WESSEX
after all is said and done
you're just a carnivore let you in and drink my blood
you're nothing but a monster Wessex laughs. “I forgot you’ve never seen where I live.” She clears her throat, sits up, and makes herself ‘presentable’ (whatever that means). Time to lay it all out for Rex: and she starts with the quintessential ‘picture this’ gesture, by spreading her hands wide in front of them as if they were watching a movie - which neither of them have heard about. “Picture this: a one room house, cleverly disguised as a something no one’s invested much in. There’s a bed, a fireplace, a locked chest, and a bunch of weapons, if you’re into that kind of thing.” She pauses. “Aaaaand…. That’s about it.” Her hands fall at her sides and the Wraith makes a sound in the back of her throat that could almost be considered a chuckle. “So when I say I don’t know much about decorating, I mean I have no taste, whatsoever.” Except functional. She likes functional. Because pretty was rarely an option, and she’s always found that in her mind, badass tops attractive any day. It’s probably why Wessex is still single. |
happy birthday to you
for Rex |

REXANNA
i was born with a knife in one hand The Penumbra gives the Wraith a light shrug of amusement. No, she hasn’t seen where Wessex lives. But for that matter, the Queen hasn’t seen where she lives either. It’s only fair. She turns to face Wessex when she begins to show what she might like, what kind of style she has, and she folds her legs up beneath her to cross them and watch as the woman paints a picture in her mind. And well, she’s no artist like Bastien is, but she can work with that. She puts her hands together before her, a glow begins in between her hands while she listens and hangs onto the details. She creates a couple pieces of paper, and a piece of charcoal, something to take notes on. Sapphire eyes lift back up to Wessex with a small smirk as she flattens the paper by her leg and nods. “So… I have a few ideas.” She pauses briefly, giving a smile as she looks down to her sheet and picks up the charcoal to begin taking notes. “We can do some minimal things, calm colors… but in terms of decorating, is there anything family related you might want to include? Something from those I saw around you when Ludo picked your lantern?” She suggests, eyes flitting up to look at Wessex with a dark raised brow, uncertain how the Wraith might respond to such a gentle, heartbreaking time for her. Rexanna didn’t have any blood relatives, but here? Here she could decorate with her newfound family. And she finds she would love to. and a wound in the other the Wraith

REXANNA
i was born with a knife in one hand The Queen looks to her in surprise, and Rexanna’s gaze drifts up with a small smile toward her. Has nobody asked before? Or is it just another thing the Outlanders have done? Touted their own histories without even considering what the history of those here born and raised had lived. And Rexanna suddenly finds she’s very interested in what Wessex has to say. Her eyes go distant, and Rexanna averts her gaze back to the paper she’s created, giving some semblance of privacy in a way while she scribbles in fine penmanship despite using charcoal. “I love wildflowers.” She comments quietly with a smile, until Wessex’s comment causes her eyes to lift toward her newfound sister again. At first she wants to comment on it, but thinks better of it as the small smile blossoms. “I never had any siblings.” She pauses. The only family she ever had growing up were the servants that had taken her in when she was a child. And she channels more of the thoughts of their small room into what might make something feel like home compared to Rexanna’s own taste of gaudy, vibrant things. “What was she like? Magrethe?” She asks, making notes of wildflowers and calm colors, some decorations of barren tree branches that could be both homey and classically cold enough to suit Wessex too. and a wound in the other the Wraith

REXANNA
i was born with a knife in one hand She nods in response, putting a little check mark next to the wildflowers she’s written down — as if an indication to say yes, put this in. And she listens further when Wessex comments that it must have been lonely, which sparks a small smile on her face. Did she ever want any siblings? Not really. But then again, you didn’t know what you were missing if you didn’t have it in the first place, right? “I grew up with the Halyven servants, until the king sprung the news onto me when I was young that I was a princess of sorts. So they were my family, just not blood related. So I never thought about it much.” She shrugs. The couple that had taken her in were unable to have their own children. So it only made sense that they could take in an orphaned child, an orphaned one day Queen, too. The Penumbra asks of the blonde woman’s sister and listens diligently while she speaks, a smile coming across her face at the images that spark in her mind. “She sounds like she was wonderful.” She admits, unable to ask what happened, not sure that they’re close enough for those kinds of questions. So she leaves it be, scribbling some more thoughts down. “What did she do?” She asks, wondering if since she nurses abandoned babies if she were some kind of midwife, a healer of sorts, a kind soul with plenty of generosity to go around. and a wound in the other the Wraith

