mother. these ruins… you turned it into a home after you’d lost us. i will not take it from you.
i will, however, be taking things from my collections. your mother, too, no doubt will do the same.
。。。 i know. ﹝ of course he knows. it was a fear shared between the both of his parents: that their boy, a direct product of their love, would be subject to cruelty from either of their worlds. ﹞
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀…͟ i 𝒅𝒐𝒏’𝒕 and maybe that’s my issue . you do realize it is rather difficult for me to connect with anyone , yes .ᐣ to belong to 𝓃either world .
and you weren’t here .
mother wasn’t here .
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
you did what you had to, and hopefully, what you 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦��� to. i don’t fault you for the decisions you made——you’re clearly happy now, thriving, even.
﹝ show of his palm in surrender. ﹞ i’ve already talked to your
@TragicCasualty vessel that needs 𝘮𝘺 power to function as it once did. adrian has been using it as a mere manor——a base, stationary. we’ll start anew elsewhere and let him have this.
everyone wins.
@TragicCasualty we can go away... ﹝ he suggests. ﹞ the way we talked about. he can have the structure that is the castle as is. we’ll take what we need and fix ourselves something new.
after all, at the moment, it is merely an empty
@TragicCasualty he’s found his calling, and for that, i am proud despite him thinking otherwise. long have i given up in trying to change the minds of those too obstinate to see any other way but their own.
i don’t want to fight our
@TragicCasualty of his guests that have been using our residence in our absence, not him.
we don’t know these people, lisa. people who still very much hold things against me. and while i won’t blame them, i certainly won’t tolerate it.
@TragicCasualty ﹝ sharp tips of his nails, claw-like, thread through the golden soft spun silks for strands of his beloved’s hair, stilling only at her inquiry. ﹞
is that what he told you? i told him that he is to clear the castle
𝑎𝑑𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛. ﹝ unusually calm. ﹞ i, in no way have said, nor made mention, of being upset that you have made connections that better serve you and bring you happiness.
must you expect the worst in me?
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀i am not — .ᐟ i do not linger around mortals much or the vampires , let alone the bloody aristocrats .
all of my wealth goes out to those less fortunate or other investments .
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
this is 𝘮𝘺 home. your trust in them does not equate and correlate to mine own. surely you understand that.
why, those very friends are already threatening me. i will not tell you who to spend your time with——
you 𝘢𝘳𝘦 an “out of touch rich bitch,” and now, your joyride comes to a halt.
do with them as you like. three days you are given to clear the whole of that zoo you just named. better start now, son.
i can’t employ my friend . i would be just another out of touch rich bitch .
what about my companions …͟ 😿lovers … 😿͟ your grandchildren …͟ 😿
the animals i house …͟ 😿
