#berrian

(posted to ao3 under Salamansir, Cicero/Male Listener [oc] Light angst, hurt/comfort, Berrian is an alcoholic but won't admit it, death mention, child death mention. Cicero is incredibly nosey.)

2,684 words (relatively game spoiler free if you haven't played it.)

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did *you* want to finish? Not until I'm done with you, and oh...I am not done with you yet..."

Berrian being a shit to his agent/manager and sometimes booty call, Osfyr.

BUTTS. 

I would love to know about your love views!

Are your love types the same as how you choose your partner (Berrien) or was it different?

And since you have been married before, do you prefer to propose first or would you want to be proposed to? 🤭

And here are some questions for both you and Maggie!

What do you like to do when Maggie is in school?

And for your afternoon tea, what is your favourite tea and dessert combo? And what do you like to make together with your family?

And here are Maggie’s question:

What is Maggie’s favourite sweets? And what is her favourite thing to draw right now?

Lillanna: Thank you for the birthday wishes, dear. It truly means a lot.

You're asking about love, is it? Well, choosing Berrian was truly not an intentional choice by any means. After all, my husband's death weighed on me and Maggie for a while and grief of course wouldn't leave me for some time. However, I saw parts of him in Berrian. Admittedly it was hard at first but he became more to me than that. Also well, since my husband was the one to propose to me all those years ago, I would look forward to seeing that happen again.

Your next questions then, I see. Well, back home when Maggie is in her class, I'm teaching my own students next door. I can certainly see myself continuing to teach the kindergarten classes, even as Maggie will soon be more grown up in the grades. As for my tea, I've always been fond of milk and green teas, with a small desert loaf on the side. Maggie and I enjoy making and doing a lot together; gardening in the spring and summer for instance, and she always likes to help making sweet treats and her bentos for lunch. After learning more about the others' preferences, we also make those together as well.

Now, let me get Maggie to have her questions answered....

*Some time later*

Maggie: Hello! Thank you for the questions! I love all kinds of sweets, but I REALLY love the ones with strawberries! I also really love drawing Mama, and me, and Papa, and Uncle Bellen, and all of my big brothers and sisters, heheheheh~!

Lillianna: Alright, I believe those were all the questions are us, so thank you again dear. And take care now.
