Julezen2025: #27 "Free Day - Daydreaming"
He thought of it more often than not.
...and, in truth, he didn't always think of his treacherous half-sister when he envisioned the battle that would secure Capricia to his side. That would prove to him (and her) that she'd chosen to fight him no longer.
A fight, really. Any fight. One in which he'd picked up the lance he'd so long, long ago let fall to the side. A fight in which he wielded only martial prowess.
And... often... he thought of Solange.
Surely she would attack on sight. Duskwights were notoriously violent and irrational, and being the half-blood that she was... She wouldn't turn down a chance to attack the man who'd put a sword through her body.
The last bit of gossip he'd heard put her somewhere east, but it wasn't out of possibility that their paths would cross... And then she would show the truth of her parentage by lunging at him.
And when he lay beside Capricia, the end of her choke chain lead tensing around his wrist when she tried to roll over... He thought of what that fight could become.
Of the flare of aether as Capricia would cast a shielding spell over him, would draw her slim rapier to leap into the fray, ready to stand with him against anything that attacked.
And it tickled him profoundly to think of it.
One day, the fight would happen, he felt certain of it. Regardless of who flew at him to attack, Capricia would jump to his defense out of that possessive rage he knew intimately.
And when that day came, he knew he would walk away from her without a moment's hesitation.
What fun it would be to do so and hear her race to follow him, see her hurry to catch up to him and take a pet's proper place at his side.
