its keeping me awake

Lilac gaze watched as Toxicity stirred within the shared fur bed, causing a couple of bodies to shift as she removed herself. Deathbelle lifted her head and looked to Zee beside her, gently so she didn’t wake her servant Belle carefully made it to her paws as her daughter walked in front of her. Already her future height showed in her growing body. Her disproportionate paws and long legs, her lanky body. Likely all of them would take after their father.

”Toxi,” she used a pet name that hadn’t been uttered since the girl was a tiny puppy. Belle’s voice was soft, and she moved to pace after the young godlet. Belle aimed a comforting nuzzle to her daughter’s cheek. ”You’re up early.” She said as they passed through the threshold out into the cold air outside. She instantly wished she brought a fur with her.

Belle sighed softly, wondering about the coincidence of their wakefulness. ”I woke from an unpleasant dream.” She offered quietly in confession, usually unwilling to reveal such weaknesses to her offspring just yet. She knew they were not blind though, and knew their mother hurt like they did.
