(Ack, kid! I mean "funny kid." ) Alec laughed. "I'll work on it," he promised. "Oh yeah?" He turned his head to look at the fluffy teddy bear. "I made him special at Build-A-Bear. The lady was annoying though. She made me do all the stupid stuff like kiss the heart and make a wish and spin in circles. Like, seriously, I'm a seventeen year old guy and all I want is for you to fill this silly bear with fluff, not make a fool of myself, but shr wasn't having it. I mean, I used my best evil-teen-glare on her. Nothing. So I just gave in and got it over with. Ooh! I did put some smelly stuff in it though. Check it out." He picked up the bear so Tori could sniff it. He'd bought a cinnamon-vanilla scented chip to put in it that was supposed to last for a really long time. It was weird but kind of cool, and his mom had always had this funky saying that "love smells like cinnamon rolls," so it worked. Still, he groaned inwardly. Here he was going on about the making of a cinnamon-scented teddy bear when he had been planning on kissing her again. He'd just ruined that. Teddy bears just weren't romantic. (So, Miss Nightfeather...any chances that your Thori muse might make an appearance? No pressure, just kinda hoping and thought I'd ask!)

(Hey, page 100! Sorry, just got excited about that. Haha.) (No Alwen and Celondis and that-shady-friend-whose-name-I-forgot, then? Well, that's ok! Just thought it might be fun to revisit. Again, no pressure. Don't wanna make you do something you don't want to.)

(Yeah, I kinda figured. To be fair, you DID tell me you didn't enjoy rping men! We could just rp Nori and Theo and kinda mention whatever's going on with them in the background? Like, "Nori and Theo spent a week renovating a castle. Also the elf king got married." Haha.)

{Bri was telling me something about how she was sure they're gonna get together so I was like *evil plotting*}
{She'll kick Baltore out of the house and the kids will be squealing with laughter xDDD} {BUT LUMI ; ~ ; She gonna want some kind of small something, Loran gotta honour the humans traditions too cx Its what makes them special} {i'm screaming why do i love them so muchhh} {Ouuuuuuuuuu I think I may have seen it but I didn't know if you were talking about a ruler elf or??? And hmm... Well I was thinking about bringing Alaska in, and I usually have her with something to do with wolves, so what about something like... Similar to werewolves but not? Kind of like shapeshifters, but of the cursed kind.} {k so this next part is really dark so I'm putting it in a spoiler OKAY it's not explicit just dark xD}
It had been a warm sunny day, as most days were at the Faulkener household. All day she had spent cleaning, cooking, cleaning, washing. She had no time for her art, no time for anything that she wanted to do. He wanted all his clothes to be perfect, he wanted his whole house to be spic and span. If it wasn't the way that he wanted it to be-
Lumi's thoughts were interrupted as the door opened with a loud 'slam', hitting the wall as is it flew open. The blonde visibly jumped into the air, quickly hiding any of the bruises she hid on her arm from the day before. If he saw them, it would just make him upset and spur him on the path for more. She dropped the plate quickly back into the sink and threw the apron off to the side, wiping her hands off before quickly scurrying into the front entrance way so that she would be the first one he would see, "Good afternoon, my love. How was your day?" she asked, though her voice threatened to break from the nerves that dance in her body, just threatening to explode at any minute.
He paused at the door, throwing it closed before turning his jade green gaze onto his 'beloved'. He was short, but not any shorter than Lumi, and his hair was a dark brown, looking black in some light, tied back in a small, low ponytail, a few annoying strands hanging in his face, though they only fell there when he was 'in a mood'. He scoffed a bit, angrier than usual, before storming past her and into the kitchen, only to have Lumi follow like a lost puppy, "A-Archer?..."
"Terrible. It was terrible. Goodness, woman, can you leave me alone?" he barked at her, looking for some food to eat. Lumi frowned a little bit, but didn't say anything back, turning to exit the room and continue her chores somewhere else, but she was stopped when he spoke up once more, "Where's my booze?"
Lumi paused mid walk, before turning back around, fear climb up her esophagus and wrapping around her throat, finding it hard for her to breath. But she was calm, cool, and collected, pursing her lips before replying, "They were not delivered today-"
Archer was silent for a moment as he stood up, turning towards her, closing his eyes and massaging the side of his head, before making his way quickly over to her, taking a deep breath before grabbing her upper arm to the point where it hurt, "You know what happens when I don't have my booze, Emmeline. I'm not a happy camper." he hissed. Lumi didn't say anything, she just stared back. He could smell her fear, she knew it. But that one time- She made the mistake to speak up.
"I'm sorry, Archer, I just-" "Of course, you're always sorry. Gosh- Can you ever do anything right?" he snapped, thinking for a couple moments, but than a disgusting, hungry smile appeared on his face, "But, fortunately for you, I know just how you can repay me." he whispered, before taking her wrist in his hand.
Lumi's eyes went wide and she tried to pull away as hard as she could, but he just got worse, dragging her up the stairs while she begged to let her go, screaming for someone to help her. Once, the two had been happy, been in love. Been the couple everyone wanted to be. But now? No one heard Lumi's screams. And no one ever would. ~~~
Lumi had been sleeping peacefully, until the effects of her dreams began to display themselves in real life. First, it was twitching, then, it was crying, tears streaming down her face as she tossed and turned slightly, trying to get out from under the heavy blankets on her as if they were constricting her, stopping her from being free. And then, finally, she shot up with a scream, sweating from head to toe and sobbing heavily, trying desperately to get out of the bed though she was all in hysterics. Where was she? What was she doing? She had to get away, get out of here, get the farthest from Archer before he could hurt her again.
{^^That's short but what can I do xD}

