ILLIAS
“ DID YOU ? ” he knows better than to feed her pride, but there is some in his voice as well. after alll, this competition has been ongoing for years now, any development cause toBRAG at dinner. he seems to unfold as he stands, willowy limbs skipping over with DANCER-LIKE grace to properly greet her. “ don’t think this is going to become a habit. you might make beating me in training some kind of REGULAR thing, but i’ll try to keep the races. ” he rufflesher already-messy golden hair in a playful gesture, raising an eyebrow at her. “ i, however, didpromise i’d give you a WISH if you beat me to this one — so go on, celaena, you’ve got onefavor to ask, ” ilias says playfully. as if you’d refuse her anything if she asked nicely enough.

the QUIRK of her lips is the only indication needed ; she knows she has won the fight even before it has begun. celaena admires the way in which he moves towards her, like a sand snake through the dunes of the desert. ( if he is a snake, then she is a JUNGLE CAT prowling through the night ) the blonde swats at his hand in annoyance, though there is LAUGHTER in her blue gold eyes. “ as expected. ” another EGOTISTIC GRIN shot his way. “ I need more time to think up a WORTHY request. my creativity suffers when surrounded by nothing but sand all day long. ”

FIREHEART
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING STYLISH IN BEING UTTERLY WICKED
YOU WERE COLD, AS THE BLOOD THROUGH YOUR BONES
SO GIVE ME HOPE IN THE DARKNESS
FOR ALL MY SWEAT, MY BLOOD RUNS WEAK
MY HEART IS GOLD AND MY HANDS ARE COLD
THROW ME TO THE WOLVES AND I WILL RETURN LEADING THE PACK
DRIPPING LIKE A SATURATED SUNRISE.
