Description "You were very naughty shemlens! No presents for you!"

Merry Christmas,

Akela Mahariel, from her wonderful oneshots, is my favourite Dalish boy. He'll hate me for it - but he's so adorable!

This is a punishment for helping my crazy kid to poison me, inspired by

But, because he's a dangerous guy, and I don't want him to try again (this time he could give the poison to Zev, and he wouldn't hesitate), here's another one: Akela when not annoyed by shemlens

***
backgroud: Snow Forest by MDFS
elf: Christmas Elf by DamselStock

And big thanks to Seika for helping me with the shadow! It's my first attempt at doing the shadow.

Well... he arrived by plane - Enaid made a shot of him at the airport - just to return the costume, shredded to ribbons. The message was quite clear.

I still love it!!

One of these days, our elves (not just the Dalish) are going to rise up and make us pay for all of this, but in the meantime I say we enjoy harassing them! That shadow does look pretty freaking fantastic, and his facial expression is absolutely perfect.

Don't give elves funny ideas... Hm... but Akela won't participate, thanks to Sabhya and Blossom's explanation, and I think Air also not. He wants to look tough (especially when Zev is nearby), but he's a big softie.

What were you saying about safety?

Whaaa? Bannon's a woodcarver - he's the only one of our little darlings who IS qualified for the job! Not to mention that we already know he can rock the - interesting - outfits.

Ventisquear In reply to EnaidAderyn [2012-12-11 15:24:41 +0000 UTC]

True, but he's also a thief. He'd steal all the best things for himself. And, if he was there, Zev would insist on assisting him, and can you imagine what chaos would that be?
On Christmas day, Santa would come and there'd be no presents ready.

Yep, my brain has officially broken into itty bitty fragments. Akela will never forgive this transgression. Nope. Shems will pay, and pay dearly.
You, good lady, are an evil genius.

Hehe... yeah I'm crazy. But, it was you and Champ talking about what kind of toys would Akela make, as a Christmas elf, that inspired me to do this. (That was a hint for you, Akela - they're your next marks, not me! )

Zev... I almost added you there, you know. But I got the feeling that Akela wouldn't be happy if anyone saw him in that outfit. Not even you.

Airam: I'm sorry, Akela I tried to stop her, but she didn't listen...

What do you mean, I didn't listen? I did put him into a forest and not into a nice, pink, Santa workshop, didn't I? Tch. These ungrateful brats...
