If it wasn't for that damned orb, Gale might consider Wyll as something more than a friend. But it wasn't fair to risk getting attached when he was cursed in this way. Wyll deserved someone who didn't have the potential to explode.

Summary
Ellandra blinked at the iron lamp-post, its magical glow casting a flickering halo of light onto the delicate snowflakes that fluttered and floated around it. The ground was a blanket of crisp whiteness, and the sound of murmured conversations ebbed and flowed from somewhere nearby, punctuated by peals of laughter and happy exclamations. The spicy aroma of cinnamon, apples and warming alcohol permeated the air.
Was that... jingling bells?
Disoriented, she took a step back and watched as a sleigh - pulled by a transparent silvery unicorn - zipped and weaved in her general direction. Two red-faced, hysterical dwarves and an extremely merry troll skimmed by, waving tankards and singing something loud and gleeful. They cheered and sang louder as they veered round her, narrowly missing a bolting squirrel, its red bushy tail flicking panicked puffs of snow behind it.
Ahh. Suddenly it made sense.

Summary
Wyll had not understood the appeal when his companion had willingly, enthusiastically, offered their body up to Abdirak to receive what should amount to torture...but the look they had after, and the way that the priest spoke of pain had stuck in the back of his mind. Along with a few hundred questions.
It was a tenday later that he heard the man had been seen on a nearby trail, heading in the same direction towards Baldur's Gate. Curiosity guided his feet to Abdirak's camp one evening, where he learned the meaning of both pain and suffering, and how they were quite distinct from one another.
---
This was a prompt to write a character examination piece, to explain what it is that people see in Abdirak without going into anything overtly sexual, and cover a little more Loviatar lore. Wyll felt like the perfect character to explore this with, as he is gentler but open to understanding, and there's potential for common ground between them too. I hope you enjoy a little more of a look into the emotions I see in these two~
