digital fanart of Caleb and Essek from Critical Role, in the middle of their conversation on the ninth floor of Caleb's tower in campaign 2 episode 133.
they are close to each other, their darker silhouettes surrounded by the light gray backdrop of the starry dunamantic field, light orange galaxy sprawling behind them. Caleb is dressed in the dark green jacket he wears underneath his heavy winter coat, his dark red hair pulled back into a short ponytail and his pale freckled face clean-shaven; he is standing on the ethereal floor of the chamber. The floor is only distinguishable as a surface by Caleb's posture and feet against it, otherwise it blends seamlessly into the starry space around the characters. Essek, a drow with light lavender skin and short wavy white hair, wearing layered white winter clothes and a long cloak that is trailing behind him and is draped on the floor, is floating right next to Caleb. they're looking at each other, Caleb with a soft face and Essek with a stern and intense expression he had when he said "I'm pretty sure, young man", leaning towards Caleb. there is a bright exploding star in a faraway nebula visible between their faces, and their figures are edged with red and blue chromatic aberration, as if slightly out of focus and dispersing into many infinitesimally different variations of themselves.
['I carry a lot of sins, like you do.'
'Not anywhere like I do.'
'Don't be so sure.'
'I'm pretty sure, young man.']
