Animals (PoisonousIvee/Mr.Aznable)

[PoisonousIvee]

"Oh," she purred, "such a tone, lieben~" She moved into the room and for some reason, she seemed more desirable than normal. It was about time. He was sure of it now.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He made a low noise, his breathing a bit heavy. “Apologies, lieben..”

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"No need~" She said, moving closer and petting under his chin.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He made a low noise as he looked up at her. “You’re sure?”

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She nodded, continuing to pet him, "Of course...~"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He made a low noise, his head starting to spin under her light affections.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I hear that the local wolves are growing bolder~" She purred, "As if bolstered by one of greater skill~ you wouldn't know anything about that, would you, lieben~?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He shook his head. It was the truth, he hadn’t heard anything yet.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She hummed playfully, "I have to set wolfsbane, the sheep have started to go missing~"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He looked up. “What?” He asked.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She nodded, "The wolves grow bolder.." She repeated.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“Oh no..” he said. “I knew it was close..”

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She kissed his forehead gently, "I'll keep it far from the house, rest assured."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“I trust you, lieben.. thank you..” he said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She nodded and moved away, "I won't be gone long.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He nodded. “Thank you again, lieben..”

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She smiled and gave a nod, "Of course. Anything for you."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He sighed softly and wiped his face. He didn’t know it was so soon.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

Aileen ventured into the woods, despite the men's greater protests, and went about plucking wolfsbane to start bunching and hanging around town, humming softly to herself. Poor Ludwig, she thought, she could only imagine the torrent of emotions he was dealing with.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He felt like he was losing his mind. He knew she would take care of it, but still, this curse could cost them another home.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

When she came back, she tied the bundles around the sheep pen and the chicken coops and anywhere else the men showed concern, ignoring the wary glances they gave her.
"There," she smiled, "all set."
"Thanks, Aileen..." They said, though they didn't seem thrilled. She smiled regardless.
"Happy to be of service."
"Got any other services?" One asked, eyeing her up and down. Her smile didn't falter.
"My husband will behead you without blinking an eye, please be aware of that." She said.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He was fighting cold sweats, the scent of the wolfsbane carrying far in the dry breeze.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She headed back home, leaving them stunned, and stepped through the door, "Lieben?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He was huffing and groaning softly. “D..Damn.. flowers.”

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She frowned and moved over to him, "Forgive me, lieben...it's just until the wolves calm down..." She reached to hold his face, petting his cheekbones with her thumbs.
