     this is a small hiatus note.       a mini hiatus if you’d like.       i won’t be home this weekend and i’ve been in a writing funk lately,       so i’ll spend the weekend at mom’s and probably do some reading.      plus it’s my brother’s bday so we’re celebrating that.        i will be back tho.

betraeyer​,     regulus black.

he’s in the courtyard when he notices zoya approach.     or rather,     his friends straighten their backs and avert their gazes from a figure over his shoulder,     and he thinks there are only few people they’d do that for.     at the sound of her voice and the request that leaves her,     he nods instantly.     whether it be to scold,     or to ask something of him,     or be it news of nina and her whereabouts and such news is something he is desperate for,     he’ll hear it.

the purple and red keftas at his side leave them,     regulus falls into step beside her with his hands clasped behind his back.     at once he feels filled with nerves,     an uncommon and unwelcome feeling that leaves him unbalanced.      ❛  urgent,     you said.  ❜     he says,     the statement laced with hints of intrigue and confusion.     and though he knows zoya might berate him for his attachment and sentimentality in the midst of war,     he asks her anyway,      ❛  is there news of nina?  ❜

               saints,     she wishes it was news of nina.      it haunted her mind more often than not that she was lost.         that zoya had let her wander off,       she had been her commanding officer that night,      and she had lost her.       the weight on her shoulder never faltered.     however,      there’s a slight satisfaction in the respect from the fellow grisha soldiers as she walks onto the training ground.     walking next to regulus,       giving him a gentle nod as she tries to loosen up.

               ❛     no,      i’m afraid not.      ❜       her voice is sharp,      cuts through glass.       she still has hope,      she tries to.      even if she has begun to mourn her.        the chances of getting nina back were low.      slim to none,      and she knew that regulus knew this too.         ❛     it’s news from your parents.        they’ve sent for you,       for your return.       ❜

               the hearing had shocked her.      shaken her to her bones,       wondering when she’d learn to always expect the unexpected from him.      her,     a queen.       he had thought that she’d be a good queen.      she wasn’t so sure.      zoya may look like a rose,       but she had thorns.      and many of them.      she’d cut and bruise her way through the world,       the fire burns inside of her.       the fire of a dragon.

               ❛     have you absolutely lost your mind,     nikolai    ?       ❜          arms cross over her chest,      a brow perked at him.        she was honored,      that he’d think her suitable for this.       but she did not think of herself as a queen.        ❛      what if i can’t do it  ?        what if i fail them all   ?       ❜          what if i fail you  ?         what if she ruined what he had built up.        the thought was terrifying.

                  his chambers,       her new chambers.        it felt weird to be in there,      wrong even.       she misses her room in the little palace.       she wants to send for him,       longs to see him.        as if once she had opened the door for love,      it refused to shut again.        as if he was stuck in her head.

                 but almost as if he read her mind,       there is a knock to her door.       walking to it and opening.      wearing her silk dress,      the one she’d usually sleep in.       her lips curve into a smile when she sees him.        ❛     nikolai,      i thought you’d be asleep by now.      ❜            but she opens the door,      come inside.       hoping he’ll stay.

               the weight of loss is heavy on her shoulders,       it weighs upon all of them.       she has her garden,      grows a flower for each of their friends that they’ve lost.       each an ally.       she now has one for nina zenik too.       that one had been one of the hardest to plant.         her walk towards the black is prideful.      her chin tilts upwards,       she will be strong.         she will be brave,      and power through this.         ❛     regulus,      a word please   ?     ❜

               his parents had sent word,       asked for him back.       but the war had taken it’s toll and they were lacking soldiers.       however,       she would not force it upon anyone to stay.       she would like to have the talk with him,       herself.          ❛     it’s an urgent matter.      ❜

And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone.
