‘ TAINTED TEARS.

          HE BUGGED HER FOR TWO HOURS  ABOUT  IT  & .       somehow still didn’t take the hint even  after  she  threw  one  of  her       heels at him once her patience had run  thin    (  sober headaches were       NEVER  something  to  joke  about  on  this  ship  )   .    but  she  eventually       gave him permission once he let her have a second to  calm  down ,       & .  no  sooner  was  she  sitting  on   the   treaded   floor   carefully       organizing her  ＭＥＤＩＣＡＬ  ＳＵＰＰＬＹ with him  stacked  on       some boxes just behind her.  SHE WOULDN’T ADMIT IT,  but it gave at       least some relief  —-—  when he wouldn’t pull too hard,  earning       him a  ｓｌｉｇｈｔ  ｅｌｂｏｗ   to the shin when he’d laugh       over her complaints about it.

                    ❝ good thing when you said you wanted your fingers                        in  my  hair ,  it  wasn’t  for  what  ROCKET KEEPS                        BETTING ON . ❞

          THE PRIESTESS IS PATIENT AS  THE  ARCHER  relays       her concerns in such a brief amount of time , it almost makes her own       thoughts  SWIM  TO  THE  SURFACE .   there’s a  slight  pause  from  the       blood  elf  as  ALLERIA  settles  herself down in her uneasiness the       more she speaks —-— a gentle hand lifted between them as though       to ｓｔａｙ the ren'dorei’s anxiety swelling in her chest.

          THE SILVER LINING DOESN’T RIM ALONG   the   clouds       above   –—–—–   it sharpens itself along the arrow knocked into the       huntress’ bow,    the head readied to pierce into the  sin'dorei’s  heart       should she move.  dead  lined  themselves  around  them like borders        ——— the rallied cries of  HORDE  &.  ALLIANCE  now seeming       so distant, like echoes beneath the waves.   ❝ ＴＨＥＲＥ  ＷＡＳ, ❞

  A   BLESSING   SENT   FORTH   FROM   THE   HEAVENS   ;   PETER COULDN’T   BEGIN   TO   EXPRESS   gratitude when alie had shown up to peter’s apartment with an intention of WRANGLING the infamous quill twins ! both ren & alyssa had stopped whatever TROUBLE they were causing long enough to slam their little bodies into alie with exclamations of their excitement & adoration, and despite the EXHAUSTION that claimed peter’s face, he could not stop a smile from settling there as well. they loved when alie came over because she told the BEST stories, and at current moment? she was not disappointing.

            ren was settled ‘pon peter’s lap, alyssa far too excited with alie’s story to remain seated. her petite hand was BALLED in fist as she aided in alie’s story, and both ren and peter’s mouth were parted in manner of their EXCITEMENT.  ❛ hell yes someone should        die !  ❜ peter was the one to speak, forgetting, for the moment, that the story was for his kids, not him. but it appeared to matter little, for alyssa was nodding her head in agreement and leaning against alie’s legs.  ❛ yeah yeah ! someone’s head should get chopped off !  ❜ ren appeared mortified at such a thought, but alyssa was so loud in her determination for CONSEQUENCE at the end of the story, his opinion seemed to drown.

          THANK GOD FOR THEATRICS ,   AS  EVEN  SHE  DIDN'T       know how long he would've lasted had she not shown up. private pediatric       care was . . . a  ｆｏｒｅｉｇｎ  arrangement she still had to get use to       ——  but nonetheless,  she understood the reasoning behind it.   the first       day all three walked into her office,  peter ＦＬＵＳＨＥＤ ＰＡＬＥ at the       sight  of white walls  &.  paper - thin bedding more - so than the twins did.       BEST NOT TO ASK ,  she figured.  despite , she smiled wide at the knock       against her knees as two small bodies   ͨ ʳᵃˢʰᵉᵈ    into her ,  arms  draping       down to dual - hug.           soon,  the questions of new pretend adventures came  at  her  A  MILE  A       MINUTE  &.  of course , she'd start the story off simple —-— following their       father down the hall as the two  misfits  practically swung from her limbs --       until   the   heroine's   journey   of   violence  & .  enchantment   prompted       everybody to take a seat.  lyssie helped along the way,  shouting gleefully       at the questions alie would conjure on a whim  -—-—-  &.  it wasn't long       until  the  doctor  herself  presented  the  girl  to  the  stage beside her & .       motioned that the reigns of this story were now in her hands.   moving  to       a spot on the floor closer to the other two  quill's  as  their  new  presenter       hashed out the . . . questionable details  (  for her age  )  of  the  battle ,       alie took the time to do what she was originally here  for :  the  tired  ren ,       red  rimmed  around  his  eyes  while  his  skin  blanched  with  color .   a       sympathetic smile smoothed along her lips as she ran  a  hand  along  his       forehead -——- he was starting to burn up as peter mentioned nervously       over the phone ,  tonsils swollen as  she  felt  carefully  where  she  could       while he sank into his dad's arms &.  WHIMPERED .

          A  MOMENT  OF  STAND - STILL  IN  THE  HEAT   OF       celebration &.  the elf isn’t quite sure if such words were a reflection       SUNG  INTO  THE   WIND ,    to   go   unnoticed   &.   DROWN   IN   THE       MERRIMENT . whether it was intended or not , the priestess is aware       -——-  ＰＲＥＳＥＮＴ  &.  unmoving as a personal history floods       through    the    mind   in   such   truth   before   being  ｓｗｅｐｔ      ａｓｉｄｅ  by the sound of shattering pints.   does her own voice       carry with the tune of the lutes &. drums in the air ??                                                                     ᵒᶰᵉ ᶜᵒᵘˡᵈ ᵒᶰˡʸ ʷᵒᶰᵈᵉʳ    .

          SHE KNOWS WHY IT’S  NEEDED  FOR  BOTH  their       sake,   she wasn’t a fool     —  but the priestess,  even still,  tries       to lighten the situation with the  MOST GENTLE CHUCKLE  she could       muster. her eyes  C L O S E   ———  a warm hand coming up to       take hold of the plated one at her cheek  but  ｎｏｔ  ｏｎｃｅ      ｔｈｉｎｋ  to move it.  she keeps it there,  thumb running over       the knuckles as the world  blurs  &.  they  just  seem  to   .   .   .       entwine their own reality together ,  LINGERING .
