SHE HAD GOTTEN UP MUCH EARLIER than she needed, and spent the morning reading by the window. she’d been curled up, feet tucked under herself, although she’d still found her mind wandering to cirilla, she looked up from her spot when she noticed movement, already moving towards the door when leopold knocked. she knew things wouldn’t be easy right now, and as she opened the door, she was already reaching for leopold as soon as it was open. she wrapped her arms around him, careful of the coffees he was holding. “ leopold, ” she murmured. “ i’m so sorry. ” she moved to allow him into the house, shutting the door quietly once he was inside. she wrapped an arm around his, leading him to her living room.
THE EMBRACE WAS WELCOME , even though it made him feel like he could hardly breathe . the warlock gave her a soft squeeze , careful not to spill any coffee on her , before he let her lead her toward the living room . ❛ i know . ❜ he whispered , nodding his head . elenora looked up to astra too and he was well aware that this wasn’t easy for anyone that met his little sister . ❛ me too . ❜ because he failed her , didn’t he ? he let her down and now he would not ever get the chance to make peace with it . peace with her .

THERE WERE FEW WITHIN HER COURT that she felt she could trust . faeries loved their games , loved finding and using secrets to their leverage . it taught the queen to be more reserved , more than she ever was before coming to the realm . for a time , cirilla was an open book and she did not mind doing so — even being incredibly blunt at times . things were different now . now , her words could be used against her as easily as a sword to her throat . “ no , i suppose not . “ she hummed , her eyes falling to his owl when she moved for attention . it made the queen softly smile , and she reached out to pet the companion once more for a moment before her eyes fell back to the pup . his tease makes her laugh softly , but duck her head as cheeks burn a little out of embarrassment for not thanking him yet . she clears her throat , honey-coloured eyes looking back at him and she reached her hand up to cup his face . “ thank you . ” it was not a phrase that faeries really used ( the fair folk much preferred to show their appreciation ) , but he was not fey and she grew up with mundane customs that it did not feel odd to use . still , though he did not expect anything in return , it felt wrong not to at some point . the seelie’s attention was once again brought back to the hellhound when she began to nuzzle her and she removed her own from the warlock so she can greet and pet the animal affectionately with both hands . the hound’s piecing blue orbs look at her as it rolled into her . “ she has your eyes . ” the colour just as bright as the glow of his warlock mark . she thought for a moment before smiling . “ i think i’ll name her leora . ”
IT WAS THE PRICE OF BEING ROYALTY , you never knew who to trust . alliances could shift in a heartbeat and loyalty betrayed in the blink of an eye . a hellhound could not replace her advisors at court , but the puppy would grow into a fierce protector , one that obeyed no one but her - one that would make it so much harder to cause physical damage to the queen . leopold’s owl made soft and happy chirping sounds when she received the attention she asked for and he reached out , letting the bird hop on his arm to give cirilla time to focus her attention on the puppy . there was a soft grin on his lips when she blushed , but it softened into a smile once she cupped his face and thanked him . ❛ you’re welcome . see ? that wasn’t so hard , was it ? ❜ and he truly did not expect anything in return - as a matter of fact , he didn’t want anything in return . that was not how a present was supposed to work , after all . his eyes studied her once she used both hands to get acquainted with her new companion and he laughed under his breath once the hellhound opened its piercing blue eyes . ❛ i suppose she does . ❜ they did look like his warlock mark and maybe that was the reason why leo knew that she was the right choice , the very second he saw her . ❛ leora ? light unto me . i believe that works well . ❜ her gift was not just meant to offer protection , after all . it was meant to offer her some light in these dark times , some happiness when she felt alone in her own castle .

SHE HADN’T BEEN DOING MUCH SOCIALISING since everything had happened, mostly keeping out of things. but she did want to actually see her friends. “ thanks, ” vala hummed, stepping through the door. she shrugged, “ out of buttercream and chocolate ! ” she beamed, giggling slightly. “ i have a lot of free time on my hands, ” she added, shrugging again. “ and i brought extra, if you want any for later. just keep them refrigerated and then let them get to room temperature before actually eating them. ” she grinned, holding out the box. “ how have you been ? ” vala asked, head tilting.
❛ THAT SOUNDS DELICIOUS . ❜ mouthwatering , to be exact , especially since she somehow managed to skip breakfast this morning . being a mother was not exactly rainbows and butterflies and sometimes things could get a little hectic around here . ❛ don’t we all ? you seem to be one of the only ones that use their time for something useful . ❜ olivia laughed softly , flicking her wrist to set two plates on the couch table before she gestured for the dragon to take a seat . her smile was wide when she accepted the box , a happy hum coming from her lips . ❛ we’ll see about that . if we don’t eat the extras , i’m sure my daughter would be delighted to see them . ❜ the whitelighter-witch sat down , shoulders lifting up into a shrug . ❛ i don’t know . i’ve been thinking a lot , i guess . being here and experiencing certain things kind of made me wonder about a million things . ❜ but concern washed over her features once she focused her attention on the dragon , right after placing a cupcake on each of their plates . ❛ what about you ? ❜

