"Haha! To me it's a warm embrace, because a web is a house that provides for you without even trying." Even if humans have such a macabre way of thinking about it.

"Cob webs are a cold reminder of death and abandonment to some. You're correct, that is a truly terrifying assumption to make. Well done."

[partum-memoriae]

"Oh!" Quickly covering her own mouth, she gives a nod before starting to whisper quietly instead. "What if Ciel is in the garden? Do you think he can hear us that far?"

Turns around to scold her. "Cece! Don't make too much noise or Ciel will find us! You have to be very, very quiet!"

Uses one of his spider legs to fix the hem of her dress and the other to continue coming his daughter's hair. "Stay still." -- Claude to Claudia

"I'm sorry I got my dress all messed up, papa." Still, she smiles up to her father with her matching gold eyes as she glances up to him. "I had so much fun showing Lord Phantomhive how to enjoy the outdoors that...well...I forgot I was supposed to keep tidy."

"Oh, rubbish! I think Halloween is still just as valid now, and look at all the cobwebs!"

"I lost it centuries ago when it stopped being a pagan holiday."

"Nh!" Cecilia was hiding behind her brother, trying hard to peak over and see what he was looking at. "I wanna see! Mh...I'm so tiny..."

(Child!Astre)

Pokes his head out from the curtains as he was hiding from his siblings.

"I think...I'm going to call in sick for work..." Something about Halloween makes Sora's skin crawl. Is it the cursed energy that erupts on Halloween?

[partum-memoriae]

"Papa! Where's your Halloween spirit?"

[partum-memoriae]

"Yeah, dancers can be hard to not look at here, it's nice to see when I'm out on patrol." Giving almost a bit of a shy smile, he does try not to praise too much. After all, he's not that much of a praiser!

"It's no trouble, things have been slow lately. I've just been doing my rounds of patrol while General Cyno prefers to take care of the bigger cases by himself lately." Maybe a lack of trust in Haider, can't say he blames him really. "It gives me something to do, it gets boring sometimes to just wander around the city and scold the occasional sassy kid for knocking things over."

"Hm? You recognize me" the tall woman lets out, her deep crimson eyes meeting the man's. Who wouldn't recognize her? She was a well-known dancer in Sumeru. It wasn't a shock but she was quiet curious. She's never seen this man at one of her shows before. "You can assume that, yes. I'm taking a small break to buy supplies for tomorrow's show." She spoke as she looks down at her list,

"Apologies for the random conversation."

❝ Good morning. ❞ -lairofmuses{from my Oc Yemina to Haider if that's ok :)}

"Oh, morning. Hm...I recognize you, I think I've seen you dance before on patrols." Just passing by mostly, he hardly found the time before to watch dancers like her and Nilou even though it made him curious.

"I didn't think entertainers worked so early, unless it's a day off for you...?"

[partum-memoriae]

"...So it's the archon's birthday? Time sure does fly." Haider still feels guilty for being so complicit in her imprisonment, even ordered to 'guard' her imprisonment when he was first brought to the Akademia. "I'm surprised she doesn't want to curse or imprison me."

"Oh, I promise! I'll make sure it's a beautiful mask that'll distract everyone from who I am." She's sure that she'll find one with ease. There's been so many beautiful costumes and masks in London this time of year, surely her father would go with her to find one.

"Thank you so much, papa!" Her arms flung around her father's waist to hug him, her chin against his stomach as she looked up at him. "I'll be a true lady tonight, Claudia the demon princess!"

His eyes narrowed down to his only child, the only one he truly cared for in this lifetime. Claude watched as his daughter's demonic heart grew attached to a mortal whose fate was sealed in tragedy. He disapproved of the crush ; he even tried to distance her from seeing him-- but to see her happy even for the night would be acceptable.

"Only if you promise not to remove your mask or reveal your identity. Come, lets find you a grand costume as you'll make an entrance as the hidden belle of the ball."

[partum-memoriae]

"I can instruct you to be a perfect lady, but I also have to teach you how to be worthy demon and one that's able to defend herself amongst not only our kind ; but others that walk the same path as us." He made her grip the sword tighter. "Go on, stab one of them. They'll heal." -- Claude to Claudia

Claudia's hands were shaking as she held the sword in her hand. It wasn't that she was scared to hurt others, the frightening part was that she didn't feel scared to hurt people. Even worse in her mind, was the fear that this sense of empathy and humanity in her heart would slip away the more she embraced being a demon.

"Papa...Do I...really have to? I can hurt another demon fine, I know I've heard humans before to protect Lord Trancy but...I'm scared that I'll stop caring about people! What if...What if I stab you a-and I don't feel sorry? What if it means I don't love anymore?"

[partum-memoriae]

The earl was practicing his waltz for the ball, already having chose to accompany Claudia-- however, her walking into the room to witness such an embarrassing sight while being taught by Sebastian made him turn red. "Wait! It's just--" -- @siriuslord

Claudia had actually stepped into the room solely to practice dancing herself, not so much rusty but daydreaming about nearly reenacting the fairy tale of Cinderella.

Her voice gives a little gasp when she sees the poor Earl stumbling and clearly clumsy about dancing, but it made Claudia's gold eyes widen excitedly. Her hands excitedly grip at the skirt of her maid's dress, as a giggle rings out throughout the room.

"Ciel! I didn't know you were practicing too~!"

[partum-memoriae]

"W-Wait I didn't mean it like-!" Oh, now he feels flustered again. Did he really have to go and open his big mouth and end up accidentally wooing a cute girl without even trying? It makes red appear to visibly on his darker complexion, trying to smooth out his bright red hair in an attempt to hide his blushing.

"I guess so, doesn't mean much here in Sumeru." A land where knowledge was valuable, where the highest scholars earned far more praise than the military and police system, didn't help that Haider didn't properly earn his position but placed there so the Sages would watch him. "That's...a mouthful of a name." Eyes blink, never before hearing such a long string of names together like that. "Can't I just call you...Sophie?"

The girl placed a hand over her mouth as she thought to herself, before politely speaking. "Well, we just met however you're more than welcome to try courting me. Though, I request a small flower as a first gift if you're truly interested." It wasn't that she was oblivious to his remarks, rather she was the type of woman to kindly play into them. "And if it works out, you would go from bodyguard to a protective husband shielding his wife as any good man does with his lady."

"A captain is quite the status, and your name is unlike any I've heard before. You're still a high up militaristic man, you must have lots of stories to share. Hopefully, you and I can talk about them on our journey together!" She wanted to greet him with a handshake, but she was nervous. Instead, she opted for a small wave and a curtsy as a formal greeting. "I'm Lady Sophronia Elena Ariadne Edevane... of London, England! It's ... it's large magnificent city full of wonders! Oh yes!"
