bela's teasing on how Cassandra could be a bad hunter .

' And if it isn't the DIMITRESCU DISAPPOINTMENT . I should be asking you that question , dear sister . We both know you've no idea how to handle your prey ... '

If Bela wants to tease , so be it : Cassandra isn't above biting back , and she's inclined to make sure it's harder .

@caedou asked: ❛ who’s going to stop us, huh? ❜

"W-Who??   --"   Ashley   echoed   ...   not   as   confidently   as   she   would've   liked   to.

The   gun   she   held   in   her   hand   felt   foreign   and   she   could   feel   herself   tremble   slightly.   --   It   was   clear   she   was   nowhere   near   to   being   as   cool   and   collected   as   Leon.

--   but   she   still   had   to   do   something!

GIVE  MY  MUSE  A  NICKNAME  /  PET  NAME.

If it weren't for the fact Ashley survived a murderous cult-like village with monstrous beings. She'd probably be screaming at the very sight of this woman.

-- ..... she was braver now but it wasn't like that would be enough to save.

                            AH . THERE YOU ARE , DAUGHTER OF MINE . It was amazing  the ways that she felt her daughter's presence. As a mother. As a huntress. As a fellow honouree of Mother Miranda's blissful & transformative touch. Darling Baela was not a mere daughter, but comparable to the Lady's clawed right hand : strong, beloved, essential. Her daughter has happened upon her in a delighted mood.   Tomorrow, she will meet with the Duke and browse wares.   Tomorrow, she will wake up to a day of estate management & prisoner overseeing & painting with delicate fine brushes.    Tomorrow, she will be busy. But tonight? Here she sits before a roaring fire in their common room, sipping blood from a wine goblet, reading. This is an hour destined for maternal affection. Lady Dimitrescu extends a long arm, hardly looking up from the printed page that she devours. The gesture is obvious : I HAVE A LITTLE SPACE HERE FOR US TO LAZE TOGETHER, MY PRIZED DARLING , DEATHLY & KILLING HEARTS BEATING AS ONE.                                                                       " COME .
