@faustyne sent : ‘ yours is not a body i can bury ’
sympathy curls , acidic , pity - drenched in shades of red and gold ! creature of the undead , her creature whether she sired him or not . the world has crafted him in poison and brine , and she has undone it all , piece by piece . a child holding at the broken , fluttering wings of a little bird and clucking her tongue in sorrow ( you poor thing , what have they done to you ; let’s see what kindness can do , let’s see what claws can undo ) .
and what will loyalty get him , in the end ? he has walked this route time & time again , legend made bone made flesh .
‘ lady faust . ‘ a timbre still wrapped in ancient languages & forgotten histories , a tongue both foreign & not , all at once . the reservation on his lips is bloody . a sanguine sort of poetry . ‘ you may one day . find your peace . ‘ holiness still sits on him , a mantelpiece to piety . ‘ but not yet . ‘ he smiles and the illusion shatters : a gleam of white - fanged teeth . he bows his head . ‘ i’ll return soon . ‘
