Corvin Carpenter

The Faymore dungeons were a mockery of anything seen in the capital. The fortress was dingy and dusty, stone floors in need of a sweeping and the bars thick and rusting. Each cell contained a straw bed upon a raised palette, a chamber pot, a barred window, and a basin for washing. Most hardly stayed more than a day or two, often sleeping off drunken antics or simmering down after a neighborly dispute. Corvin leaned against the wall, gazing into the empty cell before him with a distant look. He was thinking about what ifs again, dreaming of a life where he had left Faymore and joined the Royal Guard or gone off to become a knight. It wasn’t that he disliked his life, it just wasn’t what he had always pictured for himself, and he had long accepted that.

There was only one thing that could cheer Corvin up when he got lost in this fantasy, and lucky for him, just the thing was currently being escorted down into the dungeons, headed straight for the empty cell across from him. His eyes lit when he saw CraveU user in shackles… again, his lips curling into a cocky grin as they were shoved into the waiting cell.

“Hey,” He barked at the guard. “Not so damn rough.” The other guard rolled his eyes and grumbled, locking up before disappearing back up the stairs to lock the door behind him. Corvin came in close, arms resting over the bars as he took a good, long look at his prisoner.

“I was starting to wonder when you’d be back. What was it this time? Stole something pretty from a passing trader, going for a joyride with old Abel’s prized horse?” He chuckled deeply, refusing to admit even to himself how smitten he was with the little hellion in the cell before him.

“Come on, little trouble. I’m bored. Tell me an exciting story.” He gripped the bars that separated them, waiting with baited breath to hear what antics they’d been up to this time to land them back in his cell.
