Gentle giants

[vivalaopenpost]

( surprisingly gentle )

Because is there anything better than a dangerous, potentially deadly stoic whose one weakness is their sweet, harmless object of affection? Especially if the latter has the former wrapped around their finger, knowingly or otherwise. To avoid tl;dr - suddenly, a wild bae approaches! Their attempt to turn you into a puddle of goo at the knees, whether purposeful or not, is very effective. This meme is pretty shamelessly for fluff, opening up, dokis, and also more dokis. Respond with your character, preferences, what role you'd like to play if it matters, and any other info. Then, respond to others.

[ooc: Interested in big scary witcher meets petite vigilante hero who loves cooking?]

[monstrocities]

[ The monster is dead, it's body splayed on the ground in front of him, no longer moving or breathing. The monster is dead, but Geralt is not in much better shape. He's slumped against the building behind him, potions strewn across the far end of the alleyway, out of reach.

Geralt is confident that he'll live through this, but in the meantime, it fucking hurts. The bruxa has gotten a few good slashes in before Geralt had beheaded her, and he can feel how deep they are. It will be a while before his mutagens heal him enough to move, and hopefully he and the bruxa's carcass aren't discovered in that time. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

[As it happens, fortune has decided to smile upon the Witcher this day and instead of leaving him to lay slumped in a dark alley by himself it sends help in the form of a petite woman named Dawn.

Dawn was on her way home from the market, a bundle of fresh herbs and vegetables on her back when she happens across the slumped body of Geralt. She doesn't bother asking if he's okay because it's obvious that he's badly hurt, instead she rushes to his side.]

Can you speak?

[She asks softly and pulls off a few leaves of mint from her backsack, grinding it between her fingers and waving it under his nose. The fresh minty aroma hopefully helping to revive him.]

[monstrocities]

[ Geralt is somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness when he hears a soft woman's voice. He cracks his eyes open just as she crushes the sharp mint in her fingers, and turns his head to spit some blood out of his mouth. ]

Yes, [ He rasps.

This woman is a stranger; he's never met her before. She seems to be human, non-magical judging by the fact that his medallion is quiet against his chest. Geralt isn't entirely sure what she wants from him. ]

For @zomboii

[itstillhurt]

[She didn't remember falling asleep.

The clearing was deceptively more idyllic in the daylight. Clean, fresh air, sparse grasses on soft earth, a stream nearby for water, the cover of trees for shade and to keep the winds from being too vicious. From here, you couldn't smell the smoke from the fight last night, though it wasn't that far off. Her injuries didn't hurt yet.

She could almost fool herself into thinking it was pleasant, this isolation.

The idea immediately makes her surly, and the thoughts in which she quickly loses herself distract her from the presence of a second figure in the clearing with her.]

[zomboii]

[ As if that second presence won't notice her right away.

...Alright, maybe not right away; it takes the scent of her carried on the wind to pull him out of his dazed wonder. One minute, he had been home in his world: the world where building no longer stood tall, and where trees and brush had started to reclaim everything.

This looks sort of like this too, and for just a moment Unnamed stares at it in befuddlement, because everything smells different except for the one thing that smells familiar. ]

--! Auh...!

[ He doesn't hear his own voice, but he lets out the cry anyway because he knows she will--and starts running over to her.

She's here, she's here--But how is she here? And where is here, anyway...?

"Blue Fire!" ]

WELL YOU KNOW I GOTTA- 1/5

[itstillhurt]

[That voice- that sounded-

...her mind has been cruel to her in the past, but that, admittedly, hurts. A lot. Enough that she hunches for a moment, trying to restrain the immediate and reflexive pangs of rage and loneliness it provokes. And then she sees a glimpse of movement beside her, turns, and-]

2/5

[itstillhurt]

[...what?

Was that-

Spirits, that was-

What- was he doing here? What was- why would-

There's a moment when she just stares at him, as if she can't quite understand what she's seeing.]

3/5

[itstillhurt]

[Another moment, and she doesn't even realize the hint of a smile that's slipping onto her face as she sees him, the odd wave of relief that seems to flood her body as she rises to her feet and takes a step toward him-]

4/5

[itstillhurt]

[And stops short.

"He told me I wasn't a monster. That he wasn't afraid of me."

But you are. Last night proved it.

... She takes a step back. Her face falls, and she averts her gaze.]

5/5

[itstillhurt]

[It was true. Yesterday, he would have been terrified of her. He would have-

The thought makes her breath catch, makes her vision blur, makes her gut clench and her lip tremble.

It's been long enough that she feels clumsy and out of practice when she signs back.

'I thought I never see you again.']