(If this doesn't happen, I'm going to be so disappointed. XD) (I know, that's why he's going to throw her a surprise wedding. Baltore will keep her busy all day and then when the time is right, he'll ask her to change into her really fancy dress before leading her to the spot where Loran and a few others have decorated for a wedding. And he'll just be like, "Is this what you had in mind?") (Because they're two cute cinnamon buns who are perfect for each other. X3) (That wouldn't be too far off. In the game of Dragon Age (I don't know if you know it or not, but it's okay), they have elves and magic, and all that good stuff. There's one part of the game where you have to lift a curse from a group of humans who were turned into werewolves because they mistreated elves. So if you want that to happen, I am all for it!) (Yay! Dark stuff! XD Bring it on!) He didn't know how long he had been asleep before the screaming started. Loran had been resting soundly, actually sleeping better than he had in the past few days. However, as soon as the screaming filled the air, he was wide awake. "What's wrong?" he asked, bolting upright and turning to face Lumi. The sight before him made him panic. "Lumi?" he called, gently grabbing her arm and trying to get her attnetion. "Lumi, what's wrong? What happened? Are you hurt?" His mind raced as she flailed around trying to get out of bed. Had she not expected to see him beside her? Did she think he was joking when he said he was going to share the bed with her? Was this because of him? guilt clutched his heart at the thought. (It's fine. Mine was shorter. XD)

{IT WILL HAPPEN I SWEAR ON MY GRAVE} {omg lumi would cry probably all over her nice dress because she's moody from baby and she loves loran ahhhhh} {SO TRUE NHFBDJEIFJDHNEKFJN} {UHM. AH. I LOVE DRAGON AGE SCREAMSSSSSSSSSSS cole is bae cole is bae. Omg which game is that from ahhh???} {IT'S NOT THAT SHORT IT'S PERFECT}
'Lumi?' A voice called her name out from the dark and a hand touched her, Loran, Loran. It has to be Loran. But when she looked over to the side, all she saw was, Archer. Immediately the panic in her chest rose and she started crying even harder than before, trying to pull her arm away from Loran, getting it confused with the man in her dreams dragging her away again, "No! P-Please don't t-touch me!" she cried, though she soon gave up with trying to get away and out of bed, and turned her focus to defending herself as best as possibly.
She tried to hit Loran, even more alarmed that he wasn't wearing half of his clothes, This is it, there's no going back. She flailed around her arms for a bit more, screaming at him to stop and to leave her alone, until finally it seemed like she had given in, her body going limp as she tilted her head back against the pillow, trying to hold in her tears as if to stop her emotions from showing themselves, "P-Please, Archer, p-please... Don't h-hurt me..." she whispered, taking her arm that wasn't being held by Loran and putting her hand against her face, accepting her fate to come.

(It was just an example. ) Alec laughed. "Uh, no thank you, I don't want to do that again!" He smiled sweetly and hugged her tighter. "Only the best for my girl. Which is why you have me!" he joked. He kissed her forehead, then looked over at the clock, barely stifling a yawn. "I should probably get going," he mumbled reluctantly.

