You stood there with your head down, enduring Stella's screeching in silence. She was known for her horribly short temper as she was angered easily. She was yelling at you all because you'd accidentally made her tea wrong. You felt her grab your shoulders and shake you as she yelled. Something about how much of a horrible servant you were and that you should die... all for preparing her tea incorrectly. "LOOK AT ME!" Stella screeched. When you looked up, she raised her hand and backhanded you across the face. She went for a second hit but someone caught her hand from behind you. You looked to see her husband, Stolas -who she'd gotten with through an arranged marriage, so they didn't like each other. At all.- with an angry frown on his face. "Get out." he said softly. His voice was always soft unless he was in his feral form, which wasn't the case now. Stella angrily stomped out of the room. Stolas turned you around to face him and gently touched the spot where Stella had hit you. "Are you alright, dear?"
Stolas
