ipsa scientia potestas est

       abby sighs and bites her lip, moving forward to pull ashley into a        HUG. ❝ it’s good to see you. sorry for that reaction i just…you shouldn’t        BE here. it’s too dangerous. ❞ 

         she melts forwards immediately, arms wrapping around abby as she         breathes in the smell of her hair for the first time in entirely too long.         ❝ and when was the last time DANGER stopped me? ❞  she breathes,         running her hand down abby’s back.

         ❝ I couldn’t just let you go without -- without knowing. ❞          Ashley’s standing there shaking, not sure whether or not she          should move towards her.

       ❝ ashley, ❞ she tries again, trying to move to her only to find she’s tied to a chair and got she’s getting REALLY sick of this. ❝ ashley, can you hear me ? ❞ 

     ❝ i –– ❞ she desperately gasps for air to form words, pushing the panic down deeper in her stomach.  she can’t handle being tied like this, she’s terrified, but it sinks in that the voice she’s hearing belongs to abby and in a heartbeat all of the fear for her own safety turns to the other woman.  ❝ are you hurt ?  i’m going to get you out of here, abby, i promise. ❞  but when she can’t budge against the ropes her voice catches in a dry sob.

       ❝ i see. PROFESSIONAL HAZARD, i suppose. i see extended lifespans and immediately think witchcraft. that’s actually how helen and i met. not the best start to a friendship, i’m sure, but it all ended for the BEST. ❞

    ❝ i’ve come to think that the line between witchcraft and science is much finer than we’d like to believe, ❞  she murmurs, eyes sparkling with a laugh.  ❝ given that my extended lifespan came from vampire blood, there’s precious little i wouldn’t believe at this point. ❞  she’s joking around, but she has the lower hand here and she knows it. there are what feels like a million questions about witchcraft preying on her mind, and she’s thoroughly unaccustomed to knowing so little about something so important.  not the best start to be making when she’s speaking to joanna, who is clearly brilliant and still more beautiful than ashley can fully process.

One of my neighbours slipped this under my door while I was practising, I thought they were going to make a noise complaint but they just had a request. I played it with my windows open and I heard really loud clapping come from a balcony a few stories up which was super lovely. I’m in such a lovely mood now it’s so nice to be appreciated.

       ❝ well…i think i just might be able to HELP with that. ❞

      ❝ do you, now. ❞  she’s lying as close as she can possibly to abby without touching her, face lit up in a satisfied smirk.  both of them are lying on ashley’s bed, worn down from a long day in the lab, but abby’s beautiful anyway and ashley wants her, messy hair, borrowed wool jumper and all.  ❝ i certainly encourage you to try. ❞

       ❝ bloody hell, even the not blood relations are cashing in on the IMMORTALITY game now. you must be ashley. ❞

       ❝ i’ll have you know i’m one of the trendsetters, though. pleasure to meet you, rebekah. ❞
