Send in “Flashback” for a scenario of my muse’s past. || @ridehiswhip
[ Gretel Ann, What in the world did you do this time~!? ]
Lips pursed shut, bloodied fist clenched tight and blue eyes avoiding the gaze of the older man, the young girl went rigid in fear that he would scold her, or worse hurt her. Even if she knew he would do no such thing (as far as she remember, he never once lifted his hands on any of the siblings), the naive part of her thought he would be; all the adults do, so what’s so different with her own father?
Instead, she only felt coarse hands on top of her head, followed by a gentle ruffle on her messy tresses.
[ Seriously, Greta, you really starting to become like your mother. ]
His gentle voice, tone worried and mildly frantic, but otherwise well-meaning eased her stiff posture as she took a quick peek to see his face having the same, sheepish look he always have.
Blue eyes rimmed with dark shadows noting his lack of sleep but nevertheless warm, a worn but otherwise friendly smile, messy black locks that are as soft as his heart.
The same look of a man always busy with his nose buried at work but always there when his children needed him, much more since his wife’s death.
[ I suppose we’ll just think up of an excuse about this… you didn’t use any of the magic I taught you, did you? ]
Bright, blue eyes blinked as she shook her head as she heard him sigh in relief. Guess she was right all along about not using any of those she learn from her father lest things gets more complicated.
“I… only punched him… because he called you ‘lazy’. Sorry.”
[ Jesus, Greta, you really need to stop picking fights on people saying bad things about us, you’ll just hurt yourself more if you keep it up. ]
“He also called my brother a ‘wuss’.” Pause. “For compensation, Gerard also sock him a new one.”
[ Jesus Christ, you two…. ]
