@feyras said, " I HOPE YOU'RE NOT LEAVING ON MY ACCOUNT. "
hands are quick to close her book, snapped shut with all the attitude & tension held about her shoulders. pushing heavy chair backward with movement. eyes bear into him for a moment making her displeasure known. ❛ that's precisely why i'm leaving. ❜ says empress, but empress only in name, as she rounds the otherside of the desk. ❛ i have no desire, nor the energy, to be glared at nor met with disdain today, paul. ❜ irulan walks past him, stopping at the door to almost mockingly bow her head. it's always been fake submission.

He had dreamed of her. the sweet nothing of the phrase held a weight she couldn't comprehend. She had only seen what they had shared in the orgy of the consumption of the waters of life.
It was peace between storms. it was love in the simplest terms. She reached for his hand, letting it guide her to sit near him.
She knew nothing of him before he came. Her first meeting with him was that of holding a maula pistol to his back. The tribe came before the individual. If the tribe persisted then so did each and every person.
He saw things no one could. the future, the past, and the now. He was more than just a man, yet it was not Muad'Dib that she loved.
"Usul," she whispered, " My strength, stay with me." her heart belonged to the boy in that cave, wide eyed in the dark, offering his counters without knowing their meaning. It was not a stroke of destiny, as his visions made them out to be, it was love.

@feyras ASKED: Ever since I met you, no one else has been worth thinking about .(PAUL)
Her fingers laced with his, listening to all that he said. gently she pulled on his hands, standing up on her toes and kissed him. "in a time of quiet between storms. " she whispered, " that time is now, beloved."
“ i can stay, if you want. ” ( from azriel )
the rapid beat of her heart was excruciatingly loud in her ears and she felt achingly cold. the air wasn’t chilled, the house always kept the rooms warm during this time of year. it was her insides that were freezing, teetering on the edge of frostbite. upon azriel waking her there was a light coating of frost on her tongue, her eyelashes dusted with hoarfrost. it didn’t take nesta very long to conclude what had happened; she had a nightmare that manifested the extremities of her powers and azriel was the one to wake her. her nightmares were sporadic and the cause of them could be any number of things.
this time she believes it’s because her, gwyn, and emerie are looking deeper into her powers together. the three spend endless hours in the library searching for any book that has information that could help them as well as experimenting with nesta’s magic in the library’s pit. so far there had been no books and nesta was sure one would never appear. as for her magic, she never delved too deep or pulled up a lot at once for fear of hurting her friends or the library. they needed to go somewhere else for that and nesta debated finding a place by herself so her friends weren't at risk.
that’s probably why in her nightmare tonight her biggest fears came to life, hurting and killing the ones she holds so dear. the tears on her cheeks had turned to ice…she hadn’t even realized she was crying. what if her nightmare wasn’t just a nightmare but a warning? dread coiled itself around her so tightly she felt as if she would vomit on her bed. azriel’s soothing voice was at her ear. it was him and his shadows that were able to pull her out tonight. she looks to him and she feels so small and afraid and she hates it, no amount of physical strength can stop her from being so terrified of her powers. she nods her head at azriel’s question. “please,” even to her own ears her voice sounds so frail. “i don’t think i can go back to sleep and i don’t want to be alone.”

@feyras ASKED: please don’t regret me. (PAUL)
"Do they not have games on your homeworld, Usul?" she asked, holding the sandtrout in her hands carefully. The idea of donning them as gloves did not seem strange to her. Sandtrout were only a larval state of the maker.
They were not yet comparable to Shai Hulud. They were not yet God.
There was a certain kind of weight in his words, almost comparable to their shared vision during the communal partaking of the changing of the Water of Life.
She did not wish to live in the future, or that great destiny that would weigh on him. She only wished for now.
"I will only regret that you do not come play with us." Carefully she let the sandtrout slip over her arm, letting it protect her skin like a glove. " it really is quite fun, Usul. It would be good to have you on our side."

HOW LONG HAD IT BEEN ? felt like eons . thousands of years had passed . when was the last time she saw the sky ? tasted the rain ? felt the wind upon her skin ? too long . far too long . nothing changed within the pocket realm that she created . she need not eat . need not drink . yet she was starved . starved to feel alive once more . hope was something she had lost long ago . came to terms with the fact all she would ever know would be the twilight realm ---- the skies forever in the rays of dusk . she'd been forgotten ; her land lost and her people vanquished . she was a myth . a legend .

❝ no , no , you're right . ❞ boothill hummed , giving a small knock to the upper part of his chest lightly , the small clink of metal on metal echoing in the space between then . ❝ the type of metal they used to remake my body doesn't hold heat for long , better not to overheat in the middle of a job , y'know ? ❞ he cannot help the lingering amusement in his tone as he brushed away any assumed insult . if there was anything he was acutely aware of it was how chilled the metal of his body could be ━ especially in comparision to her own warmth . at robin's question his head cocked to the side , almost in thought though his gaze remained trained on her .
she was ethereal , even in the dim lighting of the room they'd taken shelter in for the night , though boothill hardly thought that she'd ever be a sight he'd soon forget , no matter the setting . lips part to answer her question only to be captured by his songbird's own ━ a suprising show of boldness on her part but not an unwelcome one by any means . his hand that doubled as another firearm came to rest gently at her waist , the other snaking it's way find it's anchor at the back of her neck , though any hold to keep her close was loose at best .
if there was a pace to be set , he left it in robin's hands .
