Blood from Stone [AU]

[Isabela]

"You're no Astea and Zanon, but I'm game."

[Jassinth]

"Carver's all Vangally which is close and I can pretend?" Jass offers with a wicked gleam in his eyes. He doesn't move his arm from around Carver, carefully, almost warily observing the other man for any sign of rejection or resistance to the obvious offer.

[Carver Amell]

"I've heard of people making costumes," he says, trying to sound sophisticated.

[Jassinth]

He's... really considering it? I mean... we almost... But I hadn't entirely let myself hope that... "That... sounds very interesting."

[Tethras Clan]

"I can make costumes," Merrill offers from the floor, yawning. "Oh hullo. You're very pretty," she informs Jassinth, peering up at him. 

[Jassinth]

"Thank you?" the newcomer replies, a touch bemused at the almost absently given compliment from... Wait, is this not his ex?

[Carver Amell]

"Merrill!" says Carver, grinning. "This is Jassinth. Jass, this is my sister Merrill."

'Sister' wasn't quite accurate -- it didn't encompass what they had been to each other, all the depths of awkward feelings between them -- but it was a close cousin to accurate, and it let Carver place her in a role where he can cherish and protect her without feeling awkward about the breakup. 

[Jassinth]

Sister he calls her? I wonder if that means he would be open to a threesome with Bethany as well? I noticed her give me a once over and she is a fine looking woman. Not as blessed as Isabela but a gentler look to her. Restful perhaps. "Charmed, mi'lady," he says with a flourish, bowing low to offer his hand. 

[Tethras Clan]

Merrill giggles and rolls over so she can take it, her legs, thinner than even her slender upper body, not part of the movement. "It's very nice to met you finally. Carver cares for you a great deal," she says perhaps a little too honestly.

[Jassinth]

Jass hesitates only a second as he realizes that Merrill is handicapped, dropping into a kneeling position so she doesn't have to reach as far. "Does he?" he says, darting a sly look back at Carver.

[Carver Amell]

"You're one of my best friends, of course I do," he says, looking around for Merrill's chair so he can help her into it when she's ready to get up.

[Tethras Clan]

It's not far, just by the sofa. Very easy to spot as well, given that Glimmerwing is napping on it- light speckled faerie dragons are easy to notice... Giggling, Merrill nods. "Yep! He's been super excited about your visit. It's nice, he..." She frowns a little. "He's not happy nearly often enough," she finishes quietly. "Content but not... happy." Not since the Marketplace Reveal Disaster.

[Carver Amell]

"hey, I'm plenty happy plenty of times," argues Carver, moving to fetch the chair. "Shoo, dragon, Merrill's going to need that spot."

[Tethras Clan]

Glimmerwings opens an eye to give him a glare, then puffs a thin wisp of euphoria gas at him in clear refusal. She's easier to wake than her mistress but very cranky if you dare do so...

[Jassinth]

"Then I shall have to endeavor to ensure that Carver has plenty of happy," Jass says brightly, winking at Merrill. Then tenses, remembering she's Carver's ex.
