// It's probably not surprising that Tal dreams, and dreams often, about the dragon that ruined his left arm, though never about events as they actually occurred. When he dreams he's slower than he was in life, and the blow hits Eirian instead.

Here's a #wolqotd. What does your WOL/OC dream about when they sleep? Do they remember their dreams? How do their dreams affect them?

// Since we love a hamfisted metaphor here: it's a bit like losing a limb 😜
Less melodramatic, but still a good metaphor: Eirian maintains and modifies Tal's prosthesis. Tal can keep its basic functions going on his own, but it's very much Surviving not Thriving, keeping things ticking over (just).

#wolqotd: How does your OC react to being separated from their partner for a long time?
Ame finds it peaceful at first since he likes being alone - but as time grows, he starts to miss his big ball of fluff, finding comfort in smelling & sleeping in his clothes 🥹
but he’d never tell him 😌

// Tal then joined the Convictors because killing a dragon was one of the routes by which a no-name bastard could hope to make something of himself.
After being forced to retire (a one-armed spearman isn't much good to anyone) he fell back on skills he'd learned growing up in Tailfeather.

Does your wol/oc have a distinct accent from where they grew up?
Additionally, do they know more than one language?

// A long, scaldingly hot bath is just about one of the most decadent and selfish things imaginable and an absolute guilty pleasure when time allows; it also helps manage some of the chronic pain associated with his old injuries.
#WoLQOTD - how hot or cold does your WoL/OC like their baths/showers? do they take long soaks or wash up as quickly as possible?

// Tal's from a community born out of a kind of stubborn self-reliance & historically was very rarely been in a position where having someone else look after your gear wasn't either a frivolous expense or a logistical impracticality; not being able to cover the basics himself was never an option.
#wolqotd: Does your oc/wol know how to take care of their weapons or tools? Are they one to do their own routine maintenance and repairs on their arms, or do they get someone else to do it for them? Or do they just not bother and pick up new kit when their current ones break?

On the whole, life in Ishgard had been better than Tal might have hoped but some days were still more Quickweed than Jessamine. Case in point; this morning some aetherial flare or other meant the airships sat idling at the docks rather than winging their way over to the Diadem (+)