REXANNA
i was born with a knife in one hand The Penumbra doesn’t realize she didn’t disclose that amount of information to the queen, and she gives the woman a wry smile, deciding that she could explain the confusion of that history in the interim. “My mother was the Queen of Halyven, and my father wasn’t the King so much as the general of our soldiers… So.” She shrugs lightly. “The King had both of them beheaded a few days after I was born, gave me to one of the higher servants that couldn’t have children of their own in case the King had a use for me.” Which the King did – when he sold her off like cattle to marry the Prince of Asciend. But that was beside the point, and information already shared. So she focuses on Wessex’s description of her sister, listening and feeling the love the Ascended woman exudes from the recollection, smiling softly when she says that she thinks she wouldn’t have minded her Ascension. But she listens further when Wessex comments that her sister was a farmer, like her parents, and Rexanna’s eyes slip up – having always pegged the Wraith as a huntress of sorts, rather than a farmer. But she had no room to judge anything, and so she nods along. Some added scribbles of fauna alongside the wildflowers. They’d be able to make the new home shine for Wessex, while still being comfortable. “That’s amazing, actually.” She chimes, smiling before the charcoal taps against her lip as she thinks. “So we could do some calm colors, wildflowers here and there, something woodsy… Some animals maybe that your family raised we could add in. I’m sure Bastien would be willing to help design some things for it too.” She contemplates, with a tilt of her head as she looks to the Queen. and a wound in the other the Wraith

REXANNA
i was born with a knife in one hand Rexanna doesn’t particularly care who knows about her past or not, not since her Ascension. Not since Zariah isn’t around anymore to possibly feel threatened by her and what she was once. But she had given it all up, all of her ties to Halyven, witnessed by the Voice herself. This is her home now, and she prefers the solitude of being able to do what she wants to whenever she wants to. Her head lifts to look at Wessex as she asks her question, a smile cascading over her face at the suggestion before she scribbles it down. “Sounds perfect to me.” She nods, before Wessex is rolling up her sleeve and poises yet another question to her, and she drifts toward the Ascended woman, scooting closer to inspect the tattoo of sorts. Sapphire eyes drift up to meet Wessex’s face as her smile shifts to something akin to a smirk. “Crests, at least where I’m from, are supposed to be intimidating in a way.” She offers with a light shrug, scribbling a small sketch of it down and inspecting her not very well drawn scribbles. But ah, thank the gods she’s marrying an artist. “I’ll see if Bastien can make it into a bigger design that I can sew into a flag of sorts for you, if you’d like?” and a wound in the other the Wraith

REXANNA
i was born with a knife in one hand Wessex mentions she’s not exactly a flag person, and Rexanna nods to that. It makes sense – some people are, some people aren’t. Rexanna herself? Definitely a flag type of person. But then again, she loves anything overdone and gaudy, brilliant, bright, and vibrant. It was her more than it was Wessex, so something subtle would have to do. And she marks it down on the paper just in case she forgets that small tidbit. “Got it.” She says, flashing the Ascended Queen a fanged smile. Still, she listens as Wessex explains what she thinks will work best, to better succeed her vision of it, and Rexanna nods along – soaking it up and making sure she can help out the best she can. After all, it beats battling giant pumpkins and almost dying any day. “Could fade it into something, or add it as a little trinket that’s around – small enough to not be noticed at first but the trend would remain?” She says, thinking of things like official paperwork or things of that nature. They’ll make it work. She has faith in that. and a wound in the other the Wraith

REXANNA
i was born with a knife in one hand “A wood carving would be great, actually.” She says with a light smile, jotting it down. Now that she has all the notes she needs, she can focus on other things. But her mind always continues to shift back toward the décor of the place, of what they can make of it. How she can help this queen, with far better results than the forced help of the last monarchy. And she’ll gladly do it. But soon enough, the Wraith slips from the stone seat and jumps down, and Rexanna doesn’t plan on being left behind. Instead, she follows the Queen, hopping down easily, though the distance is a bit longer for her than it was for Wessex, but she doesn’t mind. Instead, she folds the paper and sticks it into a pocket before brushing the dust and dirt from the stone seat off her clothes. “I’ll come see you when I have things ready.” She says, giving Wessex a bright smile before she nears the queen and aims to touch the woman’s shoulder gently. “And thank you for welcoming me to this little family.” and a wound in the other | ||||||
