Zelda wanted to believe Lilia, believe that Faustus was too weak to face them all head on. No, he wouldn't be so bold and foolish; she could breathe easy there. Would she ever be free of that odious man, she wondered. If only they could find a way to remove the mark on him and kill him for good. She had half a mind to find Lilith and see if she knew a way.

She chuckled. Of course she remembered how Lilia had come to be a part of their coven. It had been a fairly bleak hour, she'd note. And she still grateful for what those solitary witches had done for them. She had had no right to ask them for help, she knew, but still they had come through.

"And we needed you." The emotion Lilia was expressing made Zelda feel, what was it, pride? Gratitude. Warmth. It was a soft sort of happiness that brewed within her. "I can't imagine how I would manage without you. And you've become a sort of den mother to the students, I've noticed. You care about them and they need that."

Lilia could understand Zelda's mind turning to Blackwood; apart from the man being completely and violently insane, he had a particularly dark, personal history with Zelda. One that would naturally put the high priestess on guard. But Lilia didn't think that meant he was the one they needed to be worried about here. Not directly, anyway.

"But none of that means we'd have a need to let him in," Lilia reasoned aloud. "He might be a threat, but he's not anywhere near as powerful as he'd need to be for that kind of thing."

Surprised by Zelda's question, Lilia turned and looked at her a moment, considering her answer, and all its complications, in silence.

"I came to this coven when you called us all for help because you had a pagan coven trying to murder you and the entire town," she reminded her. "My experience here started with daunting troubles, having more of the same isn't exactly unexpected," she concluded wryly.

"There's a saying," she continued, "that a coven shares blessing and burdens alike. I might have missed out on those burdens when I was a solitary witch, but I also missed out on the blessings." Thinking on the implications of all, Lilia took a heavy breath as she met Zelda's gaze. " I needed you. My coven."

While Agatha set up their little picnic, Zelda took off her fur and neatly put it out of the way. She had opted to not wear a slip dress, certain that they were far away enough from the others for complete privacy and certain that Agatha would appreciate her lingerie more than she would the slip. She raised a brow at the random comment before remembering Agatha had told her something about wine being involved in the first trial. "I wouldn't waste good wine like that," she quips with a little smirk before reaching out to grab a strawberry and taking a bite.

Agatha grinned into kiss before leaning into the other witches touch. She knows Zelda is right, and opts for the wine. She digs out the bottle along with the glasses and pours them both one. "At least this one we don't have to worry about it being poisoned." She says as she pours their glasses and hands one to Zelda. She also knows with Zelda, it would be a good wine, were with the road it was cheap and disgusting. She also digs through the food spread in the basket as well, taking some out, and spreading it between them, not that that would last long either.

my brain has given up for today, so no writing shall be done but I'll be around

[auntiezelda]

Your portrayal of Zelda is top-notch. I think you really understand her and it really shines through in how you write her. I enjoy your little headcanons and metas about her, it is apparent how much thought and love you put into her. :)

You precious little bean, thank you so much. I'm so glad you like my headcanons/thoughts. Thank you for sticking with me for so long!

You wanna know a fun little detail I absolutely love?

Zelda didn't bother to change her clothes before going to resurrect Hilda. That's how much her sister means to her. And it may seem like it doesn't matter much, but keep in mind Zelda cares deeply about the image she projects. Her clothes are her armor. Yet she doesn't change out of her blood-soaked clothes until after Hilda is back and before they confront the pagans.

I just think it's sweet.

Agatha's gentle touch helped calm her a bit, to which Zelda gave a grateful little smile. She was able to breathe now, and she knew that she was no longer in that horrid nightmare, that none of it had been real. "I was losing you. All of you. Rio and Faustus had made some sort of a deal." The details now were a little hazy.

"No, you didn't." Agatha shakes her head. She had but that didn't matter, Zelda needed her, so sleep in the moment had been the last on her mind. She could also tell the High Priestess was still struggling to center and ground herself so her hand goes to her back and she begins to rub it. "What can I do to help you?" She softly asks.

[auntiezelda]

Placing her glass down, Zelda lights a cigarette but the taste mixed with the memory of that night nearly had her putting it out. Farah certainly had a point; she'd never be able to escape the memory of being gunned down in her own home. And yet what Farah had been through Zelda believed to be worse. It was a brutal way to be killed, after all.

"I wouldn't be adverse to lending a hand when it gets stiff," she replied with a small, warm smile as she reached out once more, sliding her hand underneath Farah's to stroke the spot with her thumb.

"There are times where I hear the sound of breaking bones right in my ear all over again," Farah answered contemplatively after a moment, sitting down next to Zelda. "And sometimes it goes stiff."

