“You could have had me forever if you had wanted me,”
— Iris Murdoch, from “Under The Net,” published c. September 1954
Scared Princess Elodie in the vampire kingdom cells, in Captured Princess?
I can see KoD Astor reacting this way when like, Elodie agrees to stay for extra time or something? :c All happy and hopeful.
Just love the idea of Astor feeling feels (albeit less obvious than this) when Elodie smiles at him or laughs with him or is just sweet to him?
Queen Elodie in GoT like…whenever anyone speaks ill of Astor in her presence? She like…goes from this sweet thing to giving them this LOOK?
Astor all smirky? Like when Queen Marigold tells Lady Elodie to take care of her son? And Astor just like >w> Because he knows exactly what kind of care he wants from her.
