eliot_thespectacularEliot had been just about to give up when out of nowhere he spotted Willy. And as soon as he'd started speaking the fae had flippantly said, "It's taken care of." Eliot had been confused, but Willy was clearly in a rush and not interested in speaking. Come back later, he'd said, or just go have your fun. I told you it's already taken care of.
Eliot didn't dare hope, but he also didn't know what to do. Should he find some random person on the street and try to kiss them? No, obviously not. And besides, he knew what he wanted to do.
It didn't take too long to find out where the kingsguard lived. And though it was difficult magic, he managed to maintain invisibility as he snuck around the castle. And managed to maintain it when he saw Aaron, and followed him until he was alone. Wanting to be sure no one would see him.
Then he dropped the spell, once he was standing in front of Aaron, and put a finger to his lips.

This was nice. And in his own bed, which was...somehow nicer still.

Date: 2022-12-29 10:43 pm (UTC)Aaron thought on it then, on the situation as a whole. "And this is probably not a good time to bring up your wife..." Eliot claimed she was a good woman. In which case he probably wouldn't want to cheat on her too often.

Date: 2022-12-30 12:15 pm (UTC)"Alright," Aaron said, gently, no judgement from him. "Good to know, so I don't put my foot in."

Date: 2022-12-30 01:50 pm (UTC)"What's the best way for me to find you again?" Eliot asked. "I assume you probably don't actually want me coming to the castle..."

Date: 2022-12-30 04:37 pm (UTC)"Well, not without invisibility spell," Aaron said, truthfully. "Or a good diplomatic excuse."
He thought on it. "We could set a date. I have a cabin in the woods, not far from a portal."

"How about next week? Will you be able to miss me until then?" He teased. He had no illusions that Eliot would wait or save himself for him.

Date: 2022-12-30 05:35 pm (UTC)He also had no intention of fucking Fillorians. He wasn't stupid.
