@❛ ? » astrid eilavie。⁰⁵ /pocketing my phone after messaging you for the last time (for now) i've made sure its on mute since i've been getting unwanted calls from my parents
/i can only ignore them for so long before they find another, more persistent and annoying way to get to me - i know that much but i'll wait a little longer before i face that
/for now i'm waiting for the professor currently speaking to me to finish, its nothing important, just them trying to butter me up to gain favour with my family
/as politely as i can i excuse myself and step around them, hearing them mutter something cold about me when they figure i'm just some spoiled nepo baby
/i don't even falter and just keep going, sighing under my breath as i get to the library finally and cast a cloaking spell, getting to the restricted section
astrid
/say as i come up behind you in our usual spot, out of sight and out of mind, my cloaking spell disappearing as i'm looking down at you
apologies if i'm late
/and i mean it, you know i don't like being late or tardy for anything, a personal preference of mine - you're either early or late, there's no in between in this world
/i look you over for a moment before i smile softly, leaning down and wrapping my arms around you, squeezing you gently to my chest with my chin atop your head
you've lost weight over the holiday
have you not been eating enough?
/asks as i can tell just by holding you, my gloved hands sliding over your arms as i'm pulling back to look at you, tipping your chin up with my finger under it
