(   portia   ).

@choicelesshope·: “ this… is really going to hurt. ” ( nish to portia! )

Terribly erroneous it would be to claim that Portia was medically inclined. She hardly had the eye for spotting subtle injuries, nor the steady hand to properly tend to a wound. Such traits lied predominantly within her brother’s realm of expertise, but that was hardly of any help when he was elsewhere. No matter, the handmaiden trusted her skills enough so that outwardly she managed an expression of assurance, even if doubt curled through her mind like a bitter reminder of the education she’d not received. 

“Nonsense! Don’t even worry about it at all, I’ll fix it up in no time.” The redhead coaxed the other woman to lay back on the couch where a curious Pepi was waiting to curl up at Nish’s side. Kneeling beside it on the rug Portia sifted through the bag she’d planted beside herself, nose crinkled in concentration. The little aid bag was something she’d put together herself and still…

That didn’t seem to mean it was any more organized. The fact that she’d been able to find it had been fortunate in itself. 

A smile solely for the purpose of assuaging her present company’s nerves tugged at her lips as she blew an unruly strand of hair from her face, a mirror of ease and warmth only slightly frayed at the edges by the minor disorganization she could berate herself for later. “Wanna tell me what happened?” She could try to guess how the apprentice had managed to get injured if she truly wanted, but Portia was nothing if not a willing ear to listen and the flow of pleasant conversation would hopefully serve as a viable distraction from less pleasant realities.

though she could hardly say all foul disposition had found a way to leave her body ( no, with the occasional bite of pain coming from her wound a reminder of last night and all of her choices ) nish easily came to notice how hard it was to cling onto anger when her company was portia and her smile: the sunny room in her beautiful home, her cat looking at her with big bright eyes. hell, it almost felt like the cozy images offered in tales, the stories for children to make them know safety, and peace. 

❝ sure you’re just a handmaiden? damn, you spoke that one like a true nurse, all genius hands and years of expertise on her. ❞ she delivered with the beginning of a smile; gratitude before following her instruction and finally settling on the couch, fear receding to no more than a murmur on her throat. you’d think—that with all of her recklessness, the frequency of how many times trouble and she had met eye to eye, the apprentice would have learned a thing or two about tending to her own wounds, or—at the very least, how to go through a procedure with a stoic face and no comments about how annoying it all was. in reality, nish had but the patience of an eight-year-old, and a penchant for drama asra loved to tease every now and then.

which reminded her—

❝ oh, about that… ❞ her question, the many truths that it involved. certainly, the possibility of lying to her and taking her attention elsewhere came to her instinctually; a habit learned quite some time ago and one she used carelessly nowadays. yet—if it was like that, why didn’t words came out of her mouth the moment that she requested it, like it had been for her after almost every turn of events? well, perhaps… her exhaustion didn’t only come from her body right now; she felt tired—worn out by the weight of silence, somehow.

and... she didn't like it a single bit.

❝ asr—my master, he left last night for the millionth time this year. despite asking him not to, as if that ever helped in the past. ❞ and right in the middle of a job requested by the countess herself, no less ( one she would have appreciated as much help from her mentor from all things ). ❝ and—you know, his things are at the store, his so-easily-to-vandalize-in-a-rage-fit things and i hoped that a walk would do me any sort of good but—well, i ran into some people that i know and… it was all fun and games until we were running from a guard for reasons i sincerely cannot recall. ❞ she confessed with a bit of laugh; turning to her and raising an eyebrow before adding to that. ❝ i’m an excellent wall climber should you ever need one, but last night—god, that wasn’t one of my best performances at all. ❞

okay, it maybe felt a little better to not hold onto that on her own. ❝ any… chance you can keep that between us so your remarkable boss doesn’t fire me for now? i might... not be done enjoying both the company and the kitchen’s heavenly pastries just yet. ❞

IM SORRY IM SO SORRY AAAAAAAAA— ok, so,,, my thesis happened, and then my new job happened, and i got a little sick and also had to travel a few times from my hometwon to the capital and back and i COMPLETELY forgot i had a blog or a life hhhhhh. and i was thinking about this a few days ago maybe considering not coming back but i just,,, i love it too much here so ill try to give it another ago. so, maybe,,, hi and would anyone want to keep writing with me for old times sake?