gabriella found herself as curls up as one could be even inside the home. fuzzy socks accompanied by two weighted down blankets. it was one of the new days she even picked a long dress with sleeves to help with bracing the weather. hearing the door she grew on edge slightly. making her way towards the entrance she peeks at the surprise before opening the door as wide as possible the moment hazel eyes landed on a stroller. “my mia!” it was the first thing she could think when seeing the stroller. “is she in here?” not being able to keep her eyes off the basket the mundane forced herself to look at the other. leaning in to give a kiss before a full embrace. it was not much longer than her entire brightness to change into a serious glance. “meet her godmother?”
OLIVIA BEGAN TO LAUGH when she saw gabriella’s excitement about amelia’s presence . ❛ it looks like you have a new favorite girl in the world . should i be concerned ? ❜ she teased , grinning at the kiss before she returned her embrace . ❛ yes , she is in there . i am not that cruel . ❜ arriving with a stroller without a baby would be rude , especially since gabriella loved being around children . ❛ of course . i couldn’t think of anyone more suited for the job . could you ? ❜ if anything happened , the hybrid knew that gabriella would protect her just as fiercely as she would - and while godparents were a mundane sentiment , it would allow her to sleep just a little bit better if the human accepted , letting her feel like mia would always be safe .

FATE HAD A FUNNY WAY ABOUT IT IN THIS REALM … of course ‘ fate ’ or whatever it could be considered could be chalked up to the very real & powerful spell that was deliberately cast to bring all & every supernatural being here , but where was the fun in that ? no , to the believers , fate had delivered this time around . pik had found their brother , their charge , were free well , were kind of free & maybe it’d brought them to her , as well . it was at least something for the believers to ponder . browns flickered to the book with the metaphorical spotlight on it after she’d encouraged them to take it & the dark-rooted blonde smiled fore nodding . ❛ thank you , ❜ they replied & reached to pull it off the shelf . once in their hand , they scanned the cover over fore bringing it down to hold at their side . they noted the hesitation that preceded her answer , her energy , her demeanor , & then everything made sense . soft eyes stayed on her as she seemed to look away & after the small scoff , pinniki looked down . perhaps they weren’t one that could understand . they weren’t a hybrid , after all . especially one so contrast . but the erstwhile angel empathized , regardless . ❛ if you’re waiting for me to pass judgement onto you , know that i won’t . ❜ they voiced , concerned of what she might be thinking . ❛ the opinion of an exiled angel isn’t one that should be taken into consideration , anyway . ❜
THEIR WORDS CAME AS A SURPRISE . her whole life , people passed some kind of judgement . they feared or despised her . they want to possess and control her . they were fascinated and yet , they wanted to keep her at a safe distance . there were many reactions to the whitelighter-witch , but none of them were free of judgement . she studied them , curiosity written all over her face - until she heard their next words . ❛ why do you say that ? ❜ she asked , her tone much softer than before . it was rare for her to encounter whitelighters and angels , both , and she never met an exiled angel before , but ... she knew enough about heaven to understand that it wasn’t the worst thing in the world . much the opposite . many angels were better off without their connection to heaven , as long as they could sustain themselves . her emerald eyes stayed on their face as she battled the urge to reach out and squeeze their arms - the hybrid did not want to overstep any boundaries , but she could not believe that they made this statement . ❛ everyone has a right to have an opinion . it matters . you matter . ❜ and she did not even need to know the whitelighter any better than this to know that it was the truth . they were important , with or without a heavenly grace .

