"sorry, pigeon.. stolas is occupied at the moment." A nod of her head to the window on the opposite side of the hall, a displeased look on her face. you'd think that, for someone who's getting divorced from her cheating husband, Stella would be quite livid at seeing Blitz tumbling his way back into her former abode.. "you won't go out there, if you value what little dignity you have left."

he follows her gaze down the hall only to be met with the unwelcomed sight of stolas talking β no, flirting? β with what looked to be another goetia. whatever the other avian had said had stolas laughing, his smile genuine and containing nothing but pure joy. he couldn't remember the last time he had stolas laughing in that same manner. his hands could only ball into fists, nails digging into his skin. the pain keeping him grounded as he restrained the urge to walk up to them and interrupt their conversation.
it was stella's next statement that had him turning his attention back to her. she's right. if he held any value for his last shred of dignity, he would turn around and leave. going up to stolas right now would only make him look even more like an asshole after everything. he lowers his gaze to the ground, focusing on the patterned marble flooring as he contemplated his options.
β don't... don't tell him i was here. β
