            'm not so sure i should, darlin' —  [  rosa begins with hesitance, but it soon begins to fade when she really considers the younger's frustration. armand hardly noticed her absence these days. he merely tolerated her presence when she was around. maybe..  bending the rules is what she needed. ]   you know what, i think it’d do us both some good. i can feel these walls closing in around me even on the days that are alright.  (..)  you got any spots  to show me?
            
            /  HELLO!!  i’ve missed you too  <33  and your portrayal of claudia!

            always a pleasure, aren't you?   [  her eyebrow raises, though what's more apparent in rosa's features is the sheer awkwardness of this reunion. she thought it would never happen, after all. ]    it's almost comforting, to know you've changed so little, after all this time.

            it's not my doing, claudia. you’re worth far more than a role that ridicules you.   [  she responds carefully, after a quiet consideration. her lips purse together, dark eyes drifting over to the blonde wig that sits on her vanity. ]  between you 'n me..   [  her voice hushes, gaze directed firmly now at the girl. ]    my idea was the same as your truth.  (..)   i know how you feel. people who are the way this community are, they'll give you everythin' you thought you ever dreamed for while chippin away slowly at who you are. anything that doesn't fit their mould, their idea of you, it's chopped away. all of a sudden, you're a bird in a gilded cage - but they'll never forget you can be replaced as quickly as you were made if you try to slide between the bars.   [  she shakes her head, fingertips grazing over her wig. ]   the blonde wig, the white sparkling dress…  it ain't the real me. just like that child ain't the real you.

how’d you do it  ?  (  claudia looked at the older vampire as she spoke looking around the room to make sure that there was nobody else here listening  .  she knew armand wouldn’t take it lightly if she was heard complaining  .  she turned her attention back to rosa  ,  speaking in a hushed tone  .  )  it’s t’ play  .  i know i should be grateful for everythin’ you’ve done for me here but  ,  ‘m losin’ my mind playin’ a little girl every night  —  it’s demeaning  .  (  .  .  .  )  what idea you got  ?

(  @feufatale  )
            
            you 'n me both, cariño. i made my peace with it a long time ago.   [  rosa looks up and turns her body slightly, offering her full attention to the young vampire. her brow knits in concern. ]    do you want to talk about what’s botherin' you?   though i might have an idea.

*/   so...  is  this  a  sign...

/  COME BACK ITS LONELY OVER HERE

@feufatale  /  you're too kind, tysm!!  <33

……… THE TRUTH IS I NEVER LEFT YOU.

I'LL TAKE THAT AND MORE WHEN I GO TO MY GRAVE.

ALL YOUR LIFE, DID YOU KNOW 
            YOU'D BE PICKED…  LIKE A ROSE.
