@drippingheart has requested a story : A letter finds itself in Verona's possession — Delivered by hand from a small, rodent-looking curse which disappeared into a cloud of smoke upon completion of the task. Crisp white of envelope and letter and elegant, black strokes of beautiful calligraphy. The contents of the letter  —  ❛ In the case of Getou Suguru's death. Succeed where I have failed, but most of all protect them. Protect my daughters, and keep all of my family away from the clutches of the sorcerers and their elders. I beg of you. Thank you. Thank you for everything. ❜

𝑼𝒏𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒅.

Change of seasons does the soul good ( lo’ the months-long reign of winter fades & so too does its somber chill gnawing away upon the human spirit ; a revival thereafter ensues & we are free , reborn , free — ) .  And Verona herself , however remarkably r e c l u s i v e in part of her exile , does tend to wander off beyond her carefully unkept boundaries / borders to preen within a world come ALIVE AGAIN in the spirit of Spring ( the wicked , too , crave for simple solace , so give her this much , allow her a moment detached from self-made ruin ) .  There is no better space to bask than the park nearby own estate – a quiet place , to be sure – seated upon a bench aligned next to a pond and trail , book in hand ( & what else might this mad woman read but the existentialist philosophy ? ) . 

Verona senses the curse – a prickling , almost , like an internal ward being tripped and resounding through her entirety – before she deigns to acknowledge it.  Though her companion ( a chimeric beast , summoned of own sorrow , festering in own contempt ) rouses long before she does.  His horned head l o o m i n g out of her shadow , crooked maw splitting in a show of teeth as he drags himself from her presence , trying to CONSUME the interloper only to have the rodent bound onto his snout and s p r i n g expertly off of it , landing gracefully beside the woman upon the bench , u n h a r m e d .  Pandora gripes and growls , but does no more than sulk , receding back into Verona’s darkness , his eyes following the interaction from below with a WARY SCRUTINY .

It offers Verona an envelope and no sooner has it completed the task , then it disappears.  Verona blinks a few times , rightly perplexed.  She exchanges a look with Pandora before setting her book aside and opening the letter , reading the fine calligraphy printed therein.  Gilt brows knit together.  For good measure , she reads the words a s e c o n d time before the letter is lowered to her lap and she gazes off in quiet contemplation.  Pandora rises , curling and coiling around her form , large head propping atop hers.  He grumbles – a concerned question spoken only she can perceive – and Verona l a u g h s , shaking her head.  

 ❝ Oh , it’s nothing , ❞ She lies smoothly , ❝ But it does seem as if it will take us a little longer to go home. ❞  Pandora grunt-warbles , his spectral , ever-chaning body stretching , slinking around her shoulder to peer into her face , eyes narrowed and confused , large ears perked upright.  Verona smiles , lifting a hand to lightly stroke his cheek , a gesture that seems to soothe the beast ( if only marginally ) .  ❝ No , we simply … Have a new FAMILY now.  I believe we owe it to them – to h i m , especially – to keep this promise. ❞  The one in the letter , she means ; keep them SAFE , ensure his will is FULFILLED ( she does not know what possessed suguru to grant her such a duty , but there is something to the gesture that fills her with an unfamiliar conviction & comfort ) . But ... WHY HER ?

Clawed thumb smooths over the letter in her lap as she considers the prospect. The thought rises - you're welcome , but I should be thanking you , Suguru - then drifts away just as easily.

❝ And besides , this is about more than loyalty , hm ? ❞  Pandora growls , a disapproving noise , his head shaking back and forth rapidly , tossing off a mess of smoke.  Verona grins at him , grabbing his head , holding it still as she cradles it to her breast like a mother might a petulant child ,  ❝ Hush , now , I did not say LOVE !  Though a family does involve love.  You ought to try it sometime , it would do you some good. ❞

'Talking Walls' (1987)

-watched 5/4/2023- 1 star- on DVD or (Tubi- free)

Happy Ending to this movie but, to my notion, everything else was a bunch of crap!! They put Sybil Danning in this movie in one little shot just showing her for about 2 seconds wearing a bikini.

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Antonio. Tell me, Panthino, what sad talk was that

Wherewith my brother held you in the cloister?
