I have too many characters with too many interpersonal relationships and things like this end up happening.
This is were Snowdrop 'breaks up' with Madame Starfall, or at least puts an end to their fucked up... I can't call it relationship, so I'm just going to say affair. Yeah affair works.
Anyway, this takes place between this and this
-----------------------------
Snowdrop never quite understood Madame Starfall's hatred of her. It wasn't like she was the one who encouraged Ramon to cheat on her multiple times, or encouraged him to get feelings for her.
In fact, she cracked him one across the face when she heard he was routinely cheating on his fiancée.
Apparently that set of a switch in the miscreant's head, and now she was paying for that imbecile's strange fantasies.
But what was even stranger than her scorn was her infatuation. She swung wildly from beating Snowdrop black and blue, drowning her, and ripping away her feathers to dragging her into her suite on the top floor and to her lavish bed. From scathing barbs to cuddling into her chest after a tryst on said lavish bed.
And for a long while, she dealt with it. She wasn't okay with it by any meaning of the word, but she dealt with it. It was just another aspect of Snowdrop's life.
But recently, something had changed, and caught her attention even more than the oddity of Madame Starfall's dependency on her.
Dappled feathers and devious amber eyes. A teasing smirk, or as it a smile? A business card tucked away into her breast pocket and clear interest in her. Especially if that kiss was anything to go by...
A covering of frost crawled across her cheeks and she watched the Madame's blood red fins ripple with the sudden, if slight, drop of temperature. That broke her out of her slight daydream and she began slipping away from the ocean wraith.
A trill drew her attention back to the Madame, who was blearily opening her eyes. "Leaving already?"
"This is the last time I'm doing this with you."
"You say that every time." It wasn't a whine, but it was very close.
"Well, I mean it this time. No more of whatever this is, I'm done."
"Whatever you say..." And the wraith drifted back to sleep.
It was clear she didn't quite believe her, but Snowdrop really did mean it. Even if her hopes fell out, she wouldn't entertain this shallow mockery of a relationship anymore.
And if her hopes didn't fall out...
She would certainly have something, someone, to look forward to. Maybe even someone to really, truly share things with. That silly old ring has been sitting in that box for far too long.
But she was getting ahead of herself. She's only talked to them once and even then, it was at a masquerade. But she had their name, their occupation and even their Hellphone number.
So as she gathered her discarded clothes, she smiled. At least it seemed like they wanted to hear from her again.
