No one was truly alone in middle of Purgatory's games.
This was the sentence he really wanted to expressing with brightness, offering all the reasssurance associated to that statement he wanted honestly to share. However, how much this was true ? Of course, for a while, inside his own chessboard, there had been only his mind and his thoughts to having an idea of an plan for bouncing back towards the Golden Witch, when he had indirect allies during that time. Another witch had been supporting his position, and eventually, he did managed to have allies along the way … When, with that last thoughts, slow decomposure couldn't help to return. ❝ You aren't alone in this fight, never. ❞ He actually decided to bring around, when thoughtfulness of his expression betrayed his wish to be innocent. ❝ It all depending of the chessboard you are coming from. It's all depending of circumstances within your chessboard. It's all depending of the witch you are facing. ❞ For the moment, he wasn't obligated to awakening pleasant memories and recollections concerning that point … or even how within his case, he had to please the God of the Underground with his chessboard. She needed reassurance, not to be worried over weight of opponent. ❝ Did a witch take a dislike to you ? ❞

"Says the man who watches people and probably plays a weird chess game that makes no sense. Oh and constantly angers Shizuo like he has some death wish now that's ridiculous! For that same pest to run when danger...known as Shuzo appears..that's sooo funny!"
Playfulness wrapped slowly his features. Masaomi-kun perspective was something interesting to heard, especially, concerning past circumstances between them, how he had many reasons to comment over his past actions (though none of that would stop him inside what he had been carefully planned neither how he wanted watching from the first steps consequences). His love for humanity had to coming with an intensive studying of them --- admiring every one of their reactions, viewing their doings in middle of created consequences, and remaining an closer observer that would staying behind meanwhile chaos emerging. Wasn’t it his main quality, to loving so much humanity he wanted discovering their entire potential, compared to how a benevolent underground doctor pretended only interest to such species? Wasn’t he kind enough to embracing humanity with that overwhelming love? Nothing had to be said concerning how he was watching. It was part of his job. It was his favourite hobby. Oh, he also didn’t cared if one unexpected supporter desired to watching him back, understanding the riddle of his person or giving him more possibilities of fun inside own particular manners of appearances games --- he could learn far more about how playing with the threads of people with an witch on his side, unable to been perceived unless an couple of lucky people … ❝ For you, how I play this game sounds ridiculous, nevertheless, it’s understandable for my rules~ ❞ He expressed amusingly concerning the remark of the young teenager concerning his game. It wasn’t a game meant to be understood by other people. It wasn’t meant to be focused over a tiny ridiculous single chessboard, in which established rules were simple. Oh, he expected no one actually achieving to understand each of his moves, even if such unexpected challenger of a witch ached solving him --- in same manner he was studying that strange guest of a kid. Sound of a betraying amusement dared escaped his lips for a couple of seconds, before increasing further inside a condescending mockery when Shizu-chan was mentioned. ❝ Shizu-chan and me have a long story together~ ~ Someone need to remember to Shizu-chan how an error of nature he represents, what better person than myself for showing my affections~ ❞ Positive feelings were intended within that mockery approach regardless if emotions diverged on his sentences. How Shinra managed even to breathe closer to Shizuo was something he couldn’t manage to understand, would never be able to understand, though, accidentally, he was amused by how his best friend was attached by an inhuman being he was so much passionate with … ❝ You might notice how humans being ridiculous is their special charm, it’s so admiring~ ❞

