ALMOST IS NEVER ENOUGH
date: february 27, 2017
time: 1:39 am
location: maeve’s house
open: @maevepetre
She doesn’t drink–not like this. With her head propped up on one hand and the other wrapped loosely around an empty glass, Catherine hardly looks like herself. The woman’s usually clear azure eyes are glazed over and less than alert; her movements are delayed as if it takes her just a few more seconds to truly grasp what’s going on around her. She rarely searches for solace at the bottom of empty shot glasses, but desperate times call for desperate measures; what began as a simple round to build up her courage became rounds to muddle her mind, to delay the inevitable. 
She hasn’t spoken to Maeve Petre in what feels like years. The last conversation of substance was through stoic messages that ended with an apology (and Cat still doesn’t know if it was one she deserved). Since then, sparse exchanges garner halfhearted responses; Catherine occasionally asks about the younger soldier’s father and (whether it be out of genuine concern or politeness, she doesn’t know) Maeve asks about Regina. They’ve hardly discussed much of anything else, and certainly not themselves.
When the barkeep moves to refill her glass, she shakes her head and slowly pushes it away–a telltale sign that she’s had more than enough. Cat doesn’t know how much she’s had but knows if she drinks anymore she’ll struggle even more trying to get to her destination (if at all possible). Sliding from her stool with a mumbled display of gratitude to the man, the youngest Daly leaves her money next to her glass–too much for what she’s consumed, but he has been good to her all night–and exits the seedy bar. 
Tumblr media
Catherine doesn’t exactly know how she remembers the way to the Petre house (it’s painfully obvious that she can make it there in any state of mind), nor does she care. She stumbles and the palms of her hands slam against the door in a weak attempt of catching herself. "Passerotta," Cat drawls slowly, forehead pressed against the cool door, "can we talk? Mi manchi terriblmente." I miss you terribly. Ironically, the words roll easier from her drunken tongue now than they have in weeks. Her hand balls into a semblance of a fist and she tries--really, she tries--to knock on the door as she continues, "Are you home, cara mia?"

1) Okay, I'm late (bc rl sucks), but I'm back and I'll gradually address everything. "Also do not feel any pressure to respond to my multiple essays! I understand completely!"The same goes to you, bc I feel like I'm bothering you too much. That being said, I truly enjoy talking to you. Not only you offer fresh/perceptive insights into the characters' minds (which made me a. reconsider scenes and motives, b. wanna rewatch S1 --some scenes you're commenting on are SO fuzzy in my head-- mind you,
2) 2) I’m already rereading the book), but you also provide such hilarious, sarcastic lines (some of them are absolute killers).
3) personalities” I know you have an inkling of who’s who. :D But damn, that ‘lesbianing’ bit had me giggling. Kudos, fellow anon. Since we’re on the subject, I have another question about your fic (if you don’t mind): is it post s2 or s1/s2 canon divergent? b) “Add horrid fangirls to that and it’s a big ass no lol.” Ugh. Fandom smh manages to sour my opinion of characters/ships/series I personally like. Especially when fans start pestering the creators to cater to their whims or harass actors
4) or start ship wars. Double ugh. c) “So, that’s the Mass Effect connection!” Two more similarities: i. Mass Effect’s Miranda Lawson got a lot of fandom hate back then (even though she was a famous character), just like Serena. ii. She has a back-and-forth, bickering (hateful but not THAT complex) relationship with another female character. d) “I have seen Westworld! Well, okay, just the first season. I got too tired/confused to get past the 2nd season premiere.” Oh, sorry. I shouldn’t have
5) assumed. Believe me when I say it’s a good thing you stopped watching when you did. The overall quality of the series remained pretty much the same (e.g. acting, cinematography, direction), but, oh boy, some new plot twists (which I usually like) are SO OVER THE TOP in order to impress (?) the audience. It’s reached a point where some characters are unrecognizable, bc they’re servants to the plot. Maeve has a lot bigger arc in S2 and Newton is thriving (imo, S2!Maeve >> S1!Maeve), but so is
6) Strahovski/Serena. :D e) “don’t go around bitching at people who say shitty things or stuff I don’t agree with, or blocking anybody who doesn’t like her."Ah, another thing we have in common. There were times I’ve been blocked by fandom people (with beautiful edits) that I NEVER interacted with (except for maybe reblogging from each other). That’s not me complaining. Like I said, each to their own.I just find this phenomenon funny at times. Story time. Once, an out of nowhere anon (whose msg I
7) didn’t publish, bc drama is SO not my thing) said they’d block me, bc of an uploaded gifset for a canon pairing (which wasn’t to their taste apparently) that was tagged as #[series]edit (although the ship!portmanteau was right there, too, so that people could easily block it). I remember being like: "Okay. Good for you, anon!” LOL. f) “I dunno if you see spoilers but there’s one about them.) She needs therapy so much more than a cutesy feelgood storyline.” I did NOT actually, but feel free to8) enlighten me.
