Eliza G. Blackwood

“I slept very well thanks to you.” Have her near him, her scent, keeping him calm while he slept was such a relief after the decades without her. And now standing here, getting coffee or tea or breakfast, whatever it may be, and talking about dates was something he was glad to be doing. “Great lunch it is, I can come grab you from work and we can go out.” Hearing her talking about rituals made him smile and kiss her head. “That’s fine. You do your magic spells and I’ll be getting dinner ready for when you finish. I do like movie and popcorn. What shall we watch?”

“You always help me sleep better too.” She said, almost a little thoughtfully. She loved feelings his warmth around her, his beard pressed against her shoulder or top of her head. Sharing a bed again had made her seek out closeness as much as she could, though she didn’t think he minded much. “Sounds good.” She agreed, attempting not to think further about the magic she was prepping for. At this point she ought to have told him, and the fact that she hadn’t kept making her feel awful if she allowed herself to delve on it for too long. “You are too kind to me love. Is there anything involving me and you on a couch that you don’t like? Hmm.. good question. Any you’ve wanted to see?” 

“Well I am better seeing your bright face in the morning.” He moved for a moment to grab a mug and make himself some tea. As he got the water boiling his eyes shifted back to her. Even in the mornings she looked stunning. “Doing some rounds, paper work, a meeting here and there. But I’m free for lunch if you’d like to get together. And then my day is done around six. We can have a date night if you’d like. Your choice what we do for it.” Chance grabbed a tea bag and looked for the honey. Honestly he was just happy to be with her. 

“Awh its not that early. Didn’t you sleep well?” she asked, picking back up her mug and turning to lean against the counter while sipping it, watching him move about and curiously listening to him sum up his day. His job was at times much more demanding than hers, and yet they always managed to find time for each other. Which felt even more important to ensure now’a days. Eliza couldn’t imagine going a whole day without seeing him only once in the morning. “I’d love to do lunch. Its such a good excuse for me to get out of the house. Six isn’t too bad. I have some ah, ritual proceedings to do at twilight but I should be done by seven at the latest. Maybe we could do something positively modern? Watch a movie after dinner, make some popcorn?” Lately she’d ben suggesting a lot of at home date nights, wanting to have him all to herself. 

The voice was all too familiar, and though seemingly sweet, the words held recognizable sass. Eliza, of course she would know these things since she’s married to a council member. Kora all day has simply been trying to get herself busy, out of trouble, but busy. The air that seems to blanket the town is filled with an energy that she can’t fully identify, but it’s left her on edge. The only thing she can manage to do is keep her hands moving and her mind clear of animalistic thoughts for as long as possible until she can act upon her desire to shift. 

One dark brow raises as the witch addresses her and a small smirk plays at the corner of her mouth as she twirled the blade, steel gleaming along the sharp edge. “Why, are you worried? Do you feel threatened by me?” She was only teasing, it showed through the twinkle in her emerald eyes. There may forever be a sort of tension between them, but Kora wouldn’t harm her.

The night will apparently bring challenges to all species, and Eliza can’t entirely say that she’s pleased with them. Its a bit complicated all together and she is sure that most will find it unappealing to feel the effects. And it might be selfish of her not sharing the details but there were arguments that could be made that they were better off not knowing? Even with the information there wasn’t too much she herself could do with it. The thought of loosing her control around Chance was dreadful.

It pleased Eliza to new hights to be able to know things that were happening in town, or with the town, before everyone else did. It was one of the perks of being Mrs Blackwood. Not that she hadn’t been kept in the loop prior to being married to Chance but now everyone expected her to be as well. Of course her vanity thrived off it, being almost in the inner circle, feeling important and seen. And yet, no individual around seems to be immune to the changes and effects of the full moon tonight, and its coming super moon.
