#♠: v: shadowed intent covers a tender soul — post gmg

@aeceso​ liked for a starter

her living situations were never what one would call normal and zilla had come to accept that. it would only be for a brief period and she had read books where the setting was “protagonist lives with a relative they don’t know for a time”. sometimes the relatives didn’t matter but zilla had come to like the ones that explored family dynamics more. she wasn’t sure how it applied to real life, though. 

“um.” zilla’s voice was quiet in the calm morning. “thank you for the tea, ms. porlyusica.” she was unsure what to call this woman. she was master ivan’s mother. and master ivan....zilla felt a rush of affection. he did adopt her. perhaps zilla was too formal? but they never met. hm.

dearest friend,

you said no demons and than went on to describe such demonic behavior. i cannot grasp at any point why that man thought he was ever in the right? for being allergic to cats? shall we throw down a red rug and ask him to walk it while we call upon sorceror weekly to take pictures and interview him for it? truly. the audacity of some people. i am sorry you had to go through that — dad sometimes says that people like to be loud instead of right and this man is a clear example of that.

i have taken artistic liberties and drew the assailant for you. you may do whatever you like with it, even if it's to use for ludwig's litter. i hope ludwig has recovered from such an incident, his hearing is better than most humans'.

i ended up going to delphinium with dad! it was quite beautiful and prue's magnificent showcase was wonderful! we went after dad's meeting. during it i found the cutest little cat cafe and got to enjoy a latte, a muffin and some cats. one of them enjoyed rubbing up against my pencils as i sketched. i wil show you all the sketches when you return.

also, when you return, perhaps we can go to anemone town together? it sounds amazing and i think i would like to enjoy that with you. you can be the guide.

Dear Zilla,

Still no demons, but some other inconveniences have popped up. One of them being that despite me booking a compartment for myself and telling the railway gentleman that I’d be travelling with a cat (and buying a special ticket for said cat!), there was trouble when this one man wanted to be seated in my compartment, only to throw a fit about Ludwig’s presence. He is allergic, you see. And I should not be allowed to have a cat on the train. It was a mess, despite all my precautions.

Sometimes, I cannot help but hate existing in public.

I agree that Delphinium has a vintage flair. In fact, I even believe that there are a couple stores where you can buy excellent vintage clothes, tucked away in the smaller streets. As far as recommendations go, it really depends what experience you are interested in. Era has a few wonderful places for tea. Crocus is, well, Crocus—it is beautiful and fantastical, but full of rune knights and royal guards. Oh!! Maybe you’d enjoy Anemone Town? It is by the sea. It is quite famous for its water park. And no, I don’t mean that there’s a famous public pool—it’s a park for water plants. I once passed by on my way back from a job and it is stunning. Especially at night / after dark when the bioluminescent flowers glow.

Yours,

F.