——–
I am sort of back! (RL does get in the way of incredibly lengthy essays about fictional TV shows!) NO APOLOGIES NECESSARY!! I am just so happy I get to read all these excellent thoughts, analyses, and feelings you have! (and that we clearly share lol, including the sheer amusement of your writing!). I really want to write more at the mo but my hands are doing that weird old lady thing where you can see the veins popping out and it makes me v uncomfortable to look at. Especially since I have little baby hands. I hate it.
Ok, I’m now kneeling on the floor and the computer is on the kitchen island. This is better. I cannot see the top of my hands. 
SO. Where was I? OW. my kneeeessss. This is a bad idea.
I’m so lost. Fic question. right. It’s post-S2. Like… quite post-S2. I didn’t even deal with HOW or WHY June is back in the Waterford’s house tbh cos I can’t be bothered to sort that out. (Thanks, show.) So, it just assumes that for some reason, she’s back. Which, if the BTS pics/video is to be believed, that’s the case anyway. 
Fangirls (and boys ofc) ruin so much for me. Even if I like the same thing initially. Ugh. Then sometimes they’ll annoy me so much that I end up liking the complete opposite of what they like. Dunno why.
No worries about Westworld! It’s a reasonable assumption! Please don’t apologise, my friend. I do agree that Thandie was very good in S1. IIRC, her character was my fav (other than Clementine lol). Yvonne S2 was just next level shit to me. Like, what you’re saying makes me wanna give S2 WW another shot but when shows get overcomplicated, they’re not much fun anymore when I’m like “BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING LOL”. 
>> “There were times I’ve been blocked by fandom people (with beautiful edits) that I NEVER interacted with (except for maybe reblogging from each other)”
EXACT SAME. It was actually in THT fandom most recently lol. Like, I reblogged one of their pretty edits once. Ever. I didn’t even say anything snarky or bitchy or rude in tags. I don’t think I added any commentary at all. Next thing I know? BLOCKED. Never interacted with them in any way whatsoever. (Typical N/J fangirl lol.) It’s the strangest behaviour and it’s that kind of thing that sours me towards sects of fangirls, and sometimes even the characters they like. Maybe that’s just petty but I think it actually just reinforces pre-existing feelings I had towards the character or pairing.) The only blogs I block are ones that are gross, RP, or spam. (RP blogs is a long history of them stealing and spamming and adding awful commentary to my posts way back in the day, so I just… block em. lol.)
>> “they’d block me, bc of an uploaded gifset for a canon pairing (which wasn’t to their taste apparently) that was tagged as #[series]edit (although the ship!portmanteau was right there, too, so that people could easily block it). I remember being like: “Okay. Good for you, anon!” LOL.”
Oh. My… WHAT. There’s a very odd sense of entitlement here that seems so peculiar to me. Like, that’s what the blacklisting feature is for? I’ve put every version of my most despised pairings, characters, etc. and it works? Very rarely does it miss on. I guess we’re just dramaphobic, mature old fandom farts. Like, “Kids, let me sit you down and tell you about this site before you could block things. Before even XKit was invented…” Not to mention every other website ever lol.
HOLY GROSS… I just got up and a centipede fell off me!! WHYYYYYY. THIS IS WHY I DON’T SIT ON THE FLOOR. (we live near the beach/woods so we get lots of bugs no matter how clean we are…) no more painful kneeling for me i guess…
OKAY. Spoilers. It’s not much but other than the June in Martha costume (which was shown in the teaser Superbowl trailer anyway by now)… there were set pics of Emily, Sylvia, Nicole, and Luke all happy and smiling. IIRC. I can’t find the post anymore. So it may not have been in character. But I dunno… it all seems… too easy? Like, I’m glad Emily is safe but omg. She’d better not be all hunky dory “I stabbed a lady and threw her down the stairs, murdered another, and ran a dude over with a stolen car, but now I’m Canada, I’m all healed!” (Not including the heart attack/crotch kicking here cos that was fair play to Emily. She deserved that.) Like, honestly, as much part of me was like YESSSS at all of those, still… that’s grievous bodily harm with intent to kill, flat out murder, and vehicular manslaughter. For Emily to do those things, you don’t do those crimes without being really broken and damaged. And… yeah. That doesn’t magically disappear when you hop over a border.

