||{Lucina & Kovac}

pillar-of-chains

Lucina remained silent as she stood with her parents, holding their hands tightly as she saw the other family approaching. A small smile flickered across her face as she saw the child with them, and she shifted slightly. There were often people that came to see her parents, but this was one of the few times that there was a child with them.

Of course, she knew why they were there: The child that was with the other family was meant to marry her someday, so it only made sense that they met when they were young. Lucina had been a little bit suspicious of it at first, but upon seeing the other child, she supposed that she could give it a shot.

"H-Hello." She mumbled, shifting back and forth as the other family approached.

Oh also ♥ Proud/TheRacistSlaverR00dBadmanguy

dat writing. Srsly. great characterization, descriptions, all that.

Holy crap that mood whiplash between Panne and Kovac.

This lady knows how to really make you love-hate an antagonist.

Also super awesome woman who, from what I know, is incredibly kind-hearted

I wish I had that much dedication to writing long threads oh goodness :D I need to do more of those. She’s always amazing with her threads.

☼ [I'M SORRY I SEND YOU TO MANY OF THESE]

10. … to yours pinning my muse against a wall

To say that Gaius was surprised when Kovac, suddenly and roughly, threw him against the wall, pinning him against the hard surface, would be, well. a surprise on its own.

After the time he’d spent with the other man, he’d learned to expect the unexpected and this was hardly any different.

That didn’t mean that he was able to stop the way his breath hitched as his head hit the wall with a painful 'thud' that made him wince and squeeze his eyes shut in reflex, or the way his body instinctively tensed, fingers curling inwards and nails digging into his palms in a faint reminder to himself to not fight back. It would do him no good. Kovac was bigger, faster and stronger than he was and he’d learned what the other man could be capable of the first time they’d met, after all.

Gaius slowly opened his eyes, gaze already set in a defiant and cold glare - though it faltered the moment it met the captain’s own eyes, far too close and far too heated and it made the redhead twitch, almost jerking backwards in discomfort. The wall against his back and the body pressed against his own - intimidating, large and warm - prevented him from moving, though, and he swallowed, thickly, the intent in those golden eyes making a flush spread across the thief’s face before he could even try to stop it.

Gods damn it.

"S-so—" He cleared his throat, hating how shaky it sounded, lips stretching into a stubborn frown and hazel green eyes narrowing into another glare. “—are you going to just stare at me all day or are you going to let me go? I’ve got better things to do.”

     A light sigh left the canine's mouth, as the worn pads that covered his paws scrapped against the pavement. Beating down their support until there must have been nothing left with his seemingly constant pacing, yet it didn't seem to distract him from his thoughts. Nor did the eyes of the soldiers watching him, even as their concerned mutters about how well a beast would be able to aid them with their work sounded against his ears. But, the Maiden herself had sent him, was the comment that appeared to end their conversation on the subject.

       A loud cough grabbed the attention of his sensitive ears, as he turned quickly to locate its source. Ears flatting against his head, as his gaze met that of the captain's. He didn't much care for the job that had been asked of him, as he feared he wouldn't be of much use to the soldiers, but he was not one to disobey a command from the woman that he owed his brothers lives to. But stocking a ship was hardly something he felt he could do much with.

        The man waved his hand, moving towards the docked ship, and the boxes scattered about on the ground before it. The motion all Sakhr needed to know that the crew needed his aid, slinking after the man, as the other motioned for him to push one of the carts to the loading station; too heavy for any of the men to push themselves. His massive body moving to stand beside the bland object, sniffing at it to determine what was inside before carefully taking the ropes wrapped tightly around the box within his jaw. Giving it a tug to ensure that he wouldn't slice them open with his sharp fangs before yanking it across the ground to bring it to its destination.

       A sigh breath of relief exhaled from the beast. It appeared that his ailing body hadn't made his strength falter just yet. His attention shifting back to the men, waiting for their next order. He must have looked like nothing more than an incredibly massive dog, but such was not an insult to the pride he lacked as a whole. Such errands were commonly asked of him, and the other wolf in the woman's service, but these favors ensured his brothers could have a roof over their heads. And that was all he really cared about. After all, what was the point of having pride when one was so close to their grave?

Change for the Worse || pillar-of-chains

"Mummy!"

She wasn't waking up. He was scared. So very, very scared. Natne frantically shook his mother's arm with all the strength he could muster, a task rather daunting for a three-year old. She was bleeding like he did when he tripped on the tree root playing... but it was like seven tree roots worth of it. She wouldn't look at him, no many how many times he screamed for her.

Sobbing and choking on the smoke of the burning sanctuary, Natne realized this was doing nothing. "Daddy!" he screamed instead, stumbling away from his mother to try to find his father. He had run off somewhere with his glow rock, but the young taguel couldn't bear the sight of his mother like that. Perhaps luckily for him, his father raced back into their residence before the toddler could leave.

His next scream for help was cut off as the large taguel snatched up son and unresponsive wife in opposite arms, racing further into the hole. "Natne, I need you to listen to me!" he ordered as the bedroom was breached. "You stay here with Mummy, and you stay silent, can you do that? It's just like hide and seek, just like we play in the woods. It'll be fun!"

"B-But Mum--" he tried to strangle out through tears and choking.

"Mummy's just sleeping!" his father assured, stroking his head and ripping away the carpet they slept on. Powerful, clawed legs tore up the earth beneath it, shoving it against the walls and creating a large hole. "As soon as the game's over, Daddy will come back, kiss her, and wake her up like in the stories, alright Natne? But first you have to hide with her and be quiet."

The youth didn't like this game as much as he had before, but gave a teary nod of understanding. Just as he did, his father pushed him into the hole, his mother following after a quick embrace. "Hide under Mummy," he instructed. "I'll be back, I promise, Natne, I promise."

The carpet was shoved over the two, straightened, and Natne could only just make out the thumps of his father's retreat. Now, all he could do was wait and try not to sob too loudly.

//- Y'know thinking about it even if Kovac did capture Seyua he'd never really be safe. Even if she appeared to become docile and to go along with his whims, even if the constant attempts to break free ceased... well, it is like owning a pet tiger. You never quite know when the creature will decide your head looks better with several fang puncture wounds.

Let down his guard for even just a moment too long and even without her dragonstone he'd regret it. Even if it were decades later thanks to their long lifespans. Oh she'd bide her time and make it worthwhile.
