is one such person, and while the details are hazy, he remembers the amount of force he exerted on the man. Granted, a knife was brandished on him, but he did nothing to de-escalate. And he did end up causing harm.]

Sir Zevran. I...wanted to reach out to apologize for my actions as of late.

text whoops

[mmmleather]

[There are... so very many curses uttered listening to that message. So many. Not all of them in the common language. In his mind, he is the one who should be apologizing for his actions. He remembers that confrontation clearly.]

[Makers's benevolent ass, what a mess.]

You are not the one needing to provide his apologies. [Text is much much easier when you're nursing broken bones. Some of which are ribs, care of this man's mechanical legs.]

I am not your jilted lover. I had no reason to... confront you in such a way. Though I cannot say why it happened as it did.

[paraselenic]

[Lycaon notices the text--a strange choice, given that he so usually goes for voice. But no matter, he'll match whatever Zevran chooses.]

But I do. I am well aware of my skill to defend myself, and it should never have gotten to that level. My senses were...not what they should've been. It was not until I came back to Meropide that I realized it was you who brandished that knife at me.

I will gladly reimburse you for any medical fees that were the result of my actions.

[mmmleather]

Do not act as if you were solely at fault. As much as I do enjoy a knife, or many, I... was the one to instigate. I know this.

Medical fees? What medical fees? It is nothing.

[Bestie you are hiding in a shitty roadside motel with your face in an ice bucket let the wolf help.]

[paraselenic]

Even so, I did not have to exert as much force as I did.

You.

Have received medical attention, yes? You have gone to a hospital?

[Ruh roh Scoob.]

[mmmleather]

And I did not have to attempt to stab you. See? It is not your fault alone.

For what? Some bruises? No, not necessary.

[What is a hospital.]

[paraselenic]

...Very well.

[Translation: I respectfully disagree due to the sheer power imbalance of the situation but I refuse to argue with someone who is in need of medical attention.]

Is it truly just bruises?

[He's no expert on elf physiology (well he kind of is), but he does know the weight behind his kick. He's a man hitting over 300lbs with his legs included...no way that is 'just bruises'.]

[mmmleather]

There we are. An understanding.

[There is a definite pause.]

Would my dashing face lie to you?

[Yes.]

[paraselenic]

[. . .]

I am calling an ambulance.

[mmmleather]

A what.

[paraselenic]

[There is a moment's pause.]

A transport to a medical facility.

[mmmleather]

[Will wonders never cease-]

Why would you call something like that? Are you wounded?

[You little shit.]

[paraselenic]

I will tell you now, I can track your location by scent.

If you do not have anyone coming to check you, I will take you to medical care myself.

[mmmleather]

I


I am requesting you do no such thing. For matters most consider "personal".

[paraselenic]

Then confirm if you are getting medical attention. I will know if you're lying.

[mmmleather]

[There is the brief and quick decision about whether or not using a motel ice bucket and towels count as healing... You know what, yes, they do.]

I am attending to matters.

delivery (secret Santa edition!)

[poisontippedcure]

[Before Christmas, Zevran will receive a package at his door.]

[Inside is a custom-made suit, tailored to his measurements. There’s also a gift card to a nearby spa.]

[Attached is a letter:]

Treat yourself, you deserve it.

Christmas Delivery 12/25;

[paraselenic]

[Lycaon has this gift delivered the same time as Mollymauk's. And it's not so much HIM delivering the gift rather than Butler doing it for him. Alongside Molly's gifts is a small basket for Zevran.

Inside is a bag of seafoam candy, dipped in dark chocolate. Inside is a note stating what the candy is, and signed with Lycaon's name.

Additionally, there is an even smaller bag with a single eggplant in it, signed 'from Veronika.'

Below that is a note:]

Zevran,

I am not sure if you celebrated anything similar in your world, but around this time of year it is customary to give gifts to those you wish well. You have been kind to me, and you have provided Mollymauk with companionship, and I merely want to express my thanks to you.

This candy is called seafoam. It is not made of seafoam in the literal sense, naturally, but it gives the impression of it with the bubbles created on its interior. Please share this with Molly, and enjoy.

-Lycaon 🌕

P.S. Veronika insisted on the eggplant.

CURSE DELIVERY - after Zevran texts Husk

[lanternae]

[So because one jumpy elf went and tattled to the cat, not to mention LYING! Flins is going to curse him.

When Zevran wakes up one morning he will have watermelon patterned hair

(The curse will not go away until Molly sees it. Then, roll a die. If its above a 10 it goes away 5 minutes after Molly witnesses it. If it's 10 or below then it stays for two hours.)]

[mauks]

[ the next few days are filled with multiple missed calls from the same number, from Molly, though he never leaves a voice message.

expect for the one call that he does. although it isn't the tiefling who can be heard once the message bank kicks in; there is only the soft crackle of fire and the purr of a familiar ghost cat. it goes on for a few minutes before Frumpkin meows. maybe he's telling Zevran to come home or stay safe, maybe he's chiding him for disappearing and causing Molly so much distress. who knows. mysterious cat things.

after a few minutes the familiar jingle of Molly's horn decorations can be heard as he picks up the cat and mumbles something about finally finding his phone before the message ends. ]
