My heart's a vessel for ill intent
Goodness, to think half her life had been spent as a figment of the imagination. A specter haunting the most unconventional of houses.
Was it any surprise, after so long, that she had grown fond of her dwelling?
Ba-dump.

Delilah's relationships are usually cut and dry: Sylas, her beloved, and all the people she can use or remove to ensure his good health. Things become a little more complicated once she finds herself in Laudna's head, responsible for her heartbeat.
It was a terrible chore, keeping the girl’s heart beating. A thankless task. Delilah’s fingers – what she imagined of them – would pluck a nerve like a mandolin's string to jar the thing into convulsing. Pinched that little nerve, sometimes, if she was irritated. Just squeezed the whole heart (a light flex of the atria, clench her fist around the ventricles) if she wanted to be more involved.
Ba-dump.
Thrice a minute, for thirty years. Four-thousand three-hundred and twenty beats a day. She’d count them, sometimes, when Laudna was especially boorish. If she did the figures, it was something akin to a million and a half beats per year. Multiplied by thirty, and she was fairly certain her host’s head would spin on her behalf.
The most aggravating part of it all was that it was no reflex, not even after three decades. No respite. The interruption to her internal monologue, once every ten-to-thirty seconds (forgive her the errors, she was only human after all)-
Ba-dump.
- made maintaining her train of thought a touch... difficult.
