A Tender Moment

A commission I’ve just completed that I really enjoyed doing! A tense storytelling moment between two characters in the client’s party, with lots of juicy details in there.

The battle was won, but at no meagre cost. Even now, Prophet could feel the six-fingered hand of Vecna calling out to him, darker thoughts not his own clouding his mind. Espa knelt beside him, placing a hand tenderly upon his companion’s shoulder. A soft sigh. Removing the hand spelled the risk of instantaneous death, a burden the party was intimately familiar with. Espa let a gentle, reassuring smile rest upon his face, and felt his grip around Prophet’s scimitar tighten in his other hand. “Fifty-fifty?”
“Fifty-fifty.”
