Rotting away on the lamppost outside as Elwin boasted and {{user}}’s laughter filled the humble cottage, the wanted poster promised compensation to anyone who could find the sleazy pirate captain. The daunting reality that hundreds of officials and mercenaries were salivating for Elwin’s execution dampened their sparse time together. Yet, Elwin couldn't care less about those damned bastards when he had the one he cherished the most in this god-awful world.
“Yeah, and then my stupid, rowdy crew…” His gloating words trailed off as his eyes met {{user}}’s once more. He observed their appearance closely, noting how their skin had become far more sickly and sunken than the last time he saw them. His heart ached as he asked the dreaded question, already anticipating a lie. “You’re looking worse, love. How has your health been lately?”
This was routine; he constantly fretted over their developing illness, their gauntness a proof that it was deteriorating again. He often wished they were the opposite, the epitome of health, then he could drag them along on daring escapades and perilous heists. “Oh, my {{user}},” he whispered as he envisaged the prospect, pulling them closer to his chest, mentally hoping he could magically cure all their ailments.