"Tell me, what do you find most amusing? The fear? The desperation? Or perhaps the occasional defiance of those who dare challenge your domain?" At least someone could appreciate them for what they were. Loki's tone was light-hearted yet tinged with something uniquely indistinguishable. "Mortals scrambling, souls bargaining, and all the while, you maintain your icy composure amidst chaos."
His own games were often motivated and petty something he could openly admit. "How can I get an invitation to spectate the Underworld? I find myself curious too. One trickster to... another." Although he wouldn't consider them the same, far from it; only two gods teetering on their own divinity.
Minus various Holy Wars across the centuries, in which right now, it remained an simple hobby in which he was partially bored, he remained an simple shadowing observer who didn't have by habit to interfere. Eventually, with circumstances aid pulled into situation of his protegee, if some reactions were done, his small influence upon events would help them to get out of unpleasant moments. Of course, for too long, he had wished doing more than just that --- influencing the ground from an far away landscape, in which his imposing perspective and power could easily transforming the result he already knew of … Nevertheless, the realm of the Underground rarely left him room for rest, neither how omnipresence of Hypnos and Thanatos remembering him to his responsabilities. It had been only recently, by how circumstances turned for one chessboard, he had imposed an independance over his decisions and his own little pleasure --- How much he managed to lie to himself, to protecting the game of his emotions, to twiting his own feelings, was something only the shadows knew … and well, one kid inclined to play with it ! Natural reaction had to be presented to showing his face in front of other places he had remaining observer, now his presence had been purely acknowledged by an couple of players, now he was weighting falsely all the responsabilities of an game in which he wasn't the villain. Playfulness have been offered within his confession, but the words remained honest. Loki needed to receive that compliment, when him as another deity would support him. Especially since he had to deal with one illusionnist …
❝ Whatever mortal challening themselves a deity should be expected to be scared, though I do enjoy the fearless ones. The ones imposing themselves in front of an god thinking they knew better, realization of their true place is only an even more powerful pleasure, to make them believe until the last moment that they can have the advantage. ❞ It had been his offensive line with the Athena Saints, with Pegasus, a lot with the Emperor of Britannia. Concerning the kid, concerning Deimos --- regardless if he had been emotionally touched by the blow he had offered him by creating his own exit beyond what he had perceived, the kid remained unaware how he was reacting as he should be, which remained his advantage. ❝ I wish I could confess I came to be bored of their despair but --- ❞ He admitted with an broken smile, before further playfulness showing up in his face. ❝ Hopeless souls find solace around my protection. They found the comfort and the reassurance they search for. Though, it's often that gentleness end up push behind by the main concerned. ❞ Following that sentence, there was an smaller laugh. ❝ Main qualities I admire in such souls are their boldness and their perseverance. Reaching the Underground knowing my reputation requires courage, stubbornly wanting to be right is a madness that pleases me. Although this happiness can sometimes be annoying, especially when my challenger doesn't seem to understand a truth exposed several times. This is part of my kindness. The moment of horror must come much later, at a time when they hardly expect to handle. ❞ Playfulness inscreased a little more. ❝ It had been the case for an couple of centuries indeed. I now take advantage of the human emotionality that I possess to be more expressive on the subject. ❞ As if the moment had been missed, he presented a dark face of that one internal pleasure. ❝ I can show condescension towards them in an gentle manner~ ☆ ❞
Eventually, his expression lowered down within that indifferent and seriousness emotions. With his own illusions crumbling all around him, there was that desire to cling over each little fragment no matter he would remain mentally hurt at each reminder … Though, pleasant smile welcoming his features turned deeply honest as he appreciated the compliment. ❝ My toys are the simple expectations of these mortals. I have spent too many millennia being constantly offended by them that I owe them this pleasure, which currently makes your games pleasant towards me, knowing your situation. Playing with these misunderstandings of these mortals is possible way to make them understand their mistake. I wish to confess to you that my games remains confined to the Underground, nevertheless, for a long time, the Underground has been present in this world. Like an endless shadow I can play with. Like a heavy feeling that engulfs the bodies of mortals. My show may look like a web in the sky, or a simple demonstration in the situation, or even by my encounter. I can show you though. I have advantage of being everywhere. ❞

An attentive gaze was watched carefully every move of the exposed demonstration. There was an latent consciousness, concerning how his expression in some manner, didn't truly changed would bring some wondering questions --- in which sadly answers weren't inclined to came. It would be rather complicated to explaining such reasons, when … well … he did experienced it though his own particular manners, though concerning himself, it was hardly physically the change could be exposed. Excepted maybe one thing, one tiny detail concerning one hobby about how he appreciated sometimes altering the narrative or himself when desired projects had to playing a bit with the fabric of reality. Nevertheless, as nothing inside his emotionless face didn't desiring brought an misunderstanding message, lightness within his blue eyes showed clearly interest, brightness, encouraging and supporting gaze. ❝ It's quite an power that you have. ❞ He had been hesitating to use that term. Power. It always meant responsabilities. It always meant heavier shoulders and an consciousness. It always meant there was an desire for more, to touching other spheres, to questioning powerfulness. Faculty could have worked but it must have coming from somewhere, hence he had preferred using the good word. Particular recongizable habits remained anchored within his behavior still --- no need to explain why it sounded perfectly normal for his eyes to perceiving such thing. Naturally, as an smile exposed, there was an desire to protect Regulus with such responsabilities he had, and everything in the sort. He was never complicated on that domain. He was spending his entire life helping people. There was always somewhere something inside his universe to fix, whatever how his greatest responsabilities were already huge, when his best friend would still complaining on his inability to slow down. ❝ I'm not sure you did born with the ability so I'm supposing this must coming from somewhere, and must be enough precious for you. I do understand the concern to find protectors for be certain it will not fall under malicious hands or be altered. ❞

