there was some part of florian that, while staring idly in the direction of where philip lay sleeping, wanders if there was some kind of curse on his family that would have him seeing all of them bedridden and unresponsive at one time or another. in the other room, there is his little brother in a magical coma. before that had been his father, succumbing to sickness even while ordering his sons away. and then, the distant but still crystal clear memories of his mother’s decline. he’s sat at enough bedsides with guilt twisting his insides for a lifetime. aurora, for all her obvious stress, is ray of light piercing his somber mood when she sits beside him. things were not over yet. and he was reluctant to hope, but for her he would. for his brother he would. “aurora,” he says gently, pressing a warm cup of tea into her hands. he pauses, letting her have a moment after getting all the words out. “i know. something has to be done. it doesn’t have to be just you,” he continues. it feels… strange, being on this side of things. there is something all too familiar about how she’s talking - me, i have to do something - and it doesn’t quite sit right. “i don’t know anything about magic, but finding people who do seems appropriate. maybe we start there?”

seeing his brother so still and lifeless … kit would never be used to the feeling. he could barely walk further into the room, having hovered near the doorway for so long, worrying that he would further disturb his little brother. “ hello, pip, ” he said softly, unable to look at him for very long. he could already hear florian and aurora further away, settling into a conversation. perhaps it was best to let them be with each other a while before he came in and changed the mood, as he often felt he did whenever he entered a room.

later, as he finally came downstairs, he paused a few steps from the doorway, taking a deep breathe in and out. he had to be put together, he had to be calm. overhearing their talk about taking action and magic, he had the courage to step in.

“ i — hello, ” he cleared his throat lightly. he offered a small smile to both his brother and his sister-in-law. “ i … overheard you discussing magic. i’ve set up a meeting with the mayor tomorrow. hopefully he’ll be able to assist us or at least point us in the right direction. florian, rora, if either of you would like to come, you’re most welcome. ” kit opened and closed his hands, swaying a little on his feet before noticing dishes in the sink. “ rora, would you mind if i … ? ” he gestured to the sink. 

           ❛ PERHAPS NOT JUST ME ,  but  i  am  his  wife .  i  can't  just  stay  here  and  wait  while  either  you  or  kit  or  someone  else  figures  this  out ,  i  don't  want  to . ❜   and  it's  possible  that  it's  because  of  the  guilt  she  feels  for  not  coming  home  early  that  fateful  day .  even  if  it  wasn't  her  fault ,  there  was  a  part  of  aurora  who  felt  she  should  have  seen  this  coming .  she'd  allowed  herself  to  let  her  guard  down ,  even  more  so  with  everything  going  so  well  between  her  and  philip .  just  as  she  was  about  to  voice  her  opinion  on  the  middle  charmont's  suggestion ,  the  eldest  son's  voice  stole  her  attention .  he  seemed  to  handle  the  sight  of  philip's  current  state  much  better  than  her ,  maybe  even  better  than  florian .  yet  deep  down ,  aurora  felt  as  though  kit  was  simply  trying  not  to  give  them  another  reason  to  worry  by  pretending  to  be  okay .  it  was  very  kind  of  him .

       lips  press  together  in  a  small  smile ,  fading  as  her  attention  focus  solemnly  on  kit's  words .  ❛  a  meeting  with  the  mayor ...  that's  good ,  isn't  it ?  i've  heard  he's  well  versed  in  magic  himself ,  so ,  that's  a  start !  ❜  she  exclaims ,  unable  to  conceal  the  smidge  of  hope  in  her  voice  and  glancing  at  florian .  he  did  suggest  they  looked  for  someone  who  knows  magic ,  hopefully  the  two  brothers  would  be  in  accordance .  taking  a  sip  from  her  tea ,  the  princess  raised  her  brows  as  kit  motioned  towards  the  sink ,  ❛ of  course !  please ,  make  yourself  at  home ...  i  do  apologize  for  not  having  much  to  offer  to  you  both , ❜  she  spoke ,  glancing  between  the  two  of  them .  ❛  i've  had  a  couple  of  friends  help  me  with  cooking  &  cleaning  but ,  to  be  honest ,  i  haven't  had  much  energy  to  do  anything  other  than  look  after  him  and  take  samson  on  the  occasional  walk . ❜  pursing  her  lips ,  she  takes  a  moment  before  speaking  again .  ❛ did-- ...  does  your  father  know ? ❜ / @prettyboyflorian​
