#matthias helvar drabble

[toopaletogotojail]

Telling the crows that they deserve better than who they're with: (assuming they'll react honestly, prob ooc)

Inej: *hung out with Nina more often* probably yeah, but I still love him

Nina: *knows her worth, also likes making Matthias panic* oh don't I know it

Wylan: I'm aware

Kaz, Matthias and Jesper simultaneously: No. No we do not

[justanoasisimagines]

Not when I'm around

Summary; Matthias is smitten with you. However, your oblivious. It's funny how things work out sometimes... Pairing; Matthias Helvar x Female Reader WordCount; 530 Credit goes to @cafekitsune for the banner and the divider A/N - Requests are open! Feel free to drop an ask.

Matthias observed you as you interacted with customers. The way you seemed friendly and familiar to the frequent punters. The way you had them eating out of the palm of your hands. It was no wonder why Kaz had hired you. "Don't you have anything else better to do with your time?" Matthias smirked. He'd been busted, but who could blame him? Not when you were the most beautiful woman in the world. "No, why, have any better ideas?" You wiped a glass clean. Matthias enjoyed the mischievous grin slowly appearing on your face. "There are always ways to spend your time, but right now, I have to work. Gotta earn my keep somehow" With that you returned to attending to customers, with a spark and a spring in your step. Matthias sat back and watched in awe. The Crow Club was packed, as usual, all of the crows were dotted around the room. Kaz rested on the balcony, overseeing things. Matthias hadn't moved from his place at the bar, surveying the room, all the while keeping an eye on you. He knew you could handle yourself, but that didn't mean he wanted you to. Not while he was around. "When are you going to tell her?" Jesper questioned as he slapped him on the shoulder. Matthias turned to glance at him before his eyes instinctively found their way back to you. "I've been trying to. I thought I was being clear but perhaps not." Matthias took a sip of his drink. It was difficult to hear amongst the constant chatter, yet Matthias still found himself being able to spot your voice out. Matthias had never heard a more angelic sound. "Then you are not being clear enough. You need to keep trying because a little birdie tells me she is crazy about you" Matthias didn't want to believe Jesper's words, he didn't want to get his hopes up. Could you reciprocate his feelings? Only in his wildest fantasy perhaps. Suddenly Matthias watched a local drunk grab you. Within a second, he'd jumped from his chair towards you. No one would disrespect you, not as long as Matthias had breath in his body. Taking hold of the man's arms, he dragged the man away from you. Fire coursing through his veins. "You do not touch her." Matthias placed himself between yourself and the man. "What is your girl or somethin' I don't think so." Matthias grabbed the man by his shirt pulling him off his feet. "Don't let me see you in here again!" The main scrambled, tripping and stumbling. "I could have handled him you know" Matthias smirked as he glanced over his shoulder. This was the moment. Two slow steps Matthias took towards you before cupping your face within his hands. "I know, but you don't have to, not while I'm around." You leaned up and pressed a kiss on his stubble-covered cheek. Not missing the pink hue that rapidly dusted it. "Come, keep me company" With your hands entwined, the Crow Club returned to usual. However, high on the balcony Inez passed Jesper some coins. If only you two could have held out just a little longer.

DAY 3: POETRY

Wylan didn't mind hosting guests at the mansion, far better then the cold interior he'd become used to growing up. Guest rooms for each of his friends, should they feel like staying past the more reasonable hours of the day, which they often did (especially when someone had to much wine *cough* Nina *cough*)

On occasion he a Jesper would host an illierate street urchin or runaway, in his father's old bedroom nonetheless, just to stick it to the pathetic bastard.

His mother Marya had her own room, on the ground-level, adjacent to the solarium, where she'd spend time reading or painting or simply sitting peacefully gazing into the distance toward the ocean.

He and Jes, had comfortable none-master-bedroom, in the upper back corner of the house, where there had been a nursey once, before he'd grown up in to a father-disappointing member of the Merch Council and a part time demo expert.

Inej had a space in one of the fewer third floor allotments, where she could escape out the window if she so desired, or stay up into the wee hours feeding any birds scavenging the neighborhood.

Kaz hardly ever spent the night anywhere that wasn't his office, signing and loging and shuffling and flipping through paper work efore catching a scant few hours before dawn. But when he did he stayed across from Inej's room. Somehow taking comfort being near even in the event she was out at sea.

