knowing exactly what to do to help someone in need of some comfort had never been a strong skill set for her, but she knew zera needed that, and to her surprise she wanted to be that person that could bring her some comfort. the problem was aliyah's version of comfort usually involved alcohol, no clothes, and an intense training session-- in no particular order. the difference was she knew that wasn't her version of comfort, matter of fact, she didn't know what that was for her, but she wanted to know, to learn, to be that for her. that was what pulled the huntress to the woman, aliyah very rarely felt like she was challenged, z did that for her. "it's a rage room, baby-- i have my training; i didn't know if you had a space you could just let it out."

aliyah had been keeping them so locked away from the world, from her world, but not anymore or at least for right now she had taken that plunge-- that was what it felt like to her anyway, it was more of a baby step, and brought the dragon to a local rage room. hoping more than anything that this would help her. the huntress's gaze lingered on the beautiful features of the woman next to her, gently giving their intertwined fingers a squeeze as she waiting to see what zera's next move would be.

"you actually work here?" he asked, his voice amplified by the near empty gallery, as he approached his aunt. "are you trying something new or?" seb teased her, although truth be told he saw the appeal in working at a gallery. images of flashy jewelry and watches that he was sure patreons that visit wore flashed through his mind, and the thought of how easy it would be to pocket them did too.

"well, i think that was a very successful day." corey exclaimed, locking the door and turning around to face the other, a grin stretching across her face. "hey, would you like to stop by viper before the night's over?"

you're doing wonderfully. you look like an expert. (for Billie)

They had done it. It had only taken several hours of bedtime stories, hushed lullabies and the loss of their sanity, but the baby was finally sleeping. The hardest part however, was far from over and laying the baby into the crib and creeping out of the nursery was an art form that was yet to be perfected. Especially with Billie as clumsy as she was. The exhausted parents were stumbling over their feet, backing out of the room cautiously as if they were navigating their way through landmines. God forbid one of them was to step on a squeaky toy, a mistake that they had made countless times before.

Once both in the clear, Briggs silently pulled the door to behind them, turning around with a look on his face that Billie resonated with entirely – completely and utter joy. “Oh my god” her whisper was barely audible, clutching the baby monitor in one hand and tugging against Briggs’ shirt with her other “we can sleep.” Granted it would be for two hours at most, but they would take whatever they could get at this point. With a smile, her hand lifted to rest against her husband's cheek, reminded of just how blessed she truly was. The world had settled, all battles had been won and now – they could just rest. Leaning closer, her forehead sought placement against his as she teased “we’re getting pretty good at this” before placing a fleeting kiss against his lips and gently nudging his arm with her hand, “alright – go, before one of them wakes up and we’re back in high demand. I’m just gonna go say goodnight to mom.”

Making her way through their home and into the living room, Billie’s smile widened as she clocked Zera, ready and waiting with a fresh set of clothes for her to change into. Not forgetting the snacks too. It was difficult to determine whether she was more excited to see Zera or the fresh laundry, because at this point she had been recycling the same shirt for a few days now. That much being clear from the accumulation of spit up over the shoulder. “Have I told you lately how much I love you?” she whispered, practically falling into Zera's arms as they were opened out for her.

“You're doing wonderfully. you look like an expert.”

The words caused for Billie's features to soften and a lump rose in the back of her throat as her eyes became a glossier; she wasn’t exactly the champion of keeping her emotions in check at the moment. Burying her features against Zera's shoulder as her grip tightened, soft laughter eased from her lips as she teased "you love me so you have to say that." Except, it wasn't lost on Billie that Zera had a way of knowing what she needed to hear and when. Sighing softly, her smile remained and her eyes closed as she enjoyed the sincere joy of the moment “thank you, mom. I really needed to hear that.”

❛ are you happy here with me? ❜

"seriously?" aliyah, who had been kissing the dragon's neck, pulling back just enough to take in her features. she didn't know whether or not to take the question serious at first but as soon as she saw her face it became clear that zera was being earnest. despite picking up on that, aliyah let out a laugh as her features broke out into a grin. "zera, if i wasn't happy, i wouldn't be here... with you. you don't just help me scratch an itch, ok? you can trust me on that, babe."

