Another one because I have lost all ability to concentrate:

This is some impressive forum necromancy, Huey. Also, some good writing. Thank you for sharing, and for reminding me of the little gems that were sitting here already.

Thank you? I mean, creative prompts are deathless

I'm so glad that I was reminded this exists, because I just haven't been able to get over inertia to start writing. This is just the kind of bite sized exercise I need to get back into things.

Here's a throwback to a character I created long ago but never did anything with:

I haven't written anything in much too long again, so I made this:

Awww... it's interesting to see it mirrored, in some way, with Nasina's 50 words. Nasina is surrounded by companions, but lacks a meaningful one. Nasperge is alone, but carries Moira in his heart, and sometimes that's enough. They're both characters I'd love to read more about, and this snippets are like appetizers for that.

Maybe someday I'll need to write the story about when Nasperge and Lady Nasina first met. That could be fun.

Anyway, thanks for reading!

Nice. It definitely reminds me of a high school moment, but I think the sentiment fits with these two characters, too. It will definitely be interesting to see how many of these little Sharaka/Elphimas moments end up coming into the overarching canon stories.

Oof, almost word for word, sorry. That kind of thing is common for Elphimas at their best: they avoid physical contact when possible, but they're willing to get out of their comfort zone to connect with someone they care about when it's needed, and Sharaka is very physical character. Somewhat similarly, they're asexual but determinate to find a way to satisfy their partner's needs, as I have already shown in Broken Stars.

About their canon interactions... I don't know. I have plans for a story with them as main characters, but Burning Home is in the way. We'll see.

Literal dad jokes. Oh boy.
