"How's tricks?"

So, the would-be thief has returned to the mansion, has he? Good thing Vladimir is familiar with that heartbeat, or he might have squashed him like a pest.

"Better than yours, I'd imagine," he smirks. "Why don't you come out of the shadows and greet me properly?"

He's survived.

He almost feels like laughing.

Well. Now all he needs to do is survive the Harrowing.

[bloodforvlad]

Surly, sullen, brooding, angry.

He's still alive, though, after all these years, after everything that's happened. Surely that's cause for celebration.

And yet. And yet.

Glaring out the windows at the night. Drinking wine.

Time to get out of town, before the Fog rolls in.

Send me  “HC”  + a word and I’ll write a headcanon about it.

Does anyone mind if he takes the next few days off to hide in his wine cellar? No? Great.

Why should I apologize for the monster I’ve become? No one ever apologized for making me this way.

Kicks back with wine, his robes falling tastefully open and off one of his shoulders.

💭 ~?

Is this kindness yet another cruelty? Or does she mean it? Can she mean it? Why? Is it for my magic, or her rivalry with the Grand General, or is there more? Can there be more? Do I deserve it?

Either "Dancer in the Street" / or / "Slash and Slash" maybe~? uwu

He protests, weakly, at the Matron's gift. Swords? He is not a man inclined to weaponry. The delicate rapiers are beautiful, because of course they are, the Matron would never bring anything otherwise. The handles are ornate in brass and gold, with the floral motif interwoven between vines and serpents, and the blades are perfectly balanced and gleam like mirrors. The pair would be a beautiful gift, yes, as a work of art. But to use them, to take one and cross blades with the one in her hands? He cannot. For all she might wish it, he cannot. He doesn't have the skill, let alone the ability...

Vladimir continues to protest, then dips his head in shame and demonstrates how his claws make holding the blade impossible, how he winces in pain and fumbles and drops the beautiful thing to the floor with a clatter. Shameful colour rises in his cheeks. He cannot hold a blade, not in the way she wished. Perhaps she should look elsewhere for a sparring partner, because even in private he would do nothing more than disappoint her.

And yet, she sets both blades aside and faces him. The hands that rise are gentle and enclose his face with care - though memories are unkind, and he still flinches and expects a painful chastisement - and she holds him and murmurs a kind word. And then she is closer, close enough that her perfume intoxicates him, and when she tells him to raise his hands he does so without hesitation.

She guides those hands, one against her waist and the other held lightly in her palm. He is breathlessly nervous, for a moment, fearful of harming her, but she stands with him, those eyes drawing him in, the scent of rich oud and rose oil slowly calming him down. He is holding her, he realises, like a dance partner.

If they cannot spar, they can dance. He is a good dancer. In this, at least, he will not disappoint. He attempts a smile, a brief flicker, before the nervousness settles back in, and he swallows hard, trying to focus on doing everything right.
