@seraphicaee -- mouth.

“I think he was pretty surprised too. Serves him right for using his teeth to do all the talking.”

Pausing to drink a little more, wincing as I swallowed.

“But I won't be teaching that kind of lesson ever again. It's not worth it.”

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

[Pops my head through the kitchen doorway, no @seraphicaee or pancakes.]

Guess I could try making them myself...

[Won't be held accountable for the mess.]

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@seraphicaee -- jug down carefully, I moved to pull off my sweater, now feeling uncomfortably warm to go alongside all the other delightful symptoms I was experiencing.

This time when I choked on the water it was due to a brother's words. A small smile lifting the corner of my own --

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@seraphicaee -- while Julian was busy searching for a movie for us. Unable to make small talk since my energy was being spent concealing the discomfort I was in.

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@seraphicaee -- when I wanted this to be over with as soon as possible.

Believing that I was starting to cover the pain quite well, no sense in worrying a brother more than I already had.

Situating myself on the floor, leaning back up against the bed, I took further sips from the jug --

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@ShadowedCanvas -- of the safest routes to actually take."

Julian just proved why I had been right to sideline him, he was thinking as he would back in his world, he needed to learn to see things from a different perspective before I considered letting him join any fights.

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@ShadowedCanvas Eyes held Julian's gaze, the wisdom of his words causing the appearance of a brief smile. People here truly could use someone like Julian, in truth, so could I. Yet I would never bring voice to such.

"They are free to find all the joy and happiness they wish, I want nothing --

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@ShadowedCanvas Nodding in full agreement, we weren't traveling along the best route, only problem being, there were no safe routes here.

"Exactly why we're going this way. The majority will assume no one would be stupid enough to travel this road with so many blind spots, making this one --

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@seraphicaee -- the mental capacity to remember the titles of movies or shows.

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@seraphicaee -- to take a breath.

Now attempting to hide, just how awful it made me feel, I wiped the back of my hand against my mouth, desperately trying to fight back the cough that threatened to rattle my chest and throat.

"I like the sound of that, you pick."

Uncertain that I had --

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@seraphicaee Brows furrowed as I watched Julian refill the glass again, feeling like this was only going to get worse before it got better. Though I kept that thought, like many others to myself.

I only had myself to blame, it was my carelessness and refusal to listen which had landed me --

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@seraphicaee -- the glass back to my lips and didn't stop drinking this time until the glass was empty.

The coughing hit again, except this time I managed to swallow the water down first.

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@seraphicaee -- and freezing at the exact same time."

Failing to mention that it felt like I was being torn apart from the inside out, not wishing to cause even more worry, while also knowing that I didn't have a choice but to answer.

Taking a deep breath, preparing myself, I brought --

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@ShadowedCanvas -- was willing to say. We didn't have time for a back and forth. I couldn't promise I wouldn't act the same way should we experience another ambush.

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@ShadowedCanvas -- Julian and I wasn't his Livia, I couldn't be that for him, not after everything. The girl I had once been had died the moment she was forced to watch her siblings fall. What was left of me now was more soldier than anything else.

"Apology accepted."

That was it, all I --

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@seraphicaee -- holy water touched my tongue I experienced a negative reaction. Spitting the water straight back out as a coughing fit took hold.

This was going to be a lot harder than I thought. Regaining control of my air way, I stole myself ready to try again.

[Livia Blackthorn @IntrepidHijinks]

@seraphicaee -- now knew what the jugs were for.

Reaching out for the glass, I offered Julian a weak smile.

"It doesn't sound all that bad. Bottoms up."

I raised the glass to my lips and took a sip, anticipating the whole ordeal to be more tedious than anything else. Yet the moment the --
