“You’ve got a fever. Of course I’m not going anywhere.” replied softly Antoine while putting a fresh compress on the other forehead before sitting in a chair as a vigil. Fortunately it wasn’t something serious and was only a cold and the fever should be left as it was one of the defense mechanisms of the body itself.

better to watch over him, though the vampire while crossing his arms against his chest and looked at Faust again who seemed to look at him too.

[soft]

Faust had been in town when he encountered Antoine again. He'd barely been able to talk when he started to feel tired and wanted to retire for the evening, letting Antoine know he was welcome to follow to his current room at an inn. Motel? Hotel? Whatever such things were called now.

Now he was laying down, wearing just his shirt, shawl, pants, and gloves, with the man sitting beside him. He felt so cold...

A fever? He looked to Antoine. "You intend to stay?" Faust smiled and looked toward the ceiling. "If that's your fancy. I'll be fine either way, mister Benoîtes."

He folded his hands over his stomach, closing his eyes. "I shant be sick long."

DAZE :  for one muse to wake somewhere and find the other hovering over them. | for antoine from domi?

"Dominique."

The moment her eyes open, Antoine has put on a cool, collected, and innocent smile. Not that he'd been doing anything particularly terrible to begin with---contrary to popular belief, Antoine does not believe himself to be sat atop a high pillar from which he heartlessly holds all of the strings.

Besides, even if he did hold all the strings, Dominique would be a little more like set dressing. The fact that he cares for her to some capacity doesn't change that she'd be absolutely worthless to keep in his deck of cards, in his current situation.

In any case, since she's useless, he's not there for any particularly nefarious reason.

"I see you're getting up incredibly late. I wonder if this is a habit of yours." He laughts, covering his mouth slightly with one hand. "Never mind; I'm here to invite you to join me for breakfast. It's been so long since I was last able to eat with you."

i'm usually good at reading people. not you. (for antoine!)

there's something special about you sentences (always accepting) / @talentforlying

the fallen is in the process of cleaning. constantine dragged anane back in twenty minutes ago, no longer bleeding but faint and fatigued and antoine was fast to take them over and bring them to bed. he asked john to come in, too, shaken as he looked, visibly haunted by the prospect of losing another friend. as much as john tried to play it off cool, antoine insisted and something about him resonated emmanuel's persuasive determination. there was no telling him no when he noticed a nasty wound barely hidden underneath a scarf wrapped inconspicuously around the magus's forearm.

he put anane to bed first, looking over their wounds and contented with the way john dealt with them and closed the door ever so quietly to instead join john in the living room where he'd left him with a bottle of gin and two glasses in hopes of holding him there long enough to see him again. he wanted to be sure the other wasn't too roughed up after today, not just physically but spiritually as well.

"can i check your arm?" he asks nonchalantly, pouring himself a glass, just a sip really -- he doesn't like drinking too much but he likes being social about it. "i've seen it all, you know." antoine speaks of matters of blood and demons with ease. he doesn't have that fiery flame in his eye the same way anane does, nor does he show pity for those that oppose his sibling the way emmanuel would. he speaks calmly and with little to no emotion except for a melody of good humour developed during years of serving people coffee and that slight tinge of concern that is all so genuine underneath it all. he just doesn't let it show too much.

his touch is gentle, accustomed to the act of caring, and grounded enough to know what he is doing. he brings over his first aid kid to clean the wound and cover it up. he works, quiet and focused, hair falling in his eye. it's the most human of moments that make him look the most angelic. misplaced. that's around the time john breaks the silence with his remark, not as sharp or witty as usual and antoine looks up to meet his eye while his hands go on wrapping the bandage around his forearm through muscle memory alone.

"really?" lips curl in something of a surprise as he raises his eyebrow. "methinks you are used to seeing things difficult. and i'm a simple guy."

“What do you dream about?”  (dageurreopher) (antoine perhaps)

Antoine was in the living room with a tea he barely touched and watching the fireplace with a tired and hollow expression, ghostly eyes following without purpose the dance of flames and his mind trying to not focus the pain. The pain of sleeping and being trapped. He put a hand on his chest slowly stroking it like if he could feel an injury. Je could still feel it.

but someone decide of joining who seemed to be as tired as him and still in his regal costume. Nobleman have that habit of waking up earlier but maybe not this early. Some pity goes out for him, maybe he have an infernal night too and try to ease his mind as much as him.

they sit in silence before a discussion rise something about the subconscious of men, progress and…dreams.

and for a moment it distracted him, from the pain and the memory and his body less tense up-

until that damned question.

the memory were back as he claws appeared under his glove scratching the chair as his face grow pale and his breathing stopped. Now he could watch everything and hear everything, his paralyses limb, the eyes who watched him, hearing his own screams and pleas…seeing that smile.

« nothing that concern you, Monsieur. » he spat with animosity before standing up still livid with anger but also dreadr.

how cruel, how cruel was it to asked this question ?

his dreams was a mockery of hell, pure pain.

now before the men could say anything Antoine storm off the room until he was alone somewhere.

Then he proceeded to take his face on his hands, why they were shaking so much ?! his breathing was more fast and swallow and his body shivering as he encountered the fact again.

never he could escape his hell. He was still following him.

" you are incorrigible. " | domi to antoine?

"Dominique! I'm a little hurt by that. I thought it was rather ordinary to dote on one's younger siblings like this." Though, of course, we aren't full siblings. I wonder if those rules should still apply?

Antoine's general tendency towards the shady and suspicious would have made those thoughts sound off-kilter if he voiced them aloud, but he hadn't wholly thought that sort of thing in an insulting way. Granted, there was a part of Antoine that considered Dominique a nuisance to be dealt with, but there was another factor entirely.

If Dominique was no longer his problem as a sibling, he'd probably have an easier time later keeping her out of trouble with the senate.

Of course, the notion is dismissed altogether, since Antoine actually prefers the idea of a sibling-like relationship to that of strangers.

"It's my responsibility to make sure you're conducting yourself properly at times like these, is it not?" He smiles amicably, hiding any trace of actual affection behind that hollow expression. "I admire your moments of brash sincerity, but they don't suit our world very well. In correcting them... Haha, I just don't see where you're getting 'incorrigible' from my efforts!"
