the king is giving a festival !
i wish the walls were full of gold , i wish a lot of things .
sometimes i wonder what’s going on in that head of yours .
what are you doing ? stop your pretending .
are you certain of your way ?
the way is clear , the light is good .
the woods are just trees , the trees are just wood .
are you really wearing that ?
it’s not what i wish , it’s what you wish .
i could’ve turned him into stone . or a dog . or a chair .
a small price to pay for what you stole from me .
well , that’s another story . nevermind , anyway .
sorry , i’m still not mollified .
how could you do that ?
your father was no father , so why should you be ?
we’re starving , [ name ] ! don’t you understand that ?
we have to live , i don’t care how .
look what i found . here , take this .
no , i can do this on my own .
it may be all in vain , you know .
i have no fear , nor no one should .
careful not to lose the way .
what’s your rush ? you’re missing all the flowers .
look what you’re ignoring .
why do you think i asked you to do it in the first place ?
get me what i need … get me what i need !
you’d look pretty foolish .
i’d rather a wolf than you any day !
you shouldn’t be here , it’s not safe in these woods .
i was just trying to help .
we have one chance . don’t you see that ?
i’m not sure i’m cut out to be a father .
if you can’t do this for yourself , can’t you at least do it for me ?
don’t you look lovely today , my dear ?
i brought your favorite .
i can’t believe i just did that .
wait a minute , i never thanked you .
i’m sorry . i should’ve known better .
i had been so careful , i never had cared .
he made me feel excited , well … excited and scared .
they will not protect you the way they should .
nice is different than good .
isn’t it nice to know a lot … and a little bit not ?
oh , get your head out of the clouds !
i just need to catch my breath .
aren’t you the lucky one ?
please don’t let them know that i’m here .
i’ve never lied to royalty before .
it’s not quite what i expected .
you’re free to do whatever pleases you .
steal what you can and run !
you’re back again , only different than before .
i never even reached home .
who cares ? get it back .
get away from me with that , you fool .
i shouldn’t have yelled .
i will make things right , and we can carry on with our lives .
will you go ? please . go .
when the one thing you want … is the only thing out of your reach .
the woods can be a dangerous place .
i thought you were returning home !
do you mean you’re going to let me stay with you ?
perhaps it will take two of us to have this child .
i thought one was enough , it’s not true . it takes two of us .
when the journey was tough , it took two of us .
at home i’d fear we’d stay the same forever .
what did i clearly say ? what were you not to do ?
what have i been to you ? what would you have me be ?
i embarrass you . you are ashamed of me .
don’t you know what’s out there in the world ?
someone has to shield you from the world . stay with me .
who out there could love you more than i ?
the world is dark and wild .
stay a child while you can be a child .
i gave you protection , and yet you disobeyed me .
where you’re going , no one will ever see you again .
whichever you pick , do it quick .
it’s fun to deceive when you know you can leave , but you have to be wary .
at home , they don’t care . i’m better off there , where there’s nothing to choose so there’s nothing to lose .
wait , please ! i haven’t much time .
that makes no sense !
what is that you have in your hand ?!
i would recognize these beautiful eyes anywhere .
is that you ? i’m blind , i can’t see .
you could’ve been killed !
i was just thinking of the greater good .
i don’t have the constitution .
as long as i can be no help , i’m going to hide .
i don’t know where they think they’re going .
this is who i truly am , my dear .
why did you run off ?
i will not come with you .
you leave me no choice .
i shouldn’t complain .
i’m not allowed to leave the palace unescorted .
if you’d like , you can come with me .
i shall not forget you , and how alive you’ve made me feel .
you’re hurting me !
stop , stop ! i said stop !
this is all my fault .
remorse will get you nowhere .
when you’re dead , you’re dead !
this is no time to be soft - hearted !
you’re responsible , you’re the one to blame . it’s your fault !
you’re all liars and thieves .
you’ll just do what you do .
it doesn’t matter if we’re together or apart .
i’m sorry , i did a foolish thing .
i didn’t realize , i was being careless . selfish .
you stole and got caught and did what you do !
i hated myself . i ran away from my guilt and shame .
aren’t you making the same mistake ?
be better than me .
i knew you wouldn’t give up .
that doesn’t matter , now .
first , we’ll need a weapon .
i did not recognize you , what are you doing here ?
maybe i’m not your only love .
if you love me , why did you stray ?
i thought that if you were mine , i would never wish for more .
i was raised to be charming , not sincere .
i think you should go .
i’m glad you’re here to help me .
you are not alone . no one is alone .
you’ll do nothing of the kind .
what he did was wrong . he should be punished .
it’s not as easy as that .
who can say what’s true ?
believe me , no one is alone .
people make mistakes . fathers , mothers , people make mistakes .
you decide what’s right . you decide what’s good .
just remember , someone is on your side . someone else is not .
i miss her , too .
how can i go about being a father when i had no father to show me ?
sometimes people leave you … do not let it grieve you , no one leaves for good .
things will be alright now .

shedivine:
golden eyes have narrowed and have not hidden the direction of their gaze. scars marring the woman’s back and sides , and none look accidently placed. it is her noble upbringing and decorum that stops alcina from voicing any questions on the matter. only a fool would run out in such weather , and lillian does not look the fool. eyes soon stray from their perch and keep themselves level with the rim of the tub , direct but unfocused.
no sense in keeping such secrets , alcina will not be letting this one go any time soon and the sharing of such knowledge will not endanger those she protects. ❛ there is a number of staff to care for the castle , though they are all currently safe in their beds. ❜ though they are far from ideal company , alcina preferring they stay out of sight and not underfoot. her face then softens slightly , a fondness she cannot hide. ❛ —— and my three daughters. ❜
three daughters who will be quite incensed to learn their mother took in prey they did not , especially when lillian is quickly becoming off limits to the mother and daughter’s need for blood.
She might feel ashamed, or a little embarrassed, if she was aware of how clear her scars were to the woman, but as it is she’s too focused on lathering her skin with soap too notice. She takes a little longer than she might usually, allowing herself to indulge in the welcoming heat and the soothing smells of the bath oils, sighing in relief as the aches plaguing her seem to lessen.
The mention of daughters does make her look up, just in time to catch the way Alcina’s face softens. Alcina might be a complete stranger to her, but it’s easy to see the fondness in her eyes as she mentions her daughters, and the sight of it causes Lillian’s lips to curve in a small smile. ‘I look forward to meeting them’.
It’s a safe assumption that she will, she thinks, if she’s the only guest the castle has had in some time. She rinses off the last of the soap, pulling herself to the edge of the bath, and murmurs, ‘would you mind passing me a towel?’