(It's one of the many hidden ranks the Mods have for us. You'll find a lot more. When I got the Santa one, I was like, "That's just a little creepy." XD)
(THANK YOU!) (It'll be so sweet! And no one but Lumi, and maybe Baltore, would know she was preggers, yet, so it could be more good news to add to the happy day.) (*squees* It was in Origins. I haven't played Inquisition yet. I want to, though. Alistair was my bae, but THEN HE TORE MY HEART IN TWO AT THE END!! *cries* But I still love my reluctant king. XD) (I'm glad one of us thinks so, lol.)
At her demand, Loran immediately withdrew his hand from her arm. Her horror made his blood run cold. How had he frightened her so much? He didn't do anything to make her uncomfortable. Well, he could have worn a shirt, but surely that wouldn't have caused her to be so scared, would it? Should he get up? Apologize? Run out of the room? All three? The young elf was way out of his league at the moment. He had never been in this situation before.
Archer? That was not a name he had heard of before. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion as Lumi called him by the name. "No, Lumi," he answered gently. "I'm Loran." The young woman had stopped fighting to get out of bed, but her tears flooded down her cheeks. Her sobs physically tore his heart. He was sure that anything he might do would upset her, but he couldn't let her just sit there in fear. As carefully and gently as he could, he pulled the girl to his chest, wrapping his arms around her protectively. "Shh, it's okay. It's okay," he murmured. He ran a hand through her hair and rocked her softly, trying to get her to calm down. "I've got you. Everything's okay."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tori smiled and let her eyes fall closed for a moment when he kissed her forehead. Everything was so perfect, she almost forgot that he had to leave. She pouted and looked up at him. Really? You can't stay for five more minutes? she asked. Of course, she didn't want to force him to stay when she was sure he wanted to spend some time with his family. Yet she really didn't want to leave his arms so soon. Tori was selfish like that.

Alec chuckled and groaned. "Oh, no, don't do that to me. Not the puppy eyes!" But really, he didn't mind that she was "selfish." At all. It was nice to know he was wanted. He grinned and shifted slightly. "Five minutes," he agreed.

{I LOVED IT but it was gone too soon DDD:}
{NO PROBLEM XDDD} {OMG BALTORE NEEDS TO KNOW. like imagine she can't put the dress on at first because she's 'gained a little weight' but Baltore is piecing together the fact she's been moody and ill in the morning and he's like 'what's really going on' and she's like 'o.o'} {I'VE PLAYED ALL THREE AND FINISHED THE SECOND LIKE TWICE AHHHH didn't ever get to finish origins though xc I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. fenris is my bae okay okay} {SH SH SH SH THE QUALITY IS WHAT MAKES IT} {i'm screaming Loran and Lumi are perfect Loran is perfect i'm--}
Loran? Lumi looked up in surprised at Loran, tears still streaming out of eyes as they were wide with fright, but it was almost as if she realized who he really was, shocked as she continued to cry but not as heavily anymore, letting him pull her into his arms. He was so... Warm, and he smelled so nice, just like his tunic that she was wearing smelled, and just like it had when he had hugged her earlier that day in the kitchen, Loran... Loran, it's Loran. It wasn't Archer, but Loran, the elf whose life she had saved and in turn saved her life. She knew where she was- In his house, and in his bed. He wasn't going to hurt her... No, she trusted him not to do that. Ever. They were different, he was different. He wasn't a selfish human, but an elf. And different than elves... He was just... Loran.
She wrapped her arms tightly around him, trying to get as close as possible. Her heart was still beating a mile a minute and she was still shaking like a leaf, but she just felt so safe there, as if they were in their own little world. She worked her head upwards, nuzzling under his chin and into his neck, sobbs quieted down and muffled as she kept herself there, safe and warm in his arms, "L-Loran... I-It was s-so scary..." she hiccuped quietly, tightening her grip slightly around him, "P-Please don't l-leave me alon-ne..." she'd probably hate herself in the morning for being so open with her emotions, but she said it. She didn't want Loran to go, not now, and not anytime soon. As much as Baltore was nice, Loran was nicer. He knew what to say, he knew how to act, he cared for her well being and fought for her and her life... And, maybe just maybe, she liked him. Human, potato, or elf, she liked him. She liked Loran for Loran.
{Count how many times Loran's name was used in this post LOL}

