Send me ⚠ to find my muse at the end of a trail of blood.
Vesper had lived long enough to know how dangerous the life of a de Rolo was. Herself and her siblings of course, but even going back to the earliest settlers of Whitestone, where there was always a de Rolo present... their family had always met trouble of some sort or another.
Percy's children were no different. They were de Rolo's after all. Their parents had met adventuring, why would they find the life of a diplomat to meet fulfillment.
But seeing the children harmed was never easy. It was a vision, vague enough that she didn't know when or where, a day ago that had put her on edge. A trail of blood.
Vesper had the familiar feeling in her stomach, the dread of a more terrible vision coming to fruition. She hadn't yet gone to bed, though now it was near morning. She walked the halls of her ancestral home until she was lead towards the kitchens. A guard meeting her their, long past looking surprised to see Vesper show up before they summoned her.
"Show me. Then fetch a healer."
"Already done, ma'am." The guard, Peter, moved into the kitchen to lead her to her nephew.
"Come in through the back not to upset your parents?" Vesper couldn't help but sound a little annoyed, but mostly worried. Her tone, however, was almost always gentle towards her brother's children.
"My darling boy," Vesper shook her head, kneeling to his side, then with a simple movement and a muttered word, she cast Life Transference, wounding herself to at least staunch the bleeding in her nephew. She gave a small grunt, surprising herself with the pain it inflicted, but smiled and touched Danny's face. "What trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?"
