@viikingwitch asked: how long has it been since you’ve slept ? @ paige

"I took a nap earlier." Paige says, barely glancing up from her stack of tomes that were spread out all across her dining room table. She was, of course, neglecting to mention that the nap had only been for about 10 minutes, and the last time she slept before that was another nap - possibly over 24 hours ago. Maybe more. She wasn't really keeping track.

She had plenty of other things to keep track of. Like the details of this case that was only growing more complicated because of course it was, as well as the research she promised Elena she'd do for her. Plus one of the girls from the Sabrina School needed her help with something. So did Savannah. And Jaime had also asked for her advice on something...

"It's fine, I have a fresh pot of coffee brewed." she felt the need to give Freya a thumbs up at that. "You want some?"

[wehowl]

Paige can feel her cheeks growing warmer, the warmth spreading into her chest and making her feel all fuzzy. Her smile brightens, and she nods her head equally as serious. “That’s a good point. Wicked witches can wear jackets however they want.” 

She lightly bites her lip as she waits for an answer, and then when Freya speaks, Paige’s smile grows just a fraction wider. LAW ENDEAVOURS. She doesn’t laugh, and she doesn’t blame Freya for not really knowing what Lucas does. Half the time Paige doesn’t even understand what Lucas does, and she works with him. “Lucas is at the office, working with a client with his law endeavours.” A purely non supernatural case because Lucas did need to make money and if he rarely charged supernaturals who needed his help, he could at least charge humans. “Knowing him, he’s probably going to be staying at the office until late - or pull an all-nighter. So you don’t have to worry about interrupting him.” Sometimes Paige wonders if that’s all Freya worries about.

               “Strikingly so.” Freya nods, all serious; if one ignores the fondness in her eyes. “Why, we are a pair of wicked witches. Who would dare tell us how to wear our jackets? Well – my jacket.” Perhaps she enjoys the fact a little too much but it does make the sight even better.

               The offer gives her a pause. So far, things between them have been fun but not that deep. Not yet. But things are happening so soon, so fast, and Freya suddenly remembers her vow not to love ( not to let her feelings be the downfall of someone else she cares for ). Still, she cannot bring herself to pull away. “And Lucas?” she asks, casually, never fully certain if she should regard the sorcerer as competition – with how closely they work together and how lovely Paige is. Freya cannot imagine seeing her every day and not falling for her. “I would loathe to interrupt his … law endeavors.”

@viikingwitch​ asked: ‘ you did a bad thing for a good reason. ’ @ paige

     Paige’s hands are wrapped around the hot cup of tea as she stared down into the dark liquid. “I know.” she says after a moment. “And I would DO IT AGAIN. I just - I’ve never killed anyone before.” Her mind flashed back to Leah O’Donnell, trying to kill her - nearly killing Lucas; trying to take Savannah away - and Paige casting the suffocation spell over and over again until the half-demon was dead. It was the only way out and - Paige didn’t regret it. 

    “Should I regret that I had to kill her?” Paige asked after a moment. Maybe Freya wasn’t the right person to ask, but at the same time she wouldn’t sugarcoat anything. “Because I don’t. Not only did she try to use Savannah, and ruined our lives- but six months before all THIS… she killed my mother.” 

    Would Ruth be disappointed in Paige? Not just for killing someone; but she got kicked out of the Coven; the coven was the only reason her mother decided to have a child - Paige was born to lead the coven and now - NOW - Paige rubbed at her eyes, trying to remove any trace of water. “Savannah is safe and that’s all that matters.”

@viikingwitch​ said: ❝  is this a time for me to listen or fix it?  ❞ @ paige 

            "I don't think you can fix it." Paige said with a sigh, and ran her hands through her curls. "I just don't get it." Listen it was. "Savannah didn't even tell me about a witch hunter. I get she’s a young woman now and doesn’t need to tell me every single problem in her life... but a witch hunter? When I'm a witch and could have potentially been in danger too? And it's not just her. Even Lucas didn't tell me. Adam.” Three people she works with and trusted - but it felt like they didn’t trust her. Or at least didn’t think she was capable enough. She’s not sure what was worse. “But it’s happening more and more with so many things. Hell, even even Elena doesn't call me for help as much anymore. Did I do something wrong?" 

         She almost regrets the question as soon as its out of her mouth, but she doesn't take it back. Instead she drops onto the couch and stares up at the ceiling. "I'm a powerful witch. I shouldn't be side-lined."

[wehowl]

@viikingwitch asked: ❝ you mumble in your sleep. ❞  @ paige <3

"I do?" Her tone is still bleary as she chases away the lingering remains of slumber. She rolls onto her side and rests her head on her hand and smiles at Freya. What a beautiful sight to wake up to. "Did I mumble anything interesting?"

[wehowl]

"I wasn't intentionally sneaking up on you. I just walk quietly-" there's a brief pause- "and I'm short." Really, the amount of people who don't see her just because she's 5'2 is kind of funny. "I did call out to you, but you looked distracted. Probably didn't hear me." Paige said with a gesture to the crowds and ruckus of the New Orleans streets at night. Who knows what that sounds and feels like to a Vampire. "There's not really a metric for 'most powerful witch in the world' - and that's coming from a witch. Like, don't get me wrong, there are some super duper powerful witches out there. I know one who could throw her name in the ring of 'most powerful witch in the world.' But each witch has their own specializations and skills and set of circumstances that actually making that claim would be a logistical nightmare." Paige gave Faith a bit of a sheepish smile. "I'm a bit of a magic nerd and tend to blather on about magic stuff. Don't mind me. We should get drinks sometime and share stories."

