"It seems to me that a queen who trusts no one is as foolish as a queen who trusts everyone."

"Why do the gods make kings and queens, if not to protect the ones who can't protect themselves?"

"We both want to help people. We can only help them from a position of strength. Sometimes strength is terrible."

"I value your advice, but if you ever question me in front of strangers again, you’ll be advising someone else. Is that understood?"

[tinymute]

She could not hold back the laughter that bubbled from her chest. "Is it slander if it is true?' Juliette shot back, carefully painted red lips splitting into a wide grin. She crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow at him as he slumped down.

Her smile softened just a little, sinking from snarky to something almost affectionate.

"I will meet with him, it will please my parents and keep them off my back for a while. Then, if he tries anything..." She scrunched up her nose, "Uncouth, you can kill him all you like. At that point, he is asking for it." Juliette shrugged her shoulders, absently tracing the gold markings adorning her skin with her finger.

"And yes, you are right, telling me what to do rarely gets you far." A flash of that grin again. "Though you insist on coming back for more."

His nose crinkled at that last statement, dubiously playful disgust. " Ew. I let you into my home and you disrespect me with slander like that? I can't believe you. Thought you had better manners than that. "

He slumped himself onto the casket in the corner, his makeshift couch for the time being. For all his complaining of disrespect... " Look, I'm not going to try telling you what to do. We both know that doesn't work outside of bedroom activities, and barely even then... so, just know I'll kill him if you want. Offer's out there, whether you want to try meeting him or not. "

@rubiesintherough said:

“Every time I look at you, it feels like the world quiets down. And if that’s not love, I don’t know what is.” ( aedus )

It was one of those nights, the ones where she would wake after only an hour or so of sleep, drenched in her own sweat and to panicked to sleep. She had been pacing the house, arms wrapped around herself and trying to convince herself that her nightmares could not breech into reality.

Aedus had found her mid-pace and brought her back to the bedroom, where the words came out like vomit. Replays of her dreams, the ones where he woke up and realized, one day, that he did not love her. Who would love a damaged thing like her?

If she hadn't already been crying, the genuine warmth in his voice as he spoke would have broken her. She smiled through her tears, taking his hand and gently kissing his knuckles.

"Thank you," she shifted closer to him. "I love you. I am sorry I worried you." She leaned in to hug him, leaning so her head rested against his chest.

Juliette couldn't help the huff of laughter that came from her lips. She shook her head, absently reaching to twirl her hair around her finger as she considered his offer.

"I am nothing but secrets." She grinned at him, lifting a brow. "And I do not care for crowds, so consider yours safe."

Another small laugh at the idea of her utility. She was not sure if it was bitter or genuine.

"That fork business is not going to get me far in life, except being the pet of some aristocrat with no taste." Not true. As long as Cason lived, she was technically his pet. He knew better than to treat her like that, though.

"You are sweet, in your own way, you know."

" Noted. If this turns out bad, I might be able to make that happen... you'd just have to pinky promise that you can keep a secret. Not looking to have angry mobs swarming into my home sweet crypt with... whatever the modern equivalent of pitchforks and torches is. "

" Oh, come on, I wouldn't call that useless... you have so many skills from that. Like knowing which tiny fork is the one you eat dainty oysters with. And information like that? " He pointed at her, brows lifting in exaggerated earnestness, " Invaluable. ----- But, hey, I'm serious. I don't look like it, but I am: you can turn them down. "

❛ i just thought you’d like some company. ❜ ( cason )

The day felt like it had gone on for years. Juliette's body ached and her mind was like an overcrowded prison filled with every mistake she had ever made. Her head was lowered, her eyes squeezed shut as she tried to shut out the noise of her thoughts. It was only interrupted when she heard Cason enter.

Slowly, she lifted her head, staring at him like she was analyzing him. She was quiet for a moment, sitting up enough to wrap her arms around herself.

"I am hardly good company right now," her voice was soft and measured, tears biting at her eyes and sorrow creeping into her tone. Juliette sighed, opening her eyes and looking at Cason again.

"Though, I am starting to think I rarely am good, in general."

[ WALL ] * your muse pins my muse against the closest wall. ( cason )

She had been pushing his buttons all day. This was behavior that most would not imitate, and if they did, most would not survive it. Juliette normally was better than this, just antagonizing him for her own entertainment, but she was in a certain mood and Cason had been doing his best to ignore her (or at least, that was what she assumed his lack of reaction meant.)

Julie was on the verge of giving up on her little game until Cason grabbed her, spinning her to face him before pressing her against the wall. She blinked, going doe-eyed in an instant, the gold markings on her neck catching the light as she tipped her head to the side. Her lips curled into a small, triumphant grin.

"Yes? Can I help you?"

