Octavia: [offscreen] Mummy! Daddy!
[Stolas is roused from his sleep. He turns to Stella who has most of the blanket.]
Stolas: [sleepily] Via's calling us, Stella.
Stella: [sleepily] You get up.
[Stolas sighs and gets out of bed, and enters Octavia's room, where she is hiding beneath her blankets.]
Stolas: Via? What troubles you, my owlet?
Octavia: [sobbing] Daddy! Daddy! I had a dream! A really bad dream!
Stolas: [yawns and wipe away Octavia’s tear] a nightmare.
Octavia: I was looking all over the palace, and... I couldn't find you anywhere! You weren't there!
[Stolas summons his Grimoire to him telekinetically, and flips it open.]
Stolas: There there, Via, it's okay; you're okay. When you're scared and you don't know where I am, you must remember: no matter what happens to me, I will never be far away from my special little Starfire.
♫ It always seems more quiet in the dark ♫
♫ It always feels so stark ♫
♫ How silence grows under the moon ♫
♫ Constellations gone so soon ♫
♫ I used to think that I was bold ♫
♫ I used to think love would be fun ♫
♫ Now all my stories have been told except for one... ♫
♫ As the stars start to align ♫
♫ I hope you take it as a sign ♫
♫ That you'll be okay. Everything will be okay ♫
♫ And if the Seven Rings collapse ♫
♫ Although the day could be my last ♫
♫ You will be okay. When I'm gone you'll be okay... ♫
♫ And when Creation goes to die ♫
♫ You can find me in the sky ♫
♫ Upon the last day ♫
♫ And you will be okay... ♫
[His lullaby finished, Stolas leaves as his daughter settles to sleep, content. Cut to several years later, where she is jolted awake by smashing objects and screaming, far less content.]
Stella: [offscreen] I can't believe you slept with an imp, IN OUR FUCKING BED!
Stolas: [offscreen] It was unexpected! I didn't have time to go to a motel!
Stella: [offscreen] A motel?! Like a fucking plebeian?!
[Octavia grabs her phone, and puts in earbuds, starting a pop song as she strides down the halls of the estate, stepping over the smashed remains of a plant thrown in her path. In the kitchen, Stella continues screaming at Stolas.]
Stella: You want to fuck this one, too?!
[Stella grabs an imp servant and violently tosses him in Stolas' direction.]
Stolas: No! Of course not!
Stella: You are a God damn embarrassment! I'm not spending another moment looking at your pathetic, imp-sucking face!
