Summary
Laudna is standing. It’s been nearly six hours and Laudna has been standing ramrod straight the entire time. Imogen glances around to see the rest of their group all either sitting on some bits of ruins strewn about, or laying sprawled out half on the ground and half across Dorian’s lap in Fearne’s case. But not Laudna. Imogen is barely able to focus on the projected visuals of, apparently, the gods infiltrating Aeor. It’s hard to look away from the uncomfortable way Laudna’s jaw clenches, how her hands flex and squeeze in front of her stomach, how the gleaming cage around her legs barely yields as she shifts from one foot to the next. Imogen frowns when Laudna shifts again, a sharp flicker going across the her face as one of her hands flits down to her hip, where the metal cage seems to bite into her skin.

Summary
“Chetney! To what do I owe the pleasure?” Laudna tucks her phone into the crook of her shoulder, digging through a nearby box to find her crystallized honey. She grins at the huff on the other line, doling out a large spoonful of honey into her mug before dropping the honey back into the box it came from.
“Heard you might be in the market for a job.” Chetney’s voice is the same as it’s always been, gruff and to the point. Laudna laughs, tapping her spoon along the rim of her mug. “Turns out, I’m in the market for someone of your peculiar talents.”
“I do happen to be in the market for some work.” Laudna sits at her table, crossing her ankles over one another as she sips at her tea. There’s a stack of mail in the center of the table, and Laudna dutifully ignores it. As usual. “What did you have in mind?”
“Your usual thing, you know. Costume, makeup, the regular shtick. Figured I’d give you a call first.”
“First choice, huh? Must be truly gruesome, then, if I’m top of the list.”
or; laudna is a makeup artist and imogen trains movie horses

Summary
“How was your night? I don’t think I’ve asked.” The question throws Imogen off, and it isn’t helping that Laudna isn’t looking at her. Laudna hasn’t ever asked about the nights when Imogen would sneak off, especially the ones when she would slip away with a faceless stranger. She used to want it, wanted Laudna to press and prod. to give her an opening to admit the feelings she’s kept locked away.
“It was fine. Helped relieve some stress.” Imogen pretends to not hear her voice, ignores how high and strained it sounds.Laudna hums, and Imogen watches her pick at her cuticles, watches the ichor bead at the raw skin there like a smear of ink.
“They seemed your type. Nice shoulders, rather tall.” Laudna says it with a grin that looks more like a grimace. Her voice sounds just as strained. Silence stretches taut between them afterwards, and Imogen tries to think of something to say, a way to turn the conversation back to Laudna.

Summary
Laudna is a woman of very many descriptions. She makes herself a cup of tea every morning, avoids watching the news like it’s an olympic sport, and she also happens to be very particular about her clocks. First it started with her wristwatch, a fun thing with a built-in calculator and tinny chiptune alarms. Laudna spends what feels like hours programming in the only alarm she needs, a timer that chirps out the first few notes of a classical song. Every four hours, thirty-six minutes, and twelve seconds the little watch would play the first five notes of the Dies Irae.
or; Laudna died, but she got better guys

Summary
She didn’t know how long she stared before Imogen looked at her curiously, a hint of concern creeping in at the edges. “Are you okay, baby? You’ve been quiet all night.”
“Yes. Yes, I’m alright.” She said, taking a few steps closer to the bed. It was true, but it felt too simple. Almost petty. But she didn’t know how to explain the thick, saccharine feeling. Had no way to tell her how profoundly alright she was.

Summary
It would be a monumentally stupid thing to do. It would probably be the worst decision she’d ever made in a life full of poor decisions. You couldn’t have sex with someone you were in love with just to take the edge off. It would be selfish and ruinous and cruel. It wouldn’t be fair to Laudna.
“Imogen?” Laudna whispered into the space between them. “Are you thinking about it?

Summary
Getting ready for her and Imogen’s 18th date took a distressingly short amount of time. Now, that might seem like a lot of dates, but they had been spaced out over a period of months, which was most likely normal! And well, they actually hadn’t explicitly called this one, or the last several ones for that matter, dates. Which was fine as well, of course!
