It's WIP WEDNESDAY! Thanks for the tag @merrybandofmurderers @ammoniteflesh and @blarrghe for your recent (and not-so-recent) tags. I promise I'm writing. I've just hit a bit of a block.
Here's an excerpt from No Town More Barren Than Our Town. If I'm lucky I won't scrap it haha. Also tagging @tea42 and @rakshadow if y'all want to share. Sorry if I missed someone! I haven't done this in a bit.
It was Merrill. Surrounded by no small amount of rubble, indicating that the intensity of her knocking may have had magical assistance. Shocked out of his moroseness, he choked back a laugh. “Don’t laugh!” She insisted, “I’m quite cross with you.” An acid retort on his tongue, Fenris stopped himself, remembering the way Merrill’s stone fist had careened toward Danarius only a few days ago. They may not agree on much, but she deserved some respect from him. He cleared his throat awkwardly, “Did you want to come in?” “I want you to come out,” she insisted. “Merrill…” She shook her head, “We’re painting the Vhenadahl. You’re tall enough to reach the high branches. Come on.” For some reason, when she turned on her heel to walk off, he followed. They didn’t speak as the wound their way through the city streets- or, more accurately, Fenris didn’t speak. Merrill muttered to herself, trying to keep track of the directions in the winding city streets. “Five streets down from the chanters board…” she murmured, tracking the street numbers on her fingers. Despite himself, Fenris smiled slightly. The day was bright, the Kirkwall sky uncharacteristically blue overhead. The alienage was wild with activity when they arrived. Elven children scrambled through the square, streaks of paint color blocking faces and clothes. There was a fry-bread scent in the air and the sound of lutes and drums. He couldn’t help himself, “Have you brought me to a party?” “It’s a festival, Fenris,” she emphasized, pressing a bucket of paint into his hands,”I’ve been told it’s rather different.” “You’ve been told?” “Well, I haven’t exactly been invited to a lot of parties.”
