Read a Quirky Character Interview with Rory from Rory & Ink by Alexa Piper @ProwlingPiper #RLFblog #MMRomance

In Alexa Piper’s Rory & Ink, which concludes the story of Rory and his monster mate (for now), magical twink Rory finds that he must use the magic he never wanted in order to save the family he never dared hope he’d end up with. Through bravery, magic, and love, two worlds that used to be apart are knitted together, just like the fate of our characters.

Alexa, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Rory & Ink.

Rory & Ink by Alexa Piper

Genre MM post-apocalyptic monster romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

Rory has never been the kind of person who enjoys fights or violence, but when a member of his newfound family is kidnapped, he will not just stand by and do nothing. No, Rory will use his still new and not entirely welcome magic to help. And when that is done, Rory will once more put all his efforts into becoming a trophy mate to his handsome blue husband, and he will worship said husband from the tips of his horns to his paw feet.

Inkiri has never been happier in his life. His human mate accepts him, and not just that, Rory loves him. And while Rory seemed afraid at first, he will stop at nothing to protect the people near and dear to him. All Inkiri can hope is that he will prove himself worthy for such an extraordinary mate.

With his future life as trophy mate almost within reach, Rory might be forgetting something that he has to do, but that’s okay. There are people in his life now who will remind him of all the things that are important and of all the things that aren’t.

Content warning: While this series is a comedy, this book alludes to physical and sexual abuse. It is not experienced on page, but it is a reality of a side character’s life.

Interview with Rory

Thank you for agreeing to interview with us! Our readers would like to get to know you a bit better, and perhaps read the book your author wrote about you.

What bad habits do you struggle to overcome?

Getting scared when I hear loud noises. That usually means there’s a monster out to get you, but I know that Ink is there to protect me now.

What does a perfect world look like to you?

I… This is difficult. On the one hand, of course I wish the Apocalypse had never happened. I wish that I’d never had a part in it, that everyone was still here. But on the other hand, I don’t think I’d ever have met Ink and my guys if it hadn’t happened.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m not happy about the Apocalypse, but meeting Ink and my guys, Kinnek, Charles, and Donna, that changed me. They are my people, you know. They are home.

What color looks best on you?

Oh, I like navy a lot, but everyone else seems to think green and terracotta are my colors.

What’s your favorite food?

I can tell you which food I hate: massa buns! Vinne is pretty good too, they make a great snack. As far as Earth foods are concerned, I always liked fries, which I haven’t had in ages. The Apocalypse made me less picky though, and really whatever Nokim makes I’ll eat.

What’s your favorite drink?

Hmm, I don’t think I have one favorite drink, but I would go get a Starbucks with my friends sometimes, you know. I always liked a drip coffee with honey and almond or hemp milk, but more than that, it’s just the people. I really miss them, and I miss going somewhere and there being people around.

Is there a secret spot you like to retreat to? Where is it?

Okay, this isn’t really a secret spot, but my buddy Vergis and I like hanging out on the roof sometimes. I wouldn’t say that Vergis is fun, not unless your sense of humor is very dark, but to be fair, what he says tends to be insightful. And direct. Vergis can be very direct.

Who always makes you smile?

Ink can usually do that, but I’m happy when I’m with everyone, when nothing happens, when the greatest problem we have is that we ran out of iced tea again. Days like that have me smiling from morning to evening.

What’s the first thing you tend to notice about a person?

These days, if their have horns and are bagu, in which case I’ll pay attention to whether they have anything that makes them look like Koa Esher about them. If they are humans I don’t know, I’d be careful as well.

How do you wish others saw you?

I used to wish I would be cast in a leading role, but looking back, I didn’t want to be an actor for the fame, just for the acting. Because what I really want is for people to look at me and just see me as Ink’s trophy mate. I don’t want them to think of me as some powerful mage or whatnot, and I’m always scared they’ll hate me for attracting trouble. I just want to be unimportant enough for people to politely acknowledge and then ignore me.
