— the result you get when you piss off a dying mermaid and she drowns in the river styx, the irony is not lost on her. so she just 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙚 it.

"You're always on my mind—You might be what I need.

Actually."

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

"—Like I don't mind if you ruin my life."

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo She snorted and rolled her eyes playfully at his joke. “Yeah? That why you’re always so naturally drawn to calls of the sea and the ones who lull you towards it, I wonder.” Fianna teased somewhat, reaching out to wipe away at some whipped cream from his cheek.

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

One tired, haggard-looking young woman entered the personal quarters, groaning with every dragging step she took across the room. She made a noise in acknowledgment of @CruzadaDeDiablo’s presence, before promptly plopping onto their bed. “Mmf... tired and sore... hungry.”

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo “Comfort, really, it’s very easily that — I like the stability, the ability to buy, party, and get paid for being good at something.

So... since you’ve been so many things,” she started as she took a bite of the sundae. “What made you happiest? When were you happiest?”

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo She opened her mouth to let him feed her, and given the way her eyes lit up from just the first bite was enough to signal that she was in dessert heaven. “Mmf, you’re right about that but I’ve also always been very unhappy in my career choice. Not that I’m not good at it, but..”

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo Fianna draped a shawl about herself, slinking about her elbows. “I could. But hello, look at where I live?” She snickered, peering into her emptying glass. “In truth I wonder if I should throw in the towel with my whole life.”

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo She took a sip of her wine, nodding her head. “I studied fine art, as you know, wanted to pursue being a theatre singer and an art collector on the side... lavish, luxurious dreaming.

But as a kid? I just wanted to sing at like cats and birds.”

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo Given how she was /still/ munching on what was left of the bread? Glutton was an understatement.

“I wasn’t much of a kid, really,” she admitted, looking off to the water as she leaned back. “Didn’t have the opportunity to be one. I liked the arts. My family liked war.”

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo “Don’t be stingy with the fudge now,” she said with a great big grin as she watched the waiter walk away. “I always liked chocolate. Since I was a little kid. I’d have to earn it, though, so now I just... indulge. Maybe that explains me being greedy and glutton.”

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo “Ooh, maybe we can split one of those massive sundaes.” She cooed, nudging at his hand to get him to follow her gaze as she watched another couple indulge in one. “I’d never say no to anything chocolate.”

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo She doesn’t say anything else about it for now, and given how he reacted it wasn’t really something he wanted to dwell on. Instead she offered a smile and a nod. “That we do. What’re you craving, then? Something sweet?”

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo “It must be awfully lonely though,” she said out loud, looking off as she had meant to keep that in her thoughts. “Mm? I like spending time with you, too, Tulio.

I don’t want to leave you alone.”

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo “Yet sometimes I catch you in deep thought and wonder what’s on your mind,” she chuckled as she brushed some hair back behind an ear. “In all seriousness, though, age difference or ... well, mortality difference, it doesn’t bother me.

In the end, I got to know you, right?”

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo She hummed in thought as he asked this in return, Fianna seeming to be mulling over this deeply for awhile. “The age difference? Nah, I think there’s statute of limitations for that one,” she started light-heartedly before she replied earnestly. “Sometimes. Not always.”

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo She was devouring her food as he was deep in thought, and didn't mind helping herself to some of his dish, too. This time, Fianna didn't speak with her mouth full when she replied. "I guess even immortals get scared, huh?" And there was the difference. Mortal and immortal.

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo She looked to the water and swirled at her drink as she mulled over his words for a moment, humming softly in thought.

“So, what’s it going to take for you to really be honest with me? Not that I doubt that you’re content with me, or anything.” It went a bit beyond that.

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo Seeing that he was a bit serious, she quietened a bit. “You know... we’re both not the best at expressing ourselves, or at least I’m not, but comparing then and now... how’re you feeling, Tulio? Like /really/?”

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo While a picture of class and elegance, in a sort of classic beauty sort of way, it was evident her behaviour was anything but. "You're charming, you know this. Even when I found you in your depressed, drunken state. Not that I was any better, huh?"

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo — in Spain."

[𝙁𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖． @shallowedbreath]

@CruzadaDeDiablo "I'm not beautiful," she said with a mouthful of food, ergo making it a tad distorted. Clearing her throat after, she took a sip of her own wine before attempting to speak again. "My, my, the evening air really brings out the romantic side of you, huh? Just like that night —
