The House Still Breathes

Previously

Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)

* Sits at the edge of the velvet -draped bed, unmoving*

Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)

"... Four sons. One indifferent husband. No idea how to start."

Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)

Thought' Atlas. Age seven. The serious one. Triplets: Alaric, Alastor, Alistair. Age five. Trouble times three. And Caesar....'

Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)

"... He doesn't look at me with anger. Just nothing."

( Downstairs - distant shouting)

Alaric Valehart/popcorn (1th triplets)

" WHO TOUCHED MY CEREAL?! 😠."

Alastor Valehart/pumpkin (2nd triplets)

" It's cereal, not gold."

Alistair Valehart/pudding (3rd triplets)

"It's My milk now. I poured it."

Atlas Valehart/ poppy

Atlas Valehart/ poppy

" you all need supervision. Again."

maid

*light knock at the door*

maid

" sir, shall I bring the breakfast to your room?"

Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)

"... No. Thank you. I'll stay in today."

maid

*pauses*

maid

"Very well. I will inform the kitchen ."

Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)

*sighs, staring at the sunlight streaking across the carpet*

Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)

' she didn't ask twice. Didn't question it. She must be used to being dismissed.'

Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)

"... I don't even know how zane treated her. Probably not well."

(Front door open - soft click of Caesar 's shoes)

maid

" sir, welcome back."

Caesar Valehart (E)

*flat* "... Is he still upstairs?"

maid

"Yes, sir. He said he will not be going out today."

Caesar Valehart (E)

"understood."

Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)

*listening from behind the door, holding his breath *

Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)

Thought ' That voice. Calm. Careful. Cold. He's not even curious. Just... tired. As if zane burned every bridge long ago.'

maid

*hesitant* "sir.... He's been quite today. Polite. Reserved."

Caesar Valehart (E)

*with practiced indifference* " He always is when he wants to change something."

Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)

Thought ' He doesn't believe in second chances. He doesn't expect anything from me anymore. And honestly... That hurts more than of he yelled.'

maid

* soft knock* "sir?"

Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)

" I'll rest today. No appointments."

maid

" understood. I'll see that you're not disturbed."

Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)

*Lays back on the bed, staring at the high ceiling*

Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)

"... This house doesn't need me to function. But maybe... I want to earn a place in it."
