"I'm sorry," he muttered through gritted teeth, swallowing roughly.

“You know if you keep making that face it will freeze like that” Helaena smiled as she sat a fresh cup of tea in front of her cofounder and friend. She had just finished Herbology lessons for the day so she was spending some time in the teachers lounge, working on lesson plans and just doing some housekeeping. She had noticed Salazar looking particularly perturbed over something but she wouldn’t pry, if he wished to tell her he would. “Cream, sugar or honey?” The blonde offered, using her wand to bring the tray over to their table. 

“Salazar, enough! I’ll never hate muggles as you do! Partly because I married one!” She was tired of listening to him rant and rave about his continued hatred of muggles. She was tired of knowing what he was willing to do to them, and she found herself blurting out the one thing she knew he would never want to hear. A mistake, for sure, but there was no way Rowena could put the words back into her mouth. So she might as well accept her fate. When she spoke again, her words came a lot softer. “Sometime in the 15th century I went to live amongst them. See what it was like to live as they do. I fell in love, and we had children. A set of twins. Two beautiful wizard boys, Gideon and Santana.”

“    hello, hi, yes, how are you ?? are you interested in a conversation about our lord and saviour, jesus christ ?? there are a few of us, just down this path. we’d love to introduce you to a concept. nothing beats eternal liberation, after all !!    ”     he had felt her before he had seen her, which was why he was quick; slitting the guy’s throat and leaving the body by a dumpster; rushing to the entrance of the alley and pretending to be all happy-cheery to the person who was just about to walk down there. nothing like good old christianity to turn people away !!

“Gwen.... You... You’re okay ? I-I mean... It’s good to see you.” He could feel his heart pump heavily inside his chest. She had died. He had heard her heart stop. It was so damn CONFUSING, maybe even dangerous, but he wanted to believe she was back. 

“Hello, old friend,” Rowena greeted from behind him. She’d recognize Salazar anywhere. Even with the years that had passed. Even with his back turned. “It’s been a while since we last saw each other.” That was quite the understatement of a generation. The two hadn’t seen each other in centuries. She was beginning to think that maybe he had finally allowed himself to die, but it was good to see that some things never changed.

"   hey. hey, are you okay ??    ”     he felt it. strong emotion, coming from her. it was unique that he was able to pick it out of a crowd of people, so whatever was going on with her . . . she had immediately gained his attention. maybe that wasn’t . . . a good thing at all.    “   ma’am ??    ”          // @fallencrowns​ at gwen !!
