REXANNA
they said you were the crooked kind
Whether he wanted to do it or not, Rexanna had to ensure that he did. And she walked with him there, listening before they arrived to the words he spoke and the squeeze of her hand. She doesn’t turn her head to look at him, instead she remains looking straight ahead, eyes shuttering slightly in response. “In time, my love.” She says softly, turning to look at him finally and offering a gentle, encouraging smile. Soon enough, they’ve arrived at the sign ups and she stands back, arms folded in front of her as she watches Bastien pinch the bridge of his nose before approaching. She doesn’t say anything in response to the mumble, a strange amount of silence coming from the woman before he signed and turned away to face her. She nodded her head, stepping toward him to grasp his hand gently and aimed to lead him home. “Home it is.” She says softly until they’re out of the earshot of the guards that stood by the sheet to ensure people signed it correctly.
As they walk, she squeezes his hand gently and sighs to herself before turning to look at him. “I can’t tell you the details what I had to do, but it seems it’s my destiny to remain at court one way or another, worlds apart.” She offers, ending a bit sadly before smiling at the irony of it. As they draw nearer to her home, she glances to Bastien, wishing nothing more than to hug and kiss his (and her) worries away. To wait for tomorrow, to forget about today.
“I’m sorry you had to sign it, it was the only way.” She says quietly, letting go of his hand to unlock her door and step inside.
but you were always gold to me
