Notes-semi slice-of-life? Just a thing that happens at some point.
The city is quieter than usual at night.
Even so, Estella hears Ninian approach, in every way from her heartbeat to her footsteps.
"You have finished hunting." It isn't a question.
"Yes." Her voice is loud enough to startle her-Estella's senses are hard to shut off.
"Good." Estella leans back. "Is...has Della eaten?"
"I gave them to her."
"Fetch my tea." She waves a hand, sharp and pale in the black night.
“But, my lady, I came to-“
“Save your blood. You need it for your work.“
She hears her footsteps go off, and Estella returns to staring at the sky through the window.
Her eyes are sensitive, too, but they are the only thing that is not a curse with her state-not unless there is light. Estella sees the people rushing on the street, can see each one of their pores. She closes her eyes, blocking it out.
It's not quiet. It never is.
But perhaps it gives her enough peace to think, if anything in the world can.