[tinymute]

@rubiesintherough said;

“Yeah, you’re funny. You’re also still a pain in my ass.” ( cason )

Juliette shot him a smug grin, bright eyes lighting up. She leaned her head ever so slightly to the side before she approached him, peering up at Cason. When her smile widened, it showed the tiny fangs in her mouth. Compared to the mouth of a vampire, they were useless, the equivalent of baby teeth. But they were one of the many markers of the difference between her and the average human.

"But I am your favorite pain in the ass," She cooed, turning so her back pressed to his chest, leaning her head back to continue to look up at him.

"Funny, pretty, and expensive." Julie got so snarky when she had not been bled in a while. The scent of honey growing stronger on her skin was a clear marker of that exact need.

an unexpected arrival. (A PROMPT LIST!)

so a lovely anonymous angel asked for a list of prompts relating to an unexpected pregnancy, and i made a list! i have two other lists over on my other blog that i'm gonna reblog over here, but there may be some slight overlap with these; however, unlike the other two lists, these focus exclusively on the unexpected part. DON'T ADD TO THIS LIST, DON'T CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN! but do have a tonne of fun with them!

" so, remember last week, when i had the flu and i couldn't leave my house? turns out it wasn't the flu. i'm pregnant. "

" i'm telling you about this baby because you deserve to know. that's all. i don't expect anything from you. i don't need you to step up or whatever. i just thought you ought to know. "

" i'm sure you don't need to be reminded, but... getting pregnant wasn't exactly part of the whole life plan. "

" you're sure? i mean, you did the test properly? maybe it was a false positive. or, or maybe you didn't read the results right... "

" a baby... well. that certainly complicates things, doesn't it? "

" i don't even know if i want kids. "

" could you please just stop reminding me that this isn't part of the plan?! you think i don't know that?! we're having a baby, i'm terrified enough without you reminding me! "

" look. i'm/you're not the first person to get pregnant, and i/you won't be the last. we're gonna figure it out, alright? "

" my place isn't even close to being big enough for a baby... they need so much stuff. cribs, prams, diaper stations... and my neighbors complain enough as it is, they'll evict me if i have a screaming baby as well... "

" hey... why don't you move in with me? i've got plenty of space, and my walls are thick, so the baby could scream as loud as they want. you could stay as long as you like. "

" should... we get married? i mean, that's what you do, isn't it? when someone's having a baby? "

" okay, we're not getting married. i mean, i appreciate the gesture, but... there's plenty of single parents out there. what's one more, right? "

" god... we are so stupid. i mean, seriously! any idiot knows that condoms aren't 100% effective! if we're dumb enough to forget that, how are we meant to look after a baby?! "

" you... you're kidding, right? this is a joke? it's a fake pregnancy test, some weird, slightly out of touch belated april fool's prank? "

" it's honestly insane that we didn't figure it out sooner... i mean, those were some wild cravings, right? "

" when you say late... do you mean like, a few days? or are we talking... months? "

" no, no, this... it changes everything. EVERYTHING. i... i don't know if i'm ready for this, i don't think i'm parent material, i... "

" hey. you're not alone. you got that? it takes a village, right? i'm gonna help you every step of the way. we all will. this kid, if you choose to go through with it... they'd be okay. "

" you know i support you. whatever choice you end up making. i will always be by your side. okay? "

" if this is some weird idea of a joke, i have to tell you, it's not funny. i mean, you're having a baby AND i'm somehow the dad? a little much, no? "

" no, i want to step up. it took two of us to make this baby, and i want to make sure you know that, if you go ahead with this, there's gonna be two of us to raise them, too. "

" the father doesn't believe that the baby is his. "

" okay. so screw the father. i'm going to be here to help you. okay? we'll parent this kid so well, they'll never want to know who their real dad is. "

" so... you wanna tell me who the father is? "

" the surprise baby is actually not just one baby. we're having twins/triplets/etc. "

" hey, hey... don't worry, okay? it's alright. it's all going to be okay. condoms break, yeah? it's no biggie... "

" what do you mean, you think?! haven't you taken a pregnancy test yet? "

" that's a lot of pregnancy books you got there... got something you want to tell me? "

" have you told the father yet? "

" i guess, seeing how you rushed over here so fast to tell me the news, that you think the baby is mine? "

" look, we both made plans, right? and obviously shit happens, but... a baby is a pretty massive deal. "

" how many other people have you told about the pregnancy? "

" what do you want to do? "

[tinymute]

Juliette could not help but smile at his comment. It was a brutally honest response, one that was not even remotely appropriate, but she did not care. What she laughed at behind her parents' back was not their problem.

"I will give you this," she said gently, reaching to absently play with her hair. "I would not feel bad if his body turned up in a ditch somewhere." Her expression fell.

