it’s been days now since he approached krem about this , and he was hardly surprised by the ferocity of his refusal . it was TOO MUCH to expect of him , far beyond the duties that he’d signed on for when he pack up and moved from traveling with the chargers to being stuck here in tevinter with him . he’d known THAT much before he’d even asked . but there is no one else that can do this . and dorian , loathe as he is to admit it , can’t do this alone . no , he NEEDS him , and he would never dream of asking this of him if he didn’t .
even still , this come as a SHOCK to him . in no small part because he’s not used to krem barging in unannounced ; he’s in the middle of dressing , and it’s a testament to the gravity of the situation that he simply finishes pulling on his robes rather than making a glib comment .
he looks back , normally cheerful features schooled into something far more severe . ❛❛ you know i wouldn’t ask this of you LIGHTLY . ❜❜ one hand comes to rest on his shoulder , heavy and grim . ❛❛ you can change your mind at any time . i’m under no delusions that you don’t have the worse end of this deal , but there’s no one else i could trust with this . ❜❜
the hand on his shoulder steers him toward the settee , and he gestures for krem to sit before following suit himself . for a moment , he’s silent —— another unusual occurrence . then , ❛❛ if it’s any consolation , i’m dreading this almost as much as you are . but i swear on my life , i’ll keep you safe . ❜❜
dorian’s hand sits heavy on krem’s shoulder, somewhere between a crushing weight and a comforting pressure. his frame nearly wilts under the touch but he forces himself to straighten, to let dorian guide him to a place to sit. sinking into the chair, his gaze falls to the floor. brown eyes fall shut at dorian’s words and he clenches his jaw. he doesn’t think dorian could POSSIBLY dread this nearly as much as krem does. certainly his stomach isn’t filled with the same lead, his heart fluttering against his ribs in fear.
he takes a deep breath, looks up at dorian. ❛ i trust you, ❜ he says, words barely above a harsh whisper. ❛ i’ll do whatever you ask, whatever it takes. ❜
and he does trust dorian. trusts him with his life. but it doesn’t stop the way his hands shake at the prospect of a collar around his throat, at the thought of being led around on a leash, a SLAVE as far as anyone around them knows.
law of the land
first, thank you for taking the time to check out my rules! i really appreciate it. they are a little long, whoops. (and i pinky promise i’m not nearly as mean as these make me sound RIP) there are no hidden passwords, mostly because i, myself, get really anxious about them. if you have a password, i probably won’t send it in. but i promise i read your rules!! i read them before following any blog.
GENERAL:
-no godmodding/metagaming/etc. i work on a three strike system. i’ll warn twice about godmodding/metagaming and if it happens again, i’ll unfollow. (note: small godmodding things are perfectly fine. like if your character asks mine to pass the salt, you can assume that they do.) -this blog is private. i only rp with MUTUALS. if non-mutuals interact too often with starter calls or opens, i may block. please only send ic memes if we are mutuals (ooc memes are fine). -I am selective, which means i don’t follow everyone back. nothing against you as a writer, i just prefer to have an uncluttered dash. i also vary rarely follow back personal blogs and may block them if they interact too often with my posts.
-too much negativity or vagueblogging makes me uncomfortable and i may unfollow if there is a lot of it on the dash. #discourse, drama, and anti-shipping are also pretty big nos for me.
-both the muse and mun are 18+ so there may be NSFW content on this blog! i will always tag it with an appropriate tag. i will also NEVER EVER write smut with a minor. (in fact, i tend to be hesitant to interact with people under 16 in general.) -i use small text, light formatting, and (sometimes) icons. i don’t expect my partners to match this (though i may resize text just to make it consistent.)
-i also never expect my partners to match length in replies. quality over quantity. i tend to fluctuate heavily with my response lengths as well.
-please cut your posts! uncut posts make the dash very messy.
-if you want to continue an ask, please put it in a new post.
-i make my own icons/edits/backgrounds/etc unless otherwise noted. please DO NOT take them.
-please tag your SPIDERS, SELF-HARM, ANIMAL ABUSE, and FOOD with a tag i can block. i tag most major triggers but if you need something tagged, shoot me a message and i’ll tag it. i tag with #trigger cw (ex. #spiders cw).
-replies will be slow as i have a job and am very Tired all the time.
-DO NOT reblog things you are not part of, be they threads or ooc posts. i will block if it happens. some things will be tagged with ‘okay to reblog’ and are exceptions.
MUSE THINGS:
-i ship based on CHEMISTRY only.
-while i do love shipping, FORCE-SHIPPING will result in an instant block.
-i play krem as BISEXUAL/ROMANTIC.
OOC:
-these rules are subject to change at any time.
the mun’s name is GRAYSON and i use they/them pronouns
-please feel free to chat with me ooc! i love talking to other people and, honestly, it makes plotting a lot easier when i know the other mun.
-i promise i’m very nice even if my rules seem strict.
thank you for getting this far!! 10 points to you.
