By Eric's door was a red, generic looking, Valentines Day card. The inside, however, was far from generic.-- Inside the words 'I can't wait to take you out for Valentines Day' was printed on, except, the final words (for Valentines Day) were scribbled out and instead replaced with the crudely written message from a certain Scottish hitman:
'....with my sniper rifle. I can't wait to take you out with my sniper rifle. Not on Valentines Day specifically, per se, but in general. Just thought I'd let you know.'
(I am really so sorry about him 😔)

@warrioroflondonbelow | From HERE
For a few moments - perhaps longer than she should have - Lilith stood in the doorway, watching him fight his tie with a soft smile. It was a reminder, sometimes, how young he was. Compared to her, at least.
"Who do you think does my brother's ties?" Admittedly, he did most of them himself now, but she was always nearby to lend a hand. To him and to Richard, apparently.
Pale fingers moved quickly, practiced as they formed a perfectly centered and neat double Windsor, gently tightening it up to his collar before smoothing it down against his chest with a cold hand.
"There, now you look ever so smart." She tiptoed up to the very edge of her feet, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek before dropping back down.

pressing a chocolate wool sleeve over her mouth, she disguised a very nervous giggle into a cough of her own. the description had been disgustingly vivid, the writer in her proud as much as it made her almost gag. ❝ yes, let’s avoid that. black tea it is. ❞ fingers tucking her tie away between the buttons of her shirt almost on reflex, she crossed her arms across her chest with a soft roll of her eyes in response.
his chatter brought a smile to her painted lips, the relative normalcy of the conversation lulling her as much as the warmth pouring from the radiator. it’s almost absent minded, her reaching for one of the shortbreads, though the sweet butteriness, for all the nip of staleness certainly couldn’t be simply left behind at the back of her mind. ❝ i’m not surprised, ❞ a note of admiration pouring into her voice, another small nibble savored, ❝ these are genuinely delicious, richard. ❞ a baker, amongst other things apparently… he seemed full of pleasant surprises, this one. she can only imagine how difficult the country’s strict rationing made it to scrounge up enough butter and sugar to spare on cookies such as this. ❝ i find i cook far more often than i bake, though i’ve not done either recently. ❞

WHAT DO YOU WISH YOU COULD SAY?
"i want to be myself, but i can't."
you have a secret interest or a personality trait that others wouldn't like about you. you may have shown it off once, but it was received badly, and now like hell you're gonna be vulnerable like that again. you dream of the day where someone you like will act this way too and you can finally release this lock in your chest, although that's extremely unlikely. you feel disconnected from others' reality of yourself. it's very uncomfortable.

WHAT DO YOU WISH YOU COULD SAY?
"i'm hurting and help is beyond me." there's something going on with you mentally. you haven't told anyone because you don't want to drag them down with you. it kills you on the daily and you feel like you're falling apart, however, nobody's noticed. you feel like you should be thankful for that, but it just hurts more. you feel selfish and weak for wanting help, yet something deep and knotted beneath your diaphragm is screaming to let go of the pain and let someone else handle it for awhile.

@warrioroflondonbelow wants an angel witch!
Light footsteps hit the polished floor boards of the house as Trinity walked around, turning all of the lights off in the big farm house that she had lived in for the past 150 years; since she was born actually. Now it was just her- obviously. But she knew it wouldn’t be for long. Grace House was a sanctuary, people came when they needed it- a witches form of church. Really anything with any sort of abilities church. Though sometimes it felt more like a candle flame, drawing them here along with the rare human. Not her though. She had been here since the day she was born and would live until she completed the transition from a maiden to a crone and then back to dirt again.
Right now though she was still a maiden and this was still her church to watch over. Opening the door she picked up a book and moved out the front door onto the large wrap around porch. Sitting in the porch swing as she looked out at the tree lined street that ran 3 miles before it came to the dirt road that would not connect to the county. Way back when they had settled here it had been nothing but swamp land, now she could see lights coming down the dirt road, peeking through the cypress. A little smile touched her lips. She opened her book as she waited, reading a page as they got closer and closer.
“I was expecting you sooner,” She admitted.

