Akin to poison , the way it worked : slowly eating away at one's insides.   the only difference betwen the two was that poison was a physical killer , hatred targeted the mind  &  the heart.   &  it was the heart from which Aniela's hatred for Barnabas Tharmr was born.

There was a point , once , when Eva had said to Aniela , that so sweet was her heart , so pure her soul that she couldn't possibly hate anothing living thing , that hatred didn't exist within her.   It was true — until Barnabas.   Husband to her dearest sister  &  Mad King of Waloed.   The man who took her sister from her.   As the younger sibling , she wanted all of the older's attention  &  for a time , she had it.   When Aniela , so detatched from her humanity was so much more seal / sea dragon than anything.   So out of touch with the reality of their world.   It was Eva who'd taught her how to read , to write . . the customs of humans  &  other essentials for braving society  &  then , like the waves can erase a journey of footprints in the sand , she was gone.   Time now spent with Barnabas  &  then married. 

Eventually , Eva had left but now , as time had gone on , she was back  &  Aniela , the ever dutiful sister at her side.   &  because she couldn't help herself , because there was still some part of her unable to control all of her emotions  &  feelings , she was always teasing Barnabas.   Irk  &  ire had made a home in her heart  &  so oft they would drive her to speak things she shouldn't , things that were targeted at her brother in law.   Why , just earlier , she had spoken about several men oogling  &  drooling over Eva , whilst they were out to market  &  she'd said so at the dinner table , no less.   Of course , none of what she said was actually true , save for one man who was ever so polite about his wandering gaze , but nevertheless , Aniela embellished  &  the deed had been done  &  Barnabas flipped the table.   It was all quite chatoic  &  riveting , but Aniela had actually felt a pang of guilt when she watched Eva walk away with a huff , down the corridor. 

The Leviathan Dominant turned to exit the scene as well , but she had only made it a few paces before the sount of boots on stone met her ears  &  suddenly , she was being swung 'round , slammed into the wall with loud thud.   Barnabas had her pinned by the throat with his forearm  &  the momentum was enough that he'd lifted her slightly  (  not hard to do considering she was only 5'2  ).   Her feet dangled , they struggled  &  kicked , flailing to try  &  find ground.

❝     I'm sorry —     ❞   she choked out amidst wind pipe being slowly crushed.   Gaze is locked with the Mad King  &  she pleads , vision darkening 'round the edges.   ❝     Please . . Barnabas , I'll stop . . please.     ❞

✧˚ ˖ @liightbringr ( with mentions of @krakuholt ) —- ❛ it's a rare day for them. she's enveloped by the sea just like days of old. chasing bubbles && flippers like a game that only they know. would the king wonder where she is? this she knows not. but all the same it bothers her none. she is queen. && if her heart so desires to be lost to the currents once more with her sibling, she will do so. && so she dives down once more from the surface. a ways she swims, descending to the chill that resides just that much deeper than before. where she is met with the sweet face of her sibling. despite the salt of the sea, she grins wide at such a sight. her hand shifts through the water if only so that the pad of her index might tap against the delicate nose before her. she utters the word boop! beneath the water, but it only rises on a large bubble. ❜ / 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐭 !

So long it had been since they'd been like this  :  alone  ,  together  ,  splashing amidst the ever - comforting embrace of the waves.   It is rare that Aniela primes anymore  ;  only when she's alone in the sea  ,  playing with the seals  &  other aquatic friends.   One of the perks of being Leviathan's dominant was an ability to not only prime  ,  but to shapeshift  ━━━  within reason  ,  of course.   Aniela could only really shift into one thing of her choice  &  so she chose her favorite creature  ;  the seal.   It was currently  ,  in this refreshing moment of repose with her sister  ,  that Aniela had donned the aforementioned form  &  oh  ,  how thrilled she was.

She was splashing  ,  diving  ,  circling  &  having so much fun.   Sad as it was  ,  she could scarce recall a time they'd had this much fun  (  she makes a mental note to drag Eva out here in the mornings more often  )  ,  not that being in the castle wasn't fun  ,  but she could only remain within the same proximity of as her dear sister's husband for only so long.   

It's nice to see Eva smile as well.   It was the smile that was reserved her just for her  ,  for her sister.   There was one for Barnabas  ,  one for their children  ,  one for their people  ,  one for everyone else  &  one for her.   That one was dusted with the reminisance of their childhood  &  oh  ,  how delighted Ani was to be on the receiving end of that smile  &  even better !   A soft little boop to her snout !   There's an excited little wiggle to her seal body before she swims forward  ,  pressing booped snoot to the cheek of her sister dearest.   A little boop of her own.
