"If I were well-to-do / I would put roses on roses, and cover your grave / With multitude of white roses, and just a few / Red ones, a bloody-white flag over you."

Blasphemy.

“I’m tired, can’t think of anything and want only to lay my face in your lap, feel your hand on my head and remain like that through all eternity.”

— FRANZ KAFKA, LETTERS TO MILENA

[edwardian-girl-next-door]

"Her tall, slender form, outlined against the bright light; the vivid sense of slumbering fire that seemed to find expression only in those wonderful tawny eyes of hers, remarkable eyes, different from any woman's that I have ever known; the intense power of stillness she possessed, which nevertheless conveyed the impression of a wild untamed spirit in an exquisitely civilised body -- all these things are burnt into my memory. I shall never forget them."

Agatha Christie, The Mysterious Affair at Styles (1920)

HEAR ME OUT

Hare!reader and König that refuses to acknowledge you are actually a hare.

"So you're a bunny. In the military?"

"Hare."

"..." He would stare at you, up and down, trying to figure out where the hell you're a hare. Long ears, strong legs, little tail. Looks like a bunny to him.

"But you look like a bunny." He says, pretty much oblivious to the differences.

Of course, someone who doesn't live daily to have acknowledge the difference between a hare and a rabbit might be foolish to believe those are the same thing. And you can't blame him, really. He works with predator hybrids if anything. He probably only seen bunnies while he was a child, running around the wildness.

"Rabbits are so much more different then hares." True. Rabbits have much smaller ears compared to hares, just as they have a visibly smaller and more squishy body.

Rabbits love humans and being pet, hares will bite your finger and will start running like wild if you do that. And he learned that the hard way.

"But you're small. And furry." Right, apparently a cat can also be a bunny by this logic.

"I'm a hare." You remind him and he looks extremely deep in thought.

"What is the prey doing in the military anyway?" He finally questions, more concerned with why the hell they did let you in!

...

"Are you a barracks hare?"
