REXANNA
i was born with a knife in one hand
She watches him arch his brow at her and she hums a chimed laughter in response. But it fades when he accepts the roll, to be a part of it all instead of her being whisked away. It was the only thing she’d ever wanted, for her newfound family to have a roll in the rest of her life. To have those to lean on instead of being alone like those so many months beneath castle upon castle. And she finds it here in Caido with a sigh of relief.
But she claims he was her only option and she notices the snort and roll of his eyes before another wave of laughter leaves her and she shakes her head. “I meant I didn’t think about anyone else. I wanted it to be you.” She informs him with a wink before she clinks her glass against his and downs the rest of it like a practiced woman before she sets the glass on the table. “But I’ll be in touch!” She announces before standing, letting him think of it how he would. She was far too filled with joy to not want to shout it to the world. But she contains herself, standing and stepping to where he sits, arm outstretched to give his shoulder a light squeeze.
“Thank you, Deimos.” Her voice is softer then but a fanged smile plays on her lips. “We’ll talk again soon.” She gives him a nod before stepping over to Zuriel and extending her hand for the unicorn to sniff in farewell, before she grabs her things and leaves into the dark night.
