Dean’s disappointment was palpable through the connection that he and Donovan shared. The staircase was a *spiral* and he never got a good look at the Drow’s posterior. It was a downright shame! A horrible outrage! The carousing man even flitted a gaze to his friend/partner/whatever they were as if to share his feeling of woefully injured anticipation. The woman wore little, but it seemed to the statuesque man that she just didn’t know how to show off in it *at all.*<br/><br/>What a crime against humanity!<br/><br/>Donovan, of course, seemed entirely nonplused by it all. Not that Dean’s Knight was typical for his kind. Dean had an idea of how things had come about between them, knew enough of the story to understand that their partnership was atypical. This meant that Dean was probably a bit nicer and less raunchy than most Shadows and Donovan was a little shadier than most Knights. Still, Donovan’s pure disregard for a potentially sculpted ass, sheathed in tight leather, disgusted the man.<br/><br/>In some parts of the world it was said that drow females had eyes in the backs of their head, so as he went up the stairs, whenever he came into clear view of the drow, Dean made sure to stand tall, square his shoulders and show off the chiseled masculinity of his (admittedly enhanced) physique. Beneath his armor he felt *certain* that the rippling hills and valleys of his abdomen were positively glistening! A shame that he wore so much protective armor.<br/><br/>No doubt Donovan got some interesting mental images a second later: Dean considering just what sort of cutouts he could make into his armor to show off more of his outstanding physique.<br/><br/>“What?” Dean shot Donovan a glare, before turning his attention to the task at hand. “To the left, second door,” Dean said absently, still considering his new conundrum. Maybe a tummy window cut in his armor, with some sort of spell cast over, so he could flex…. No, wait, what about his chest? Gah. He needed a full-body enchantment that would protect his skin while revealing his majesty to the world.<br/>
