I wonder if she'll have magic like you. [After a moment, Myri blinks and puts a hand on her stomach.] Or if Shayla will have magic like I do.

[It was a thought that she simply hadn't entertained. Witchwoman were not supposed to be able to conceive a child. The ability wasn't passed on genetically. It simply appeared or was taught. She's realizing more and more how many unknowns there still are here.]

Does it feel... I keep thinking I'll suddenly feel prepared for this at some point. And you've been waiting for it so much longer than I have, so I just... wondered if maybe it felt more...

[She's not even sure what word she's looking for. She just moves her hand, like Vi should definitely be able to sort out the idea she's going for here. And maybe she can. She seems to be able to pick up what Myri's going for a lot of the time.]
graveflowers: (Ω thinking about it)

No, I still have no idea what I'm doing. [ but luckily she had a similar freak out with hayley and got some extremely good advice she's about to pass on like she's a sage, noble mother. ] You're never going to be prepared, but when it's your baby in your arms, you're going to do fine.

I dunno if Lu's going to get gifts from my mom, I honestly hope that she doesn't. She's more mortal than divine so hopefully she'll feel less pulled apart like I do, but if she does, I mean, no one is going to understand better than I do. If Shay has magic like you do, she's going to have the best teacher already -- You.

[ gives your child a nickname before she's born, deal with it.

she shrugs, reaching out to catch myri's fluttering hand in her own, twisting their fingers together automatically. ]
You are gonna be an incredible mother, Myr. You're kind and gentle and you will protect her to the ends of the earth and then some, and she will know every single day just how loved she is, even when she's a horrible demon teenager and doesn't want to listen, your daughter will always know she's loved. Everything else... we can tackle when it happens.

[ we. they've always been a team the two of them, by choice, but now they actually need each other. ]

[The moment Vi's hand reaches hers, it's like there's a visible drain of tension from her shoulders, her entire frame sagging as if she's been holding her breath for weeks and only now allowing herself to exhale.

She's had so many people to lean on. Buffy and Mark and Elena and... Well, no one has turned her away. Some are less comfortable than others (like Kat), but it's been a conscious effort on Myri's part to not put too much of her worries on Vi's shoulders. Truthfully, the woman has enough of her own to worry about. On top of everything else, she knows well enough by now to know that any of the colder months simply aren't the best time to pile more on Vi's plate.

But if she's honest with herself, Myri's felt a bit lost lately. Finnick and Vi have been the core of her makeshift family- the ones she thought would always be close by, even as the others might splinter off to follow dreams elsewhere. She just assumed it would be the three of them (and any additions that may come over the years) until the end of their days.

But with that sense of stability rattled, with the certainty of it ripped away and left with questions there just aren't answers to... Myri can't help but want to cling to Vi for a piece of what they used to have, even if it's not the same, even if it may never be the same.]


It's funny. I know without a shadow of a doubt what a wonderful mother you'll be. Not traditional, of course, but wonderful in your own way- as you are with everything. But when I think of what I might do with a child to raise? I just... can't imagine it. [She takes a deep breath and gives Vi's hand a small squeeze, reminding herself that it's alright to feel this way. That's what she would tell anyone else who might say these things to her, at least.]

Which is why I'm glad it happened that we're doing this together. I feel less... lost thinking of having you there with me, figuring it out as we go.
graveflowers: (Ω partnering)

[ their lives have been sort of ripped apart. all the stable pieces vi's had have been yanked away from her -- except myri. she could have voiced the same fears and concerns -- she'd always assumed luthir and finnick would always be at their sides and then

they weren't.

vi is still reeling from luthir, the loss of finnick (whatever permanency there may or may not be to his condition) has stayed on the back burner because she doesn't want to give up hope, even if it seems there is little. she's stubborn to a fault, this is one of those times that she's not fighting her nature. ]


Well, we do always seem to see the best in everyone else, but only the worst in ourselves, makes sense we wouldn't be able to see how great we're gonna be with little humans.

[ she uses her grip on the other woman to tug her a little closer. ] Anything you don't think you can teach Shayla, I've got it. All the stuff I know I can't teach Lucia, I know you'll make sure she knows. Between the two of us...

