![A sepia-toned and shaded comic of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss from Critical Role based on a scene from I Lean In and Kiss Him [Right Here] by spottedenchants on AO3. Panel 1: A bust shot of Caleb. He is sitting reclined, dressed in a bathrobe and lit from the front. His hair is loose and a little messy and he is looking out of frame with a calm and thoughtful expression. Panel 2: A spread of items on a firelit table including: an ice water pitcher covered in condensation, a mug of hot cocoa, and various snacks. There is an empty saucer next to the cocoa mug. Panel 3: A close up of Caleb's eye, looking aside. Panel 4: A side view of Essek from Caleb's POV. He wears a distant, tired expression. Panel 5: A close up shot of a mug of hot cocoa, held in Essek's hands. The contents are rippling. Panel 6: A wide shot of Essek, tucked small, and Caleb, relaxed, sitting on a couch. Caleb looks aside and says, "Would you like to stay?". Essek is gripping his mug tighter and his eyes are wide in surprise. Panel 7: Essek looks aside to Caleb with an open, pained expression. Panel 8: Essek looks down and away, expression shuttered but still in conflict. Panel 9: Essek is looking into his cocoa, and he nods hesitantly. The artist's username on tumblr and twitter 'granteddrop' is present throughout the image.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b74c248cd09478a52b4665e9ef405956/3a1201793814873f-c1/s640x960/047b1bd7c2d92b76ef7a7c26d3628b3af5cb1704.png)

ALTFirelight catches in condensation, bejeweling the water pitcher with golden cabochons and veins of amber.
Caleb glances aside.
“Would you like to stay?”
Tired violet eyes turn to Caleb when he asks this, wide as the saucers on the low table.
Then Essek looks back to his untouched drink, nods reticent.
