[The scene opens to inside Stolas's mansion. A young Octavia's frightened voice can be heard from offscreen.]
Octavia (Young): (offscreen) Mummy! Daddyyyy!
[Stolas is roused from his sleep. He turns to Stella who has most of the blanket.]
Stolas: *sleepily* Mmph. Via's calling us, Stella.
Stella: *sleepily, annoyed* You get up.
[Stolas sighs and gets out of bed. He enters Octavia's room, where she is hiding beneath her blankets.]
Stolas: Via? What troubles you, my owlet?
Octavia (Young): *sobbing* Daddy! Daddy!
[Young Octavia climbs down from her bed and runs into her father's arms. Stolas hoists her up to comfort her.]
Octavia (Young): *sobbing* I had a dream! A really bad dream!
[Stolas yawns and wipes away Octavia's tear, correcting her.]
Stolas: A nightmare.
Octavia (Young): *sobbing* I was looking all over the palace, and... I couldn't find you anywhere! You weren't there!
Stolas: *rubs Octavia on the back comfortingly* There there, Via, it's okay. You're okay.
[Stolas summons his to him telekinetically as he walks Octavia back to bed.]
Stolas: When you're scared, and you don't know where I am, you must remember...
[Stolas's grimoire floats over to him. He telekinetically flips it open.]
Stolas: No matter what happens to me, I will never be far away... from my special little starfire.
[Stolas begins singing to little Octavia.]
[His lullaby finished, Stolas leaves as his young daughter settles to sleep, content. Cut to several years later, where a teenage Octavia is jolted awake by smashing objects and her parents screaming at each other, far less content.]
Stella: (offscreen) I can't believe you slept with an imp , in OUR FUCKING BED!
[Octavia, annoyed at being disturbed, gives a long groan.]
Stolas: (offscreen) It was unexpected! I didn't have time to go to a motel!
Stella: (offscreen) A motel?! Like a fucking PLEBEIAN?!
[Octavia grabs her phone and puts in earbuds, playing "my world is on fire" to tune out the screaming as she strides down the halls of the Goetia estate, stepping over the smashed remains of a plant thrown in her path. In the kitchen, Stella continues screaming at Stolas.]
Stella: You want to fuck this one, TOO?!
[Stella grabs an imp servant and violently tosses him in Stolas' direction.]
Stolas: No! Of course not!
Stella: You are a goddamn embarrassment! I'm not spending another moment looking at your pathetic, IMP-SUCKING FACE!!
[Stella storms out of the room, shouting angrily the entire time, and smashing more potted plants. Stolas sighs in exhausted exasperation before he notices his daughter has entered the kitchen.]
