ㅤ ㅤ Really? Her w̸i̸f̸e̸———Penance hasn’t come round to squabble with her yet? ㅤ

ㅤ Quite fortunate that she cannot read minds… ㅤ

ㅤ Is Betsy willing to test that theory & try her luck … ? ㅤ

ㅤ Smart girl. ㅤ

ㅤ She’s 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘥 them? Have they sent her on a suicide mission? ㅤ

ㅤ Help? Help how, exactly? Who thinks they need help? ㅤ

ㅤ 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨? 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴? The Touched are being taken against their will and exploited every single day, and the fact that her girls want her to sit around and talk about her feelings makes her————𝘮𝘢𝘥. How’s that? Satisfied? ㅤ

ㅤ The truth is, Penance has brought the most brilliant of colours into Amalia’s life. Colours she didn't know could even exist before Penance. But that's 𝘯𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦'𝘴 business but her own. ㅤ

ㅤ Is there even any point in arguing? Penance has clearly already gotten beneath Betsy’s skin … but if the girls are now 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯, all the more reason to leave the topic of 𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 alone. And find better use of their time. ㅤ

ㅤ Oh, that’s fine. She’ll corner Betsy later, maybe after she’s let Penance in on this ridiculous effort. ㅤ

ㅤ It has been far too quiet around St. Romaulda's for Amalia's comfort. ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤ Well… Amalia 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 be a bit suspicious of @IntangibleFlair’s silence. ㅤ ㅤ

ㅤ Perhaps … in a perfect world. One where a building filled with quiet young ladies doesn’t almost 𝙜𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙚 scheming. ㅤ

╱ this still stands, but i appreciate any moments in which amalia's withered and toughened little heart is provided the opportunity to soften and grow through moments of vulnerability, thanks 🤍

ㅤ Is that so? … does he know? ㅤ
