Summary
Blights are expected to behave properly.
This is common knowledge. Blights are nobility and are supposed to behave accordingly. As such, you aren't supposed to lose your composure.
This is rule one. You don't stumble over yourself, you don't burst into tears, and you're certainly not supposed to be impulsive or ridiculous.
Amity Blight isn't very good at being a Blight. But she tried very hard for a very long time. She carries herself in the perfect little posture that feels like it'll break her back, is either stone faced or grinning smugly, a perfect golden child. She does not cry. She does not whimper. She expresses affection through very, very specific means. All of them are incredibly professional and fitting of a Blight.
• Offering a gift to a friend. A book, a new piece of jewelry, a pie.
• A compliment, professional and impersonal.
• Reassurance when it's needed.
• A small touch on the shoulder. Nothing beyond what is socially acceptable, of course. Because she is a Blight, even behind closed doors. And Blights do not lose their composure.Series
