the s c a r s meme

Most everyone has some sort of scar. Some are from happy accidents. Some are from events you'd rather not speak about. Sometimes, people can share a moment over scars: Be it friendly, romantic, or even with a complete stranger. These are those moments.

01. NEW: the scar is fairly new--  maybe you still need to do something to make sure it heals properly. maybe you're just worried about the new scar that's appeared on someone you care about.

02. DISCOVERY: you've just had someone find out about your scars, or you've just accidentally learned that the other person has scars. do you say something, or let the moment pass?

03. SHAME: maybe you're ashamed of your scars. maybe you want someone else to know that there's no need to hide their scars around you.

04. SHOW: you're proud of your scars, or at least you don't see a reason to keep them covered-- never have, or not anymore. or maybe someone is showing you their scars for the first time.

05. STORY: it's time to talk about the story behind your scars. or, perhaps, it's time to listen to someone tell you about how they came about their scars.

06. TOUCH: maybe you want someone to touch your scars so you can remind yourself you're still here. maybe you want to touch their scars because you want to show them you don't mind them.

07. ATTRACTION: you've heard that people like someone with scars, so you're flaunting them, or you're the person very attracted to someone with scars. 

08. KISS: letting this person kiss your scars may be a moment of extreme vulnerability, or just something you like. kissing someone else's scars may be just what you need to do to show someone how much you care. 

09. SOULMATE: you live in a world where your soulmate's scars appear on your own skin. what's that like?

10. OTHER: wildcard option.

[Eskel blinks at him, and somehow he looks smaller, more boyish. As if telling his tale had made him very vulnerable and tired. He seems slightly dazed and gropes for words.]

Dunno, don't know what went through your head when you saw me the first time.

[In truth, he suspects Jaskier was delighted, but only at the prospect of replacing his wayward muse with another.]

[ seeing eskel shrink a bit into himself, jaskier adopts a smile. it's a small one and meant to be encouraging. yes, he had been excited to meet another witcher, but... ]

The first thing I saw, when you came to my campfire, was your medallion. I figured that was all I needed to know. Then, I saw your face and I wasn't afraid; I thought to myself, this man has stories to tell. Finally, I looked beyond the scars and I saw a man who is handsome and deserves to be cherished.

Cherished? C'mon, that's a little much, even for you.

[Still, this is said good-naturedly as Eskel attempts to steer this agonizing moment of vulnerability back to their usual teasing.

Of course, he has no notion of how precious he really is. He has almost no memory of the long moments he lay in the arms of closest thing he had to a father, his brother Lambert's shaking hands unable to hold back the tide of blood from his torn belly. Don't you die on me, you asshole--!. He knows he is rare, as the eldest son of the last wolves of Kaer Morhen, band that being with his brothers makes him feel understood and safe and welcome but he has little concept of being cherished.]
