iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

That’s just it. To be looked at like you were some… pawn. I never really understood that. Though maybe I’m used to a more… affectionate way of going about marriage. [Sigh.] To think that you could have been forced to marry a man you couldn’t quite see yourself being with…

000

… I see. [Perhaps that was something he never even paid attention to. It was always about love, never crests.] That’s not what we have.

000

If it helps any, I can’t say I thought you’d ever do anything like that between us. I truly do love you. This was without any arrangements or the sort. [Though, an outsider would think it was because of their kid.] I’m truly glad I get to have you at my side.

000

[There it is.] Hey, add Shahid to the list, and you won’t hear from me for a week and a half. [He wasn’t joking either. But he knows they can’t do that.]

100

Yeesh. [Glad he actually loves her, because this would’ve looked TERRIBLE.] You know, in your defense, some of those noblemen actually need to be brought down a peg or two. They’d deserve that.

Honey, you’ve REALKY got to raise your standards. What if I were some stuck up noble with no other reason of being with you than having a kid? [Damn. He’s aware of what other nobles do, huh…?]

000

… what? Now, why would I ever do that? [Shahid keeps getting close to being on the receiving end.]

Just know that when it comes to battle, I don’t always tell him what to do. Some of it he does on his own accord.

000

Habibti, I know he’s soft, but he’s certainly no pretty pony. He hardly even bites anyone. [Lol, lmao. Refer to addendum 1, chapter 3, where he mauled that rich jerk on a whim.]

000

[Looking at her. Wait, she was… she’s was SERIOUS?] Dimitri? Softie? Yeah. And Omar is a pretty pony.

000

I’d want nothing more, my love. Though? I’d hate to think of what Dimitri would do if he found out…

000

… well, maybe I want people to know. What then?

000

Hey, hey. Heyyyyyy. Babe. We weren’t SUPPOSED to say that bit out loud. [Yeah, because what he said was better.]

000

[Looking her up and down.] Oh, I don’t know. Humoring me, helping me when I needed it the most… Probably why Dimitri and the rest hate me so much.

000

𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝 @kvonriegan.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

What did I do? What did I do to deserve someone like you? [To this day, he can hardly believe it.]

000

𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝 @kvonriegan.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

It’s actually… perfect. [He’s in shock. Can they blame him?] I wouldn’t wish for this to be with anyone else, either. Just you and I, together forever.

000

Oh, so Ashe can do it, but when I do it with Ingrid, it’s an issue?

000

//My issue is, my Arabic is Moroccan Arabic, which means I can’t COMPLETELY adapt that to my Claude.

000

That’s EXACTLY what I said, Ing, but I just… … Huh. [If he were a puppy, his tail would be wagging.]

000

It’s such a great idea, I’m glad I had it.

000

Perfect. Next feeding with Omar, I’ll bring extras for Achilles. [Surely he’ll like him then.]

000

Maybe I should bring him some food. Don’t know if he’ll eat like Omar does, but I can pull a few strings.

000

[Pulling her in for a kiss without hesitation. Why would he?]

000

If it helps, he hasn’t tried to bite me as of late. That’s good, right?

000

See! So clearly, it’s not MYYYYY fault.

000

[Breaking the fourth wall.] Someone’s been busy, so now /I’ve/ been busy. It’s a whole thing, babe.

000

Achilles said this to me once before. [Source: it came to him in a dream.]

000

Wait wait wait Let me tell you something. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

000

Haha, heyyyyyyy.~ [Totally normal. He wasn’t gone or anything.]

000

… I’m sure I can manage that. I’ve made tighter schedules, and all of them with plenty of time to spend with you and Aliah. An hour is hardly enough, but it’ll be a great start.

000

[Head resting atop of hers, keeping her close.] I did, too. It’s been.. a good while since we’ve last got to relax like this.

000

[It’s not that he doubts them. They are, after all, talking about their own kid. But cuddling with Ingrid for a good while doesn’t sound half bad.]

000

[Ah. He was going to give her a break.] Of course, babe. [Hugging her, dragging her to bed.]

000

You can head to bed. I’ll babysit. You need all the rest you can get, honey.