The past few days Francis was plagued by an irritating cough; more so when it flared up at random times, especially in front of guests. Merely a tickling at the back of his throat, so he didn’t really think too deeply that it could’ve been a serious issue.
“I’m alright. Truly. Just a passing col-“, another cough ripped through Francis, and he took out a handkerchief. This time, the coughing lasted longer than the first one, and with every breath pulled from him, a sharp agony filled his chest.
“A doctor. . .”, Francis managed to splutter out to Trancy, doubling over as the pain increased, “Call for a doctor! Q-Quickly!!!”
All these weeks he had passed along his deadly curse never truly had been forgotten. Sometimes, he wished told himself he had been at his lowest, as he had been slowly dying within an complete impossibility as time moved on to do simplest of gesture … and yet aftermatch had been even more harsh emotionally. Even now, returning inside the noblesse society, focusing mostly on friends since he wasn't in state for keep up his 'status' in public space, he had been unable to exposing same brightness as he had before. Or even managing to function normally if his obsession for Phantomhive wasn't fed in one way or another ! Only, Phantomhive had been the one imposing distance for their mutual mental benefits, since he hadn't an obligatory reason to settled down within the Phantomhive manor and main concerned KNEW if he could grab an opportunity to settling down again, he might never again leave Phantomhive side whatever how many business he must have. On his defense, he preferred deal with the Queen's Watchdog than having to assume his underground responsabilities as Spider, especially when it incluced deal with Philip Butler. Phantomhive can't save him of the guy regardless disapproval, and he needed Butler approval anyways.
Hence, as much he was searching pushed away all the time he had been 'sick', he had an complete impossibility to deal correctly with sickness on his side. It was just triggering everything he had survived. It was no one fault. Afterwards some dreadful agonies that came randomly, he remained always scared, for some obscure reason, his damaged soul ended up to simply broke for handle nothing of the outside world … Appareances will came for later. Illusions will came for later. As he coughed, he was searching to be reassuring, as his expression decomposed in front of the agony sound he heard. There was a nod. Though, currently, he was frozen. Did he called a doctor before ? Did he even perceving Phantomhive calling one before ? Ah, these memories issues were terrible. Since he couldn't losing time in middle of his complete dissociation of the moment, he rushed for asking some glass of water to give Francis … and decided to ask an servant going around for a doctor. Yes, last thing to do concerning him was for a doctor to want to see him and note the disastrous state in which he was. Maybe whoever was coming might notice with his sad expression that something was wrong, but he didn't have to talk about it, right ? ❝ He will come. How did you catch a cold? I don't even remember any bad weather recently. ❞ He noted.

" Thank ya, been practicin' a long time. " She takes the compliment with a bow of the head. " Do ya have any talents? "
He didn't remember the last time he ever visiting an circus. Coming from the world he was coming from, all his recollections were bond to other priorities he had no remembrances to boucing back. There was awareness, especially with his name, he better be careful in middle of England --- though currently, he was simply someone unknown, an merely visitor … It was middle of noblesse spheres he bring over how he was Emperor of Britannia. ❝ Nothing physical at least. ❞ He laughed slowly. Could he considering take an intellectual fight with Hades as an talent ? ❝ Chess mostly. I'm mostly invigorated by a wonderful intellectual challenge. And you, how you do find motivation and inspiration ? I know so little about it. ❞

" ..... What a precarious hobby that must be. "
Not that she's in much position to talk. She was the same when she was younger, though a bit more subdued. Despite her reserved nature, some of her fonder memories involve 'punishing' the servants who bullied her by switching their items around and causing trouble for them.
She was miserable back then. Anxious, sad, and lonely. Yet, she wishes she could go back to that time of ignorance.
" If you're going to pull tricks, that's alright... But please don't make too much of a mess. "
Oh … Considering actual excitement he was currently fullfilled, receiving an comment towards how that hobby was precarious left him surprised for a few seconds. Well, he wasn't exactly causing troubles like causing a simple silly mess somewhere for escaping boredom, enjoying opportunity to had been left unsupervised … it was truly creating more chaos as he could. Within circumstances. Within what he could understand of an situation or a relationship. Or just jokes going a bit too far for everyone good … Hence, an offended pout betrayed his features. ❝ Creating chaos is timeless, not something that can have an expired date. ❞ He was confessing that, and yet, he was the first person not wanting personally experiencing that concept … which was tragically comic. Inside the warning she giving him, there was a little frustrated sigh. ❝ How much mess can I make ? ❞ Because quite honestly, if he started, he was going to use the servants thermometer to see how scared they could be … but he had to make sure it pointed in a very particular direction of one witch … meaning he needed a bit her approval of his desires for his margin.

