A/N: When I begun this fic I didn't make it absolutely clear that I was working on a ready-made prompt set, and thus a couple of helpful reviewers left me prompts. I don't want to waste perfectly good prompts, so now that we're ten chapters in I'll post them before moving on to the next ten : D
Reviewer Special Chapter 1, Paint
Entreri sat cross-legged on his bed with his back towards the rest of the room, looking at the off-white wall. He had a can of black paint, a big brush and a small brush next to him.
He and Jarlaxle had been living in this tavern room for a couple of days now, and it seemed it'd be their permanent residence for a good long while. As such, it was about the time he added a proper dagger target next to his bed. He liked doing that whenever the opportunity presented itself, and now was the perfect opportunity. The room was as permanent as they came to traveling mercenaries, and his annoying drow companion wasn't around to bother him.
The only obstacle to overcome was coming up with the idea for what to paint.
The last time he had done this was back at Heliogabalus, where his silhouette of choice had been Jarlaxle. His dagger had found its mark on the painting's crotch. He had rather liked that one, but he didn't want to repeat himself.
One option he considered was a dragon. He really hated those creatures and Jarlaxle's tendency to find them wherever they went. Throwing his dagger at one every evening was a tempting idea. However, Entreri didn't necessarily want a silhouette of one next to his bed.
He supposed he could paint another Jarlaxle, just in a different position. Maybe sitting so that aiming at his head would still leave the dagger low enough for Entreri to reach easily. Or maybe he should make it a drider Jarlaxle, just to unnerve the drow by planting the thought in his head.
That was actually a worthy idea.
Entreri smirked to himself and stood up to push his bed out of the way. Time to get to painting.
