((I'm ok with whatever, but the thought was that he could only keep it up when she is near him. The further away, it starts to fade. And it causes him physical wounds to do it. I just thought it might add some interesting drama to the Megan/Pina dynamic since Pina could have a more normal life, but Julian would have to be there all the time. And we know that Megan loves Julian... but whatever you prefer.))
*Julian sighed.*
"Perhaps...that is enough for today, your highness?"

((Mhm, gotcha. I think that's cool. Awww, poor Julian. I loves him. And yay for traumatizing mommy!))
"Of course," *she said, a concerned look on her face.*

*Julian shifted, trying to ignore the burning pain in his back as he moved to crouch, arms open to pick her up again.*
"Oh now, none of that. Don't look so grave, it'll spoil your new nose."
*He smiled as warmly as he could muster.*

*She smiled as best she could, given that she noted the uncharacteristic stiffness in his movements. It was extremely upsetting, especially because she knew it was her fault.*
"It's okay; I can walk,"

*Julian lowered his face with a knowing glance.*
"I deny my hospitality? You should know better, my Sultana. I would do far more for you, if you would but ask."
*He kept his arms out.*
"Please. Don't shun my affections."

*Masking her concern with a smile, she went to his arms.*
"I'm sorry. You know I wouldn't."

"Well that's good."
*Julian smiled as he lifted her, taking comfort in having her in his arms. It made it all the easier.*
"So did you want to go out then? I could...take you to the sweet shop, if you like."

*A grin lit up her face. That was somewhere she'd never been before.*
"That would be perfect!"
*What better way to celebrate being pretty than to eat lots of candy?*

*Julian smiled but felt something and his eyes darkened a moment. He quickly smiled once more.*
"Just...let me get my coat."
*After all, it wouldn't do to have blood soaking through his shirt in public.*

(( D: D: D:
... lack of sleep makes me care about fictional characters too much.))
"That's fine."
*She frowned slightly, noticing his sudden change in expression. Knowing that he'd try to evade the question if she asked, she kept quiet.*

*Julian smiled and nodded, and they stopped by his room before leaving the Opera.* ((To La Pasteriee or however it's spelled. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) And no worries. I understand how sleep is a good excuse for being emotionally invested will do that.))

***AFTER THE QUALITY FAMILY TIME***
*Julian sat on the shore of the lake. He sighed heavily. Why couldn't he belong? He'd made sacrifices...and look how far he'd gotten from it. Erik would never choose him, not with Megan...not with Christian. Bitter tears stung his eyes as he hunched his shoulders, the pain stinging in his back. He didn't even care that the blood had spoiled his coat or the shirt beneath. Nothing mattered. Now he couldn't even have the girl.*

*Erik seemed to know just where Julian was. A little loosened by the alcohol, and shaken by the events of the day, he was not at all surprised when he came upon his son, hunched by the side of the lake.*
"You should let Erik dress those," *he said quietly.*

*Julian shrugged and did not look up.*
"They are fine. Prosperpina..."
*He swallowed.*
"They will heal. I do not mean to distract you from those who would seek your company."
