One Short Day In Antiva City



Davrin might have forgotten Lucanis' offer about the tailor, but he had not. Not all of their excursions were for fighting demons or cultists or darkspawn, and eventually Rook was going treasure hunting on the Rivani coast with Taash and Harding. And just them. Quite adamant that only Taash and Harding were needed, in fact.

Andraste preserve them, Rook was apparently becoming interested in matchmaking.

It worked out, though. The timing. Lucanis ever so casually mentions that Davrin promised to assist him in some errands in Antiva and Rook is just so happy they're not at each other's throats that they're told to not take however long they need. Lucanis makes a mental note to pick up something nice for Rook when they're in Antiva City.


Ah, Antiva City. A less beautiful Treviso, Lucanis used to say. That was before the Ossuary, before the occupation, before the blight. Now it's hard to not see everything that's been lost. He doesn't insult Davrin by assuming the man can't keep up with the Crow routes along the rooftops and across ziplines, so much faster than the weaving crowded streets up the hill the city is built on overlooking the harbor the few times they need to duck down to street level.

"Should be right around - ah, there it is," Lucanis declares once they're half way up the hill, the financial district of the city settled between the Palace at the top and the harbor and all the wealth the shipping industry brings. This time when he drops down to the street level it is where they'll stay for the time being, heading to an understated store front with a simple hanging sign that looks like an embroidered rose carved into the wood of it.

He was a patient man. Hunts could last weeks, months. But after the build up, the slow movement down, the teeth and tongue, he couldn't help letting out a relieved moan, his fingers tightening in Lucanis' hair, as there was finally touch.

"I- ha, I think it'll be easy enough. Tonight."

"I'll be-" he cut off as Lucanis used his mouth for the first time, obeying his own advice and not holding anything back to show how much it was enjoyed as he arched off the bed. His hand stayed tight in Lucanis' hair, urging him to stay where he was, if not come a little closer.

"I'll be more thorough...later."

Everybody chokes sometimes, but Davrin isn't complaining about the slow and steady experimental approach. Very in favor, in fact, spreading his legs wider to allow any and all access needed. Somewhere in the back of his mind he registers this would be the perfect moment for some assassination attempt to happen, but forces it down. He has to trust that this night of all nights even a Crow house should be secure- and they still had Spite, who was presumably paying some attention.

In a silent apology for letting his mind wander for even a fragment of a second, he used his free hand to gather any of Lucanis' hair falling free and getting in his face, holding to back. That is cleared his own view of everything was naturally just a side benefit.

Not sexy, no, but adorable somehow. The great First Talon willing to show an imperfection. Davrin runs one thumb over his cheek, already enjoying himself far more than he expected after just a few moments. Blame it on the length of the hunt, or just how gorgeous the man looked, but this would be a short introductory lesson.

"You don't have to go too far."

"We've got time."

Maybe not weeks or months if things kept progressing, but certainly enough free time in the Lighthouse to make some significant progress between battles. Thinking of it puts a slightly mischievous edge to his smile even as it sends a shiver down his spine. Yeah, they would have to invest in some locks.

"But if you're that eager, don't let me hold you up."

"Thank-"

Tragically, the smirked gratitude couldn't be finished. His eyes fluttered for a moment instead before he schooled himself into looking down again, watching Lucanis with slightly parted lips. A few minutes, and it would be his turn to gently tug his hair in warning.
