[emotional warfare @spilledbot]

there is a period when it is clear that you have gone wrong, but you continue. sometimes there is a luxurious amount of time before anything bad happens.

portia paused as she rubbed ingrid’s shoulders, letting out a soft hum. “well… if i’m being honest?”

the redhead moved her over to sit down. “apparently, there are some ladies of the ton who are… like us…” she explained, wiggling her eyebrows.

ingrid returned the kiss, prolonging it for several long seconds.

❛ don't worry, no one will enter here without my permission. ❜

the blonde's delicate fingers brushed portia's cheek.

❛ and what do you mean by "others"? ❜

“yes, i understand your worry.” portia said as she leaned against her and closed her eyes, letting out a content hum.

“there are others like us apparently so we must be discreet.” she took a look around before stealing a kiss from her.

❛ i hope this new lady doesn't snoop around to the point of finding out about. . . you know. ❜

ingrid approached the redhead and wrapped her arm around her waist.

[𝑳𝑨𝑫𝒀 𝑭𝑬𝑨𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑻𝑶𝑵. @cunningcitrus]

my love..?

[𝑳𝑨𝑫𝒀 𝑭𝑬𝑨𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑻𝑶𝑵. @cunningcitrus]

she has such a headache.

[𝑳𝑨𝑫𝒀 𝑭𝑬𝑨𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑻𝑶𝑵. @cunningcitrus]

@d0wagerqueen — she was making sure their conversation couldn’t be heard by anyone else.

“i just came to apologize and hope we part amicably. i don’t wish to cause anymore harm and trouble for you or anyone you’re seeing.”

[𝑳𝑨𝑫𝒀 𝑭𝑬𝑨𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑻𝑶𝑵. @cunningcitrus]

she is arriving to see @d0wagerqueen despite their last argument. walking in, she bowed and stayed in position until she was told otherwise.

“i’m sorry.” she said as she looked up at her, releasing a deep breath.

[𝑳𝑨𝑫𝒀 𝑭𝑬𝑨𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑻𝑶𝑵. @cunningcitrus]

@d0wagerqueen portia could never say the right thing around ingrid. it was always thinly veiled threats of she overstepped. how was that love?

“i’m sorry.” she bowed as she looked down, fidgeting with her hands. “you deserve better than me. we both know that.” —

[𝑳𝑨𝑫𝒀 𝑭𝑬𝑨𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑻𝑶𝑵. @cunningcitrus]

@d0wagerqueen — “i’ve.. heard that are enjoying the company of some young ladies and i just wanted to let you know that i’m happy for you.”

she could never divulge in such pleasures because she only had eyes for her. in fact, she was just punishing herself for being such a coward.

[𝑳𝑨𝑫𝒀 𝑭𝑬𝑨𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑻𝑶𝑵. @cunningcitrus]

@d0wagerqueen portia cleared her throat before she decided to stand up straighter. “do you really think i think so highly of myself these days?”

the featherington matriarch was wondering what was the point in coming if she was going to be insulted. yet again. —