"Seriously, Zera," Ignacio mused with a dramatic sigh and roll of his eyes, fork being lowered to his plated. "Could you not breathe so loudly? Try closing your mouth for God's sake. And get a breath mint, while you're at it."

“ i don’t know what the future holds. all i know is that i hope you’re in it. “ (for Klaus)

“If our very own history is anything to go by, Zerpahine” Klaus hummed, extending a glass of bourbon out towards the dragon, “then allow me to offer assurance that our paths shall indeed cross again.” His lips twitched, his gaze holding onto hers for longer than what was perhaps necessary, but he couldn’t deny that he felt relief for having found companionship with her again. Whilst he would always insist that an alliance between the Mikaelsons and Mondragóns was crucial, disguising it as some elaborate excuse to remain in touch – his desires ran far deeper than just that.

She felt oddly at ease, not that she was a particularly uptight person but it was almost like a feeling of euphoria, of just existing and having not a single care in the world. Seeing Zera's familiar features instantly brightened the younger girls features as she sat herself down beside her. "Have I ever told you that you are like the most gorgeous lady I've ever met," Leyla questions. "Like truly, your beauty knows no bounds Tía Zera."

"Zerpahine!" Klaus bellowed as he merrily let himself into his former flame's home. "What is this I hear of you gifting Briggs and Billie gold coins? A little over the top, don't you think, love?" Scoffing, he shook his head as he sauntered through into the kitchen and began searching for glasses. "I believed that that we were in agreement to wait and see what they decided, before we would divide it out equally." Equally meaning Klaus was always intending to outmatch Zeraphine's gift. "Bloody hell, where are your glasses?"

For the most part, Andreas had been silent after his altercation with Ignacio. Whilst he would heal, the pair had quite literally torn chunks out of each other and with his emotions still volatile, healing was a process. Whilst he didn't hold her accountable for any of the situation, he couldn't yet face Raquel and the first person that he needed to see -- as always -- was his sister. Whilst she was the voice of reason, in remembering everything, he knew how close Zera had been to Rocky and for his own piece of mind, he needed to check in with her.

"Guess I don't need to ask if you remember too" Dreas grumbled, vaguely gesturing towards the open bottle of liquor on the counter, before pushing the frozen steak against his forehead. An unsteady breath filtered from his lungs, sat sprawled out on Zera's kitchen floor, quick to reassure, "he's fine. Just -- a scratch, that's all."

Their Vegas wedding-road trip had truly been revolutionary and Billie couldn’t understand why more people weren't boarding that train. The past few days had been filled with nothing but light, love and laughter, leaving room for little else and she was certain that she was going to be riding this wedding high for years to come. Her happiness was impenetrable, she was a married woman now; married to a man who saw her completely and for the first time in her life, she knew exactly who she was. Billie was a Mikaelson and it really didn't get better than that.

Letting herself into Zera’s home, the buzz that was radiating off of her was practically palpable and her enthusiasm a sincere joy to be around. Since their return, her first point of call was always destined to be Zeraphine, despite having kept her updated every step of the way. “Before you ask – of course I brought cake and photos. So many photos.”

Brows furrowed, dark irises pleading with his sister to forgive him as his heart sat in the pit of his stomach. "Zera please," Iggy pleads, voice betraying him as the words cracked from his lips. "I didn't- Fuck, Zera, I don't even know how to explain or even make up for it. It was selfish, I know that, but I- She was very convincing and I didn't- I couldn't see a way out of it. It was her or all of us."

It was the moment of truth, a deep breath inhaled as her knuckles rose to rap against Zera's front door. She wouldn't know if the spell that Marni and Cassian had casted for her, the one to return memories of her to all those that had her known her in her previous life, until this very moment. The choice to test it with Zera first had been made with zero hesitation, not wanting to get her hopes up with Andreas just yet. She hadn't realized just how truly nervous she was until that door pulled open and revealed her best friend and a sheepish smile tugged at the dragon's lips as she gave an awkward wave, a very different aura around her than what was usual. "Hey," Raquel managed to get out between a shaky breath.

"Z, you in?" Dreas called out after already having invited himself into the apartment, a bag of takeout secured in one hand a bottle of fancy stolen liquor in the other. "I brought you some of them potato thingies you and Iggy wouldn't stop talkin' bout." Before his voice dropped to a mutter to himself, "wouldn't shut up about."
