‘ i know what i want, and i’m going to get it, ’ @spenried.
A DINNER ROUTINE : morticia is feral with youth and slamming plates upon the table, a quick - step dance of movement, homemaker eternal quaking with rage ( the dining room is absent except for them, despite what morticia’s furious movements might imply : the parlour is rammed full with prying eyes ). she stutters when she sees him, a sudden vibration of the body. ONE MOMENT, SHE IS MUTTERING AGONY -- in the next, she is holding a plate to her chest, staring him down with black - smudged eyes. ‘ excuse me, ’ she breathes, eyes scanning the room in a quick huff, as if she was searching for other intruders. ‘ you should never sneak up on a woman. that’s how my great uncle lost his head the first time. ’ @spenried
@spenried said “when were you going to tell me ?” !
when does she tell anyone anything? what a complicated mix she is - an open book written in a dead language - exposed to universe and yet hard to put into words for even sharpest of eyes. all that she is, all she allows others to perceive, are things of her own making. it is not the brilliance of suns that clings to the way peach lips curve, chair creaking in low song when weight is shifted beneath her, but that of the stardust ( the centuries worth of loss that have donated atoms to her creation ) maeve is made of. over phone laugh is breathed out, carried through the miles between them.

@spenried: [ HELP ] ― your muse helps my muse up.
this was not usual for her. she can tell it’s getting close to time for pick-up games, even though it’s still technically free skate hours. she knows how to get up on her own, really; it’s more the shock of being hip-checked by a teenage boy that keeps her butt on the ice longer than a second. blue eyes glare holes into the hockey skates holding aforementioned obnoxious teenager. then she notices the hand, & giuliana rises to her feet, scowl still on her face. “fucking hockey players. um -- thanks. sorry, i don’t usually.” a sigh. “that is the worst kind of person.”

@spenried: ❛ oh, look, i think i can move on my own now. ❜
giuliana may not say it, but she doesn’t quite believe him. she’s been skating backwards, more or less trying to guide him into not accidentally killing himself on the ice. eyebrows pinch together, but she reluctantly lets her hands release. “okay ... if you say so, then -- just. knees bent, look ahead -- & don’t lift your feet any more than you have to. that’s the easiest way to fall.” she’s still hovering.
meme.

HAS THE EARTH STOPPED ? ? or was that her heart ? ? for the words that had been spoken out of her own mouth have somehow returned to find the inside of her EARS , , ❝ really ? ? ❞ watch as eyes BLINK AWAY confusion and see the WEIGHT of her emotions slam downwards ( shuttering ) and crumbling into a pile of guilt , , ❝ no one has told me that before ❞ she allowed an honesty to leave her for the doctor could manage a “im okay really” or “ don't worry ill be fine ! ” for she knows he knows she would be LYING , , so hear odd honest words to leave her in a fashion that would suggest it was easier to admit than accept , , ❝ i - are you sure ? ? ❞

is he arrogant or just certain? her radar seems warped and bent under the pressure of many years, that and her lack of interaction with anyone other than her best friends has added to the fact that she cant decipher where he stands. he doesn’t blink too much it seems, maybe he’s trying to assure her he isn’t lying but again she can’t be too sure. teeth chew on the inside of her cheek as she keeps eye contact with special agent reid. he, out of the masses that gathered to inspect the murderers daughter, seemed to be the least hostile. for now.
“ you can fight it all you want, doesn’t change the inevitable. “
“ not many a places you can hide me he won’t look. he’ll go through all of you to do it, he won’t care. he’s like a damn dog, a mangy rabies filled dog that’s starving for one particular cut of meat. me. “
her words settle on the steel table top and she returns to her silence, resolving to rest easily in the cold metal chair and let the icy sensation seep into her skin. it felt easier to be numb, cold than to let the fear or anger well under her skin to turn her pinker than a rose and her eyes a vibrant green. she need not say too much anyway, they already knew everything right? like how under her house was five bodies, and under the gas station? she’d forgotten by now. he’d been doing this for years, long before she was born and long before he killed her mother.
she could give her daddy that, at least he was consistent.