Nina and Matthias stayed as close to the kitchen as possible, to curb their healty appetites as well as appeasing their night-owl tendencies. Nina was particularly fond of cooking and eating minature breakfast platters late in the night. Matthias trailing along to brew a cup of tea while she bustled around.

The pair visited often, spliting their time between Ravka and Fjerda and Ketterdam, helping Grisha and changing minds of the more obstinately small mind people.

Nina made sure to always bring back sweaters or snacks or Jesper the latest fashion from Os Alta or Wylan some obscure chemical ingredient for his experiments.

This time it was a red-purple plant only found on the Ravkan-Shu Han border. He had high expectations for the explosions properties it was known for. (Kaz had a small operation planned within the next month that Wylan was determined to make go smoothly).

Wylan headed out back toward his lab, after a suitable lunch of plums and honey-bacon sandwich with avacado.

"Du kommer til en varm region

den er myk og disig

men da vil jeg ikke lenger være meg,

men skogen. " *¹

The distress in Mathhias' voice caused Wylan to pause in confusion, he thought he'd left with Nina and Jes for lunch at the reestablished Crow Club (to bother Kaz she'd explained over breakfast).

"Uhhhh you good Mat?" *² He asked stepping sideways into the open doorway.

"Dritt. Helvete."

Matthias continued his muttering, clearly frustrated with whatever he was reading off the paper in his hand, like Wylan had never spoken, ripping his hand roughly through his blond hair.

"Mat?"

Matthias looked up sharply, startled, at the young Hendricks standing innocently in the doorway, "Wylan?"

"Yes?"

The soldier in front of him never looked more embarassed, his face pinked up to his ears and he turned to hid it. "I thought were working."

"Stopped for lunch. Something wrong?"

The Fjerdan sighed and made a look of resignation before tiredly handing the scrap of paper over to the younger man.

"I was...practicing...for Nina."

Wylan took the paper long enough to make out the discernable scribble of foreign characters before handing it back. "Sooo what is it?"

Matthias redden even more as the realisation came over him that the words were A. in a foreign language Wylan didn't know and B. that Wylan couldn't read them even if the weren't.

"Faen. Sorry I forgot."

Wylan shrugged it off, it would be worse if his friends made a deal of remembering it. Forgetting was a blessing.

"I just...I'm nervous."

"Why?"

He took a moment to collect his thoughts before answering, "In Fjerda, there's always a courtship. What I have with Nina is..unconvential. I thought I might try to give her the experience of a normal courtship." He studies the paper in his hands almost timidly, "I wrote her a poem. I thought I might read it to her over our dinner before we leave again."

Wylan smiled, "Nina will love it I'm sure. She managed to fall in love with you while you both wanted to kill each other, I'm sure a poem good or bad won't damage what the two of you have."

Matthias seemed heartened at this before his face flushed again,"do you think you might listen to me practice? Help me get rid of the nerves?"

Wylan grinned and through himself into a plump armchair across from him. "Do your worst." He sat quiet and patience as the other man pushed his way through the words like a challenging task the he was intent on getting it perfect. When he finished he looked up expectantly.

