              ﹐     sh..    she did?⠀ ⠀ ❜⠀ ⠀ ⠀ the knave quickly turns around,    eyes showing an emotion that...     did not fit the persona of 'the knave'.  ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ❛⠀ ⠀ oh,   i tried not to hit her so harshly...     truly,   i⎯⎯she wouldn't listen,   she kept disturbing the other children and disrupting..    i know she wanted the attention,    but it shouldn't have been in that manner.    i'll go apologize to her.⠀ ⠀ ❜

"⠀but not all the time.⠀"   a light laugh,  one supposes they have their methods with the children.  still— sometimes,  seeing them cry makes him feel..  sorry.   "⠀you know what she did?  she came crying,  and said:  ‘father did it again’  and wailed endlessly.⠀"   a sigh.  it can be tiring handling the loud ones...

              ﹐     i know you do.     i'm trying my best.     the twins might visit soon,    did they tell you?    i do not know when but soon...    they've missed you.⠀ ⠀ ❜

"⠀i understand,  the work of a harbinger is nothing to sneeze at.   still i appreciate you even make the effort to stop by every once in a while.⠀"

              ﹐     next time...    hm,    hopefully so.⠀ ⠀ ❜⠀ ⠀ ⠀  as one hand interlocks with rosalio's,    the other begins the unbuttoning of her suit.    her favorite part of the day,    easily.    she loved removing her overly fancy clothes and being in her home clothes.     it also meant a much more domestic environment between rosalio and her,    she enjoyed whenever she got those. 

"⠀no worries,  there is always next time.⠀"   smiled rosalio,  despite how dim it had been.  the warn light from the lamp truly complimented her features,  with her tresses gracefully removed from the confines of the band ── his eyes glint with adoration.   "⠀i'd be more than happy to.⠀"  the lamp is taken,  the other hand slipping to hold her hand.  with no time to spare,  they begin to walk to their private chambers.

              ﹐     work is the same as usual..    tiring,    missing my children.    missing you.    traveling.   same as usual.. ⠀ ⠀ ❜⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ there's a heavy sigh.    she loves her job,   don't get her wrong.    she has the most fun at her job.     but home is where she is now.   side by side with rosalio,    with the kids.  

"⠀mm,   so how's work?⠀"   queries 'mother',  they are now settled in a room—  likely her office with how the furnishings are esque in her style.   he went on and prepared the tea.

              ﹐     there's a quick smile at the touch,    it disappears almost too quickly as they follow the demonstrated path.    she could visit once every three months and she could never forget the layout of this place,    being here brought such a sense of tranquility.  ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ❛⠀ ⠀ i would love some tea.⠀ ⠀ ❜
