Open December Catchall

WHO: Nadine and OPEN
WHAT: Horizon and Nott catchall for the month
WHEN: December
WHERE: Nott and The Horizon
WARNINGS: Will add as needed!



Nott

When not working - and with the weather turning, she's working more hours - Nadine can be found in the common room of the inn with a warm drink and a book, or at the lake's edge with a basket and heavy boots and cloak, gathering ingredients for the herbalist she works for, or behind the inn practicing with her fire magic. And of course she can be found at Nan Maeda's Tonics and Tinctures, the herbalist healer's shop where she's found employment. She mostly collects and prepares ingredients for her elderly employer, but she's learning and that's as important as the money.

Horizon

With the coming of the cold months, Nadine's domain reflects the season. Gone are the autumn leaves and the blue skies, snow covering the little slice of New England town that she's created for herself. The sky is overcast and white string lights and garlands have begun appearing. There's a towering Christmas tree in the square in front of the white wooden church, and the shop windows have old fashioned holiday displays in them. It bears a striking resemblance to something Norman Rockwell would have painted.

Nadine herself is often in the square, at the gazebo by the skeletal carousel, or in her own little cottage at the edge of 'town'. Easily identified as hers, as it's the only home with a shoveled walk and puffs of smoke coming out of the chimney. Sometimes the smell of baking or sound of music wafts out...

[He flushes, cheeks to his neck, extending more neck with his head to the side as an offering. Perhaps it's answer enough, but he nods and, then remembering his words, adds:] Yes. Oh, yes. I love it.

[Everything she's doing, really. Watching her explore (all right, his eyes are closed, but feeling it) is absolutely lovely. No longer do her hands hesitate, her words no longer so soft.

She had a point, though. This is better, in some ways, without the herbs. This is her as she is. Unfettered.

It is getting harder. His fingers tangle with one another tighter, nails biting in.]
You're doing wonderfully. I promise. That direction? A very good one. [He shifts his hips, inviting.] Yes, right. Down there.

[He would argue it's encouragement, not an order, but. All right, he's a little bossy. It happens when he's being teased. And when he's already losing, the grip on his own fingers turning tight.

It only grows tighter as she moves down his body. He opens his eyes, lifts his head, to watch all of that white hair sliding intimately down his skin, all the brighter than it's the direct opposite of the dark curls of his chest, down his groin, leading her to her. Ah. Destination.

Or, well. He's hoping it is, but he gave her control, and she can do with it what she wills, whether it's his satisfaction or only a tease.

Jaskier does sigh, though, a shudder running through him, as lips fall around him. At the sight of her face, taking what she wants. Fuck. How could a man not absolutely love the look of it?

His head falls back, her name far too close to a groan. It's taking everything in him not to reach for her hair. He won't lose. Yet.]
