IC INBOX for FADE RIFT
Gavin has a little box stuffed full of notes. Feel free to stuff one in there, if you like, or come say hi.
The notes may just be all doodles.
just saying.

Well that... Happens. You know as well as I do how people can change, sometimes over night. Is it that surprising that your feelings might, too?

[A small snort.] Everyone has feelings about everything Zevran, regardless of what those feelings are.
Do you - ah - know what his actually are? By any chance?
no subject
[ He takes a moment to decide that, yes, he does feel that way today. Good. ]
But he is human, he is noble, and he is- everything I know not to become involved with on a deeper level. Sharing a bed now and then is one thing but anything more? It is foolishness.
no subject
You are, I can't deny that. [Said with an incredible fondness.]
[He listens, and then there is a long pause on the other end, as he considers his words carefully.]
They aren't all... that kind of human noble... [He starts, though the words are still hesitant.] I know you, Zevran. I don't think you'd have any real tolerance for someone who wasn't - worthy of it. [There's a slight hesitation, not because he doubts it, but because the self-loathing made him realise that he could also mean himself, but beyond the small hitch of breath, that thought is not voiced.]
Of course it's foolish. If you get down to the brass tacks of the thing. Any sort of relationship with anyone at all is a fool's errand. But it... might make you happy, for a while.
no subject
Though I will admit pointing out my experience with nobles of that sort left him upset.
no subject
Bed is one thing, Zevran, and your time and attention are another. Otherwise you could just take it and leave it as you would.
Pretty sure that if you're questioning yourself this deeply about it, it's a bit beyond the 'this is a normal human noble I'm going to wreck for the night and then leave'....
Huh. What did you tell him?
no subject
no subject
Well, I mean - that is true. It makes more sense to be straight with him about it than to let him pretend that there's no history, or precedence.
But you wouldn't be talking to me about it if you didn't think he was different.
no subject
no subject
[He can't help but grin, and it is audible when he speaks.]
That sounds pretty far from your average noble to me. [Maybe teasing, a little, and then, a little more serious:]
You know that if it ever came down badly, Zevran, you just need to tell me and I'll bring my knives, too. [He doesn't even use knives, but 'my bow' doesn't sound nearly as threatening.]
no subject
[ Because Gavin knows these things, has a vague understanding of his fears...and might actually mean it when he says he will help. He is more reliable as of late, at any rate. It is worth putting that faith in him. ]
If only he weren't quite so pretty. I never would have started this mess otherwise.
no subject
Should I go have a talk with him? [Still teasing. And he does understand - probably too well.]
Maybe with some ominous blade wielding?
no subject
no subject
It would at least give him something to think about. [Still grinning. Still audible.]
But seriously, Zevran - if you think it's something that might make you happy for a little while, go for it.

No thanks necessary, Zevran. [A little quieter, a little fonder.] I hope I was at all helpful.

[A soft snort.] Hey, I'll take it. Though - did I tell you about the giant - ah - icicles, yet?
no subject
no subject
Well, see, in the Emprise, they have these really big statues, with these really big women carved into them, who happen to have giant icicles, hanging from their breasts. And ah - I thought it might be fun --
[And he devolved into a meandering, ridiculous story about titsicles.]
