Jaheira X Khalid For Kiss Prompt #9 A Kiss On The Ear.

Gods I love her

(I believe she’s responding specifically to Tav saying “I’ve heard of you” with “through the grapevine”)

jaheira was that a fucking pun?

uuuhghdhf i love khalid so much....

From the supplement “Sandstorm: Mastering the Perils of Fire and Sand”

I imagined Khalid’s mother as a Wild Elf before she was enslaved and sold by merchants. But maybe a Painted Elf of the Calim Desert…!

Painted Elves

More closely related to wild elves than high elves, painted elves commonly dwell in petrified forests-which in ages past, they claim, were their ancestral homes. The painted elves take their name from the nature of the wastes in which they dwell, but also from their habit of camouflaging themselves with pigments derived from the mineral deposits found in such places. Though they rarely see visitors-since painted deserts and petrified forests offer little in the way of treasure— painted elves are extremely distrustful of outsiders, and can turn on guests at the slightest provocation.

Painted elves are in most regards identical to wild elves, as outlined in the Monster Manual (which in turn are based on the high elf detailed in the Player's Handbook).

The exceptions to the standard Player's Handbook elf are summarized below:

• +2 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence: Painted elves are every bit as graceful and agile as high elves, but they are a bit more limited in their understanding of the world around them, having experience with little more than their own petrified domains.

• Favored Class: Druid. A multiclass painted elf's druid class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.

May or may not be cooking something up

Something I think about is Khalid’s mother

Because in the first game in Khalid’s background she is not mentioned at all, and in siege of dragonspear she is mentioned as ‘not thinking much of him’ but to a lesser extent than his father did who we all agree was a POS

1. What was she like?

like her life probably sucked a lot.

She was an elven concubine in a country that is pretty much devoid of any other elves, and so she was seen as exotic, which is probably why Khalid‘s father had her as a concubine in the first place.

She would always be below his actual wife and I won’t get into all of the horrible things that could’ve happened to her prior or during this time

And then on top of everything, she has a illegitimate kid with the dude!

I doubt Khalid’s father or his wife (mother of Khalid’s half brothers) was particularly interested in raising him, so it was probably all on her.

So now on top of her life already probably sucking, she has this kid in a world that is guaranteed to be hostile towards him because he is considered lower by default.

There’s no way she could protect him from that even if she did try.

Maybe there was a combination of resentment of having another thing on her plate to take care of but also guilt about having this kid that she feels is guaranteed to have a miserable life

2. Was their relationship purely indifference and neglect or was there some love?

Is it possible that she walled herself off from him so that when he was inevitably hurt it didn’t hurt her as much? Like self protection so she only had to feel her own hurt

Were there good moments? Where she would protect him or comfort him in ways she felt she could?

Maybe she held some hope that because his father was of the merchant class Khalid would get further than she could only to have those hopes crushed within her lifetime

3. How does Khalid feel about her?

Maybe he is a bit overly forgiving of her actions because of he knows her circumstances (Which probably annoys Jaheira lol)

Maybe there’s some resentment for not being the mother he needed but he feels guilty about having those feelings

Maybe she just fades into the background of his childhood

There’s so many possibilities because we know nothing about her so we get to fill in the blanks!

AU/OC moment (where J and k raised the bhaalspawn instead of Gorion)

I just really wanted to draw jaheira in that meme and then I added a Khalid with Evune to bring it all together

glowering jaheira

I like the angelic scion outfit a lot

I’ll finish shading someday idk

I made Jaheira and Khalid in the sims 4! I’m not very good at making sims and looking at it now I think I made jaheiras head too long but eh

I don’t own the pack that has pointy ears so i found some cc ones, I can’t edit them like I’d want because of that but we make do

Also apparently base game doesn’t have scars and I really thought it did so that’s on me

They are legitimately all over each other and keep taking breaks from whatever they’re doing to kiss which is cute but also unhelpful when I’m trying to grind up their skills lol

Also have some funny moments

Canon, also sorry the quality is shit idk why

Jaheira is not beating the baby fever allegations with this one lmao

i can't get over this random dude writing self-insert friend fiction about the ketheric battle

ALSO BALSIN

I found a save file of mine in siege of dragonspear right before the ruined temple of bhaal, might write down all of madele’s dialogue for every option we’ll see