"Well considering that I have know clue what the hell you just said I think its great."

~~~~

*1: The last stanza of the poem "Assimilation" (translated into Norwegian), by Finnish author Eeva-Liisa Manner I thought it was fitting of Matthias' character

"you will come to a warm region

it is soft and hazy

but then I will no longer be me,

but the forest."

*2: I think Matthias would have eventually grown comfortable enough with the rest of the Crows to except nicknames. Matty by Nina. Mat by Inej and Wylan. Jesper still calls him Matthias. Kaz ofc calls him Helvar.

I used modern Norwegian in place of Fjerdan as it is an incomplete fictional language,

Dritt: Shit

Helvete: Damn it

Faen: Fuck

“Had she really thought the world didn't change? She was a fool. The world was made of miracles, unexpected earthquakes, storms that came from nowhere and might reshape a continent.”

I know it's like *checks watch* three days after Christmas, but I still wanted to do a little something in honour of the holidays. Especially since all my prior fics haven't been even close to festive at all. These are all just drabbles, so none of these are similar to my usual fics. I just wanted to write a little something for everyone.

I hope you can forgive me for my utterly atrocious timing, and still enjoy this collection of festive drabbles. I love and appreciate all of you so much, loves <333

What Am I Up To? (2/1/24)

Saturday: On Saturdays I upload one chapter in my fic called Empire of Dirt. (Summary: Kaz Brekker refused to take his father's name when his mother married, as well as the name of his husband. Wylan Van Eck wants to focus on his art despite his new marriage being more than he bargained for. Nina Zenik is fed up of carriages and pearls, but her new fiance obviously isn't. Matthias Helvar was expecting a pretty Russian princess and instead was given a woman that rocks his world. Jesper Fahey may be running from his own pain, but he can help others face it. Inej Ghafa wants her family and out of her cage.)

I upload oneshots on Wednesdays as I finish them. There won’t be a new oneshot every Wednesday, but if I finish a oneshot it will be uploaded on that day!

I now have a series called 'Of Drabbles and Late Night Thoughts' where I post fanfictions that are drabbles or character study type things that I don't want to waste on a whole upload day on. They're rambly and unedited but they get some ideas out of my head so I can focus on other works.

I’m also writing an Arcana fanfiction with my best friend. It’s called Luck of the Draw and gets updates whenever we feel like it. (Summary: Asra has some new magic that he wants to test, and his friends are more than willing to help him out.)

I am participating in Febuwhump! My series is called Unlucky Me and will feature a oneshot of varying length posted every day of February focusing on the Crows from Six of Crows having a Bad Time. Hope you brought some tissues!

[greenerteacups]

Fic Masterpost

Oh, boy. Okay. Here we go.

I have written literally hundreds of thousands of words of fic, and this is where you can find it! Consider this a kind of annotated bibliography.

Harry Potter

Lionheart

Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger | 300,000 words and counting

How Draco Malfoy met a girl on a train, ruined his life, started a war, and ended one.

Notes: Oh, honey. This is my baby. The longest fic I've ever written, the currently running one, and the one I'm most fond of. A Gryffindor!Draco AU that retraces all 7 books. Slowburn Dramione (SLOW, slow burn, a simmer, currently more like a suntanning) with Golden Quartet vibes. I pre-write all the books and then release them in weekly updates, kinda like a serial publication, so you always know when your next hit is coming!

Volume I, "Green and Golden," composed of Years 1-3, finished early in 2023. It's currently releasing Volume II, "Son and Heir," which just finished the first act of Year 4.

/

The Climb

Harry Potter, Severus Snape & Harry Potter | 22,000 words

"...in the event that I, Lily Evans Potter, and my husband, James Potter, become deceased," read Albus, "I do hereby name Severus Snape as sole legal custodian of my son, Harry James Potter, until such a time as he comes of age." He folded his glasses on the table. "Fuck," said Severus, with feeling.

Notes: An unexpected brainworm that I had while compiling a Severus playlist for Lionheart, which rapidly spiraled out of control. It's a "Severus raises Harry" fic, which I never had a taste for until I started writing this — I realized there was so much more juice in the narrative idea than I'd realized. I like how I use voice and style here; I think I made a real leap in technique between SWHTWW and this one.

//

Other

the scenes which hold the waking world

Six of Crows, Kaz Brekker/Inej Ghafa, Matthias Helvar/Nina Zenik, Jesper Fahey/Wylan van Eck | 70,000 words

Thirty million dollars for a secret. That's the payout for Kaz Brekker, the most dangerous, ruthless, and talented extractor in the dream industry — if he can manage it. But to have a chance, he needs the best. That means finding a team willing to attempt the impossible: a knife-wielding cat burglar, a college dropout with perfect aim, a sullen ex-Navy SEAL, a drop-dead gorgeous former Soviet spy, and the estranged son of their rich employer. If they can avoid killing each other, they'll go down in history. If they can't, none of them may wake up again.