🛳 *TURISMO* ✈️
🎒 *Conheça Campos do Jordão-SP:* Ao longo dos anos a cidade ganhou títulos e slogans como: - A Suíça Brasileira - A Cidade dos Festivais - O Melhor Clima do Mundo, com uma natureza exuberante e um clima reconhecido internacionalmente como um dos melhores do mundo. A cidade possui excelente infraestrutura na Gastronomia, Hospedagem, Compras, Lazer e Eventos Culturais. Privilegiada por estar entre as grandes capitais de São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Belo Horizonte, garante a grande frequência dos turistas nacionais e internacionais, dessa forma o turismo é responsável por toda a economia do município. Na alta temporada, a cidade chega a receber mais de um milhão de turistas. Com um excelente clima de montanha, a cidade é formada por três Vilas: Abernéssia, Jaguaribe e Capivari. No ponto mais alto de Campos do Jordão, a temperatura chega a 0ºC. A cidade possui muitos programas para aquecer os turistas: comer fondue, tomar chocolate quente, reunir-se com os amigos e apreciar a paisagem alpina da Vila Capivari. O Portal de entrada para os visitantes foi feito em estilo alpino, é um dos cartões de visitas da cidade, com exposições de produtos e serviços das empresas da cidade. O sistema multimídia ali instalado fornece aos turistas, completas informações sobre a cidade. As principais atrações turísticas são: Horto Florestal, Teleférico, Museu Felícia Lerner, Gastronomia, Pedra do Baú e a Estrada de Ferro. O Pico do Itapeva é um dos pontos mais altos do Brasil.

Em julho, ocorre o Festival Internacional de Inverno, que é considerado o maior evento de música erudita da América Latina. A cidade é palco do Festival Internacional de Inverno de Campos do Jordão, um dos mais importantes festivais de música erudita do Brasil há mais de 36 anos. São realizados mais de 40 espetáculos no Auditório Cláudio Santoro e em outros pontos da cidade. *Fonte: Guia do Turismo Brasil*
📚 *FIQUE SABENDO...*
*...O Brasil vai mesmo do Oiapoque ao Chuí?*
⁉️ Não. A expressão surgiu no século 18, quando as fronteiras ao norte do país ainda não tinham sido definitivamente delimitadas. O extremo norte do Brasil é, na verdade, o Monte Caburaí, em Roraima, a 84,5 km do Rio Oiapoque. O local foi desbravado em 1930 por uma expedição organizada pelo Marechal Cândido Rondon. Quanto ao extremo sul do país, a afirmação está correta: o município de Chuí fica na fronteira com o Uruguai. *Fonte: O Guia dos Curiosos*
📖 *BÍBLIA:* Foi para a liberdade que Cristo nos libertou. Portanto, permaneçam firmes e não se deixem submeter novamente a um jugo de escravidão. *Gálatas 5:1* 🙏

             ❝ we are not the first who with best meaning have incurred the worst. ❞
                                                                                                                     -cordelia
                                                                                                                     king lear act v, scene iii
                                              basic information
FULL NAME: catherine elisabeth daly PRONUNCIATION: cath-rin // ih-liz-uh-beh th // dey-lee MEANING & REASONING: 
catherine (origin: france // meaning: pure, clear, innocent)
the last of the daly girls was the biggest surprise: tiny at birth (smaller than regina and grace) with bright blue eyes and hair of gold--the perfect contrast to her sisters. her parents were enthralled, her sisters were less so (because she was just another undeserving person to steal the attention, the gifts, the fawning). her gentle disposition earned her a loving nickname of principessa from her father and golden-girl from her sisters, but all was good for the mild-mannered catherine.
elisabeth (origin: greece // meaning: devoted to God; God is satisfaction)
she’s loved the cathedral for as long as she can remember, long before she learned of the underground business that runs rampant when the capulets think God is not watching. silly capulets, God sees all.  even still, the place is still holy to her. her family’s pew (more hers now than ever) still gives her fond memories: sitting on her father’s lap with a grin or a head bowed fervently in prayer or asking for God’s forgiveness when she did wrong.
