@artsandcoffee ——— julian blackthorn.
her retreat into the institute’s kitchen had been mostly to escape the tension that’s been surrounding the group ever since emma and mark had made their ‘relationship’ public. despite being thankful of her friend’s trust in her, so strong that it had allowed her to confide this secret, cristina can’t help but feel the weight of the burden she’s agreed to help carry. and if she can feel it, she can’t imagine what mark and emma feel, and worse --- the one that all of this is for, who must be the most confused of all ------julian.
as if summoned by her own mind, the head of the blackthorn family --- even with mark back, julian has been in charge of it all for too long to hand over the reigns --- walks into the kitchen looking like a rain cloud threatening to burst overhead has followed right along with him. when it takes a second for him to notice her, somehow, suddenly, cristina feels she’s intruded upon a private moment, even though she had been present in the kitchen upon his arrival. ❛ oh, sorry julian, i was just about to head upstairs. ❜ she pours out the water she’d been drinking, intent on excusing herself. but there’s an image of his expression branded into her head, the one he’d been wearing before seeing her. and she simply cannot leave him alone before making sure--- ❛ is everything okay ? ❜
