THOUGH HER LIPS WERE TO BE LIKE ROSES he is only sorely reminded of ichor , of carnage and of death ( blood was never beautiful , never serene . it was just red ) . she reminded him of a nightsister , skin as pale as fallen snow , cruelty lying beneath an unmistakable beauty , needle teeth tearing through flesh and bone ( and in most ARACHNID species the female ate the male whole ) . but nightsister she was was not , modesty and curiosity drawing her far from the witches — perhaps she was more like the queen of naboo , painted to resemble a doll , the strings of the SENATE ( the senate ! ) holding her up and patting her on the back .
he sneered , disgust flashing in eyes — those were the WEAK ones , the ones who were unable to decide ( like he , he mused , he who was kept on a leash , unable to advance to places where he would be unruly , out of bounds ) . what a terrible thing , a burden like that . he hated it and as such he hated HER , this human doll , this beauty , this human which lips were covered in just red .
❛❛ are you not needed somewhere ? ❜❜ he questioned with lips peeled back , eyes covered ‘til they squinted , spittle but a mere movement away from dripping from tongue , ❛❛ somewhere that is far from here . ❜❜ needed somewhere that is not amongst the THORNS ?
