tws: death because of time, but it's not on screen. The rest of this is fairly fluffy, because I feel bad after the last one.
Odelle stared up at the portraits of her extended family in front of her. She placed a hand on her stomach as she did so. The portraits in Portrait Hall glared and stared back at her. It was intimidating, she thought. But she'd also thought that when she'd first met Ornella Crow. Ornella was still definitely scary, but Odelle had caught her mother-in-law with baby clothes in her arms last week, so that had confirmed that Ornella had a soft side at least.
Odelle didn't know what had brought her to the hall. A mother's instinct maybe? But she was uncertain if the child had to be born first in order to experience that, or if said child had to be in danger. Odelle felt a swell of protective anger at the thought of her future child being in danger. She quickly shook her head at the emotions. Pregnancy hormones must be getting to her.
As she left the hall, a certain picture caught her eye. It was the picture of a woman with dark eyes, the painter having used a dark green-blue for shadows. She was dressed in a dark red dress and she had skin the color of coffee. The style was different to the more recent portraits, telling Odelle that there was a different artist and this was a while ago.
It was the name that really caught Odelle's eye. Morrian Crow, it read. Odelle stared for a few more seconds, before a thought came to mind. Morrigan! Odelle loved the name, and surely Ornella would too if she knew it was derived from a relative of Corvus! Smiling, Odelle left the hall with a hand on her stomach.
