Title: Ascendant
Summary: Artemis learns to see beyond his nose.
Genre: General
Rating: G
Pairing: None
Warnings: None

Father’s shoes shine black. His trousers are traced with thin grey lines.

Mother’s skirts are long and silky and precious. She smooths them with open palms when I wrap my arms around her.

Juliet wants to play soldiers. Her hair is a halo, lit from above. But I don’t like soldiers.

Butler is a mountain above me, except when he sits on the carpet beside me. I wobble on his thigh to look into his eyes.

Mother yells when I climb on the table.

Juliet has eyes shaped like Butler’s. Mother’s lips are pink. Father hides my eyes above his nose.