(Father, forgive me.)
daly (origin: ireland // meaning: one who is present at the assemblies; counselor)
catherine’s the angel on the shoulder to some, a pesky fly on the wall to others. regardless of how she’s viewed by her fellow capulets, she is ever-present (lest her absence be taken as an act of dissent) and always alert, always absorbing information that could be of some use later on. they may not think she always deserves to be in the room where it happens, but the littlest daly is as proud as she is determined; she’s hellbent on always trying to get her voice heard.
NICKNAME(S): santa, cat, daly three (by tiberius capulet), kitty-cat (by grace daly), catrina (by mikael falco), kitten (by easton craven), principessa (by louis daly), colomba (by valentina gallo) PREFERRED NAME(S): catherine, cat BIRTH DATE: march 7, 1998 AGE: 20 ZODIAC: pisces GENDER: female PRONOUNS: she/her ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: biromantic SEXUAL ORIENTATION: bisexual, though she leans more towards the heterosexual end of the spectrum NATIONALITY: italian ETHNICITY: irish-italian CURRENT LOCATION: verona, italy LIVING CONDITIONS: incredibly comfortable; catherine has a home penthouse-apartment along one of verona’s most-coveted locations. she’s amassed a rather telling collection of decor that attests to her taste and who she is  TITLE(S): la santa di verona, soldier
                                              background
BIRTH PLACE: verona, italy HOMETOWN: verona, italy SOCIAL CLASS: upper middle class/upper class EDUCATION LEVEL: completion of upper secondary education (comparable to a university-prep school) at age 18; here, she focused on interior design FATHER: louis daly MOTHER: simona daly (née: moretti) SIBLING(S): grace daly, regina daly  BIRTH ORDER: third CHILDREN: n/a PET(S): n/a for now, as she’s actively deciding what breed of dog she wants OTHER IMPORTANT RELATIVES: catherine considers the following to also be important family members--theodora moreau, bellamy santo domingo, maeve petre, easton craven, valentina gallo (in no particular order) PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIPS: a couple of long-term relationships while still in school which ended with not a bang, but a whimper; afterwards, short romantic flings with both men and women, though only a few ever included sexual acts ARRESTS?: n/a PRISON TIME?: n/a
                                  occupation & income
PRIMARY SOURCE OF INCOME: capulet business; the littlest daly does what’s asked of her to the best of her abilities, and surprisingly, she succeeds enough for this to be her top breadwinner SECONDARY SOURCE OF INCOME: interior design; when she’s not involved in any underground crime, catherine is often sought out by people who need help with turning a house a home TERTIARY SOURCE(S) OF INCOME: louis capulet (which, again, is capulet money); she’s daddy’s little girl and though she’d never outstretch her hands in a display of greediness, she knows louis will make sure she remains comfortable and well-taken care of (should the need every arise, that is) APPROXIMATE AMOUNT PER YEAR: an incredibly comfortable amount; almost so much to where it’s uncomfortable for a woman like catherine CONTENT WITH THEIR JOB (OR LACK THERE OF)?: cat’s not content with her current job or the work she’s involved in, but she knows better than to be entirely ungrateful. the best way for her to reconcile her work sector and position would be to become an emissary. PAST JOB(S): babysitter; part-time secretary SPENDING HABITS: controlled and often more focused on others than herself; catherine considers herself a rather talented gift-giver and hardly bats a last at the price of things if it’s for someone she loves (because, of course, you can’t put a price on happiness) MOST VALUABLE POSSESSION: a gift from her mother, a moretti family heirloom; it is a dainty opal engagement ring passed down from generation to generation (x)
                                       skills & abilities
PHYSICAL STRENGTH: 6/10--she’s more lithe than bulky; she is not built for war, but for civility. however, the capulets insisted on toughening her up, on turning catherine from porcelain, to ivory, to steel--to the best of their abilities, that is OFFENSE: 3/10--the saint of verona detests violence. because of this, her offensive skills are rather lacking--she certainly knows better than to get into fights unarmed (but even when armed, she’s, at most, ranked at 5/10) DEFENSE: 8/10--though she believes her strongest defense involves diplomacy, pens, and words, she’s not useless when it comes to physical defense; tiberius taught her to take hits best suited for using a pen and her words as her defense, catherine daly is, surprisingly, durable;  SPEED: 9/10--cat be nimble, cat be quick; grazie a Dio for her innate speed, otherwise she’d be long gone INTELLIGENCE: 9/10--though others would vehemently say otherwise, catherine daly is a person to take note