@estrla said: “ i don’t have the patience. ” - ☽ song lyrics - accepting !!

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE hard won, rare in these parts but cultivated by few for very specific reasons, as a means to a cunning end. the goetia are an ancient brand of aristocracy built on warped versions of such virtues: the patience of a cold-blooded, century-long revenge; the burden of immortal life; the slow machinations of a well-hatched plot; the long wait to ascend to a higher rank and status among them ... to name a few.

it is what he exercises when he's in her thorny presence, in the business arrangement that is their marriage.

when he levels his gaze at her, any conflicted feelings he has are neutralised by such distant reflections. he sets his empty teacup on the saucer with a clink, as if to punctuate his words.

"oh but you do, my dear."

cursed with a rather short fuse, for as long as he'd known her stella has always been that way - like her namesake celestial body, she is as cold and beautiful from a distance as she is scorching at close range. but in time, as they grew reluctantly together into the intricate tapestry of goetic rules and regulations, and bloomed into the darling couple, envy of all high aristocracy, they have learned their place in navigating those complex rituals. it seems to him that save the occasional outburst and positively bristling aura, even stella has mostly learnt to temper her fiery disposition into sharp wit, cutting remarks, astute manoeuvres and vicious sarcasm - it is truly a wonder what a simple mask can do to a face.

don't they just make a dashing family portrait?

from what the owl prince knows of his wife, she has far more patience keeping her from the ghastly beast roiling in her breast than she lets on, though on occasion it rears its ugly head. he supposes he has it coming, being the main source of her resentment.

"I'm confident we're not far off from an egg. we just need to keep trying."

certainly not a good premise for a conception, but it's what they agreed on to carry out their main duty to the goetia, after all.

@k7tt1 : ❛ Oh, don't be cute. ❜ / from @estrla for Via!

"I thought that was my job as a Goetian princess." The muttered remark is barely audible over the noise in the palace, but she doesn't doubt for a moment that her mother caught it. So far, she's fucked up by a) not dressing to standard, b) spending more time on her phone than mingling with her parents party guests c) asking to be excused when she didn't want to spend another two hours pretending to be interested in climbing social ladders, or whatever this party was for.

There was a time when she attended these functions as the spitting image of all that her family wanted her to be : dressed to perfection, all smiles and pleasantries. Back when she thought it mattered. Back when she thought how she behaved would have some impact.

She's over it. Past over it.

"Mum, can I please just go back to my room? Nobody here even knows me."

@k7tt1 : ❛ i don't have time for distractions right now. ❜ / from @estrla for Via!

The drawing clutched between careful talons wrinkles slightly at the edges, the little girl hugging it against her chest instinctively, as though to protect it. She knows better than to tug on her mother's skirts, of course, but... but she'd wanted to show her what she'd painted for her! The nanny had assured her that she would like the gift. Had she lied...?

"But... it's for you, mama..." Trepidation slips into her words, a shake that so often precedes tears. But she wasn't going to cry! She was a big girl, wasn't she? Too big to be crying! The paper crumples more. "...okay... I can show you later..."

❛ you’re the one who told me i should blow off steam . ❜ (Octavia @thethiefsden)

Her gaze is a blade, and her blink is the guillotine that drops down for execution; ❛❛ Properly and in the vicinity of your own room, ❜❜ A respectable lady doesn’t scream or hiss [ NOT UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES… OTHER TIMES, HOWEVER- ] & truthfully, though the matriarch has little patience for… nearly everything, her daughter is rather an exception.

Not that Octavia would understand or see that; Stella was her age once, and she’s very much aware of the ways of teenage rebellion,

Besides, best to remain as in control as possible in front of the offspring [ SHE REFUSES TO ALLOW HER DAUGHTER TO SEE HER LOSE HER CALM DEMEANOR; WHAT KIND OF EXAMPLE DOES SHE WANT TO SET? ] ❛❛ Not at the dinner table, Octavia; turn that blasted music down and stop playing with your food. It’s improper… ❜❜ She could listen to her silly sounds all she wants in her room; but Stella can hear the blasted thing from across the table.

Waving away their imp butler in dismissal, she makes it a point to look at her daughter in the eyes, ❛❛ Don’t make me ask a second time, Octavia. You know how I get when I’m cross. ❜❜
