Stuffy and Eluuna's 1 on 1!

The distant sound of the cello floated downstairs and James looked around curiously.

 

Poppy was in the library, playing harmonics, her brow furrowed. She still had porridge in her hair.

 

She paused for a second, sighed, and set down her bow.

"Hey, Craw."

 

She looked at him over her shoulder, her brows still furrowed.

“I figured.”

 

She was quiet for a moment, her brows furrowed as she reached up and pulled out the porridge. Finally, she sighed and stood up.

“Could you close the door for a moment, please?”

 

She sat in the windowsill, resting her head against the wood.

“I’m worried about Diana.”

 

She seemed hesitant and troubled, not meeting his gaze.

“I think... I think I’ve spoiled her.”

 

She pinched the bridge of her nose and spoke quickly as she did when she was growing panicked.

“I just... I didn’t say no to her because I felt guilty that I wasn’t paying enough attention to her when James came along, a-and that seemed to make her more upset that I wasn’t focusing on her, and now she’s mad and I want to implement some ground rules, but that’s not fair either because she’s used to getting what she wants and now she’s confused because I’ve pulled a blanket over her...”

 

She looked up at him, her brows still furrowed. She stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face in his shoulder.

"What would I do without you?"

 

She was quiet for a moment, relishing his proximity.

"I'm sorry I got so frustrated with you. It wasn't your fault."
