#I love you. I love you so much and this too shall pass

[molinxsdeviento]

Cristobal had heard alright. Cristobal with Juan's help had been the one starting that mess of Villefort to begin with and was quite proud of how well the plan was going in that particular direction. "Oh I have heard but I pay no attention to rumors about friends, though it's good to be on the know, isn't it?" he smiled at the count politely wanting to see him choke in his own blood--but death would be too good for Fernand. No, he had to suffer the pains he had inflicted on others in his own skin. And bit by bit he shall. "Your wife is wise as always I see," he offered as an olive branch--not that he needed one at this point, he doubted Claudia would ever speak to him again.

It was clear with every word that this was less a trap and more Fernand's way to measure him still. Cristobal had truly believed he had gotten in the belly of the beast but he was yet to pass Fernand's barriers it seemed. Very well.

"I would gladly do so young man," he added looking at the young man who was so much like him at that age, so full of light, of love for life, of courage--so naive. He could only hope that his vengeance wouldn't taint him. "Oh I'm sure he does," he retorted, that little fire in his eyes once again. He needed to have words with her again he decided on the spot, he just needed to figure out exactly how. "Let the lad speak his mind," he commented with a shrug. "I would love to have a fencing match with you. Or several, I do know a few tricks that could come in handy in the odd duel. Not that those are allowed anymore," he teased winking to his son. Oh, his son, how different would things be if he hadn't spoken of that letter. Foolish young man he was. "Send word for me sometime this week and I'll gladly set things up at the Manor. We'll make a day out of it," Cristobal finished smiling at his son before accepting a drink from another butler.

His view in politics. That was a loaded question if it ever was one. "My political views? They're... flexible," Cristobal said with a hearty laugh, patting Fernand on the back when the man set his hand over his shoulder. The reflex was almost familiar, a ghost of a life past. "I believe in money and influence, who is in charge is merely a formality these days, isn't it?"

Claudia could see the smile upon Dante's face was genuine. From what Henry told her, Dante was in awe of Cristobal at the hunt. How strange it was, that father and son did not know each other yet had such a connection. "Just us, I'm afraid. Villefort was set to attend, but he cannot make it sadly." Fernand spoke as if he was trying to hide his embarrassment. "I don't know if you heard, but poor Villefort is trying to mend a mess that happened recently." Fernand continued to speak, before Claudia pinched his arm. "Dear, we should not speak ill of people who are not here. Please, make yourself comfortable." Claudia ignored the sensation of his kiss on her hand. The tension between the two threatened to drown Claudia, if she did not exercise care.

"You should join us again next time!" Dante spoke up this time, now walking at the Count's side. The young man expressed interest in Cristobal's technique, even asked to have a fencing match with the Count. Claudia chuckle. "Dante, don't talk the Count's ear off." The young man rubbed the back of his neck.

"Forgive my son, he's very curious." Claudia said, looking Cristobal in the eye. "He takes after his father." The comment was perhaps ill-mannerd, but the anger from their previous meeting still hunkered down in Claudia. "That he does!" Fernand threw a friendly arm on Cristobal's shoulder. "Say, old man, what are your views on politics?"

[discendia]

thinking of you, like when a wife waits for her husband from the war. ( hope you are getting that well deserved rest !!! )

My dear,

I'm writing these words to you from the camp. I've survived this week, a true miracle. There was a time when my life was hanging by a thread; embarrassment (and a tank malfunctioning) almost took my heart to the other world. Fortunately, my heart belongs to you, and the oldest friend couldn't find it on me.

I successfully finished all my tasks, yet I have not received any word from my superiors about the main project. It's been three months now. I guess I can still enjoy some time far from the front line.

Even so, the things I've seen during these conflicting times have mined my mind. The lines and words that flowed so much now lie still behind a dam. Only when I squint and strain my vision I get to see some color. I can only hope to regain a fraction of who I was before.

I think of you, my dear, everyday, and I sincerely hope this letter finds you well and in a safe place, where you can smile as I've always loved to see you do.

Forever and always yours,

Your husband from the war.

i think it’s kind of hysterical that - out of any piece of media that could possibly have a straight relationship that passes the sniff test for me - it’s this one, considering like *gestures to the misogyny*

I’m getting bummed out… why does it feel like we are 28th in the league 🥲🥲🥲🥲

The joys of "Win 2, Lose 2" + injury woes + streaky offence due in part to injury woes + paul wanting to play musical chairs also because of said injury woes but also hey man i think its time to put sashew line back together or swaggy back up with the sunrise welcome committee (but i cant say im particularly that mad about it considering lundy looks REALLY good with swaggy [refer to his goal tonight] but also i miss luosty-lundy-mackie so badly its crazy) that makes you think this team is worse off than they are but i promise you we are playing a lot better than the sabres