of, both in and out of violence; she’s terribly bright and quick to notice patterns in a person’s fighting style that she--if given enough time--can try to exploit ACCURACY: 5/10--practice makes perfect, but she wants no parts in being fine tuned into a machine of war; because of this stubbornness, her accuracy is lacking AGILITY: 7/10--she’s light on her feet, which is probably one of the best things she’s got going for her--from a soldier’s standpoint, of course STAMINA: 7/10--but constantly dodging and taking hits is taxing; though her stamina is much better now than it was two years ago, don’t expect her to evade her opponents every single time without exhaustion and missteps TEAMWORK: 10/10--it makes the dream work; catherine finds that she thrives in situations where she is not alone because there is always someone willing to dirty their hands with blood more so than displaying diplomacy TALENTS: creatively coming up with more civil ways of doing capulet business; it’s frowned upon, but revenue is the mob’s lifeline and she manages to pull her weight SHORTCOMINGS: aversion to fighting (armed or unarmed); bullheadedness LANGUAGE(S) SPOKEN: italian, english, conversational german, few spanish phrases (typically of endearment, only towards maeve petre) DRIVE?: yes JUMP-STAR A CAR?: barely CHANGE A FLAT TIRE?: no RIDE A BICYCLE?: yes SWIM?: yes PLAY AN INSTRUMENT?: yes; catherine learned how to play the piano as a young girl PLAY CHESS?: no; but if you’d like to play a game, she enjoys mancala and spades BRAID HAIR?: yes; now, you wonder what kinds of braids? french, dutch, fishtail, and waterfall TIE A TIE?: yes PICK A LOCK?: no
                     physical appearance & characteristics
FACE CLAIM: saoirse ronan (x)(x) EYE COLOR: blue HAIR COLOR: blonde HAIR TYPE/STYLE: medium length and wavy (x) GLASSES/CONTACTS?:  n/a DOMINANT HAND: ambidextrous; however, she favors her right hand because when she was in grade school, a classmate told her that left-handedness was somehow connected to il diavolo and she was too scared to ask her parents if the claim was true HEIGHT: 5′6 WEIGHT: 134 lbs BUILD:  soft hearts aren’t the first line of defense when it comes to business; catherine is more lithe and limber than she is toned and taut with muscles EXERCISE HABITS: training with tiberius capulet;  SKIN TONE: fair-skinned with an almost-angelic glow TATTOOS: a few little ones that are artfully placed where no one can see them unless she wants them to--wouldn’t you love to know what they are?

DIET: pretty much anything except tofu; almond milk > cow milk PHYSICAL AILMENTS: n/a
                                                 psychology
JUNG TYPE: infj - the advocate
“INFJs indeed share a unique combination of traits: though soft-spoken, they have very strong opinions and will fight tirelessly for an idea they believe in. they are decisive and strong-willed, but will rarely use that energy for personal gain – INFJs will act with creativity, imagination, conviction and sensitivity not to create advantage, but to create balance. egalitarianism and karma are very attractive ideas to INFJs, and they tend to believe that nothing would help the world so much as using love and compassion to soften the hearts of tyrants”
ENNEAGRAM TYPE: type two - the helper
“twos are empathetic, sincere, and warm-hearted. they are friendly, generous, and self-sacrificing, but can also be sentimental, flattering, and people-pleasing. they are well-meaning and driven to be close to others, but can slip into doing things for others in order to be needed. they typically have problems with possessiveness and with acknowledging their own needs. at their best: unselfish and altruistic, they have unconditional love for others”
MORAL ALIGNMENT: neutral good 
“these characters value life and freedom above all else, and despise those who would deprive others of them. neutral good characters sometimes find themselves forced to work beyond the law, yet for the law, and the greater good of the people. they are not vicious or vindictive, but are people driven to right injustice. neutral good characters always attempt to work within the law whenever possible, however”
TEMPERAMENT: phlegmatic 
“someone with phlegmatic personality type is usually a people person. they seek interpersonal harmony and close relationships. phlegmatic people are loyal spouses and loving parents. they preserve their relationships with old friends, distant family members, and neighbors. people with phlegmatic temperament tend to avoid conflicts and always try to mediate between others to restore peace and harmony”
ELEMENT: water
"water signs are intuitive and sensitive, and they feel more intensely than the rest. they are emotional and nurturing, and like a river, they run deep. how things feel is what matters to these folks, and they base their actions on sense, rather than on logic or intellect. water is also about compassion and understanding, since the receptive talents of these individuals are remarkably high. water sign people can take in the feelings of others, process them, and put forth a plan or solution that will be conscientious to all”
