❝ SHE WANTED TO MEET YOU. just get to know somebody, close to me. was it necessary to make it into an interrogation ? film nahin hai yeh ! this is not a movie where all this dramatic dialogue becomes some kind of intellectual competition. ❞ /. @daminiqs
“ it’s better i go than you do. ” if more of their staff were around, if any of the indian palaces heard about this, they would never let the future queen step out of the building in this situation. but she is younger than damini, it is the proper way. “ rohan will be fine. he is used to this, and worse. if he does need help we’ll find him. ” [ @daminiqs ]
date: 2042 location: bern, switzerland
“ okay junior V, ” voice airy and cool, it hides the tiniest seed of apprehension. “ give me your best shot. ” not best shot, an okay shot. “ i’ve been training my tongue, it’ll be better than last time. ” how hard can it be it’s veer, if the kid can take it so can she. [ @daminiqs ]
THE BUILDING HAS THAT UNMISTAKEABLE AROMA of newness, strangers hurrying past him with metal beams or paint buckets or large wrapped rolls of fabric. it’s a good thing there is a buzzer, rapping any door with his knuckles won’t drown out the noise. when the door opens, it’s his back she sees first before he turns. ❝ mandir aaoge ? ahana didi has a call she wanted to come, but she can’t make it. driver can be ready in ten minutes. ❞ /. @daminiqs
damini qutb shah is one woman who has always unsettled her in inexplicable ways. sometimes she tells herself it’s the height, that this is some silly insecurity she has — other times she wonders about the hundred yard gaze damini occasionally tends to have, or the too-wide smile, that seems to appear far more often than could possibly be natural for any human person. around the duchess, ahana holds the well-schooled posture, not a single movement in her body or her countenance gives away more than what she wishes to.
three lines of pleasantries. that is all they’d exchanged, before promptly taking seats. barely an hour from arrival at the hotel, this time has been pencilled in as a meeting, not a social call. rohan might be friends with the woman, almost familial. ahana has held her guard closer to her chest. her mother, the queen regent holds damini in high regard, nothing more.
“ she has made some demands, we are looking into it. to tell you the truth, these near-sighted things are holding us back. you’ve been having meetings, kaise chal rahi hai ? anything i should know before i start filling my calendar ? ” [ @daminiqs ]

IT’S A HOT DAY. a bead of sweat rolls off his brow, while he casually dusts off the weighted sword, before surveying his son sprawled in the dust. ❝ next time. don’t be cocky. the time for you to teach me, or your master — is not today. if you don’t earn your place here, you’ll be challenged, and by god, you better win. ❞ hand extends to help him up. //. @daminiqs
