rose's Links
rose only ever really knew the performance of who liege is. he’s the vampire that took out his eye. a younger and more naive rose went out of his way to try and take him down, the young and potentially vulnerable heir of a terrible and evil vampire clan, and he paid quite the price for his misjudgment of his own ability.
liege was terrified at suddenly being cornered by a werewolf in the middle of the forest, and lashed out in self defense. he has no idea what a mark that left in rose’s mind, but genuinely does regret how quickly he was able to resort to violence to defend himself when he tried so hard to not be like his family. the visceral feeling of hurting someone whose thoughts screamed that he was a monster? it kind of fucked him up and put him on the path to pacifism. it’s also what convinced him to step down as the head of his family and run far, far away.