(Yeah, I wish the ranks lasted a little longer as well, but the Mods said there are plenty of ranks after we reach Starclan member. They won't tell us what they are, but everyone is curious to see what they are.)
(Or he's just like, "So when are you planning to tell Loran you're expecting?" XD) (It is my goal to play all of the games eventually, and as much as I hated the ending I got, I will always favor Alistair. My sister judges me harshly, but I liked his character.) (You're drowning is feels. XD) (12, if I counted right, lol.)
"It's alright now. Everything is fine," Loran murmured reassuringly. The way she clung to him, like it was life or death, scared him. For as long as he had known her, Lumi was always a strong, composed person who never let her negative emotions show. She was always smiling and laughing, working away on her paintings. Of course, there was moment when he took her out of the dungeon where she was weak from pain and fear, but she had bounced back from that fairly quickly. Aside from some lingering awkwardness of being in a new house, she was back to her old self. Now, she was so terrified she was trembling and looking to him for protection. He didn't know who this Archer person was, but he resented him for whatever he die to Lumi to make her this terrified.
"I'm not going anywhere," he stated, holding her close to him. Tilting his head, he place a small kiss on her forehead before resting his cheek against her hair. He didn't move, didn't offer to get up to get her something to drink to calm her nerves. She didn't want him to leave, and that's what he was going to do.

You're welcome, Alec signed back. I've liked it too. Especially this part. He settled his arms around her again. He couldn't sign and hug her at the same time, and he was kind of into hugging her at the moment. He did feel bad for not signing as much lately. He felt like he talked so much more than he signed and wasn't sure if it bothered her or not. He should probably ask. But maybe later. Tomorrow. "Sooo...can I have another kiss, beautiful? Just one more?"

{SCREAMS i wanna know ahhhhh}
{OMG Lumi would be like 'What I don't know what your talking about what?? *awkward laugh*' *pause* 'Soon'. She'd probably be ashamed because they're not married but then they do and she's like finally omg} {Alistair was my favourite too dw xD Alistair, Fenris, and Cole but he wasn't romanceable the little poop. You are bound to love Fenris though, he's an elf that escaped slavery} {ALWAYS ALWAYS JERKRGNJKEGJ} {It was supposed to make you feel like that he was what was calming her down and that's all she was thinking about in her hysterics xD To seem kinda crazy and emotional}
Lumi didn't say anything else, she just kind of... Relaxed. She was tired, so tired, and here in Loran's arms... She felt as if she could sleep. So, soon enough, the tears stopped and her breathing back to normal. Her shaking didn't actually stop though until she was fully asleep, which wasn't soon long after that. However, she never let go of Loran, her grip didn't loosen on him as she slept. She kept her head nuzzled up into his neck, breathing up against his skin which might have been annoying but what was she going to do. Thankfully, no more nightmares bothered her that night, but she didn't dream, either. She just... Slept, but sometimes that was the best kind of sleeps, wasn't it?
{Skip to morning??? Loran gonna have some questions, though, fluffy morning wakeups are adorable}

It didn't bother her that he was slacking off with his signing. She loved his voice. Smiling, Tori nodded and tilted her head so she could easily kiss him. It wasn't like the kiss a few minutes before. Since he had to leave soon, she gave him a soft, sweet kiss. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ( Feather: I will post my reply first thing in the morning, I promise!

(Okay, I've been trying to figure out what your guys' put is, but I wasn't paying attention for the first few days so now I am TOTALLY lost! Ha ha. So what's your plot?!)
Alec sighed unintentionally, his fingers running up her spine to cradle the back of her neck. He kissed her again because hey, it was Christmas Eve, and her lips really were soft and warm and kind of strangely and wonderfully addictive. When he pulled away, he smiled and studied her pretty dark eyes. "I don't wanna wear it out. But. I love you."

