“  A favor if you will, a taste test is all I require of your time, then you can continue with what you were doing before this interaction though you look like no prior engagements needed attention.  “

today seemed like a better mood then, words carrying the weight of being blunt to the point of no chance to refuse her request yet softened in some way only her companion could possibly understand from the tilted way her lips curved. the kitchen was hers to do with as she pleased for a short amount of time despite other staff members hovering around the edges wary of the clock ticking away but unable to muster the courage be rid of her presence, gazes like that of beady-eyed vultures for her disposition whether sound of mind or not always seemed to be a riveting show, a spectacle, to the eye. obviously, they had seen different messier results to a similar situation yet remained untelling.

:: eva green | cisfemale | she/her | lycan:: it seems that violaine chaumoux  ; a duchess of the falen kingdom ; survived the ten year war. it looks like they have been written down as a bisexual master and it seems they are working as an head chef; how fortunate for the king. it also says that they are a versatile with a liking for painplay ; multiple partners and a dislike for scat ; watersports. (wynter/wyn :: cst :: 24 :: she/her )

✁  king stephan’s younger sister, human blood flowed through her veins once upon a time till an ill-fated accident in their youth caused by her own sharp teasing and need for scientific gratification despite the war raging outside their walls tore that from her with a vicious efficiency, like the war tore the soul and took everything held dear with greedy grasping fingers leaving one desolate. her mind never fully recovered from the ordeal, as fragile things often do.  ✁  violaine was hoarded away like a carefully guarded secret, nothing like a dragon’s carefully guarded hoard of treasures. father made sure she knew that was clear, in a locked bedroom by her parents as a child when her fate became known after the royal doctor checked her small form over for what ailed her, determining that killing the ‘thing’ was the only solution in face of the scandal her new status as an other would bring. made sense as stephan was their heir,  more spares could have been made if needed for political gain but unfortunately, the young girl lived, pushed by her own strength to remain alive.  ✁  violaine remembered clinging to her brothers’ hand that day, fingers slick with her own blood and tears endlessly falling but he faithfully stayed by her side or perhaps her own mind conjured his image in her drugged up state due to the pain, events were unclear. the doctor never returned and a new one replaced what had been lost, word of a much desired vacation reached her ears via servants gossip yet she knew of lies on the tongue, knew that the former doctor was food for the earth and the new physician became her solace as did her children when they came into the world.

✁   the mark, the disease as most would utter behind closed doors, still causes her phantom pain as does the unhinged state her mentality was left in after the bite causing fits of violent action made content briefly by things meant to distract, cooking being one of the many, cultivated in her youth. violaine arrived at castle falen due to her brother’s insistence, not forgetting about their own quarrels but family was family and the fact that her own home was rather cold in countenance after her husbands' unfortunate end. that too was questioned but not voiced, vio took that extended hand. the duchess holds no ill will nor goodwill towards the war but her mind is still machiavellian and her touch cruel. her and stephan a matching set of corruption and she will assuredly do whatever must be done to keep his seat on the throne and life intact. many wonder of her loyalty and it’s seemingly unwavering strength. as does her obvious affection grow for those of her likeness in sharing the moon, two sides that could easily guarantee her head on the chopping block if the whim was voiced.

“The want survived any fight… It was wolf, tenacious. She could not remember, now, ever having felt happy or sad. Only hungry. Only empty, and greedy, and insatiable.”
