Drabble Challenge 2024 - Day 2: Pepper

Fandom: Baldur's Gate 3 Characters: Dame Aylin/Isobel Thorm

-

Aylin does not know when she slipped into sleep. The accumulated exhaustion of a century crept up on her, allied with the immense effort of a capstone battle and the unfamiliar strain of unimaginable joy. They triumphed over her so neatly tonight, these somniferous assassins, obliterating any noble intention of watching over Isobel as she rested in her arms.

The slow awakening this inadvertent slumber turned into, being peppered with the gentlest, most delightfully fleeting of kisses, is a blessing beyond compare. Aylin drinks it in, parched as she is, and vows to prove herself a champion deserving of it.
