“Home’s a bit of an illusion, no? Something we say to many ourselves feel better. The idea of something we’re moving towards, something we can return to, when we’ve actually left years ago.”

 Keeping her safe

Lady Darludalina (Ladylrbloom)

Summary:

“You could-” The Darkling leaned in, clasping his hands over his knees. “Make Miss Starkov another crown to go with the rose collar. Miss Mischa gave you enough twine and roses, da? And you need to practice so you can be as good as David, Saskia.” He tweaked her nose. “Practice every day, Moya Materialki.” The girl hesitated, nodded, curtsied again to Alina then took off. “She’s precious,” Alina whispered watching Saskia race to her work place and boisterously shoo the crowding Grishenka away so she could get to work on her assignment. “They are all precious,” The Darkling said proudly. “Which why I will do everything in my power to protect them.”
