The Gentle One

Dinah Davenport 35/1000+ Alpha “I don't like to fight, it’s not in my nature. But you must also know that if I am cornered, survival is.”

Events like these weren’t Pandora’s thing anymore, at least not after her family disowned and relinquished her. Being anywhere where there were plenty of people that knew her and her family made her anxious, wondering if they were talking about her and the embarrassment she was towards her family. The scarlett-haired girl stuck to the sides, seeing as how her family did show up the festival. She had heard of some people having injuries and she dug through her bag to see what drugs and bandages she could offer before approaching one of the other healers. “Oh, I was just,” she started and cleared her throat. “–going to offer some help to aiding the injured.”

“Oh,” Dinah remarked as she looked around her room before meeting the girl’s eyes again, turning around. It wasn’t that she was territorial, far from it... she had faith in her own skill and never really worried about other around her. “There’s no need; I just have the usual injuries; this is a festival, not a battle,” she only half joked.

Arya offered the squire a wink to lessen the blow of her sister’s scolding. So often the signal to the staff that they’d be alright, if she could survive being as foolish and firm headed around Dinah. So could they. “Sister,” She greeted warmly. 

Polar opposites in many regards, she stood at ease in the doorway body as crooked as her grin while her sister looked to be as poised as always. “Didn’t someone somewhere say that you shouldn’t give advice you won’t take for yourself?” 

Walking over, she plucked a sweet from the table and placed it in her mouth. “When are you coming to join us?” 

Dinah offered her sister her signature warm smile as she set about taking off her apron that she was wearing to reveal a beautiful ornate dress. “My dear, how are you?” she asked her as she finally came around to place a kiss to Arya’s cheek. 

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her comment, “Yes, but someone also said: do as I say, not as I do,” she chuckled, moving to wash her hands in a basin of water. “I can come with you now since that was my last patient,” she told her with a smile.

Dinah’s brows were knitted together in concentration as she finished stitching up a wound, “Well maybe next time you should think twice before trying to vault over a fence with a ditch behind it. But you’re finished; go back out there and enjoy the festival,” she scolded them before hearing a knock at the door. “Come in,” she called as she turned to look over her shoulder at who was coming in.

“We have bigger fish to fry than someone thinking they’re superior on the insult meter. “ Delphine replied shrugging. “ Honestly it’s an amusing distraction. Makes me confident I can still put people in their place when they come for me”

Perhaps it was the protective older sister in her that wasn’t letting go quite yet but eventually she gave her a smile and nodded, “You’re right; sorry, I just don’t like anyone coming for you,” she nudged her lightly.

Harrison sighed at the mention of Rosalie. He was still processing everything even if at the end of the day, she got out. It was the thing that mattered the most. “She left. She left the country for school, but also for safety. I really miss her, but I don’t have to go to bed wondering if she’s going to be okay. “

Dinah’s eyes widened for a split second before she recovered herself, keeping any look of pity from her eyes. It made her think of Wyatt for the briefest of moments, wondering if things would have been different if she had spoke about how she had felt. “I’m sorry... I know how you feel though. To all of a sudden have one of the people you are closest with, just... be gone”.

Kaia leaned forward not wanting the chocolate to drip from her strawberry on her way to her mouth, “Damn, what is it about melted chocolate that always tastes so good.” As she spoke she held her hand over her mouth, chewing whilst talking. She may be the type of person to talk whilst eating, but Kaia at least had the common courtesy to hide the food in her mouth behind her hand. “Honestly, I would go to a lot more of the events and parties I’m invited too if the invitation said chocolate fondue on them.” 

“I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter how old you get, it still is one of the best things ever,” Dinah chuckled as she dipped her marshmallow on a little fork into the chocolate, “This was a good idea though... I needed it”.

For Aalis and Cassie too!

“I get that.” Such was the curse about family. If anything was to happen while you find yourself absent, you start feeling it’s all your fault. It was the case when her siblings got injured, even if she knew that this was a hazard in their line of work, and the guilt would fade, but not at that moment. “Of course, we don’t have to.” She wasn’t going to be the person to force things upon anyone, least of all Dinah, who had enough on her plate as it was. “Is your shift nearly over, or will you be here for the rest of the day?” 

“Thank you,” the Alpha nodded in gratitude after Calypso agreed not to speak any more of it. She glanced at her watched before lifting her shoulders up into a shrug, “I’ll be here as long as I’m needed, I don’t really have a set shift. After I finish here, I’ll have to go and see to other things”.

“Well thank you Dinah. It’s kind of a relief to know someone other than my sister or girlfriend believes in me” Harrison smiled, letting it falter a little bit at the thought of Rosalie, who was now in a whole different country 

A chuckle left her lips before she tilted her head to the side, “And how is Rosalie? I haven’t seen her around for a while”.

“I preferred it when people assumed I was a slut versus being dumb. At least that one is somewhat true” Delphine smiled to her sister. She hated the misconceptions about their family but she knew this was just a minor distraction in her life at the en of the day. “They could have said worse”

Despite Del telling her that they could have said worse, Dinah still wrinkled her nose in disgust. Sometimes she wondered what people actually did with their time if they felt the need to make those remarks to someone they didn’t even know. “Still doesn’t make it okay,”

“God, some people are just so starved for attention. I walked into Strand and another customer flat out said to me ‘wow I didn’t know rich people like you knew how to read’” Delphine replied rolling her eyes. “ That was a bit of a reach and I told them that. What were they even trying to say?” She laughed. She handled the situation but she found some people’s attitudes about the socialite Davenport a little ridiculous.

“Oh they did, did they? Well maybe the should check their facts because if it wasn’t for us reading, half of them wouldn’t have jobs,” Dinah remarked with an eye roll, never liking how people seemed to think their opinion of them was right.

Harrison didn’t have much in the way of family and it was why he had a tendency to gravitate towards making friends. He didn’t care where the friend came from as long as they had a good time. “ That did come of kinda bad didn’t it” He laughed. “I do, Dinah. You be surprised how many people don’t seem to like my company”

Dinah actually had to giggle at his realisation of how bad it had first sounded, despite her knowing what he meant. “Well not to sound biased but they’re all idiots,” she winked. 

[dinah-davenport]

I'm always a little confused by what Dinah does. I know she's the CEO of the property business, and the head of the armory, and she works at the sanctuary as med support. Is she a surgeon at the hospital too?

(Answering this just to clear it up). Yes, she’s all of those things. But she’s not a permanent surgeon at the hospital; she’s good friends with the hospital director who tends to call her in when they need extra hands in times of Crisis.... which is all the damn time! But in those cases, her work at the hospital takes precedence since it’s directly linked with the people of NYC. But in “peace time” she isn’t there nearly as much. Hope this clears it up!

What do you see in your future?

“I’m a werewolf not a fortune-teller”.

[dinah-davenport]

Do you want children?

“I’ve had children before... sort of leaves that question null and void”

[dinah-davenport]

Which sibling are you least fond of?

“If you think I’m going to answer that then you’re a fool”.

[dinah-davenport]

Rate your family from who you're most comfortable with to least.

“I would say I’m most comfortable with Del and Gale for sure but I wouldn’t say there’s any sibling I’m least comfortable with... maybe just ones I don’t speak to as often.”
