006 // spoiler alert

[serpentis]

Who: Dorian Pavus
Broadcast: YOU KNOW IT! FLEET WIDE.
Action: Only if you can find him!
When: RIGHT MEOW.

[Dorian is reading from a book with a woman and a man on the gover, clearing his throat and grinning impishly.]

Ah, good afternoon. I thought I might treat you to this book I found. Let's see here...

[He flips through the pages]

“He gives us a sack of tatties of a Friday. And sometimes after kirk he delivers a haggis..." No, that started promising, but that's not it, let's see here...

[He flips through the pages, frowning to himself, occasionally looking slightly scandalized, he gets nearly through the whole book, when FINALLY.]

Ahah! Here we are.

[He clears his throat, and starts in. As he reads, he's a positive ham about it.]

“Savages such as you, such as I.” He kissed her lightly at first, his lips brushing against hers and his hands sliding down her sides.

“Is that what we are, Gavin Macgregor? Savages?” Gavin pulled away from her, sucking her lip softly between his and tasting every inch of the woman he’d loved for his entire life for the first time. He tilted his head to one side. “Ach, you may be more savage than me by twice.”

So close that their breath mixed between them, the walls around the pair seemed to vanish. Kenna slid her hands down Gavin’s arms, her fingers bouncing over every little muscle and tendon. She looked down at his chest, then back into his eyes, lost in the ocean she found.

Words, words, I don't even know half of what this man is saying...here we go...

She closed her eyes and Gavin kissed her along her jaw, behind her ear. Kenna’s skin prickled to life where he kissed, and where the heat from his palms burned through her dress.

[And then he flips the page, and then again. There are only a handful of pages left in the book.]

...that's it? I was hoping for more than just a single kiss!

[He makes a disgusted noise and pitches the book over his shoulder.]

Comments

[child_of_bhaal]

Gods, that's terrible! Who wrote that so I can smack them? The imagery is so odd and disjointed. Who bounces their fingers when they're running their hands over someone's arm? You know what that looks like?

[She lifts one arm and demonstrates. She's basically drumming her fingers all the way down her arm. It's decidedly the opposite of anything sexy.]

Is she lost to the ocean that's his chest or his eyes? Are they the same ocean? How is he able to taste every inch of her when he'd only kissed her mouth? This book is clearly a mess.

[Because this is the real issue here. Bad writing.]

[serpentis]

I should have guessed that you'd take issue with that, Syeira! You ought to read the rest of it.

[child_of_bhaal]

Don't trust me with it. I'll end up rewriting it, just so I don't go mad from frustration.

[serpentis]

Then you'd do us all a favor!

[child_of_bhaal]

Dorian, don't tempt me.

[Because this would be something to do. And something she's actually really good at.

Basically, tempt her, Dorian. Clearly she wants you to.]

[serpentis]

Oh, tempt you? I'd never do such a thing!

[That's a flat-out lie.]

I was merely thinking that the Fleet could use more...quality reading material. And without Varric here, I could always use something to help my adult students learn to read...

[child_of_bhaal]

[Wow. Pulling out the big guns there, Dorian. Way to play in her hero tendencies. Before it could have been a pastime, now it's like a duty.]

Alright. I'll need the book.

[serpentis]

Come by my hotel room, and you are more than welcome to it.

[child_of_bhaal]

This is going to be so painful.

[She's chuckling though.]

I'll come get it shortly.
