amyselia 2962 Share Posted April 10, 2025 From within the walls of Castle Casquenova, Rosceline spoke Roger (@Vikenz)'s ear off in a way that she would be ashamed to have others witness, hope and naiveté for life embosoming her like an overbearing mother wanting her trapped in the warmth of childhood. " - And we will be heirs to make our forefathers proud." She boasted amid laughs, the thought of a distant past lingering allthewhile. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikenz 1162 Share Posted April 10, 2025 Roger leaned against the cold stone of the window's edge, eyes tracing the hills beyond the ramparts, awaiting the news of his brother's return as Rosceline's voice filled the chamber. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
