he honestly had to ask himself how exactly he got into this marriage. it was arranged, yes; and as children the two shapeshifters weren't the best of friends. in fact they were rivals. sigilis often teased and abused poor winifred whenever he got a chance - but i guess in the end it only meant he liked her? he sighed, laying beneath the comforting sheets of his bed as dawn broke. beside him lay winifred of course, the only woman whom would be in his bed to begin with. he wasn't like orion and couldn't think of cheating on her and risking the destruction of his family. i guess over time, their rivalry shifted into love for each other, and though they still remembered the pranks they pulled on one another as children it was more of a humorous memory to them. bah, how they grew so quickly!
he really didn't want to get out of bed either, it was just so comfortable laying here next to her sleeping frame. stray locks fell above her brow, and she simply looked so serene in her sleep. with his eyes fixated on her face, sigilis leaned forward lightly to press a soft kiss against the side of her face. from there he fell back into the bed and pillow, completely intent on laying there in silence until she woke up herself. he'd rather not face the wrath of a sleep deprived woman.

Dawn settled all around. In any direction as far as the eye could see, the horizon was a lit quickly to the bright light of the sun; the slightest border of indigo night could be seen, barely there as the sun rose. Not that Winnie had noticed the shift of daylight as she continued her slumber into dream land. Mmmmff, the bed is just too comfy. While nature left the sleeping woman be, it was physical contact that had summoned her from her sleep. With a long, deep sigh, Winifred began to stir underneath the sheets. She liked this place, this place of sweet and untroubled slumber. It was warm and safe; there was just enough light… and yet she had to wake up from the dream.
The light was brighter than she’d anticipated. Winifred squinted against it and pushed herself with one hand up off the down pillows that her head rested on. It took her unique eyes several blinks to adjust to the morning sun that poured into the room, splayed in odd criss-crossed lines across the sheets that covered her and… her eyes moved from her own body and fell on her husband. “Good morning sweetie,” she yawned. Once upon a time it would’ve been odd for her to pander to Sigilis. Yet times changed and she was now married to the former jerkface. “Good thing I got enough sleep last night, or else I’d be very angry at you for waking me up this early.” Oh lol, good thing she wasn't on menopause... or else she would've raged anyway.

"wh-what? i didn't mean to wake you.. it was only a kiss." he would say with a rather distraught look on his face. really, he couldn't win at all with her! but rather than pout and complain as he would if he was a teenager still, he sucked it up and shifted on his elbows - back against the bed frame above them. his legs crossed over one another beneath the sheets and his mood changed from pessimistic to optimistic quickly. "did you know that i think you're really quite stunning when you awake? you always take three or four blinks to wake up before nuzzling against the pillow generally - and its just so adorable." he would smother her with mush as his right hand lifted up and lightly twirled a lock of her hair. hey, its not his fault he was better in the sack than mister old guy who was creepin' on her. that and the herriott family was not having that sort of forbidden lust between a thirty something man and their seventeen year old daughter. who else to marry her to than the heir to the l'estrange family?

It was an endless wonder how Winnie had managed to marry and live with her former bully. Even at her late thirties of age, she still remembers his taunts and japes about her and the ‘daddy’ figure she was in lust with during her teenage years. For all the humility and sympathy most people had in this world, Sigilis was at the very bottom of the stack of humanity. She had once thought he was unable to possess a solid moral compass and incapable to care what others are feeling, yet now he was totally different. Yet somehow she got him whipped, which was a real conundrum to this day. The smile on Winnie’s face was sweet and loving when she heard her husband’s sudden compliments, and she grazed the pad of her thumb over his cheek, then down the line of his jaw. “Oh shush you. Are you trying to evade my morning grumpiness with sugary affection?” she said with that sly smile never leaving her lips while she batted her eyes at him playfully. “Well it’s working, I no longer feel sleep deprived,” she added before planting a smooch on his cheek.
