@psielapki: sitting on the arm of the throne, combing vitya's hair. "my liege, you should kill this guy for fun."
THERE HAS BEEN SOME RATHER HEAVY DISAGREEMENTS IN the arrangement Vitya provided unto the court , keeping his own sort of advisor of the mage variety , Slavík still on the fence pertaining to such and the explorative nature of incorporating them within their circles. to some , it was a breach into the unknown , welcoming in possible intrusions that could harm the kingdom. but , to Vitya , it was a well done opportunity to gather intel and power within their very hands. protection , education , a means of a gateway into what others consider to be so wild to consume.
and yet , even the prince had forgotten to teach etiquette upon the woman. her position next to him , the way she comfortably graces Vitya with certain acts of touch presented before the audience that came in call of aid ; it is all viewed with aghast expressions. he found he did not mind her oddity within the eyes of the court , allowing her comfortability to do as she pleased , speak as she pleased. when a man was brought forth with crimes listed for the king and he to hear , he had not speculated her statement to be brought forth so easily and for all the hear.
it was petty crimes , Vitya would file them under , yet her words shook the mass as well as the king who is quickly shooting daggers at them both ; shut your pet up. where embarrassment may usually be , he merely offers a strained smile , his hand to rise and pat at Fates to cease her threading through his hair. ❛ do not mind her. she is still. . . learning our ways. ❜ his father tsks , rolls his eyes and returns to dulling out sentencing and favors to those who approached for such. Vitya takes this moment to shift in his seat and face her , his gloved fingers looping around her wrist in warning.
❛ you are going to get us in trouble if you keep speaking like that freely , Fate. ❜ is but a whisper meant only for her ears , amber shades flickering across her own. ❛ Slavík is not as blood hungry as the other territories. my father would have you put away for speaking so out of turn. ❜ which is not exactly something he wants. she was interesting , an opportunity for Vitya to explore outside of the whims of royalty that befell upon his shoulders. his grip along her loosens , his expressionism a bit softer.
❛ and do i seem like a ‘for fun’ type of man? hm. ❜
