Jaheira Leaned Back On The Chair, Rocking It Slightly As She Regarded Nere, Her Eyes Unfocused But Filled
Jaheira leaned back on the chair, rocking it slightly as she regarded Nere, her eyes unfocused but filled with mischievousness. “Nere... Nere...” she mumbled, slurring his name as if it was a strange new song. "Neeeere... Ner-reee, yeah, that’s a good one." She paused, squinting at him with exaggerated curiosity, a grin tugging at her lips. “Did you pick it yourself, or did your mama just... toss it at you? I mean, it’s a great name! Nere, sounds so... so... important. Like you’re supposed to be a big deal or something. I bet you’ve got a whole... backstory for it, right?” She let out a giggle, almost losing her balance as she swayed the chair back again.

She mocks him.
He does not care to be mocked. He has never cared to be mocked. All he has wanted for his entire life was respect [ and freedom, though that is a far more difficult thing to say, or even to understand to one who has lived as he has lived ].
Why then does it seem as though every gods-forsaken person to have crossed his path in recent months finds it not only acceptable but hilarious to do so.
At least this one is drunk. Perhaps she means what she says and perhaps she does not. In the end, it does not truly matter. Despite what any here might think, he is no fool. While he was unaware of this [ ancient ] hero's status and legend with their first meeting, he is a quick study. He is exceedingly aware of it now.
He is also quite cognizant of the fact that she holds power while his own continued existence within the good graces—or perhaps tolerance—of the group remains tenuous at best [ and to provoke a fight would be unwise in his current diminished state, regardless ].
He cannot allow his pride to get the better of him here and now, no matter how her words gall him, how they burn at him just as Baenre's scathing remarks.
And yet, though he cannot make it so exceedingly plain as he would like, still he does not feel that he need bow to her queries either.
He takes a deep breath, pushes further down that roiling anger within his chest, and, after another moment, he corners his eyes to look at her.
"I hope you will excuse that I see no point in wasting my breath by explaining my name's origin with someone who is too intoxicated to remember it by the morning."

It is such an ordeal to get pictures to icon for Nere--nevermind any other blog graphics/background themes I might want. The only method available to me at present for capture, download, and then editing is aggravatingly, excruciatingly slow. It makes me want to flip a table. Nobody except me loves this trashfire enough to have made icons or even screencaps for him, apparently.

Me @ my playstation and playstation app:
"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.
// Lolth shows up on my dash, and that fledgling Drizzt muse in my head immediately gets loud again. xD
So, aside from any—deserved—commentary on the small fact that I have very little impulse control when it concerns muses... How would we feel about an old man with seven canaries and a "dark" goddess who is very fond of music and dancing?

"And what is that?" the drow questions with a mocking not-quite-smile, that telltale [ patronizing ] sing-song to his voice.
His head canted slightly to one side, he continues, pondering the potential answers aloud.
"A ne'er-do-well? A cad? A wizard of... questionable renown? A mere mortal hoping to cast off his mortality? What, precisely, is it that you wish us to remember that you are?"
spotify wrapped has arrived. send me a number from 1-100 for a starter based on that song, or a lyric from it, or send a 🎁 for me to shuffle.
... So, if I refollow you, you have my apologies. I didn't mean to unfollow to start. I am just A Disaster.
HOW DO YOU NEED TO BE TOUCHED?
cautiously.
your teeth are bared, as they have been, your jaw aching for so long as growls slip free. you always have to defend yourself. you lash out in fear. you need someone who does not shrink back... a hand falling slowly to your shoulder, however briefly, in a reminder that you do not have to lunge. there is no danger here, now.
