I SHALL SING YOU THE SWEETEST DREAM

Desiree would ask of Vi's leg, how long it would hinder her and if she would ever be back to fully shape again. Vi could not answer, eyes closing slowly as nose would tip downwards. There was no way to know at this point, Vi couldn't answer even if she wanted too so instead she would lift her one good shoulder in a non committal shrug. And then her whole world would implode. Vi had hoped that tossing in the other names may have helped but no, if anything it made it worse. She would leave her eyes closed for the moment, soaking in her wrath, basking in her rage. Trophies? We're they her trophies? Yes, without a doubt. "When I'm with you it's unconditional, I can honestly say I've never felt what I feel for you with anyone else. I could never see you hurt, I would burn this whole fucking place down before I could see you hurt. With them... I just trust them. I can't explain it. I do not lust after them as I do you. I love Sibelle as a sister, Scorpion is a bastard but he knows how to work. Crucifix..." She would fail off, struggling to find words to describe how she had felt about Crucifix. Did she like him more then she was letting on? "I think I did. For a short time during the plague. Nothing happened... It's just. I was terrified and he was there for me to lean on when I didn't feel strong enough. I thought I would loose you and Fia and I panicked. After I learned that there had been fatalities I panicked. I just... I panicked..." There it was again, the feeling in her chest. It tightened and squeezed, threatening to burst. She had never hated herself more then she did now. "I was stupid and I regret even feeling that way. I don't know if it was just a little crush or if he felt the same. I don't care to know. I promise you it is gone now. If you wish I can send him away to Valhalla, I will do anything you ask of me..." Her gaze was back to Desiree now, she would look up at the woman steadily. Would she agree or simply leave Vi here in the swamp to rot. That's all Vi could do if Desiree left. All this was for her! Vi had begun building this empire for her and their children!