Notes: This was my first novel-length fic, and I'll always have a soft spot for it. It's an Inception AU with the vibes of Leverage meets Ocean's 11, with a side of psychological trouble and codependency. Read if you like spy movies, heist stories, or dangerous criminals whose Achilles heel is being unable to stop talking shit to each other.

/

someday we'll linger in the sun

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Namor of Talokan/Shuri | 40,000 words

As the legends have it, after she earned the blessings of Bast, the Princess Shuri took a god for a lover. The legends say less about what happened in between.

Notes: Another drabble that spiraled wildly out of control. (You may notice a theme.) I watched Black Panther over Christmas break and thought, "Wow, that's an incredible storyline that didn't actually happen, wish someone would write it." Technically unfinished, but I think the existing chapters serve as a complete story. Unfortunately, no plans to come back to this one; I might mark it as finished at some point, because it feels settled to me.

/

it's a western, henry

Dimension20: Fantasy High, Riz Gukgak/Fabian Aramais Seacaster | 10,000 words

Nobody fantasizes about kissing goblins in the moonlight, or taking them out on ice cream dates after class. Especially not beautiful half-elves on the bloodrush team, who could have anybody they wanted (and probably do). It's the beginning of a bad joke. A goblin and a half-elf walk into a tower... And the goblin ends up slain on the floor while the half-elf walks out with the princess.

Notes: My first fic, which started as a writing exercise. A character study in fantasy race relations and a love story between a nerd and a jock in which the jock is the anxious one. Working title for a while was "it's not easy being green," before I found the fancy Siken line. I still think there's some good humor in here, and I like rereading it from time to time.

2023 Character Wrapped

Thanks for tagging me, @welcometololaland!

Rules: share your top 9 characters of 2023

In no particular order:

1. Regina Mills (OUAT)

I relate to her so much in some ways, she has magic, she banters so well, and her redemption arc is ON. POINT. No matter how far I stray from this fandom, Regina will always have my heart.

2. Henry Fox Mountchristen-Windsor (RWRB) My heart goes out to him SO MUCH, and like Regina, he feels things deeply. Plus, he wants to be a writer! What more could I ask for?

3. Alex Claremont-Díaz (RWRB) half of the greatness that is firstprince, plus he speaks Spanish! And as much as I relate to Henry's quiet suffering, Alex's chaos is relatable too

4. Robin Hood (OUAT)

5. Wylan Van Eck and Jesper Fahey (Shadow and Bone show/Six of Crows) I love these two, especially Wylan. They both go through so much and learn so much from each other, it's amazing!

6. Rebecca Welton (Ted Lasso) another very relatable character for me

7. Nina Zenik and Matthias Helvar (Shadow and Bone/Six of Crows) love these two, especially in the books! I'm so upset that we don't get to see the best part of their story (assuming they changed the end)

8. Inej Ghafa and Kaz Brekker (Shadow and Bone/Six of Crows- though definitely the former for the latter character) Inej might deserve better in general, but Kaz definitely has his moments, especially in the show!

9. Lorelai Gilmore (Gilmore Girls) she's just so fun and quirky and strong!

I'm cheating a lot, I know, but I had to have all six of the Crows, and it spiraled from there...

DAY 6: HEART

The cobbled streets of Kerch's capitol city were quiet-ish in the earlier light of the dawn. Revelers from the previous night of activities on 5th howled and shouted drunken praise of some nonsense or other as they stumbled toward their lodgings. Messengers from other parts of the city scrambled quickly in between the few roving carriages in a weak attempt to trek the streets of the barrel before falling victim to any number of criminals.

Matthias walked unencumbered by such a fear. He didn't trust anyone in the vicinity as far as he could throw them, but being in the presence of Barrel royalty afford him some kind of security.

Matthias was not particulary fond of having breakfast (or any other meal for that matter) with Kaz Brekker, but Nina for unknown reasons actually seemed to like spending time with the bastard. Or, more specifically his "non"- girlfriend.

It was understandable, Matthias liked Inej in his own sort of quiet way. She was nothing like her silent, brooding conterpart, she for example, actually had morals and common sense.

The four them walked along slowly, with the sort of sluggishness that comes when you haven't drank you first cup of coffee yet. Brekker leading them to some hole-in-the-wall resturant that would allow the some sense of privacy.

That was the trouble associating with gang members, you couldn't go anywhere too high profile without some fraternity of spies hovering around you trying to plot your demise.

They rounded another corner, walked no more then ten feet before another sharp left into an alley ending in a sensible oak doorway.

