“I must…apologize,” The word hung loosely in the air, it’s meaning half-hearted at best. Even muttering the word pained Orpheus, although he attempted to keep the emotions clear from his expression. “My behavior toward you was less than dignified. A mix of childhood emotions and drunken thoughts. Nothing more. So, forgive me, Lord Keats, I must have forgotten myself.” Orpheus held his breath, fighting back the hot tears and anger that swelled just behind his vacant expression.

love the phrase and i can feel how physically difficult this is for Orpheus i love it

@Madilfill

Ilyas found himself growing increasingly impatient. As Orpheus spoke, Ilyas’s gaze drifted away, his mind seeking refuge within its own corridors. He began to tune out the words, retreating into a realm of private musings. A subtle frown creased Ilyas’s forehead as he considered the upcoming task of finding a suitable match, a chore set by his father, the Duke.

DONT DRIFT AWAY listen to hm but yes do go and find a suitable match. Have babies- like 15 so we can secure the line

@DandelionKate

It was a shared sentiment, the fear of fatherly disapproval. It was something many noblemen carried, yet Orpheus had not considered the charming, arrogant, and obnoxiously composed Ilyas Keats to hold the same fear.

Harrison might be the only male here without extreme daddy issues wow and look aww they are so orphyilyas already hae so much in common

@DandelionKate

Was this his attempt to relate? To bond?

dont really think so but if yes aww

@DandelionKate

“Yes, it seems drunken outbursts are not a favored behavior among Dukes…” Orpheus nearly smiled, a joking lull in his tone despite the painful truth that was held behind it. He pulled down his sleeves as he spoke, and let his eyes gaze over Ilyas, curious and imploring.

wonder why…

@Madilfill

Did he want Orpheus to leave, or did he secretly crave the usual banter and tension that defined their encounters?

aah you crave him being around do you now. They not beating the orphilyas allegations

@Madilfill

Ilyas leaned against a table, smirking. “Civil conversations are overrated, don’t you think? They lack the thrill of unpredictability.”

agreed, this why harrison and ilyas are besties

@Madilfill

“And here I thought the ton could usea sprinkles of banter, courtesy of the infamous Orpheus,” Ilyas added, his tone carrying a hint of flirty undertones as he continued to appreciate the lively dynamic between them.

so boyfriends

@DandelionKate

“Enough!” Orpheus bellowed, turning from Ilyas in exhaustion.

@DandelionKate

“Enough…” Orpheus breathed, softer now, nearly pleading. He could not handle any more of whatever this was. Whatever strange hatred clouded his vision and blocked his mind. Orpheus could not function in this solitude they stood in. He could not think. He could not breathe. He could not restrain himself.

i feel so bad for him actually

@DandelionKate

“You have taken everything…and now you postulate what sits in empty swirls of empty paintings in a room alone with me, for what?” Orpheus eyes were wild, angry, confused.

WHAT DID HE TAKE THO

@DandelionKate

“What do you hope to gain from these endlessly exhausting interactions?” Orpheus’ breathing quickened, his heart exploding in his chest with each word that left his mouth. He felt the weight of the words lifted from his shoulders as he spoke them, a relieving sort of unburdening.

fun

@DandelionKate

“I hate you…” Orpheus muttered again, almost to himself, a reminder.

this was such a good way to end his post