"Fuck!" Mary's heels twisted as she stumbled back against the cobblestones, one hand grabbing the wall beside her for balance as she looked at the man bleeding out in front of her. Thoughts swirled through her head, three plans of action forming before she even moved.
She could call the police. But then she would have to explain what SHE was doing, out alone at night with a few thousand dollars and several knives in her purse, wandering away from a shady club. No, she that wouldn't do. She couldn't risk it.
She could leave him for dead. A tempting thought, and one she lent towards for a moment - but then the small amount of GOOD in her won out, a rare moment of humanity cracking through.
And so that left the third option.
Two hours later and Richard was laying across a booth in the empty strip club, Mary sat opposite in her fur coat and sipping on her milkshake, a medical textbook open and a spiralling scrawl of notes coming from her sleek black pen.
As he stirred she looked up from her work.
"If you're going to sit up do it carefully, or you'll pull your stitches." A page was flicked in the book casually. "And I didn't waste my time doing them for you to rip them out."

It was rare that G was gone for more than a few nights since ascending to head of MI6 but there were still those times. What wasn’t rare was Wendy taking shifts in the ICU or children’s wards to avoid the empty flat. Though she was caught off guard with the familiar face laying in bed 6. Nine. The man who had broken into her home, but still there was a sense of sorrow for the man. He hadn’t truly meant her any harm. Just wanted to know his boss, granted he should have known everything about him already. Pulling the tablet with his chart she read. Richard Oliver Mayhew....... and so she read.
Going into his room she started double checking the monitors, vitals, and medications. Everything seemed fine, but curiosity still perked. Just what was a special agent doing in her icu?

James’ hand remained on the door as he moved, pressing his back to worn wood to block Richard’s exit.
“Now, darling - I don’t relish in this at all. Scaring people is far from my favourite thing to do.” And despite the defensive stance, the way he was stopping Richard form just walking away, there was clear truth in it. He didn’t WANT to scare anyone, let alone Richard. The poor man had had enough trauma for one day.
“But you also know a lot of things you shouldn’t, so I need to know you won’t tell a soul.” And he might not have cared as much if his partner’s identity wasn’t at risk too, but it was, so James was taking NO risks.

@richardxoliverxmayhew cont. from (X)
Even after Eric had let go, Richard kept his arm wrapped tightly around the other, his hand occasionally offering an assuring pat or two against the side of Eric’s arm, as if he were giving him a physical reminder. ‘I’m here… I’m not leavin’ ye’. I’m righ’ here…’ As much as he wanted to tell Eric his plan, he bit his tongue and said nothing. Instead, he just let Eric cry. He could only begin to imagine how long the likes of somebody like Eric F. Brandon had been holding back those tears. Still, it didn’t matter how brave you were. Sometimes, that was all you could do. Cry. Eventually, Eric spoke. He was on board, or at least he would be willing to hear the Scotsman out. Thank god.– At the mention of him lying, however, Richard tilted his head in confusion. “Wha’ do ye’ mean?” he rasped. As the truth tumbled out, Richard gave Eric’s arm a gentle squeeze before he could even dare to finish that sentence. “–Absolutely not. I a’ready told ye’, Eric, I’m gonna make sure ye’ get outta’ this hell hole alive. I promised ye’, didn’t I?” And Richard Oliver Mayhew always kept his promise. “At least tha’ way ye’ can tell yer’ Da’ yer’self. Besides, I can a’ready tell ye’ tha’ yer’ Da’ would be more than proud of ye’. Why wouldn’t he be? At this point, ye’ have the makin’s of comin’ back a war-hero, like we always talked ‘bout. And if for some reason he’s not then talkin’ some sense into him will be the first thing I’m gonna do when we get outta’ here,” he offered a small but warm smile.
“And, for wha’ it’s worth, I can tell ye’ righ’ now tha’ I’m proud,” Richard added, his voice something of a squeak now, his blue gaze unflinching. Honest. Sincere. “Proud of everythin’ you’ve done,” he continued slowly. “Proud tha’ yer’ my friend. Proud of us.”
It had all just been an act. Boasting about his own bravery, about how he didn’t have a single care in the world – and the story about him enlisting just for fun because he had been drunk out of his mind had been made up completely, too. Truth is, Eric was just a boy. A boy who wanted his cold-hearted father’s attention and approval, if only for a short, fleeting moment. He didn’t care about others’ opinions, what the neighbors were thinking about him; about being a war hero, as Richard said. He just wanted his father to be proud of him for once.
He sniffed and wiped the tears away with his sleeve, then his gaze shifted over to meet Richard’s. Even with the difficulties in the beginning – he had quickly become hjis best friend. Nodding his head, he wrapped his arms around him once more, then finally let off him. “So wh—wha’s yer plan?”