Kaz opened the door and waited for the girls to enter before, pettily, in Matthias' opinion, he let go of it to walk in himself. Matthias let out a sigh making a grab for the edge of it before it swung closed.

It wasn't a large place by any means, the dining area could probably fit maybe twenty people. But it was clean and snug and the aromas drifting from the kitchen made his stomach rumble quietly.

A man approached asking about seating and whether or not anyone else would be joining them. Nina answered in that normal self assured manner of hers in a quirk that would have made him smile if wasn't so tired.

They were lead to a booth in the back, that Matthias appreciated because then at least if he fell asleep none of the other costumers (a whole three people) could judge him.

He scooted into the left side of the booth, Nina close behind, then he watched, weary, Inej and Kaz enter the other. Nina snuggled close to his side, resting her head lightly on his shoulder. He leaned in to supress his small smile against the crown of her head. This was something he would never quite grow use to.

Matthias made himself comfortable, reaching out for a glass of waiter had brought as soon as they'd seated themselves. He thanked Nina as she passed him the small breakfast menu and began browsing the choices.

Nina put down her menu almost as soon as she'd picked it up, as if she'd only been checking for something she'd already decided on, on the way there. Inej and Kaz took a few minutes, Kaz looking like he was calculating the pros and cons of each item against their worth in Kruge, Inej merely appearing as though she couldn't decide. Matthias let his flicker of the still strange Kerch alphabet before deciding it would just be easier to order the same as Nina. (He had a habit of losing his appetite around Brekker anyway)

The waiter returned taking their orders in a neat, measured tone before informing them of their call number that would alert them to the readiness of their meals that they could recieve at the counter in the front.

Kaz asked, surprisingly polite that a pot of coffee be brought to the table. The waiter nodded and scurried back to the kitchen to relay the request to the other staff members before hurrying back to seat a new pair of arrivals.

Matthias watched silently as Nina and Inej chatted quitely, exchanging adventures at sea and tiffs someone (Nina) had iniated in both Fjerda and Ravka. Then his eyes drifted to Brekker.

He'd barely spoken all morning, he rarely did until he'd had at least some caffine but he seemed unusually quiet today. Matthias saw the way the other man gazed toward Inej, he doubted anyone missed such a look, but it seemed to grow more longing each time he and Nina returned.

His attention broke at the calling of their number (7) from the counter, he moved to rise but Nina pushed him back down and pecked his cheek before getting up herself. She crooked a commanding finger at Kaz and stood unwithering under his glare until he got to his feet.

"Be right back."

Inej waited until they were positioned at the counter arguing with the kitchen staff about what he didn't know, to speak up.

"It's nice," he looked over at her, "the way you two are together."

Matthias felt his heart skip at the mention of him and Nina, he still didn't really believe it all wasn't a dream.

"It is." He felt hesitant before continuing, "You and Brekker could be that way. We all know how you feel about one another."

Inej followed his gaze to where Nina and Kaz had transitioned from arguing with the unfortunate members of the kitchen to argue with one another. They really did act like siblings sometimes.

"We...we aren't there yet. We still have some things to work on first. You shouldn't be with someone unless you're certain you're ready, and I don't know that I am...not yet."

Matthias nodded. He understood the hesitation between the two of them, both had lost much and they still had some healing to do first, but still.

"It must hurt to want but to know your better apart for now."

Inej gave him a weak grin, "yes but it is for the best."

"He will wait for you. I may not know him well but he will. His heart calls to yours."

The smile that graced her features was utterly authentic, "Sirds ir bulta. Tas prasa mērķi nolaisties patiesi. *1 As mine does to his."

The pair quieted as their friends approached, arms laden with food.

"How hard do you think it is to make a simple pot of coffee Kaz?"

"Bold words from someone who can't even make a glass of water."

"At least know how to make a glass of water."

The two of them continued bickering back and forth until Nina gave up so she could eat her breakfast. Kaz despite having won by forfeit seemed moody, but seemed much more content when Inej prodded him gently with a cup of coffee.

Though their intimate interactions were certainly limited each one felt weighted, a delicate tower of brick that had the potential to be inspiring.

Matthias couldn't help looking at Nina and feel at peace knowing he could rest easily knowing she held his own heart.

Okay, so... we already established Matthias would be the softer one of him and Matt, but...

