#im soo normal about vivienne. so normal

[abyssal-ilk]

Now I’m picturing Vivienne splattered in blood head to toe, pulling out an expensive handkerchief, and carefully wiping her fingers and nails clean while continuing her earlier conversation… 10/10

YES!

i need you to imagine it all being a veneer, though, and one that is quickly cracking. she's covered in blood, shaken, but she has a reputation to maintain– she's the imperial enchanter, after all. the first enchanter, leader of the loyal mages. so she cleans her nails and dabs at her face, brushing off comments of concern all while pretending like her voice isn't wavering and her hands don't shake.
