cuz though the truth may vary...
Date & Time: Forward dated to the 15th, evening
Location: Koltira's lake
Characters: Koltira & Ashraf
Summary: so a priest and a zombie start drinking together...
Warnings: PROBABLY NOT
[ Ashraf warps himself to the lake within five minutes of ending the call with Koltira, a bottle of scotch in one hand and two glasses in the other. He doesn't intend to drink very much, but... enough to relax. It's been a trying week and a half— nearly two weeks, really.
Just thinking of it makes him sigh. He starts toward the skeleton of the half-constructed cabin at the side of the lake, glancing around for Koltira. For once, he's moving at normal speeds, without his almost constant spell of agility. ]

[ He's smiling a little at the description of it, or possibly just at the much-more-pleasant subject. Both are good, man. ]
You've been away, though? What has kept you from it?
no subject
Use your imagination.
no subject
Do you know, you may be the most noble man I've met here? There is no reason for that. None.
no subject
--what do you mean, exactly?
no subject
[ He pauses, frowning, because that's not entirely true. So an amendment: ]
—And even when forced to, you stopped yourself. And this— with Martin, Bariyan— who else has worked so hard to do right by it?
no subject
And as for Bariyan and the child ... he shakes his head.]
My efforts were for naught.
no subject
[ He heaves a sigh, flopping back into a recline with arms lifted to cushion his head. He has just enough presence of mind to know that he's kinda embarrassing himself here. ]
Forgive me, Koltira— I've had quite a lot.
no subject
I'm going to guess that you do not drink often.
no subject
no subject
You're a long way from the Church, friend.
no subject
[ He eyes the drink for a few seconds, warily, but then smiles and takes it, propping himself up just enough to sip. ]
Pour yourself another, if you pour anything for anyone. It also hasn't gone unnoticed that I'm speaking far more loosely than you. [ read: embarrassing himself far more. ]
no subject
My speech is rarely loose.
no subject
That's hardly fair.
no subject
Such is life. [princess..]
no subject
You know... [ What does this have to do with anything? Nothing. Is he saying it anyway? Yes. ] It's difficult to tell when you're looking, sometimes. I can't be sure I've made eye contact with you.
no subject
No? I will endeavor to make myself more obvious.
no subject
My... thanks. That's very kind.
no subject
And yet you clearly cannot tolerate it.
no subject
[ ...This arm-shield isn't going anywhere, though. ]
...I only choose not to subject myself to you and that scrutiny, is all.
no subject
What's to scrutinize? Your expressions, by contrast, are always perfectly clear.
no subject
no subject
You're an open book. [swills from another bottle.] An open hymnal, even.
no subject
[ He scowls, even if there's good humor buried somewhere under it, and waves a hand toward Koltira. There's a sound like the buzz of static as his magic works, and Koltira should find himself pretty effectively mute. And unable to cast any magic, but it's the former Ashraf casts it for. ]
If you disagree with me, you need only say so.
no subject
I D I S A G R E E.]
no subject
I thought you would see things as I do.
