☔: my muses reaction to opening their front door and seeing yours drenched in rain
As soon as the storm kicked up, Emma had been fretting about Narcissa’s arrival. It was an easy walk in most circumstances, though tonight the nightfall had brought with it a nasty storm. She heard a knock on the door and rushed over, finding her lover absolutely drenched. “Oh, Narcissa,” she said, ushering the woman in with a sense of urgency. “Let’s get you out of those clothes, hm?” she said, taking her hand and pulling her towards the bedroom.
✿: my muse’s reaction to leaving a cut on your muse’s body
Emma honestly hadn’t noticed her grip had become so tight, tucked away in the closet as the maid came around to clean Narcissa’s room. How they both had forgotten today was cleaning day was beyond Emma, but once they stepped back into the room, she saw the blood on the woman’s hands, cuts from where her nails dug far too deep into skin. “Oh, darling, I’m so sorry,” she whispered, sure the maid was still somewhere close. “We should get that wrapped up, shouldn’t we?” she asked, gently pulling the woman’s hand up to her lips to press a gentle kiss into the back of it. “I’m sorry,” she murmured again, hating the very idea that she had caused even a little pain for the woman.
☕: my muse comforting yours after the death of a loved one
Perhaps it was suspicious, for Emma to show up at the Black household so soon after Andromeda’s death. When she received the call from Narcissa, however, she couldn’t imagine leaving the woman alone for much longer. She didn’t know how long she’d been there, curled up in Narcissa’s bed with the woman’s head resting on her own chest. She’d stay there for days if her presence helped the woman even a small amount. A hand gently ran up and down her lover’s back, though she was truly at a loss for words. She knew nothing she could say would make it hurt any less, so she hoped being a shoulder to cry on was something. The loss hadn’t sunk in yet, not for Emma. She knew they were involved in something dangerous, something larger than just themselves. She just never thought sweet, sweet Andi would be taken from them so soon.
