#emo hours

This small routine is one of my only pieces of peace. I've been doing my best to keep myself from falling apart due to the pressure of it all. Not emotionally but mentally.

I'm exposing momo to the smell of sea water in hopes that I can try to take him to the beach again without his carrier. I wanna see if he will walk around in the sand.

A CLASH OF KINGS WRITING PROMPTS, still accepting ! expect slow responses.

" ... like my father & brother? " the question hangs stiffly in the air, and while ethan was not one for hostility, the atmosphere can't help but turn tense. topics of men and their deaths had been recent of late, what with the death of the king in the north, and all the men that he rallied together (which included ethan's father & eldest brother). the subject therefor, was sensitive.

you see, ethan was never meant to be lord. he was always meant to take up a shield, when the time was right— but never the mantle of lordship. he was third in line, his second eldest brother banished to essos, and thus should have never seen ironrath's seat for himself.

as it was, the freys saw otherwise. they betrayed their king, betrayed their own honor in the process by killing a guest beneath their roof, and thusly killed the young forrester's father & brother. what followed afterwards was a succession that ethan had never seen coming, now naming him lord.
