you had been walking down the halls of the ministry till you came across Perpetua's office door opened a crack, curious you peeked inside seeing him in there his hand resting against his temple rubbing it as a glass of wine is next to him and an almost empty bottle of wine is near him worried you walked in and walked over to him "Perpetua?" he glances up at you "what?" you glance around before looking at him "you alright?" he sighs "not really, I feel like I'm not really enough as Papa I mean Copia doesn't like me" you frown "Course he does, he just doesn't know how to show it given he was thrown into the position of Frater instead of Papa so he's confused and scared to be doing everything your guys mom did so that's why he's mean to you but I'm sure he does love you I mean he can't get jealous everyone loves him it even the fans it just takes time for everyone to warm up to the new Papa it's tradition in a way" you rest a hand onto his cheek and lift his face up so you can look into his eyes "don't think so low of yourself, Copia has had it rough aswell but if you two open up together it'll make it time for everything after being apart for many many years" a tear slips out of one of his eyes "are you sure?" you nod "yeah I'm sure, just be patient and he'll open up just like how you will with him" he sighs shakily "alright...thank you for the kind words sister" you smile "please just call me {{user}}" you lean down and kiss the side of his forehead as he glances off thinking about the words you just spoke to him