(I'M SORRY!! *showers you in cookies to make up for the wait.) (Lol, I know, I do too. But no one has reached over 10,000 posts yet.) (And then Baltore is just threatens to tell Loran about it himself, so he's constantly getting death glares sent his way. XD) (Haha, I'm sure I will. I my character was a Dalish elf, so I always like them. XD) (Good, because I found a song that describes Loran at the momet. Hehehe.) (Well, it worked. X3) Loran continued to stroke her hair in a comforting way. It wasn't until she was sound asleep that he leaned back against the headboard, settling into a reclined position. There was no way her was going back to sleep, not after that. No, he was going to be ready in case she had another nightmare. So, holding her gently, he let his head rest against hers, listening to the sound of her breathing. His mind raced with questions. Who was this Archer guy? What had he done to instill such fear into the girl in his arms? Everything he thought of only made him seethe with fury. But he quelled his anger to keep his breathing and heart rate calm. There was no sense in risking Lumi feeling the change of his pulse and waking up, especially when she was so close to his heart. No, he would wait and get furious in the morning. For now, he closed his eyes and allowed himself to doze lightly, ready to wake and calm Lumi again if she needed. (A time skip sounds good!) ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* (Lol, our plot is about an elf, Loran, who gets attacked by humans on a hunting trip and is left for dead. That's when a human, Lumi, finds him and gives him help. However, since humans and elves aren't on the best terms at the moment, helping him was pretty risking. Eventually, the people of Lumi's town found out about Loran being in her home, so the two fled to his village where Lumi was greeted with the same "kindness." Of course, the two will fall in love, but that's a little later. So now we're just seeing how things play out between the elves and Lumi since she's a human within the Elven village.) Her spine tingled at the touch of his hand, but it was a good feeling. She held the kiss as long as he did, smiling. I love you too, Tori mouthed, wishing more than anything that she could speak the words that left her feeling giddy and light. She held onto her teddy bear a bit tighter, fighting back the wave of sadness that threatened to rise. This was a happy time, and she was not about to let anything ruin it.

@.Holly and Night {Oh and also about them discovering and learning more about each other right now. Kinda like Nori and Theo, but more in depth because they don't have to worry about running a kingdom xD}
@.Whisper {They're FAKE} {rip my soul but they will soon} {Bruh Lumi would be unimpressed if she confided in Baltore about it because she's ashamed the poor girl ; ~ ;} {SCREAMS YOU WILL LOVE HIM AHHHHHHH} {Omfg, you kill me. I literally opened the tab, saw the song, and snorted loudly xDDD Loran is such } {YAS XD} {time skip it is mwahahahaha}
Once the sun rose over the tree house(lol), Lumi still didn't wake up, even turning her head into Loran's chest to hide her eyes from the light, letting out a small groan of discomfort and muttering something like "Five more minutes, mom." Before falling back asleep. Fortunately, it wasn't long after before her brain finally called her awake, and she winced slightly before she opened her eyes, seeing as they stung so bad. Her face was puffy from crying, as well as eyes bloodshot to match. She narrowed her eyes tiredly, the world around her slowly coming into focus as she wondered why the bed was moving, and why it felt so much like- Oh my goodness.
She immediately shot away from Loran, but not in fear and more in shock. How had she managed to get cuddled up to him in her sleep? And then, as if it had slapped her across the face, the events from last night flooded back into her mind, and her look of shock changed into one of sadness because of her memories, guilt because Loran had to deal with her, and... Ashamed, of herself, her past, her innocence, and the fact that she had dated Archer for so long and not ran away. She had just been so lonely and scared at that time, she didn't know what to do.
So she turned towards him, sitting with her legs to the side, half of them under the blanket and half of them not, and looking at him from between her messy blonde locks that were knotted from her flailing and puffed around her head, "Loran... I can explain. Just... Please don't think any less of m-me." she said quietly, a stutter making itself in, showing how nervous the girl was, which was not a emotion she usually let anyone see. Right now, she was showing a lot of weakness, as well as putting a lot of trust in him. He deserved an explanation about what she was freaking out about... And he probably would've figured out sooner or later. The question was: Would he find her disgusting and take back... Whatever, was going on between them, or would he continue to see her as herself? As Lumi?

(But I made them with love. ) (Lol, yeah.) (Baltore would just be so confused since elves jump around every other week. XD So his efforts to comfort her might not be too helpful.) (I love all the elves, unless they give me a reason to hate them, lol. I'm biased.) (Haha, I heard it on the radio and the first thought was, " This is Loran.") (You/Lumi will never get over the fact he lives in a tree, will you? XD Somehow, someway, he needs to end up being nicknamed Squirrel. XD) Loran opened his eyes when she shifted, hearing her mumbled about a few more minutes of sleep. He smiled slightly. He was tempted to respond to her comment, but thought better of it. If he did or said anything before she was fully awake, he risked scaring her again. So he waited until she had sat up, or really bolted up, before attempting conversation. He saw the shock, which turned to sadness, on her face. Once more, his concern stirred in his chest. "It's okay, Lumi," he said softly, smiling a little in attempts to help ease her. "You don't have to explain anything if you don't want to. You were really shaken up last night, so I understand if it's something you don't want to talk about. I'm just glad you're alright." Despite his words, he was dying to know the reasoning behind her terror last night. It was nothing like he had ever witnessed before.
