YA!Silco/f!oc | smoking | drunkeness | surprise kiss | inhuman bodyparts
Teen Silco & Gill sitting on a roof, Silco is blitzed. This is their first open conversation since Gill joined the children of Zaun.
Silco takes a drag from his cigarette, he mulls over all Gill's weird behavior, in his drunken state he gets stuck on her name.
"Why the name Gill." he says into the air more than to her, voice thick with alcohol.
Gill shifts & considers something before replying "... because I have gills."
Silco lets out a small hum.
"Can I see?" He thinks she's joking but the booze just wants to see her bare neck, she's always so covered up.
Gill turns to look down at the reclining man, her expression conflicted between flustered & scared.
"D'you promise not to call me a freak & push me off the roof?"
Silco snorts incredulously but when he looks up to see her expression is more scared now. "Never." he quickly reassures, with no room for doubt, almost sober sounding.
Gill quietly moves closer, leaning over & shifting her collar down. Silco's eyes cling to her steadily revealing skin.
Silco slowly sits up as soon as he sees the opalescent lines across her neck, they look initially like scars.
A hand half out, cigarette hanging from his lips.
He realises time is passing when Gill swallows nervously, eyes flicking to her bobbing throat then up to her face. Her eyebrows pinched as if expecting a blow. He chews his cigarette berating himself. 
"May I?" he mutters out, earnestly holding her gaze as he flexes his fingers that are still held between them.
Gill winces in confusion but nods, as soon as his fingers graze her neck she averts her eyes.
"They functional?"
"...yeah"
He lightly runs a thumb across one gill, noticing how the collapsed frill is stiff & concertinaed, but still gives somewhat under his touch, revealing pink skin underneath.
He swallows absentmindedly.
Again forgetting time passes for other people.
"...I can show you a trick, if you like?" her voice surprises Silco, he looks back to her eyes, Gill is smiling nervously but still facing away. 
"By all means." Silco manages not to stumble over these simple words.
Gill takes the cigarette from Silco's mouth & takes a slow draw, eyes flicking back to him as she holds her breath.
As she exhales it's not through her mouth or nose but the gills relax & the smoke files out of all four slits.
Her eyes half closed, she looks almost relaxed.
"Doesn't it burn?" 
She chuckles out the last of the now fresh smelling smoke "I can filter toxins into clean air with these, a cigarette doesn't even tickle."
Silco takes the cigarette back carefully & imagines it tastes sweeter now. He takes another drag as the pieces click together. 
"Good." he says with all the soft awe in the world.
Another long period of silence as Silco returns to his thoughts, alcohol flooding back into his system.
Gill begins to shrink back. "Rethinking the roof thing?" 
"The opposite in fact." Silco draws deep.
Before she can ask Silco pulls her in & connects their lips, blowing smoke inside her mouth as he kisses her.
Smoke billowing around them from her neck Gill's face boils.
"I don't plan to let you go at all." his smile breaks their impromptu kiss.
In the next moment when Gill catches her breath, Silco's eyes wander across her. She thinks he's about to explain himself until he just slumps over.
Panic
Panic. All colour drains from her face. She's poisoned him, all those times hearing what undercity folk say about her kind, maybe it's true, maybe she's coated in poison.
Silco's peaceful snores break the silence, his pulse is steady, no fever.
Gill exhales through her gritted teeth. 
Where's Benzo.

5. Fife Tosscobble (dnd halfling bard) long time fav, despite that I've not been able to play her properly! She's a jaded lesbian who was framed for her lover's death but believes she deserves the blame.
4. Chancellor's Lot (dnd genasi pact weapon) a weird one, he was a warlock who got a bad end & end up trapped in a weapon. No idea how I'd play him in game but I'd love to.
3. Uath (rp dwarven princess & insect mage) I just love her design so much. I had a lot of fun. She's adopted into the royal family & is older than her siblings but still considered the youngster bc race ages. Rides a giant ram & uses illusions to mess with ppl.
2. Aislyn Tabris (dragon age city elf warrior) the OG. The blorbo that ruled my artblog for so long. The beginning of my MILF era. I owe her so much. Got me through university. I want to draw her everytime I see her.💕✨
1. Gwillian 'the last gasp' (Arcane zaunite) the new queen. Bartender & mutant from the depths of the undercity: gills/poison immunity/sharp teeth. I put so many identity/depersonalisation/monsterfucker vibes into her. Sadly, she's so pretty she's hard for me to draw 😢 She made me actually want to write?! So she has to be #1
I can do two hairstyles: fried bob or braids.
