Tag: nott

hey hey here’s an Angst Concept™

Nott winds up in trouble, arrested, etc. The gang decide to take a breather before they act and figure out what they’re gonna do.

So one of them (Fjord/Beau) grabs Caleb by the scruff of his neck and pulls him away from where he is kicking up the biggest goddamn fuss because they’re dragging her away in chains and one of them punched her and didn’t you see that??? they’re going to kill her!!

they get about one block away when they drop Caleb, kicking and swearing the whole time. And he doesn’t even hesitate, he grabs the diamond in his satchel and he starts warming up a spell and over that ethereal glow he glares at them, as serious as they’ve ever seen him: “we’re going back for her. Now.”

because these people are fine but Nott is family and anyway obviously it’s all a big misunderstanding and they calm him down but it’s at that moment that they all realise exactly where caleb’s loyalties lie and when they get Nott out and he crouches down and musses her hair and hugs her and anxiously checks her over for injuries, they realise something else too

caleb needs to protect nott, no matter what. and they need to protect him.

I just wanna say Caleb protecting Nott, both threateningly and by physically getting between her and the townsguard an jailer when he was still bleeding out and barely standing from the big fight that literally just happened, during the Midnight Trail added 20 years to my life. Bless this sweet, stinky hobo wizard and shapeshifting cat familiar!
