"sorry, i fucked your wife." blitza croaked, flashing a razor-toothed grin at prince stellan before getting out of that courtyard before he noticed the priceless artifact of his tucked under her arm and murdered her for stealing it (and for fucking...
[A/N: So here's another OC. His name's Cassian, he's Andrealphus's son and Octavia's bestie. I don't believe Octavia has any friends, or maybe she does but we'd never know since she has such limited screentime, so I wanted to give her one.]
"Cassian, come in here for a minute." Andrealphus called from where he was sitting at his vanity, applying blue eyeliner to his tear ducts. Cassian came to stand in the doorway, cellphone in hand.
You're still coming over, right? He texted to Octavia.
Are you kidding me? We haven't seen each other in eons! We gotta catch up. She texted back. We're just stuck in traffic.
"Are you certain you want to wear that outfit, Cassian?" Andrealphus asked, levelling an unimpressed look at his son's outfit. It was a black hoodie with blue stars on the front and the sleeves, and black jeans.

[A/N: Cassian has naturally blue hair just like Andrealphus, but he dyes it black cuz he likes that colour more]
"Dad, it's literally just Via and Aunt Starla. Why do we have to dress up for them?"
"It's not about who it is, it's about the fact guests are coming to our home, so we should be presentable."
"You just want any excuse to play dress-up." He huffed. "And seriously, Dad, do you always have to dress in those flamboyant ice-themed clothes? Everyone knows you're all about ice just by looking at you, even if you wore regular clothes."
Andrealphus rolled his eyes at the teenager's attitude and got up from the vanity. "Oh look, they're here." He said, looking out his window to see Starla's carriage pull into the driveway.
Cassian immediately rushed downstairs and into the driveway. The moment Octavia got out of the carriage, Cassian gave her a hug that almost knocked her down.
"Via! Oh, I missed you so much!" He said with his beak buried in her hair.
"I missed you too." She chuckled, hugging him back.
As Starla got out, Cassian pulled away from Octavia and smiled up at the older woman. "What's up, Aunt Starla?" He said, shaking her hand and then giving her hand a kiss. He'd always found hand-kissing kinda corny (this isn't medieval times!) but his father says that's how you're supposed to greet women.
The 3 of them walked into the ice palace, Cassian and Octavia side-by-side with Starla trailing behind them.
"Oh, you're here." Andrealphus said, crossing his arms as he looked at Starla.
"Lovely to see you too." She deadpanned, narrowing her eyes into an equally venomous glare.
Andrealphus sighed irritably. "Come in, then, no need to be pettily at each other's throats."
The adults disappeared into another room together (probably to just shoot passive aggressive insults at each other while they drank tea together). Cassian grabbed Octavia's wrist and led her upstairs to his bedroom.
