I can’t st a n d his art

me always w/ the talia tag smh

He was expecting some ancient scroll or something along that line, but this was a whole lot better. Now that he had the box in his hands, he realized it wasn’t just any ordinary woodbox. It was made purely of mahogany. He knew the scent well. And by the looks of it, the carvings were still fresh. So it was made then and there before being handed to him. 

Damian perked when heard her words, telling him to open it up. He did as he was told, and when he did, he paused to blush and pout. It was one of her favorite blades from her infamous collection no one was allowed to touch. Not even Damian was allowed to approach the chamber. That, and because it was guarded with lazers. --tt-- Not a problem for him, but the last time he surpassed her secret, he got a scolding from her. Always had to ruin his fun.

He frowned down at his gift. He wanted it, but at the same time, he felt as if it wasn’t rightfully his to wield, or as she said, to keep as a treasure. He covered the blade with the wooden top, casing it then holding it out towards his mother.

He half expected for his mother show up out of the blue, and when she showed up with a gift, Damian’s heart stopped for a few seconds. He tried his best not to beam or appear excited at his mother’s arrival.

Damian stared down at the gift, taking in it’s attributes, before reaching forward and grabbing it from her hands. He kept his eyes on the gift the entire time. Years before, Talia got him several ravishing gifts such as a plane, private island, and a car (but not allowed to drive it until he gets his permit) which he had his servants maintain whenever he needed to use it.

Last year, she gave him something with a lot more meaning to it; a new sketchbook made with the finest quality of sketch paper. He only used a few pages due to the fact he couldn’t find the same texture of sketch paper anywhere. His mother truly knows how to gift when she does. He only imagined what was inside the box.

He glanced up momentarily before his eyes dropped again.