The card had no name on it. In fact it almost looked like a blank piece of paper… That is until one were to open it and a burst of confetti catapults right at the receivers face, before the rather bland phrase, “it is your birthday” is seen printed on the inside.
@richardxoliverxmayhew
His expression is blank as he stares at the card still in his hands, and the confetti so colourful it burns into his eyes. Really, he doesn’t know what he expected. Well. Still better than the nightmare of a singing card he got last year, though…

❛ do i have any choice? ❜ (Again, for any muse you would like! <3)
@warrioroflondonbelow | Aurora
"We ALWAYS have the choice." Aurora's hands stilled, fingertips covered in ash slowly moving away from his face to fall back in her lap.
Between them, the candle burned brightly, a few half-burned herbs and ingredients laying on the ground. A sigil already drawn in the dry dirt and dust.
"If you do not want to be part of el hechizo? Walk away." Aurora's tone wasn't intended as rude, even if it came across a little short - a warning that he would need to leave the room if he wanted OUT.
"I do not make you do la magia if you do not want, but I still do it."

hardly taken aback, the journalist remained silent as her umbrella dripped onto the mat, her dark brows easing upwards the only reaction to the detective’s dry, relatively even keeled, tirade. this was a song and dance she found herself minueting through more often than she could count, as often a burst of bluster as it held real objections on the part of the one standing in her path. and so, she merely listened, waiting for when a crack might present itself and then…
her lips spread into a sweet smile as the older man stepped into view, a chance burgeoning from his expression at the younger man’s explanation. it took years of practice for the triumph of correctly clocking the situation to not bleed onto her expression. perhaps the head detective wouldn’t be so courteous if mayhew hadn’t so royally messed up, clearly within earshot of the man no less.
she almost felt bad for the younger… constable as it turned out. now that earned the man a singularly raised brow for a heartbeat before turning a very warm smile on the detective. ❝ of course not, sir, but thank you nevertheless. i had hoped to not come at too bothersome a time, rain or not. ❞
closing her umbrella and stepping inside the door as the older man left, she turned to the constable with knitted brows. ❝ i don’t know whether i should be offended or not at the blatancy of your lies, but i shall choose to not be. ❞ neither would she note them in her report, however, katherine felt quite put out. it was one thing to conceal the facts of the situation - that she nearly expected - but to lie about who he was on the case. ❝ if you’d be so kind as to tell me what you’re allowed to, i’ll be out of your hair. ❞

Glad that Richard was onboard with Sebastian’s effort to deliver him from his peril, he gestured for his guest to go first up the rickety staircase. ‘Towards the light,’ he put in about half way up, noting the irony only a second afterwards as he threw on an old overcoat he’d found in the rubble at the bottom to cover his wings from Richard’s constantly very worried-looking eyes. He’d prefer to keep his identity to himself until Richard was in a more settled state of mind. Soon enough the light from the cracks in the trapdoor above illuminated them both like ragged sailors beneath the hatch of a ship, and a small thrill at the feel of daylight - or in this case moonlight - went through Sebastian. He had not seen the sky in months. Hadn’t flown anywhere in hundreds of years…
They came out in a huge, high-ceilinged archive filled with shrouded paintings, doors and statues under dust covers, with a large stained glass window at one end. The half uncovered eye of a sphinx stared down at them from across the room. Sebastian turned to dust down Richard’s shoulders with a bittersweet smile. ‘Too long,’ he answered Richard’s question. But if Richard was who the whole of London Below thought he was, then that would soon change… no matter whether Richard won or lost against the Angel Islington, Sebastian would soon be free. Looking into Richard’s face now, the latter did seem more likely. But time is an unpredictable opponent. Sebastian had every faith that the Richard Mayhew of today would not be the Richard Mayhew that fought the Angel when they arrived at the bower which he was one of many cherubim left to guard. The way Richard’s eyes glittered was so human. Sebastian observed him quietly for a long moment, only coming back to himself when a patter of footsteps echoed from behind a door. ‘Don’t worry. They can’t see us,’ he told Richard. ‘Now help me find the boxes of First Century Roman weaponry. There’s a sword someone told me to give you. It belonged to one of the greatest enemies of Christianity in history, a Centurion whose name I forget. Now it’s yours.’
