He hurried in doing so, keeping the balcony door cracked for Fletcher and explaining in a whisper to Fia that it sometimes would get stuck in the Summer.

"Them, hm?" She repeated. "Well, your helping around is fine by me. Just don't let your father find out. You know how he gets..." There may have been a 'that bastard' muttered under her breath. Either way, Winston smiled, thanked her, and told her he would return to his room.
September 29, 2025 at 10:11 PM
Winnie's shoulders raised slightly. "It was just a misunderstanding." He insisted, immediately defending Fia even if Fletcher didn't know about him. "I just... Being apart from... Them."

She eyed Winston then, slowly turning back to her work.
September 29, 2025 at 10:11 PM
Mrs.Fletcher paused in her work when Winnie had asked that and looked back at him. She frowned, saddened by a thought.

"... Oh love. Someone's gone and broken your heart, haven't they? I knew something like this would happen."
September 29, 2025 at 10:11 PM
He raised one hand to his pocket to feel Fia there and offer firmer support for him.

"Would it be alright if I helped around the house more? It would help me keep my mind off of some things..."
September 29, 2025 at 9:58 PM
"Where did you hear that, Mrs.Fletcher?"

"Margie. Before she retired... Well. Let's not talk about that." Mrs.Fletcher said, avoiding the subject. "I'm glad you're outside of your room. Are you feeling any better?"

Winston nodded with mild uncertainty.

"Only a bit..."
September 29, 2025 at 9:58 PM
"Your mother used to be the same way I've heard. Always wondered what changed in her. Now she'd sooner scream her lungs out than even touch one." The woman said as she knelt down to prune the ivy.

"... I've never heard that before." Winston said as he turned to speak to her.
September 29, 2025 at 9:58 PM
Sighs and unzips.
September 29, 2025 at 3:43 PM
Of course, Winnie brought Fia back to his pocket to conceal him.

"Just a small one! Must have come in through the window."
September 29, 2025 at 3:36 PM
So caught up in admiring Fia, he didn't even notice one of the staff, an older woman with dark eyes and skin like the richest earth, come out onto the balcony.

"Have you caught another moth, Winston?" It seemed she was there to trim some ivy that was growing over the railing.
September 29, 2025 at 3:36 PM
"... You're so cute." He whispered, all of his attention on Fia, treating him like every wayward moth thst would get stuck in Fia's flat. "So small and pretty."
September 29, 2025 at 3:36 PM
Further off, humid wind caused trees to sway. It had the scent of an oncoming storm.

"Do you think that's weird? You can nod or shake your head."
September 29, 2025 at 10:33 AM
Winnie glanced down at Fia then, and lifted his hand to let him climb onto it since theh were in open air alone.

"... I've had fantasies about this balcony you know." He whispered. "About us messing around up here. I think I like the risk of it."
September 29, 2025 at 10:33 AM
After finishing the song with only minor mistakes, he got up to head to the balcony so they could look out into the garden.

What was once a manicured garden was a bit overgrown.

"My parents are in the middle of finding a different gardener, but I kind of like it better like this."
September 29, 2025 at 9:50 AM
As though they were on the same wavelength, Winston began playing. Without the freedom to practice when he wanted, he wasn't extraordinary at it, but he seemed to enjoy the feel and sound.

"I used to want to get my own keyboard or something, but now I'm not as interested in playing."
September 29, 2025 at 9:50 AM
The window seemed to double as a door that opened into a balcony and was a backdrop to a few instruments that were set up.

Winston beelined to the piano.

"This is my eldest brother's." He whispered. "He never plays it anymore but hates when I try to. So I can only play with it while he's away."
September 28, 2025 at 11:18 PM
The hallway was as cool as his room, the whole house air conditioned to be far more tolerable than the weather outside. All of the doors were closed save for one that the staff was cleaning. He passed by with a quiet Hello before continuing along wooden floors to a room with a wide window.
September 28, 2025 at 11:18 PM
He knelt and carefully held out his hand for Fiadh to get on and once he could, he brought him close to look at him.

"You're so pretty like this... I want to make you a whole house in this size."

Fia was carefully placed in his pocket and once secured, Winston stepped out of his room.
September 28, 2025 at 11:18 PM
"... So you're a bug faerie." A slight smile pulled at his mouth. "Maybe it's like fate... Alright. We'll explore the house for thirty minutes. I don't want the staff thinking I'm fully better now. Does that sound good?"
September 28, 2025 at 10:57 PM
"... He becomes small like you do? -and your mum too?" He unbuttoned his breast pocket and made sure there wasn't any lint inside as he spoke to Fia.
September 28, 2025 at 10:50 PM
"... Wait- is that why you didn't speak to me? Why can't you talk?" Winnie's brows creased with both confusion and curiosity.

"Is your voice just too quiet?"
September 28, 2025 at 10:45 PM
Winston smiled then, getting up to change into something more fitting for a waistcoat. Once he was dressed, he tousled his hair a bit, not bothering to properly style it since his family wasn't home.

"Will I ever get to visit your house?"
September 28, 2025 at 10:36 PM
"... You'll probably be disappointed." Winston admitted. "But I can wear a waistcoat and you can hide in my breast pocket if you'd like."