If it was just him and his s/o? I have a weak spot for a big, strong man who's soft with his s/o but dammit if I don't want that Fjerdan boy to ruin me.

Please give me your thoughts 😍

I’m exploding.

You’d have to warm him up to certain things, him being from where he’s from and all. He was always mild mannered, and in bed he was nothing but soft with you. Matthias never wants to do anything that would hurt you, so if you urged him to be more rough with you he might be hesitant. He’d give you a look that would make you giggle, one of confusion, and it would take everything in you not to kiss the dumbfounded expression off of his handsome face.

“You’re not going to hurt me, Matthias..” you’d assure, moving his large hand by the grip you had on his wrist to place his palm against your throat. He’d swallow, a fire forming in his stomach, his icy blue eyes shooting a glare right into your own eyes.

“You tell me to stop, I will stop.” He spoke sternly, like this were a life and death situation even though you’ve been practically begging him to have his way with you. You were lost in the timbre of his voice, the low tone that shot straight to your core.

“Understand?” He asked, his hold on your neck twitching the slightest bit, catching your attention. He’d have to keep from smirking at the way you blushed, how you nodded so compliantly in agreement.

By the time Matthias had given his all, you’d be a drooling, idiotic, fucked to a point of foolishness, incomprehensible, babbling mess. He’d have his hand around your pulse, restraining you still while he fucked you into the mattress. All you could do was gawk up at him, choking out unsteady praises and pleads of mercy. But Matthias wasn’t merciful tonight. No. You wanted this, and the big bad Fjerdan would do nothing until you got exactly what you wanted. Who was he to dissatisfy you? He wouldn’t dare, not when you looked like a gorgeous little whore accepting his cock like it were the only thing you knew.

He’d settle his lips right to your ear, the harsh pants and raw breaths emitting from that pretty mouth enough to carry you over the edge for your third orgasm of the night. He clamped your breath within his fist, just a bit tighter, and he knew you were listening from the way you squeaked at his harsh touch. Good, he wanted you to hear this.

“You asked for this, min trassel,” he taunted, “So take it.”

May I ask for Matthias Helver x fem!reader with the prompts B25 + B88 please? thank you so much!

Fandom: Shadow and Bone

B25. “You’re so warm…” “You’re so cold.” “Mmh, that’s why I like your warmth.” and B88. “I’ve tried to forbid myself from falling in love, but now I can’t help it.”

A/N: I hope you like it!

Word count: 478

The after-heist parties were always full of drunken people and loud noises, and this was even bigger party than most. The heist had taken well over nine hours and brought one hundred thousand kruge worth of treasures with it, making it the biggest heist in a long while.

"Is this taken?" your voice asked, making Matthias look up. You gestured the spot on the couch beside him. He shook his head, and you sighed in relief as you plopped down next to him.

He couldn't help staring at you when you made yourself comfortable on the couch. You were so beautiful.

"Saints, I'm so tired. I've been up since four at the morning," you moaned and rested your head against his shoulder. “You’re so warm…”

Matthias couldn't hold in a smile. “You’re so cold.”

You giggled. “Mmh, that’s why I like your warmth.”

After a moment, Matthias could feel you sleeping against his shoulder, and when he looked at your sleeping form, his feelings came by crashing like a wave again - his feelings for you. He swallowed, carefully pushing you to lie on the couch on your own before he left the Slat.

Nina saw him walking out and sensed her Fjerdan friend wasn't feeling okay, so she followed him. It didn't take long from her to catch up, grabbing Matthias's shoulder.

"What?" he grumbled and Nina sighed.

"What's the matter?"

Matthias thought for a moment, considering on lying but he ultimately decided to tell the truth. Nina would sense if he was lying anyway.

"It's Y/N," Matthias sighed. "I've tried to forbid myself from falling in love, but now I can't help it."

"Do you love her?" Nina asked. The Fjerdan clenched his jaw and looked away from Nina.

"I can't love her." he mumbled.

"Why not?" Nina questioned, but Matthias didn't answer. "Because she's an evil witch?"

He finally shook his head. "Because she'd be in danger with me. If my old friends ever found me and-"

"They won't find you. Why would they even come to Ketterdam?" she asked and Matthias frowned. "Go to her, big bad wolf. You deserve love and to be loved more than a lot of other people around here."

He knew Nina was telling the truth. There was little to no real reasons why his old friends would try to find him from Ketterdam of all places. But he was still afraid.

But on the other hand, you were a Crow too, and a valued one too. A healer among the Dregs was a necessity as Nina could only numb the pain but not actually mend the bones together and make wounds heal instantly. He knew he wouldn't be the only one to fight if you were to be killed.

Matthias took in a deep breath. Maybe he'd find happiness with you, something he had longed for so long...
