She looked up to Rhaener and felt trapped. So trapped. For a wild moment she thought about asking him to get her out. To be one of those girls. To escape the night court. Lips parted, the question on the tip of her tongue. But it never came. Because she knew the consequences it would...

"He knew something?" She took another step back, her frown increasing. Flickers of pain and betrayal flashed across her face. Warring emotions with different targets. "He just told me he had to speak to father. He didn't say...," her voice trailed off. Sadie Lusce felt betrayed by her dear...

It was hard for Sadie Lusce to relax against him. Even as he pulled her into his strong embrace. She was...agitated. And needed to move. Still. There was something calming about being held by Rhaener Nadir. When he was close, his scent did that to her. It called out to her. She quickly...

"I don't understand," Sadie's mind whirled as she paced in front of her childhood friend. She did not join him on the bed. Her...feathers were too ruffled. She'd pace to the dresser. Pause, then turn. Then pace to the window, pause, then turn. And so forth. "You come from a good family...

With a flap of wings and feathers, she hopped in and flew past him. Midair, her form began to change and lengthen and for a moment there was a shimmer of magic in the air. Then Sadie Lusce stood before Rhaener, a garnet dress hugging her body. Her expression wasn't what he might expect. It...

Rhaener would wake to an urgent pecking on his window. Peck. peck.peck.peckpeck. If he walked over, he'd see a majestic looking red-tailed hawk standing on a ledge to his back-bedroom window in the early evening drizzle. Intelligent eyes would gleam beyond the glass, waiting mostly...

The breeze increased enough that it shifted her dry curtain of red-hair across her face. Nudged some of the lighter objects around on the bathroom countertops. Plucked at the threads and folds of her dress. She felt hollow and empty. Worn and grated. But most of all...trapped. The wind...

He was handsome. She felt color flare up her pale skin at the thought of Rhaener gaze. His eyes as he asked if she was alright. That dark hair her hands had brushed out of his face. The dopey little smile he got when he saw her wearing one of his shirts the other morning... The brush...

"They're fine. They mostly wanted to know more about Rhaener than if I was okay," a half roll of her eyes and slight shake of her head. She couldn't blame them though. Rhaener was a ray of sunshine in an otherwise bleak place. Golden eyes widened at Saang's words. A tsk of her lips...

Fingers worked the red tangles free gently and deftly. He really had the best hair. She would readily admit it. A flinch as his fingers made contact with her chin. For a moment she heard the pounding of a bass, flashing lights and a drunken, possessive voice as rough fingers gripped her chin...

With all of her siblings, Sadie would claim she was probably closest with her brother. They’d had a hundred or so years together before the others came along. So she didn’t hesitate when he said to come in. Nose twitched at the smell as the warm, steamy air enveloped her. “Is that new soap?”...

She was perhaps one of the more patient sisters of the family. And so, Sadie Lusce managed to finish a few chapters of the Summer and Winter volume. Finger trailed along the text. ...and then the greatly benevolent Queen Mab fell into her lover's bed to... Sadie blinked. No, no that...

Sadie was upstairs in her room. A room with a set of floor to ceiling windows overlooking the cliff their manor perched upon. And while those panes took the brunt of the storm giant assaults, the inside was warm, organized, and smelled of old parchment and fresh flowers. Over-filled book cases...

She swallowed and finally allowed her gaze to lift, looking at her mother. "Mama...I-I'm sorry," she admitted. She'd learned early on always better to admit wrong and apologize. Saved a lot of backlash that way. "I should've sent word." Shyreen sighed and stabbed a piece of fruit with her...

"Umhm," was all she said, her facial expression very clearly conveying that she did not buy Rhaener's shit. They were ushered into the dining room. Sadie wasn't sure where her sisters were. They must've scurried back to their rooms or perhaps they were eavesdropping on the conversation from...
