❧ 002 [video]

[When the TAB first flickers to life, all that's visible is an intricately scarred cheek with just the slightest peek of ivory fangs past blue lips. There's the faint sound of something shifting about and finally, Kurt comes into full view.

He's sitting on the edge of an old stone fountain, his tail swishing back and forth behind him, a grin plastered across his face.] I know very little about this holiday, but I've read a few things in an attempt to try and understand better.

[Meaning that he has forgone all the really romantic and couple-esque things about 'Valentine's Day' or whatever they would be calling it on Thisavrou.]

Giving chocolate to someone you like is traditional and I have more than a few friends and other people that I enjoy being around, so ... [He reaches over to pick up a small black box and pops the lid off of it, revealing the candy inside.]

Who wants some chocolate? [A soft laugh follows shortly after his inquiry as he replaces the lid and clutches the box to his chest, smile somehow broadening.]

I'm more than willing to deliver it, too.


(ooc: cw for anyone that decides to read the thread with kurt and j. [mentions of self-harm, internalized transphobia and ... self-loathing?])

[As far as Varric was concerned, anyone that could walk and talk could also drink. Thedas wasn't exactly a drinking age kind of place. At least not in Varric's opinion. If the blight, a darkspawn, or a bandit could kill you at any given moment, then you were allowed to drink at any moment.]

Sounds like a plan, then. I'll work on convincing Hawke to come out and join us.

[That's certainly an excuse to drink, no matter how old you might be. Besides, Kurt should be able to guess what his cut-off point might be and as long as he knows not to go past that, he should be fine.]

Ach, that would be perfect! What better way to get to know each other than having a drink and chatting?

[neverheardofhim]

[Unfortunately, Varric wasn't exactly good at knowing other people's limits. Kurt was likely to end up drunk on a sidewalk, and the dwarf would have to guide him home. Not that he wasn't used to it, considering who he kept as company.]

That's what I was thinking, kid. Can't go wrong with a drink.

[shadowblends]

[As long as he doesn't end up sleeping on said sidewalk, Kurt should be absolutely fine with being a little over the limit. Not getting sick would also be a plus, though.]

Should I message you the next time I have a free evening?

[neverheardofhim]

[No need to worry about that then, Varric would carry him home. Or at least would try. Call for backup, if he needed.]

Absolutely. You have my TAB listed now, I'm sure. Just send me a call whenever you have a moment. Hawke'll be easy enough to draw out.

[shadowblends]

[Backup wouldn't be the worst idea, but Kurt will do his best to at least be able to walk.]

I do, ja. As soon as I get things settled with my teachers and finish with a few other miscellaneous things, I'll give you a call!

[neverheardofhim]

[What a good kid.]

Sounds good. I'll be looking forward to it, Spades.

[shadowblends]

[Snicker.] I like that-- 'Spades.'

Talk to you soon, Varric.
