I love you, little brother.
words spoken so lightly with the intend to pierce a heavy heart ; he grieves, not over the death of their brotherhood in this given moment, but over the sensation of loss he feels as the value of every memory in their childhood disintegrates. in youth, they had been happy. long before corruption and the pressuring emphasis regarding titles and inheritance had overwhelmed the strength of their bond, these words would have meant something to him. they would have been without any alternative, without any ulterior motives involved.
it reminds him of their father, and the rare moments he took notice of his existence so long as there was a purpose behind it. he has LEARNED since. and after years of consistent disappointment when getting his hopes up, after absorbing every insulting and belittling blow placed on his name, never again will he allow himself to willingly fall for this facade.
❛ —— yes i suppose you do, only when it is convenient for you, brother. ❜

As he shifted his weight so he was more COMFORTABLY laying against Kallus’s chest, Zeb let out a tired groan. “No moving. Not yet.” he said simply, more out of laziness than demand. “M’not ready to get up.”
❛ i love you. ❜ she speaks flatly, addressing them both without glancing to either one ------- she cannot. as though she anticipates never seeing either one again ( it is not something she hopes for ; it is the state of matters. the truth. ) and so a heavy silence befalls the room. for she is vulnerable and these are dangerous words. there is a heave, a longing ache in her ribs. at last, she finishes ; ❛ so promise me. promise me that you will come back to me. --------- please. ❜

she’s been quiet for sometime now ; dark eyes glued to the view of reddish - orange hues painting the sky, the blemish of blues and violets creeping where the suns seemingly kiss the prairie flat lands out in the distance. unlike him she prefers sunsets ------- something about them have always felt safer as opposed to sunrises. it signified that another day treading the line of danger had safely ended. the worry was over. for now. it was enough for her to sleep soundly.
he approaches from behind. it was as if she had never even noticed his tardiness, no doubt a work - related delay. he’ll always kiss her and tell her to pay no mind ( A STUPID REMARK ; she is the minister. she is going to hear of it inevitably ) and she tries. she tries. but sometimes he is gone -- yanked from her arms night after night -- and gone for days, weeks. it drags. marcella vocalizes her worries now since she’s self aware, asking the whereabouts of papa and never satisfied with her mother’s facade of confidence that he’ll be back soon. that is a dangerous place to bet but has she ever been wrong ------- ? he’s come back.
( NOT ALWAYS UNHARMED THOUGH. )
❛ tiberius. ❜ she greets with wandering eyes towards the leg that has improperly healed ( this one will have consequences down the line ; this she is, unfortunately, certain of ) ---- ❛ i’m afraid. ❜

“There might have been, once.” It was a simple truth. He was not a man given to sentiment, nor one to speak words that would sooth the wounds caused by earlier ones. What had already been said was true enough to be a promise - one which he would never go back on. So he was not trying to mollify his son and lessen the tension between them. He was only answering a question so that the boy may feel a sense of shame that was well-deserved. “When you heeded my words and acted on my lessons. When you showed promise, and the potential to do great things for our family.” His gaze hardened as eyes narrowed even further. “Before you consorted with a lowly, scheming official. Before the promise of her bed prevented you from thinking of the consequences. But then you’ve always been one to blindly stumble into situations out of your depth, have you not? More and more I fail to see the supposed intelligence you’re believed to possess.”

oh, the woes of a feigned illness are nothing new to her per say -- she has dealt. she has suffered. she even waged on for the sake of her duties. -- but the dramatization of this present day might have caused unintentional chaos in the household ( one not of the ordinary in their case; now that is troublesome. ) and it came in the form of MARCELLA; sobbing and running to the door at first available opportunity, before any shrills of joy or acts of clinging onto her father’s legs, instead announcing her misled belief that her mother was dying.
not her fault, the poor thing. ( mothers simply do not get sick; they are without weakness and all-knowing creatures. ) and not his fault either, for nearly bolting down the door of their fresher under the assumption she’d collapsed. it’s fixable, it’s all fixable ... aside from THIS. she withheld the truth for so long, if only for the sake that everything was going HEAVENLY now. a marriage was on the brink. newfound trust had been established. they were, for the first time in the longest time or perhaps simply for the first time, a family. that was new but the happiness accompanying it was not; it was a feeling she had felt once before -- and then it was .... it ran into a complication.
their eldest had been unplanned, truthfully. and in another time, unwanted by her father. it was not a personal bias per say, it was directed towards ALL children. would he even react pleasantly ... ?
❛ i’m sorry she gave you a fright, tiberius. i’m fine -- truly. ❜