She reaches up to touch the back of her neck, rubbing it, as she raises her glass to her lips to take a sip of her drink. "I don't know if it will ever go away. The memories certainly won't." They haunt her even in her sleep, sometimes waking her, but she does her best not to wake Zelda as well when it happens.

[auntiezelda]

Zelda couldn't explain why but hearing of her devotion disappointed her, made her just a little bit sad. Perhaps it was because she had never wished to parent in their style. But she must have found a balance somehow, or else why would her daughter speak so highly of her. All her own parents seemed to do was bemoan her lack of devotion; would they be proud of her future self?

"You sound like my father," Zelda replied with a growing grin. For all the man's faults, he did have pride in their family line, and he was a man of honor. "I suppose we do have a reputation. I'm glad to know that continues." Zelda's smile shifted then. "So going against the Dark Lord.. this is somehow the right thing?"

"Well, I mean, it wasn't easy. You were pretty much the biggest supporter of the Dark Lord in our entire family. No offence, but it could be a little intense," she added, thinking of how often she'd rolled her eyes at yet another of her Aunt Zee's reminders of 'the Dark Lord's will'. In Sabrina's opinion, for a religion that claimed to be all about free will and indulgences, the Churches of Darkness had a lot of a rules, and most of them seemed to only apply to witches and not the warlocks.

"But you did it because you love me, and because I'm a Spellman, and I will always be a Spellman, and Spellmans do what's right. Right?"

Gently, she leaned in to place a simple, sweet kiss to Agatha's lips. "But he's forgiven you for that. Don't dwell on past mistakes, not now that we've been given another chance with them." Stroking the other witch's hair over her shoulder, Zelda gave her small squeeze with her other hand before pulling away and settling further into the pillows she had strewn about. "There's wine in the basket if you like."

She smiled softly at the stroke of her arm. "Thank you. I tried my best. I can say the same for Sabrina, she's lucky to have you." If only Agatha had some like Zelda help her with her magic. She vowed not to be like her mother when she had found about Nicky growing inside of her. "I think my only regret was having him help me lure witches to their death. I know he didn't care for it much, but I still made him do it." She says.

[auntiezelda]

Zelda hated to be wrong but she would concede to being wrong in this instance. Lilia was right, and Zelda wasn't too proud to admit it. There was so much she needed to learn in order to better protect them, it felt daunting to an already ill and exhausted woman. But if Lilia was to be believed, the worst was likely past.

"Warlock flu?" The corners of her mouth began to lift into a small smile. "That shouldn't surprise me," she replied with a quick laugh and a shake of her head. Mistake, she thought as it made her the tiniest bit dizzy. "And I'm sure Hilda is coddling them sufficiently."

Suddenly it occurred to her that she hadn't seen her sister since the day prior. Any amusement upon her face was wiped away. "Have you happened to have seen my sister recently? I presume she's further along in her recovery." Her chipper sister was always somehow the only one to avoid denial.

Lilia gave a small shrug in acceptance, appreciative of the condolences but not exactly sure what to say about it. It was centuries ago, and while it sometimes still hurt as fresh as it did when she was younger, when the memory was triggered, the loss itself was, for the most part, a long time ago. And thankfully she had no gaps from that time; there was no chance she was going to have to live through moments of it again.

"I wouldn't say you were a brat," she reasoned. "But you have been stubborn. The longer you refuse to accept you're ill, the harder it is to recover from it." And that was something all of the coven was going to have to learn, but especially Zelda. Hilda had admitted illness an entire week before her sister had even considered the possibility.

"There are antibiotics now, at least," she added. "And a lot of other things we didn't used to have." Lilia made herself smile, looking at Zelda with reassurance, forcing the lingering pain of the loss of her coven to pass. For now anyway. "I'm pretty confident you'll all be fine; the fever's already broke for some of you. Though the warlocks are still acting as if their symptoms are so much worse," she added, rolling her eyes. "'Warlock flu'."

[auntiezelda]

Zelda looked to the offered vice and contemplated it for a moment before ultimately shaking her head; she needed something a good deal more powerful than a cigarette if she was to make any of this alright in her mind. She smiles somewhat at Agatha's comforting touch but she pulls away just the same. Stepping back, she gives an apologetic but sad look. "I think I need a bit of fresh air and a strong drink." It was a far healthier alternative to what she had done the last time they had had this fight, but she didn't want to bring that up to Agatha.

"You're not." Again she says softly, but she isn't going to start another argument right now, because that's the last thing the other witch needed. "Will one of these help?" She asks she pulls out a cigarette and her holder for it. Hecate knows Agatha would not alright if Nicholas had ever said anything like that to her, so she knows damned well Zelda isn't. She's not sure if shed should, but Agatha's free hand does move to lace the other witches with hers and her thumb begins to rub circles on the top of it.
