UN: Antivan Lover

[ombranera]

[ BEHOLD, Zevran lounging, somewhat, dressed comfortably as he's settled by the fire, wrist angled just so to make his angles all the more artful as he makes his most somber of faces into the camera. ]

I think the time has come to ask a very serious question of the Village.

[ The face drops and now, well, he is all smiles. ]

Is it just me or is place full to bursting with ridiculously sexy individuals? We have statuesque warriors, lithe scholars, voluptuous women, people in every glorious shade, size, and shape- and every last one of them incredibly attractive. I had thought to myself- 'Zevran, those in charge of this place must be turning away those with less than appealing faces' but no. Handsome men and gorgeous women all. I have tried to list out names and rate them but, alas, there are too many even for I to form an opinion.

Too many gorgeous people. Is that not a marvelous problem to have?

And so I turn to you, my fellow villagers. I ask for your aid because I simply cannot keep up with all the lovely people on my own. From a scale of "I would kiss them tomorrow" to "I would have them right now if they so wished", how would you rate the beautiful people of our Village?

In the interest of fairness- if you name a name? You must list what of them you find terribly attractive- what of them drives you to the point of distraction. I shall go first!

Kate - Such poise, such fire, such compassion to continue to feed the village every day for our luncheon meal, never asking thanks or consideration for her labors. She gives of her heart and her skills, minding the fires and tending to our lonely souls. A flame in the dark, she with glimmering eyes and so sweet a voice- and fiery temper, who wouldn't wish to spend a time by the hearth with her?

Shiro - A gallant man indeed, with a keen eye and a warm heart that seems terribly unaware of his own beauty, which is all the more a shame. He has a face that looks as though it were sculpted by artists, a broad strength to him that is beguiling- and a quiet sorrow that is enticing. Perhaps a night or two in pleasing company might lift his spirits? It is certainly worth a shot!

Anne - Now here is a woman with a taste for the finer things in life. She knows what it is that she wants and takes no prisoners in finding a way to get it. The fall of her hair, the flash of her eyes, the wicked curve of her lips? It does get the blood pumping, that is certain. She, well. She I would ask the favor of her favor and content myself with whatever I received.

Altaïr - For a man that certainly turns many a head without noticing, I must admit, I am baffled. How can one be so lovely and so utterly unaware of it? Has he not seen himself? How can anyone look upon that man and not be at least a little enchanted, if not enthralled? Those smoldering eyes, that sultry voice, the weight of wisdom; he I would have right now if he understood my flirtations.

[ OH WAIT HE ALMOST FORGOT TWO MORE ]

Elektra - Someone so fine, so fit, so lovely- with a richness to her voice and a mystery to her poise- ah, she brings to mind a Bard from Orlais, or any discerning lady of the Antivan Court. Someone with a beauty such as hers should be captured by painters, lauded by poets, she ought to turn the eye of a great many in the village. Were she free and of a mind? I'd lose days to her company.

Steven - Never before have I seen so quietly carved an adonis- with piercing eyes and skin so fair it does make one wonder how deeply he might blush- shoulders so broad and a waist so trim? I would climb him like a tree to rid him of this cloud of sorrow that clings to his shoulders. Perhaps he needs the right distraction, yes? And I am ever so good at being distracting.

You deserve all the light in the village, Mia Bella. I cannot go on with you not having your due appreciation.

[can_fight_ugly]

I certainly appreciate it, Zevran. You yourself are a beacon of life.

I'm glad you're spreading the love, so to speak.

[ombranera]

So many lovely people, so many SHY lovely people. Why not open the floodgates? It is winter, there is no reason to have a cold bed if you can help it.

[can_fight_ugly]

That's definitely one way to keep warm. Probably a little easier than knitting a sweater, but ... not quite so practical.

[ombranera]

Why- ah. Sentiment. That is a thing for most, is it not?

[can_fight_ugly]

Not for you, I gather? What keeps you warm in the winter, if it's not someone else's embrace?

[ombranera]

It is not often something indulged in with my line of work, sex is good and fun, yes? Sentiment...is dangerous. But I do not begrudge others their scruples or their sentiment.

[can_fight_ugly]

You're a sex worker, then? [Curious, non-judgemental.]

I guess you could call me a slave to sentiment, for better or for worse. It has landed me in some hot water, though.

[ombranera]

That is not technically incorrect as it does fall under the umbrella of things I have been paid to do- I am an assassin. Using my body as a honey'd trap was a familiar tactic.

Such is the way of things, is it not? Sentiment breeds trouble.

[can_fight_ugly]

Ah - beg my pardon. I have to admit I've never met any assassins before.

[Not that she's met a large number of sex workers, but definitely more than one]

It can, but ... it can be worth it.

[ombranera]

We are a wily and raucous bunch, true. But fear not, I've no true use for those skills here so- hairstyling, massage, cooking, the decidedly more fun skills are valuable in this village.

So I have been told. There is poetry enough for me to imagine that to be true.

[can_fight_ugly]

Well, it's good to hear - and I know for my self I have thoroughly enjoyed your offered skills so far. [She is so happy with her hair Zevran you have no idea.]

"Tis better to have loved, and lost, than never to have loved at all." That's a popular quote from my world, but ... I think its truth depends on the individual.

[ombranera]

How is your hair holding up? Still as sleek and silken as it was when you left me?

That- well. I would not know what to think of that, but it is a popular thought back home as well.

[can_fight_ugly]

I have been following your routine to the letter. It is perfect.

I admit, I am a sucker for that kind of thinking. The big romantic lot of it.

[ombranera]

I can understand the allure of poetry but, alas, no romance for Zevran. Flirtatious adventures aplenty, yes! But no romance.

[can_fight_ugly]

To each their own. I hope you find what you're looking for.

[She means it. Everyone deserves their idea of a good time.]

[ombranera]

For now? A warm heart and bed to endure the winter will do me just fine!