“yup. i definitely think that you would stalk me. you don’t have to though. i would just give you my location at all times if you asked or even hinted at wanting that.” she teased back even if there was complete truth in her statement. if anything it would make her more comfortable if the darklighter was able to know where she was. swimming her way towards the edge she propped herself up to watch as he undressed and began feeling the warmth of the water. “okay..” she began when he questioned her. a smirk growing the moment he mentioned how tiny she was. becoming larger as he got his question out. “simple answer. i am very needy and you have spoiled me far too much for my own good.”
THE DARKLIGHTER LAUGHED when she claimed that he would talk her , even though the sound was accompanied by yet another playful roll of his hazel eyes . ❛ oh , you would ? and for what reason would you do that , miss delacy ? ❜ he continued to tease as she watched him undress and he hummed when he finally felt the warm water against his skin , moving closer toward the human . ❛ that you are . you’re very needy . ❜ julian agreed , a chuckle falling from his lips . ❛ so this is my fault now ? that sounds like you want me to stop spoiling you . ❜

perhaps it was in part a good thing. after all, being in this realm meant she’d been able to see kosmo and anastasia again. she couldn’t change the past… and she wasn’t particularly sorry for most of it. but she did care that people she loved had been hurt. even though if she went back, she’d likely have at least gone about things with her mother the same way. but she knew that just because she’d sort of benefited from being here, not everyone would have. her sister’s whole life was uprooted and they had kids who were affected as well. she shrugged, “ i have my moments, ” she offered a wry smile. at least his reaction to her seemed to be going better than she’d really expected. although she’d probably be asking after his family whether cosimo had received her well or not. she nodded, when he suggested they sit. “ it’s already longer than i was really expecting to get, ” she bit her lip, already heading over to the table. “ sorry, i just, i expect you know about everything, ” she waved her hand as if that explained. and she was still pretty surprised about how many friends she’d somehow managed to make and keep since arriving. “ and i don’t think i’m painted well according to anyone’s sides. ” she shrugged as she set her cup down and settled at the table. “ sorry. ” she stopped herself before she drove him to change his mind.
THE ANGEL OFFERED HER A SMILE in return , even though it was very small . ❛ i suppose everyone does . ❜ not a single person in this universe was all good , or all bad . if anyone knew that it was cosimo , who lived for so much longer than most creatures could even imagine . maybe that was the reason why he offered the dragon to have a seat with him , giving her a chance to ask him her questions . ❛ i cannot blame you . ana did tell me everything . ❜ and the angel was a rather protective being . he would never forget the pain on her features as she opened up about the things that happened , or just how long it took to dry her tears and reassure her that everything was going to be okay . still - everyone made mistakes and that included him , just as much as it included anastasia and her sister too . mismatched eyes studied her as they sat down and he gave her a faint chuckle . ❛ i will not lie to you - you weren’t . i suppose my wife won’t be fond if she finds out i spent a single second talking to you . ❜ but a whole lot of time had passed and while people had a hard time changing , situations could change . it only seemed fair to give her a chance , no ?

How could it be so difficult to find an angel? Well, not just any angel… Kosmo was searching for an angel that was particularly good at hiding apparently. Guilt and anxiety had been eating away at his every little fiber, ever since he’d finally realized what had happened between him and Cosimo that night. It was stupid. Such a stupid reason to fight. Such a stupid way of handling things. In the first few days, Kosmo could only hope that the angel would’ve understood that his words were only influenced by rash decisions and way too much fucking alcohol in his system. But when it was almost a week after it all, Kosmo started to think otherwise. And every day after that, he would wake up and gather up enough courage to walk up to Cosimo and apologize for his words and behavior. And every day, he wouldn’t be able to find the angel anywhere. It was almost as if the angel was hiding from him. It was yet another day like that, Kosmo almost getting used to the feeling of nerves and guilt in his stomach, when his eyes finally met those golden locks. In the middle of the Institute’s training grounds? It took him a moment to realize what was going on, what with the shadowhunters groaning on the ground and tapping out, and Cosimo standing not so far away from them. Was he… training with them? Kosmo would lie if the pang of jealousy that dropped into the mix of guilt and nerves in his stomach didn’t fit just right in, but he was able to mask his expression…. for a whole second, before his face contorted into that of a lonely, sad little puppy’s. His hands were tucked into the pockets of his leather jacket as he started walking towards the angel before he would think twice on what he wanted to say, and he could only press out a pathetic little “Can we… talk?”.
EVERYTHING WAS DIFFICULT right now , wasn’t it ? life in the seelie realm was not quite like anything that any of them were used to and cosimo felt like he was making things worse with each passing day . he felt like he was failing his wife and the others that were close to him , so he chose to keep some distance by doing something he never would have done in the mundane world : he agreed to train some of she shadowhunters that were gathering at the institute , desperate to prepare themselves for war . for survival . none of them came close to touching a single hair on his head , of course , but even that was a lesson that had to be learned : you’re not invincible . there is always going to be someone or something that is stronger than you . you need to be smart . ❛ i believe that’s enough for one day . ❜ the angel announced , watching the group of nephilim as they stayed on the ground , groaning and attempting to find the strength to lift themselves up . he turned around , angel blade resting on his shoulder , after he heard kosmo’s voice . it was tempting to ask if they had anything to talk about , but it was that sad , puppy look that made him bite his tongue . stupid emotions . ❛ sure . what’s up ? ❜