PRIMARY INTELLIGENCE TYPE: interpersonal intelligence
“you might have observed that there are certain persons who have the seemingly unique ability to get along superbly with others. these “people smart” individuals, with the use of their interpersonal intelligence, interact with others in such a way that they are able to understand and communicate well. interpersonal intelligence makes it possible for a person to effectively communicate through verbal and nonverbal means, to distinguish among others, to sense the temperament and moods of people, and to consider various points of view”
APPROXIMATE IQ: 117 MENTAL CONDITIONS/DISORDERS: n/a SOCIABILITY: very; she’s hardly met a stranger she doesn’t know, as she’s all warmth and acceptance and peace EMOTIONAL STABILITY: 7/10--after the trial, catherine’s emotions have been twisted and conflicted; she’s not sure which ones are valid, are proactive rather than reactive. additionally, her relationships with both easton craven and alexander rallis shed light on the darker parts of her that she’s spent twenty years hiding; easton exposes her bleeding heart, squeezing and squeezing and squeezing, hoping to break it and catherine; alexander nurtures the innate part of the saint that she cant escape--the part of her that seeks retribution and thrives on being the judge, jury, and executioner OBSESSION(S): a bit of a strong word, but she’s incredibly fond of dogs COMPULSION(S): checking in on loved ones to make sure they’re alright; cleaning/redecorating/organizing when feeling overwhelmingly off-kilter PHOBIA(S): theophobia ADDICTION(S): love DRUG USE: slim to none; working so closely with theodora has lessened her desires to dabble in the world of man-made drugs (save for rare occasions like the trial), but every once in a blue moon, she can be convinced to consume an edible--preferably a brownie ALCOHOL USE: casual; she’s always open to a having a nice wine-night in with friends (or herself) and she’s also very receptive to drinking in social settings (i.e. -- parties, clubs) PRONE TO VIOLENCE?: absolutely not.
                                               mannerisms
SPEECH STYLE: politely honest; somewhat cheeky ACCENT: italian HOBBIES: interior decorating; spending time with loved ones HABITS: caring for others at the expense of her own wellbeing; surprising loved ones with gifts NERVOUS TICKS: soft, minuscule movement of hands/fingers (i.e. -- gentle drumming of fingertips, absentminded twirling of hair); biting on her lower lip; pursing of lips; flushed cheeks DRIVES/MOTIVATIONS: hopes of changing mob tactics towards those that are more civil/peaceful; proving everyone wrong FEARS: losing herself (i.e. -- becoming more capulet than she is catherine); losing her family/those who she considers family; drowning POSITIVE TRAITS: devoted, honest, gentle, protective, creative NEGATIVE TRAITS: stubborn, hypocritical, proud, dogmatic, emotional SENSE OF HUMOR: a cheeky sense of humor; catherine’s honesty paired with her innate politeness often creates tongue-in-cheek responses in which she manages to convey her truths without coming off as too blunt DO THEY CURSE OFTEN?: somewhat; the saint of verona isn’t opposed to colorful language, but if she can effectively convey her emotions without it, she will CATCHPHRASE(S): n/a

time: 10:45 am
location: catherine’s apartment 
status: CLOSED to @maevepetre
There are few people in the world who Catherine truly yearns to see, especially in the wake of such tragedies like the trial. With bandages wrapped around her ribcage, a bruised cheek, broken morale, and wounded pride, Catherine Daly is far from the fair-skinned and light-eyed woman that she and her sisters are typically seen as; the saint of Verona plays the part of an angel cast from God’s good graces terribly well. But, distance makes the heart grow fonder and the absence of her kindred spirit leaves her feeling even more off-kilter, more so than the debacle that happened under the dominion of the Witches.
To remedy this, Catherine works to soothe the uncomfortable beast that sits on her chest; giving into her desire to spoil herself with company, she texts Maeve Petre who, like the sweet soul that she is, agrees to come see her.
So, when her doorbell rings, she can’t help but feel a flare of joy in her chest; for a split moment, the ache she feels in in the very marrow of her bones is coddled by velvet, covered by the excitement she feels in anticipation to see her friend. The soldier hauls herself from the loveseat and moves to the door, opening it with warm blue eyes. 
“Cara mia,” she breathes in relief. She has known that Maeve’s health was better than her own, but seeing it by herself makes her feel more relaxed. “It’s so nice to see you. Please, come in.” She steps aside so the other can enter.