As she explains the situation, Paige slowly nods along. Faith is okay, and that's what's important - but as for the rest of that: "Yeah, so, I only got into town like... yesterday and before that I was neck deep in a case to prove the innocence of an Evanidus that was framed for a bank heist - thus I have just a couple follow up questions. Like... Buffy the Slayer? How is she involved? What does GQ mean? I'm assuming your 'insurance policy' isn't something that can be digitized and sent to you as a PDF?" Yeah, that's just a bit of wishful thinking.

"Yeah, and to be extra fair? Gettin' yourself staked because you sneaked on up behind a Vampire Slayer is pretty justified." she counters, shooting Paige a friendly smirk, "Don't take this wrong, but I'm super not scared of Freya. Not for nothin', but the actual most powerful witch in the world full-on hates me and I live to tell the tale." is she kidding? She doesn't sound like she's kidding. Doesn't sound particularly mad, either, but the anxety of being back in Niklaus' orbit must be coming through because it's not long before Paige notices something's off, and voices it.

Faith starts to tuck her stake back up her sleeve and gives the dark street around them a cautious glance, "Yeah, I'm okay. Just would rather be literally anyplace else. Nik's gettin' to be a real issue, and with Buffy in the mix, me being in the Quarter's not exactly safe. If GQ knew I was here he'd shit a brick. Just got something I gotta get. We peeled outta the compound so damn fast we kinda left our insurance policy behind. Just gonna get in, grab it, get gone."

@troubleah asked: Being a nocturnal creature myself, I often find myself in dark alleys or strange places late at night.  @ paige!

“Don’t you have a daylight ring?” Paige questioned with a tilt of her head and brows slightly furrowed. She supposed that, daylight ring or no, it would be easier for vampires do what…… they did, at night time. Paige tried not to think about it too much. She couldn’t judge them for doing what they had to, to survive, but that didn’t mean she was entirely comfortable with the notion.

“Is there anything specific you’re doing in this dark alley tonight, or is it a total coincidence that we’re both in the same strange place on the same night?” 

Paige, for one, was here for an off the record witchy black market exchange. A meeting that was supposed to be happening very soon. Where she was supposed to be alone. Without a vampire companion. How could she politely ask Leah Mikaelson to go away?

[wehowl]

if she had the means to, would paige ressurect her mother?

If you asked her this any time in the nine months, three weeks and two days after her mothers death, Paige’s answer would have been a resounding YES. She needed her mother, she was struggling, she didn’t know what to do. Becoming the guardian of a traumatised twelve year old as a traumatised twenty-two year old hadn’t been in her plans, neither was being the coven leader at such a young age. Especially when the coven elders didn’t approve of her choices and gods, she felt so LOST!

If Ruth was here, she’d know what to do. If her mother was here, everything would be okay.

Now, though, after everything she’s been through and learned, Paige’s answer has changed. You could call it many things. Growth, moving on from trauma, acceptance of her mothers death. You could call it this, but they weren’t the reason why.

After everything, getting kicked out of the coven (the only reason ruth had a daughter, the whole reason paige was born, was so she would one day lead the coven), getting her home burned down, killing (in defence of her loved ones, sure, but she still used her magic to take a life), leaving, marrying a sorcerer, learning aggressive magic, her connections to the Cortez Cabal, even the way she’s raised Savannah.

Paige couldn’t bring her mother back because she couldn’t handle the idea that her mother would be SO VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HER.

[wehowl]

@asryr asked: "I've been a prime suspect in over thirty murder cases." for paige?

The pen that had been taking notes came to a pause as Paige allowed herself to process this fact. Just let it sit. Process, okay, now time for questions. She laid the pen down and tilted her head as she looked at Astryr. “Are these currently ACTIVE cases, or over a span of time?” There’s also the question of did she do it?

enduringlystoic​:

   ❝ it belongs to my sister. ❞ he tells her, one brow arching just a little at her line of questions.  ❝ and she would like it back. so, shall we see if it’s in your possession? ❞ that, or he’ll take a look himself, and that won’t be quite as relaxed. 

          “that doesn’t actually answer - you know what, never mind.” she relents with a sigh, brushing her fingers through her hair. “i have a lot of grimoires. what does it look like?” she walked towards her a bookshelf, kneeling at the bottom stand of it, waving her hand as she muttered an unlocking spell and opened up the hidden compartment. inside were several grimoires ( and her anxiety spiked; what if he wanted to take all of them? ) and she carefully took out two of the oldest ones she had and showed them to the Original. “one of these?”

[wehowl]

@viikingwitch asked: "Mobsters are part of a mob. And so you'd think lobsters would be part of a lob. But life just isn't that simple." @ paige <3

Paige can’t help the giggle that bursts out of her at Freya’s statement. “Maybe - maybe Lobsters are Mobsters. They’re just undercover so they changed one letter of their name so no one would suspect a thing.”

Oh Freya, you sweet summer child....

[text: Freya 💜] Many many people dare to lie on the internet. Some even make careers out of it. What are you looking for online? Maybe I can help?

@thisbloodlust asked: 'was that what you expected?' // for Paige because lol

“To tell the truth, I didn’t really have any expectations.” She’s heard the stories of course. Her mother had warned her, years ago, to never ever cross paths with the Originals. Of course back then they were nothing but legends, stories, myths. Who knew if they were real, who knew if they were just the supernatural’s version of the bogeymen. Naturally, they were real and Paige was dating the Mikaelson witch; and that entailed meeting her family. A scary prospect that had nothing to do with them being thousand year old original vampires. "Just that you're Freya's family and she cares a lot about you all."