A DEEP FAMILIARITY IN THEIR BROTHER’S EYES THEN … as they remained in their own . it was raw , without frailty . it was what made cosimo … cosimo & it had grounded pinniki before time & time again . but it was true … there was something different , something fiercer in them now , too . a boldness , perhaps , that doubled tripled with time . it concerned them , what might’ve called for it , what they hadn’t been by his side for . all that kept them sound was that they were would be now . reassurance endowed the whitelighter & they nodded earnestly in turn to the silent promise . their belief & trust in their brother was & continued to be insurmountable .
it was a question best left for a space more private . pik had considered this , but simply could not help themselves . in response , they took a breath & nodded firmly . ❛ i understand . ❜ the seelie realm was foreign to them , but the fae weren’t . the consequences of exposing a truth were deadly . vision flickered at the mention of his wings & pik looked down briefly , ❛ your wings … ❜ they began in a murmur , collecting themselves & looking back up . ❛ yes , we can travel by your wings . but once we’re there , i want to know everything . ❜ a sore spot , but nothing that couldn’t be waved off for the moment . they’d been gentle with orbing & preferred wings to walking especially if cosi didn’t mind .
COSIMO WAS NOT SO SURE if he deserved their - seemingly unshakable - trust . there were many mistakes that he made , many experiences that forced him to become harder . the playful innocence the two of them used to share was buried a long time ago and a part of him wondered if things could ever be the same again . yet , when he was looking into their eyes , it felt like nothing changed . his love and his trust remained just as strong and perhaps , finding pik would allow him to find himself again .
❛ i promise , i will tell you everything . ❜ and he felt terrible when the other looked down after he mentioned his wings . the blond took a deep breath , allowing his wings to unfold and he stepped closer to them , being way softer than he would have been with anyone else as he wrapped the white feathers around them . ❛ don’t let go . ❜ it was not like the reminder was necessary , but this situation was not easy for cosimo either . he held them close , mismatched eyes resting on their face as he used his wings to get them to the place he called home these days . even after they landed right in his living room , he held on for a moment longer before he pulled back , gesturing for them to sit down . ❛ before we start ... ❜ he sighed , taking a seat as well . ❛ do you want to tell me what happened ? ❜ he had to ask . their story was more important to him than his own , after all ...

WHY WAS IT SO FUCKING COLD ? wasn’t the seelie realm supposed to be the dimension of everlasting spring , or something like that ? well , it seemed like the stories about that were dead wrong - even with multiple layers of clothes , olivia felt like she was freezing . her daughter , however , did not make any fuss after she wrapped her up in her warm winter outfit so that the two of them could make their way to gabriella’s place . amelia seemed to be so comfortable with the weather , she was still sleeping when they arrived and the whitelighter-witch leaned over the stroller to knock on the door , a bright smile on her lips once she faced the mundane . ❛ hi there ! ❜ she chirped , emerald eyes gleaming with happiness . ❛ i hope now is a good time ... i needed a walk and this little one ? wanted to meet her godmother . ❜

— after spending the morning baking enough cupcakes to feed the entire seelie realm, and drinking far more coffee than anyone should ever be allowed to have in a single day vala had finally dragged herself away from her home to go see her friend. with a box of cupcakes in hand because she had to do something with them. so here she was, knocking on olivia’s door with a box of cupcakes precariously balanced in one hand as she found herself glancing around distractedly. she beamed when the door was opened, though, “ hi, i made sheep cupcakes. ” she greeted, holding up the box. “ how have you been ? ” she added, head tilting as she bounced slightly on her feet. maybe she’d had a little bit too much coffee.
AFTER HER LAST ENCOUNTER WITH WAR and yet another near death experience , it seemed smarter to stay at home - at least for a little while . she was still recovering from the sheer force of magic that the horseman used on her and she would be damned if anything like it happened again . it meant that she needed some time to rest and restore her energies , but it made her feel even more excited than usual when the dragon knocked on her door . ❛ vala ! hi ! ❜ she returned her bright smile and she stepped to the side to let her walk in as her emerald eyes lightened up . ❛ wait . sheep cupcakes ? you made actual sheep cupcakes ? ❜ the whitelighter-witch always had such a sweet tooth and it was almost a shame that matthew was out and about with their daughter , so that mia could not see them .

