His silver gaze flickers, attentive, between his patient’s face and the notepad in his lap. The office is quiet but for the scribblings of his pen on the paper and the record softly singing Scriabin’s Allegro appassionato Op. 4 from atop the bookcase. Oswald’s attention is unyielding as his interlocutor speaks, and he scarcely needs to look at the notes. Dutifully, he lets a small silence hang; what a revelation he has just been given! If he were a fox, pale-pelted and fine-eyed as he is, he would be licking his chops.

A gracile hand pushes the glasses further up his face as he redresses from note-taking, shifting one leg over the other. His leather shoe glides on the turkish carpet without a sound. A hum, all consideration, all opening to more.

Winter and Death. you’re known for your self-discipline and rigidity. although you may be perceived as cold and intimidating by those who don’t directly worship you, you’re actually quite fair and polite. your followers pray to you for a safe winter and peaceful death.

Patron Saint of Lost Faith.

patron saint of leaving it by the roadside. patron saint of it slipping out of your fingers. patron saint of searching and searching. patron saint of yearning for it back. patron saint of scraping your fingers down to the bone trying to hold onto it. patron saint of losing it anyway. saint of lost faith. not the saint of getting it back.

The Sacrifice.

you die saving the thing you love. maybe it is family, friends, perhaps even a cause. they will carry your face with them for the rest of their lives, and every milestone they pass will make them think of you. it does not matter because you won't be there to experience it with them. years down the line, they will meet people who do not even know the weight of your name upon their skin. this is what your selflessness gets you in the end.
