Xaden: How well do you know Violet?
Rhiannon: I say this to everyone who asks: Forget walking a mile in someone else's shoes. Try running across Parapet in someone else's boot. So yes. I know her damn well.
This IS The Final Piece For Now
Madonna and Child with two Angels
Artist: Vittore Crivelli (Italian, active by 1465–died 1501/2)
Date: ca. 1481–1482
Medium: Tempera and gold on wood
Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, United States
Description
This charming Madonna and Child employs some of the same pictorial devices used by Vittore's brother Carlo, building up the gold to create three-dimensional embellishments. The parapet is inscribed with Vittore's name and on it are placed a carnation (emblem of love), cherries (like the apple, symbol of original sin), and a devotional book. The Child holds a goldfinch, symbolic of the Passion of Jesus.
Everyone’s always talking about how General Sorrengail once wrote that
“When I fall, it will be for one reason only: to protect our children.”
Which same but also I think about Violet once said about the rain,
“It’s my mother. It’s her way of imbuing her favorite weapon.”
And now it’s made me entirely rethink the rain showing up while Violet crosses the parapet.

Parapet from Xaden and Lilith’s POVs.

Xaden
What’s this? My inntinnsic abilities pick up on something fun. I’m the most exquisite man she’s ever seen, eh? Clearly she doesn’t know who I am, or she’d be properly terrified like everyone else. Still, it’s nice to be admired without any prejudice for a change.
“Ready for the next one, Riorson?” Well, fuck. Way to spoil my fun, Garr.
I mourn the loss of those delicious thoughts, turning from lust to shock and finally, fea—not fear, anger. Interesting. Who—?
“You ready for this, Sorrengail?”
My pulse leaps. She’s here. Gaze snapping up, our eyes lock, and…
I have to remind myself to breathe.