“then what do you want to call it?” the brunette questioned as a single eyebrow rose for a moment. swimming towards the edge of the water she gazed up at the other. her hues focusing on his face as he spoke. the two views she seemed to get the most was of surprise that a mandate was still around or one of prey. thankfully julian didn’t seem to have either of those glistening in his sight. her lips curled into a smirk when he answered. merrily giving a smack to the water in his direction even if she knew that it wouldn’t touch him. “what are you waiting for then? come on in.”
THE DARKLIGHTER SNICKERED when she asked him that question . ❛ i would call it wanting to take a swim and finding you here . do you honestly think i would stalk you ? ❜ he teased , a soft grin playing around the corners of his lips , though he gave her a playful roll of his hazel eyes when she tried to splash the water at him - without actually trying , by the looks of it . julian tossed his clothes to the side and walked toward the water , shaking his head in amusement . ❛ tell me something ... ❜ he started while he made his way into the pool , a slight hum coming from his lips . the water was very warm . it was quite nice . ❛ how can someone this tiny ... ❜ the male continued , pointing at her body . ❛ ... be so , so , so impatient ? ❜

— she didn’t mind the seelie realm so much. other than the being trapped part… but her routines hadn’t changed much, except she didn’t have the income from the bakery in seville, here. but she didn’t really need it. she didn’t really care about alicante, except that it affected kosmo. this was the first time there had been a conflict that she had friends potentially on both sides since… well. and anastasia had kids and they were stuck here too and vala didn’t want anything to happen to them if any fighting broke out. she hadn’t known who’d survived that night and knowing ana was alive and she had a family, all vala cared about was whether her sister’s and kosmo’s families came out of this safe. she’d stayed away because she didn’t want to cause more anxiety, even though she wanted to talk and get to a point where they could maybe at least be friends of some sort. vala still held the anxiety from their first conversation, though, scared that all she’d ever be in her sister’s eyes was the monster that had killed their mother. her lips quirked into a slight smile when cosimo used her full name. even if it wasn’t because he knew she preferred it. it was still nice to hear her name spoken, when she’d started letting everyone just call her vala because she hated correcting people’s pronunciation. “ yes, ” she nodded. even if she mostly came into the town to buy coffee and then leave again, they were bound to have run into each other. she nodded again, “ you’re welcome… the line is just really long… i thought i could save you the time you’d have to wait… ” she rambled, biting her lip. “ how… how are you ? how is anastasia ? how are your children ? ” silver eyes regarded him as she spoke, taking a sip of her coffee after a moment.
THE WORST PART ABOUT BEING TRAPPED wasn’t the seelie realm itself , no . it was the fact that it changed all of their plans - and not for the better . cosimo and anastasia both wanted their son to be born in italy . they finally managed to settle in and build a life for themselves , just how they wanted it to be , and this place ? it shook everything right back up . he also feared for the lives of his children , even though he would protect them with everything he had . given all circumstances , they were considerably safe , but it did not keep his mind from spinning . the price of being a parent . ❛ that is very generous of you . ❜ he told her while she rambled on and the angel wasn’t surprised to hear her questions . it could not be easy for her to be in this situation with her sister - it sure as hell wasn’t easy for anastasia either - but they needed to try to stick together in times like these , no ? he thought about it for a moment before he nodded his head toward one of the empty tables . ❛ we might want to sit down . i have a feeling that conversation is going to take a while . ❜ things were complicated , after all , but he was willing to answer her questions .

