pinch-hit: outside pov

[tigriswolf]

Today's theme is outside pov because the reader knowing something the narrator doesn't is always fun. Whether it be an original character's pov, or a secondary character, or however else you choose to interpret, give us your outside pov prompts, yeah?


Y'all know the rules:


*No more than five prompts in a row.
*No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
*No spoilers in prompts.

If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space.

Have fun!

“Your father doesn’t know what true beauty is,” the old man said as his aged hands swept across the parchment with graceful, sure strokes. “Dressing you like this. Sketching you like this.” He blew out a breath and smiled at the expressionless girl. “A portrait for a man you do not know? This is not what finds you a husband.” He paused. “Or is it that you already know what finds you a good husband? Perhaps he knows what makes a good wife, too, eh?”

The perfectly poised female sitting in the chair squirmed a little, blushed, and did not meet his eyes. Instead she gazed out the window behind him and tried to regain her composure.

“Ah! Now you remind me of her - a young peasant woman I met once, a woman who was not breathtaking by any means, only handsome. She worked her family’s fields. She read books. She did everything a woman shouldn’t, such as speak her mind and have her own thoughts. She dreamed. She fell in love, too. I prepared the costume for her so she could attend a ball and meet her love in secret.” He noticed the change in breathing in the woman before him and nodded knowingly.

“No gown, no shoes, no perfume, or powder could have aided her the moment she saw him, for the beauty that was within her, the love she felt for him,” he sighed again and tapped his charcoal-smeared finger knowingly against the side of his nose, “outshone all the trappings I had dressed her in. And him? Well, his love was just as evident. Even though his parents were surprised by her lower station, they recognized love and were defeated. Those two were married and are married still. They make a good king and queen, don’t you think?”

A small smile delicately curved the young cheek, and the eyes sparkled with wondrous life. Quickly he captured it in the image he was sketching, transforming the two-dimensional art into a living thing of beauty, grace, and emotion.

When the father came in later, he frowned at the picture of his little girl and beckoned the artist over.

“This is not what I asked for,” he said. “This is not my little girl.”

“No, this is the woman your little girl has become. Someone loves her and she loves him in return.”

“But she has never met the man I have chosen for her.”

The artist chuckled and nodded toward the empty chair. “And she probably never will.”

Thanks! For some reason, I've always imagined Leonardo was somewhat of a romantic. The movie did nothing to dispell that.