[ she trails off, but the end of the thought is obvious enough. they'll manage, they'll muddle through together, pulling in little threads from the rest of their make shift family so that while the loss of their fathers will never really go away, it will be less hard to the girls to accept. that's all vi really wants, for lucia grow up safe and happy and loved, knowing that luthir was a good person that loved her beyond measure and that she was made from that love. ]

If we do get lost -- [ she looks down at her converse and her messily tied laces. her bunny is still hopelessly directionally challenged. ] -- the others will find us. I'd say we could leave breadcrumbs, but Amaranth would probably eat them.

[As if summoned by the mention of breadcrumbs, Amaranth pokes his head around the corner and comes to wedge himself between the two of them. He fits neatly, slipping between their legs and shifting in such a way to press his body against both of them so that as he gives a loud purr, the vibrations can be felt by both women.

Myri glances down at her familiar and smiles weakly, tears in her eyes as she looks back up at Vi. They haven't fallen yet, but threaten to do so with each passing second.]


I know you're right. I know it'll be fine. Somehow. It always is, even with... everything. [Danger and torture and death and madness and war and... wow, their lives are intense.]
graveflowers: (Ω distracted)

[ she knew he couldn't be far. only time would tell when he would show his cat-dragon face. she just gave him an introduction. ]

We get through, that's what the good side does. We persevere. [ evil cheats, they only have to win once. good as to keep fighting. even when it's just against the bad thoughts in their own heads. ]

[He just wanted to give the girls their space without getting in their business. He prefers to do his babysitting from the shadows until he needs to sassy gay flywacket your ass. But he knows they could both use some support so hi. He's hanging out now.]

It's exhausting. [She admits with a sigh of an exhale. It's possibly the most honest thing she's said in a very long time. Being good? Is one of the most exhausting things in the world.]
graveflowers: (Ω relaxed.)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2015-06-28 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't it? [ she's bitterly complained about it already, whining because she's sick of fighting but the fight never fucking ends. ] I hate it. I'm so tired and all I want is a break but... it's not gonna happen. There's always going to be something else to fight. And one day it'll be Shayla and Lucia's job to fight.

[ even if they're not knights. they're going to be good. ]
witchwoman: (pic#9091919)

[personal profile] witchwoman 2015-07-01 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
I try not to think about it. [Their babies fighting, that is. They aren't even born yet. She doesn't want to think about them throwing themselves into the fray.}

One thing at a time is enough. Let's just focus on bringing them into the world first.
graveflowers: (Ω conversation.)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2015-07-02 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it's always been a foregone conclusion for vi, at least for lucia. vi was raised in this sort of environment, as much as she can remember, kids like her always found their way to the legion and she didn't think much would change with her progeny. she was born to protect people, the knights were the best way to do that, she doesn't imagine that will change for her daughter.

but she shrugs, knowing it's different for myri. ]
Well, that is the easy part. Just push and scream until they throw a baby at you.

[personal profile] witchwoman 2015-07-06 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
I've been at the side of enough women to know that it can be a bit more complicated than that. [She gives a small laugh and shakes her head.]

My body isn't meant for this, though. Witchwomen don't have children. I'm the first that I've ever heard of. Conceiving was enough of a miracle. I suppose I'm just worried about what might happen.
graveflowers: (Ω watching)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2015-07-06 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
You'll be fine, Myri. I helped a werewolf give birth, Solace and I will make sure you're okay. [ she reaches out to squeeze her friend's arm. ]
witchwoman: (Default)

[personal profile] witchwoman 2015-07-06 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[She takes a breath and nods.]

If we aren't going into labor at the same time. [she may be sort of hoping that happens just for the joy of their daughters having the same birthday. Think of the parties tho.]
graveflowers: (Ω you're cute)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2015-07-07 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
What, you think I can't multitask? I will supervise your labor while I'm nursing if I have to. Nothing, Myrilandel, will stop me from being there if that's what you want. [ NOTHING, MYRI. NOTHING. ]
witchwoman: (Default)

[personal profile] witchwoman 2015-07-07 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be sure to call you once I know it's actually happening. [She's seen enough false labor in her day okay.]

I most certainly want you with me, Vi.
graveflowers: (Ω cheerful)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2015-07-07 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, good. [ she grins because she doesn't want to barge in on myri's labor, but she will if she has to. luckily, she doesn't have to. ]
witchwoman: (pic#9091924)

[personal profile] witchwoman 2015-07-08 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
I should get back to work, I suppose. Are you alright in here?
graveflowers: (Ω over shoulder)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2015-07-08 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'll be fine. [ she might die of boredom, but other than that ] I'll see you later.