as the sight of the male cleared and became more visible she could not help letting out a sigh at herself. recluding back to her place on the ground below the tenseness fell as her composure completely changed. “i just wanted to make sure.” using a hand for support the other rested against their daughter’s back for support. her eyes scanned the grounds unable to relax until she knew there was no one else there. “yes. tense.” she responded honestly before allowing her eyes to settle on the sight of him. “i thought they could use the fresh air. aurora does not seem pleased with this idea. she keeps attempting to curl up. leilani seems content with the outdoors. is everything okay with you?”
THE ANGEL NODDED HIS HEAD when she said that she wanted to make sure . a smart move - at least in general . he narrowed his eyes , concern taking over his features when anastasia continued to glance around . ❛ did anything happen ? something i don’t know about ? ❜ maybe it was just one of those days , though it did not seem like that when she admitted she felt very tense . cosimo didn’t blame her . it was normal to be on edge during a pregnancy and things had not exactly been perfect between the two of them either . ❛ really ? huh . ❜ mismatched eyes flickered to their first born and without much thought , the angel sat down on the ground , gently lifting his child into his lap. ❛ what is that all about , little angel ? you do need some sunlight . ❜ he pressed another soft kiss to her hair and reached for one of her toys to keep her entertained while he shrugged . ❛ i’m fine . ❜ which wasn’t exactly true , but was this really the right moment to have a conversation about their feelings ?

even if she had lost her breath due to the impact the second her eyes matched his own there was a grin unlike any other. “cosimo!” she squealed as her weight relaxed against his own. “what are you doing here?” it was easy to tell the redhead was breathless from attempting to run and find her exit. her mission failing. horribly by the way. it was more difficult than she imagined. “candy ending would be the best. did you know this is a lot of work? i don’t mind putting in the work. we should just be rewarded. everyone loves rewards. what if she did a goodie bag? those are popular. do you know how badass that would be? a maze goodie bag?” she rambled on before finally lifting her gaze in an attempt to figure out where they landed.
A SOFT CHUCKLE CAME FROM HIS LIPS when she realized it was him she landed on , making her squeal . ❛ honest answer ? i was looking for you . i saw you walk in and i decided it is taking you way too long to get back out , so ... ❜ he worried about her . was anyone surprised about that ? his expression stayed soft , though there were clear traces of amusement mixing in as she continued to ramble about maze goodie bags . cosimo slowly started to sit up , pulling her with him so they didn’t stay in the dirt . ❛ like i said . you should suggest it to the queen ... she might agree and grant your wish ... or i’ll give you a goodie bag once you made it out of here . ❜

— she didn’t really care about most of the world’s problems, when they didn’t really affect her. then again, until recently, there hadn’t really been anyone else for her to worry about. but layla’s death was concerning for anyone. stealing the rings could lead to problems that would impact vala’s life. but alicante’s destruction would affect kosmo’s family, especially if they didn’t know who in their family or friends was there. and it wasn’t like she knew if this was going to be another species targeted next. she didn’t think a war would be avoided, and she had friends on either side, she was sure. mostly, though, she was worried about her family. whether they liked her or not. but she would be careful. she was careful about her sister because she remembered the way she’d tried to hide her children, and vala didn’t want to make her feel more on edge than she already might have been. even if vala intended no harm to anastasia or her children and husband. she didn’t want her presence to cause more anxiety. so she didn’t really intend to approach any of them, just… she knew that both her sister and cosimo were powerful enough to protect their family. and powerful enough to do a large amount of damage to vala if they wanted. but when she noticed cosimo enter the cafe and join the queue, she ordered an extra and approached him anyways. “ hello cosimo. ” she greeted quietly, offering the second mug to him.
WHEN THE ANGEL FOUND HIMSELF trapped in this realm , he felt like the quarrel between the clave and the seelies wasn’t his problem . as powerful as he was , he liked to stay out of such matters and he would have been happy to do it yet again - but things were different now , weren’t they ? the death of a horseman , a creature like death itself , was not something that any of them should take lightly . the destruction of the capitol of shadowhunters was far from acceptable either and , at this point , it was rather obvious that none of them could simply choose to stay out of it . they all had to contribute , for better or for worse , but that did not keep him from trying to keep things as normal as possible - for his family’s sake . anastasia was far along to make him feel like her pregnancy was safe , but he did worry about the impact of the seelie realm . his children were developing beautifully , but he could not erase the desire of a somewhat mundane childhood for them , so both him and his wife attempted to shield them as much as possible . an exhausting task , especially in this world - which was precisely why he needed all of the coffee he could get to pull through , even though it was more a habit he built , instead of an actual need . cosimo stepped into the small café , just to quirk an eyebrow when he came face to face with a certain dragon . ❛ vasilkaera . ❜ he greeted . ❛ i suppose it was only a matter of time before we ran into each other . ❜ as endless as the faerie lands were , most people were drawn toward the center of attention . his mismatched eyes fell to the mug in her hands and he hesitated for a moment before he accepted it . ❛ thanks . ❜
