i had the pleasure of commissioning a very talented artist named elle ([email protected]) to draw ms, "born to be mild": matilda walden!!! ✨ the details are fantastic and show matilda exactly as i envisioned, gene tierney inspired hair and pearl earrings included! she's my original l.a. noire baby and here's (yet another) excerpt from the fic i will totally post sometime:
“I’ll wait an hour and drive to the address,” Matilda confirmed with smug satisfaction. “We'll meet there.”
Cole sighed and accepted defeat. “Very well, Miss Walden. One hour.”
“Don’t go in that building without us,” Stefan warned. “Don’t talk to anyone and don’t get in any trouble, understand?”
“I’m not a child,” She snarled.
“Stop acting like one and I’ll stop treating you like one," He retorted.
“Does that go for you, too? Stop acting like a no good cop and I’ll stop treating you like one?” Matilda jeered.
“That chip on your shoulder just keeps getting bigger, doesn’t it?”
Cole coughed, dispelling the heightening tension. “This is unhelpful.”
Matilda stood before Stefan could apologize to Cole for loosing his cool, picking up her camera from the table and flashed another insincere smile at Cole. “I’ll see you at the location, Detective Phelps. It was nice to meet you.”
She made to leave, pointedly ignoring Stefan as she walked to and opened the door.