"They are all I have, Cason." Juliette bit her lip, her gaze dropping. "Without them, it is just...this." She gestured to herself. "High value blood that is contractually bound to you," a sharp glare in his direction. "And too much etiquette training. Useless."

She was being dramatic and they both knew it. Juliette was very capable of caring for herself, she was just too emotionally torn to say no to her parents.

" Well, putting this guy in a shallow grave seems like a good place to start, in my opinion. But, I have the feeling your squeamish, little morals would probably get in the way of doing that, so... next best thing, turn him down? I don't want you to meet up with him. You clearly don't want to meet up with him. "

Shoulder jerked up and fell in a quick shrug. " Seems to me like you're only saying yes to this whole fiasco to try and make your parents happy. And, take it from me, that's a terrible reason to do things. "

@rubiesintherough said:

❛ whatever happened, i’ll be there for you. ❜ ( aedus )

What had not happened? Aedus had sat with her through night terrors, panic attacks, and absolute breakdowns capable of scaring off the average person. Through it all, he was patient and caring, never lashing out in return. She should know that if anyone would be there for her, it would be him. He would be justified in asking a thousand questions, but he never pushed her boundaries.

Juliette sighed, leaning in to rest her head against Aedus' chest, close enough that the tears streaming down her face stained his shirt. She sat there for a while, her hands shaking too much to form the words she wanted.

"What happens when I am too broken? Too much?"

[tinymute]

Julie closed her eyes. They both knew that he would be entirely justified in going over there and scaring her mother into submission. Hell, if she was open about the things that woman had put her through in the past, he would be justified in beating her within an inch of her life.

That wasn't her Bren, though. He was better than that. It was why she loved him so much. She opened her eyes to look at him as he cleaned the cut, giving him a small smile.

"I would appreciate that." She did worry about the vicious things her mother could say, but at least the bitter woman was less likely to lash out with Bren there.

Juliette was still, watching him with love and affection in her eyes. "I love you. I do apologize for worrying you."

It was only sheer, long practiced patience, and the fact that he was needed here more, that kept the dragon from flying out the door and down toward where Juliette's mother lived... not to return the violence, but to strike fear into her and ensure she never laid a hand on Juliette ever again.

Give him a little while longer though to ensure she was okay, and that patience might have worn thin enough...

He squeezed excess water from a washcloth and dabbed it at the cut, gingerly. " I'll go with you next time, if you want me to. " He couldn't ask her not to go. However much he hated it, it wasn't his place to dictate that... but, he could at least be there for her. " She may not try to do something like this again if I'm there. "

enemies to…. friends? allies??  … sentence starters

“Don’t touch me. You still make me sick.”

“Fine. Come with. Just stay out of my way.”

“I didn’t even need your help. You can go, now.”

“I didn’t want to admit it, but you were good in a fight.”

“Yeah, you’re funny. You’re also still a pain in my ass.”

“I think they lied to us. We aren’t that different, after all.”

“I hated you. I think I still hate you. But, I need your help.”

“If I have to rely on you for this, will I be able to trust you?”

“This doesn’t mean I like you. I still think you’re insufferable.”

“Is this what your friends always have to deal with? I pity them.”

“No, no, don’t you die, now, I just started being able to tolerate you!”

“You have a point. And that might be the scariest thing I’ve ever said.”

“Don’t get the wrong idea. You still disgust me. But you can be useful.”

“Seriously? You’re gonna finally win me over, then go get hurt like that?”

“Maybe… okay, hear me out, maybe we do have something in common.”

“You think this puts us on good terms? You’re still the enemy. You were just convenient.”

“You’re a lot different than I thought you would be. Still not sure if that’s good or bad, yet.”

“I didn’t think you’d be able to change my mind, but now I’m thinking things I never would’ve.”

“Don’t look at me, don’t talk to me, don’t touch me. Let’s get this mission over with, then never acknowledge my existence, again, got it?”

@anneironheiress liked this post for a starter.

There were two ways that her parents tried to socialize her. Her father's was more gentle, where he would invite her to attend events where he knew the children of his clients would be around her age. Her mother preferred to prop her up like a doll and show her off at parties she didn't want to attend.

Another day, another attempt to use Julie's disarming smile and gentle demeanor to their advantage. She had been pacing the floor of the event, actively ducking out of the way of people who tried to talk to her and smiling on cue for her mother.

Juliette was on another one of those missions when she found someone in one of her usual hiding spots: a woman, to be exact. She shot her a small, empathetic smile and a wave. There was a pause, then she decided trying to sign at her was better than standing there like a weirdo.

"Sorry, I did not realize this corner was taken," Her smile was playful as she shifted her weight. "I can leave you to it, the garden outside is better for stepping away, anyways."
