@glyphtolde asked: "Sister, I wanted to play in the garden but now it's raining so heavily." ( young anya to olga! )

     “Ah well, that explains it.” The sound of her worn copy of Les Miserables flopped shut as she sat up straighter in her seat to look at the pair of bright forlorn blue eyes staring back at her. It was rare to find the youngest of the four girls in the library- she was forever running off with either Maria or Alexei when she wasn’t terrorizing the staff or putting on some sort of production. She never had the patience to sit still long enough or tolerate the peaceful quiet air of their library. A sigh followed as she shook her head, mentally repeating the page number she was last on before divulging her attention to the little imp of the family.

“ And what would you have me do about that, hm?” Was the teasing response with a shake of her head then lifting to look up to the rain splattered window. Heavy droplets continually slid down the pane and out of sight with the sound of light tap-tap-tapping. “I’m sure there’s some mending for you to work on, Nastasia. Unless you wanted me to read you a bit of something?”

       “then let it always be dark, and let me always have my lips against your skin,” persephone replied softly, her forehead pressed against her husband’s.

       “i’d never want that moment to end for you. i only hope to make you feel like the man i know you to be, my love.”

"You know, I was about to go complain to Mr. Neekis about the lighting in this wing, but lo and behold —— as soon as you walk in, you brighten up the whole place." ( from pierce )

it was good that elena had never been someone who took herself  too  seriously, or else, she would never be happy around the hospital’s more eccentric staff members. this was not supposed to mean that  every  single person working at the clinic was — for the lack of a better word —  strange,  but there was no denying that  many  were. and dr pierce was certainly a candidate for the title of the  most  eccentric staff member, but after years of eating lunch at the hospital with some of the doctors, she had learnt to handle it, just like she had gotten used to the odd nicknames some of the doctors went by. 

she slowly turned towards him, the corners of her mouth slowly being pulled into a lazy grin as she scrutinised him. ‘‘ bad lightning would probably be a case for your janitor, ’’ she responded happily, ‘‘ but still, you  might  want to talk to dr neekis — i sense that you may have caught an almost hopeless case of  flirt. ’’

" If you manage to add charges against sanchez for misconduct towards patients for that time he snatched my cup of expensive coffee while I was in the ER I'll give you free pizza for a month. " ( from clint )

elena hid her grin against the paper cup, leaving a faint lipstick mark. she never had a preference for bold colours, unlike the man she was talking to. in all the months their paths had crossed, she could not remember a single occasion when clint had not worn at least  something  that had been purple. it was simply something that belonged to him, just like the lingering smell of coffee that never seemed far, even if sometimes, it was drowned out by the smell of  hospital.  after all, this was where they tended to meet, was their common ground.

alright, they shared a … resentment against dr sanchez, too, but that was different. almost everyone who had ever had the misfortune of meeting sanchez had to dislike him. except for maybe his wife, though … elena was not one to gossip, but she had heard things.

‘‘ you know, you do make  very  good offers to hungry people, ’’ she said as she threw an almost casual glance towards the staff exit. it would not do if sanchez had even the faintest clue that she would probably sue him for a slice of pizza and definitely would for a  month  of good pizza. ‘‘ especially considering that if i asked dr hayden — or did dr lund treat you? — if she saw something, they would gladly be a witness in court. or one of the nurses. ’’

there was a problem she might have as soon as someone would decide to  seriously  approach her about suing sanchez: she would have no shortage of witnesses. technically, it should not be a problem, but she did wonder if someone who was unfamiliar with how sanchez treated those around them would believe that all the small instances of  awfulness  had really happened.

     IT  IS  NIGHTFALL .  around  them ,  the  garden  is  settling ,  crickets  chirp ,  as  animals  slumber ,  and  in  the  dark  her  eyes  shine .  she  is  beautiful ,  daughter  of  the  summer  harvest ,  with  aurburn  hair  coiled  around  her  head ,  and  a  shimmering  green  dress ,  bold  and  barefoot .  persephone  knows  what  he  means ,  she’s  no  fool ,  even  in  love .  his  pin  striped  suit  hides  only  secrets ,  it  does  little  to  keep  the  night  out .   there  is  darkness  within ,  he  smells  of  smoke  and  ash ,  stronger  than  any  pipe .  she  caught  him  peeking  at  her  from  behind  the  garden  wall ,  and  even  then  he  hadn’t  looked  away .  she  liked  the  way  he  looked  at  her ,  like  she  was  ripening  under  the  sun ,  like  he  wanted  to  hold  her  in  his  arms  and  devour  her  whole .  

          she  does  not  heed  his  warning  ,  wild  as  she  is .  a  new  world  beginning ,  and  they  gods ,  but for  now  they  are  just  a  man  and  woman ,  surrounded  by  lush  greenery ,  and  her  hands  are  on  him ,  running  up  his  chest ,  gripping  his  shoulders  ,  hard  enough  to  hurt ,   backing  him  into  the  stone  wall   .  voice ,  sweet  as  nectar ,  drips  from  bee  stung  lips  ,   “    don’t  pay  that  any  mind ,  lover .  you  worry  for  nothing .  “
