the only one

Plague didn’t hesitate to approach her when he arrived in the great hall at the giant squirrel’s behest. She’d noticed he’d seemed taller these days, like he had finally hit his full height a little later in life. It was becoming of him. She lowered her crown, closed her eyes, and smiled as he pressed his nose to the top of her head affectionately. He had fully come into his own since he became a father. He was never so focused or so confident as he was now. Qualities she was so grateful and proud of. Most importantly of all, he was understanding and he was loyal. He’d been there for her in some capacity their whole lives.

She wanted to know she appreciated him and everything he did for her. Especially right now as she struggled through the challenges facing her. The challenges she shoved violently from her mind so she could focus solely on her brother like he deserved. Venom smiled and gestured towards the second placement before her. "My appreciation.” She told him simply enough as she made herself comfortable. "A nice dinner… and a gift.” Venom lifted the tiny package towards Plague’s attention. Inside he would find a gilded bracelet with four little beads. Each one glittering to represent his four children. Ruby and onyx beads for all but Seere’s marble stained pendant. Venom gestured for him to open the gift to see inside.
