[ 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.

I still can't wrap my head around that. I mean, Tim was definitely not adopted.

Did Tim need to be adopted? I didn’t, really - I was doing OK on my own. I would’ve managed.

[still. it was nice to have a home again, for a while.]

Not even a little. His family is totally loaded.

[ Like, enough that his money problems are really annoying. ]

[he snorts derisively.]

Must be nice. Somehow he failed to ever mention that.

Oh yeah. You should have heard him when his family had ‘financial problems’. He was very upset that he’d have to leave private school and move out of the big house to the town house.

[jason sighs heavily.]

I can’t even wrap my head around the kinda life where that’s your biggest problem. I didn’t even finish high school - I was a little too dead at the time.

Hah! Right? I had to drop out when I got pregnant. I deserve a medal for sitting through that conversation.

[WELP that’s enough goofy messaging from another part of the same house. jason has at least enough sense to not continue a conversation with a topic this sensitive on a network, private or otherwise.

there’s a short delay while he tracks down steph’s location inside the house. once he arrives, he knocks gently on whatever’s nearby to call her attention and announce his presence, expression set in a deep, concerned frown.]

You were pregnant?

[it’s asked gently, not even a little angry or reproachful - a little surprised, because that seems like the sort of thing that’s kind of a big deal. plus, she’s so young - not too young, he knows better than to think that.]

I’m not gonna pry or anything, it’s your business, I just ... are you OK?

[ Steph is thoroughly ensconced in an armchair that’s definitely less comfortable when it’s sat in properly. She’s still got a grin on her face as she responds to another text while she waits for a new reply. At his knock she glances up, surprised. ]

Hmm? [ Damn, he looks intense. ] Yeah, I’m fine. I had the baby more than a year ago, it’s not like I’m still recovering or anything.

[jason and intense go hand in hand, like fire and hot, like water and wet.]

I meant like ... you know. [emotionally.] You didn’t keep the baby, right? That sounds like a lot to go through, especially when you’re basically still a kid yourself.

[ She lets her watch fall on her knee, looking down and away. She doesn’t think about it often. She tries not too. ]

No, I didn’t. [ And that was the hardest part, emergency c-section and all. ] But I made all the arrangements ahead of time. She went to a nice couple. They’ll take better care of her than me and mom could have, and she won’t be in any danger from dad. [ Especially not now that he’s dead. ]

It’s just a thing that happened, and it’s over now. That’s all.
