Bahr

Bahr had been so caught off guard by the kiss she plunged into him. It had felt different than the ones before. Urgent, pleading. He'd been so surprised, in fact, that he almost didn't catch what came after. "Bahr." His eyes snapped to hers when he heard the seriousness in her tone. "I wasn't okay. Not on my own, not at all. I haven't been for a really long time. Not since Alkor died." His eyes widened ever slightly in response, adopting an inquisitive shape. Their first night sharing the warmth of White Rabbit together, Bahr had postulated that she had lost someone she loved. She be

There was something dreamy about her eyes. Bahr could stare into them forever. They seemed to encapsulate exactly what he was feeling, and he could tell that they were on the same page. And the smile that she wore had the power to move mountains. Bahr knew it have moved a few for him. “I have three older brothers. My favorite food is pizza with pineapple and green olvies. Or anything you can put ranch dressing on. I won't hold your bad taste in music against you. My favorite color is purple, like the lilacs that grow by our barn." And that was exactly her, wasn't it? He wasn't surpri

As the sky was plunged into darkness, tiny shimmering diamonds were unearthed all across the sheet of black. Their positions felt ever changing, never fixed to the same spot night after night. Was that because they truly moved? Or was it because each floor had its own stars and constellations? Bahr couldn't tell for sure, but there was something he was absolutely certain about. On a clear night like this, with the moon full like it was, and in the presence of someone that meant so much to him, it created the most wondrous atmosphere. "It's strange," she said, peeling Bahr's eyes away from

"No! I mean, yes." To what? The awkwardness or being too forward? "I mean, no. No, it wasn't too forward. At least, I don't think so. And yes, maybe it's a little awkward, but it doesn't have to be?" She seemed every bit as nervous as he was, which was a reassuring thought. It felt good not to be alone in that. And hey, it seemed like she didn't want to swell on the weirdness of it, after all. "Yeah," he perked up, "maybe." "It wasn't bad. It was actually really nice. I liked it. And, uh, I like you. You're a really good-" Please, for the love of god, don't say 'frien

The feeling of her still lingered on his lips as he witnessed Lessa's graceless scramble to save her kitchen from extinction. A pair of fingers raised to feel his own lips without him even thinking about it, seemingly feeling for whatever trace of her was left there as he watched the spectacle. He was miles away from the chaos of burnt bread pucks, billowing smoke and over boiled water, the scenario replaying in his head over and over again. That had been such a rash decision. But it had felt so right. But it was too soon. Or was it? But he had liked it. She had liked it. What about the

"What about Bahr the Bahrtender? I could really go for some hard apple cider right about now." There was a small pause while she pondered something, but then she shrugged it off. "I figure it'd be legal now. Though I guess I'm not entirely certain how old I am anymore. Isn't that a weird thought?" Strange indeed. Just how old was she? She couldn't have been too much younger than Bahr, considering she didn't look it. It got Bahr wondering how old he was by now. He'd barely been legal drinking age by the time he started the game. But that felt like years ago. It probably - no, it definitely was.

"We always had real trees growing up. Cut our own, or bought them from the fireman's lot when we got older. I think I'd like to cut down my next tree. Assuming we're still going to be here a year from now." It felt like there was something special about that last statement. The fact that, if they were both there a year from now, Lessa expected to be spending it with Bahr. It poured a warmth into his heart that he hadn't felt in quite some time. She really wanted him around. Not out of convenience, or because he was useful. She really cared. No strings attached. His worth to her wasn't con

As Lessa rummaged through the kitchen, Bahr managed to outfit himself with more casual clothing. A plain, comfortable long sleeve shirt that was dark gray in coloration, along with ordinary black jeans with white socks poking out at the bottom. It didn't feel right to be outfitted in combat gear in the middle of his friend's living room. That being said, it hadn't yet occurred to Bahr that this would be Lessa's first time seeing him without the red coat and other battling attire. More than literal armor, it served as somewhat of a mental armor for him. Wearing it made him feel like the Crimson

"That was cheap," she huffed, drawing a cheesy grin out of Bahr. "I have no idea what you're talking about," he lied coyly. Bajesus seemed no more amused than Lessa, and were it capable of giving Bahr an earful, it probably would have. Instead, it shakily climbed back down into the safety of its pocket nest, away from the prying eyes of the rest of the party. "Guess this means you're cookin'." "Welcome to Manderly." As the door swung open, Bahr's eyes lit up. The cozy foyer and charming wooden features did wonders for generating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Gentle light fill

Bahr eyeballed the strange newbie as she entered, silently placing a scrap of paper on the table in front of him. He took the parchment and opened it, eyes still locked with hers until they flickered to the page to see what she had written. A pretty standard order, nothing too outlandish. But where did he know her from? It dawned on him as he assembled the materials into the craft that it was none other than the shopkeep from next door. Humorous that such a dainty woman had selected a venue like this one - but Bahr liked it. With enough shops in the area, they could revitalize this

Today was the day. Bahr could feel it. He had been gearing up for a change in his life. A different way of running his stats. And today was the day it would happen. He only needed one more piece of equipment to make the switch a possibility, and he intended to make it. Right now. So he sat down and got to work on a new coat. He had been wearing the same one since the beginning of this dreaded game, and it had aided him well. But it was time for something a little different. He wasn't ready to give up the appeal of his trademark red coat, so he vowed to make a new one. Virtually identical