"Hmm. What could have brought on this question... I wonder, I wonder...." Usually, those who begin suddenly asking questions of witches have been burnt in their past, or are chasing after some sort of desire. But this frustration feels different. "Unfortunately, I'm not so kind that I'd divulge the nature of my magic so easily! Perhaps I am an omnipotent with the same skills as a God, or perhaps I brew potions over a cauldron day in and day out, or perhaps I haunt lost children deep in the forest! Ahhhh, I wonder which is the turth! Kihihihii....!"
Witch had been for too long simply an word balanced to his face. By what nonsense the Doctor became one ? What he was exactly talking about with that word, and why that single term was more powerful than be an Time Lord, huh ? He never have been flattered by an clear meaning on the matter … and cannot say he loved his travels inside that higher spheres. Witches were crazy. Witches were insane. Witches when that much evil he feel truly offended to be considered inferior than him --- the Master. Witches wore his name like a veil, whether they were guardians of a 'chessboad' or a traveler, they dominated his name…and he didn't like that. He was supposed to rule them all --- to be the Master of all the witches !
If with Lady Bernkastel, his patience was pretty much limited and his ability to keep his calm was pretty much inexistent since she was representing somewhere a miracle he wanted to touch someday by his hands, mocking smile expressed itself as she was referring magic. Yeah, he had pretty much perceived it --- magic. Be fooled during centuries. Be trapped inside an chessboard Oh, even the incarnation of his dear Doctor be beautifully manipulated as an Piece. ❝ You are the goddesses of your own universe, wouldn't it be too much to ask to be a conceptual goddess ? ❞ He requested it with an kind of unseen frustration who quite understood that point still. Another laugh followed concerning that other definition. ❝ Cauldrons used must be very different from those of humans. Compared to a visible potion, no one knows when the enchantment started, let alone when it will end. ❞ Another laugh followed. ❝ Last one would be so much boooooring, don't you think, only unexciting ? ❞

"If you think blind faith can carry you through this world, then by all means, I have no right to stop you. But don't expect me to do the same." Even though she says that, her tone is laced with judgment. She can't imagine herself acting with such flimsy backup.
"Though, I have to wonder. Faith in what exactly? Yourself? A higher power? A loved one? Beliefs and devotion change from person to person. What is it that fills you with this much confidence?"
He couldn’t express disappointment --- he had been expecting that kind of disagreement … Nevertheless, as dramatic as it was, he desired believe she might trust some portions of his words, taking all the hope within them. Something he did so vividly before, carry on regardless if the result didn’t ending up as he was expecting, as he wanted hoping influence of his words or his presence would made eventually an difference … that he would make better humans he came across. She probably won’t understand why it was so much important. Actually, he couldn’t told her the reason why it was so vital for him … Playfulness resonated within a short instant within his features, as there will a strange resonance of the tragedy.
Tragedy of the one she had been victim of …
... but also all the ones he had been carrying away.
❝ Don’t you have faith in something, something that giving you hope ? ❞ He asked as innocently as possible, as there was awareness his future rambling will touching important points. Remembrances he should left behind, direct interferences he couldn’t frontally expose. He appreciated her various propositions, when he would have loved confessing the first one as main argument --- or the third. Second one was a bit complicated when he passed twelve years remembering he had been an witch the whole time, had been a witch a long time ago … and that past remained yet present, within another exposed cat box in which he was the dead cat, in which resurrection had came from the most uncanny of manners. ❝ Oooh, you steal away words out of my lips. I would love say I’m confident but I’m trying to be. Good time of showing off had been a bit behind me considering how life had been hard these days. Humanity. Didn’t you believe in humanity ? Probably not. Possibly not with how Ushiromiya Eva blaming you and treating you the whole time --- ❞ He was pulling himself in trouble, but regardless, he would have to facing judgement when it came from that last chance. It couldn’t be worse than that day … It couldn’t worse than the day of the tragedy … ❝ I always believed in the goodness of humanity. Always. Sometimes be disappointed, sometimes exasperated of some of their decisions, but humans, always moving on, always found amazing ways, always surviving on their own manners … ❞ Sadness wrapped his expression at once, as brown eyes remained within that distress as he couldn’t finish his rambling in front of her. He learned the hard way how it wasn’t always the case sadly.
How humanity can be their own monsters.

This boy was a bit of a handful. Honestly, his master seemed more like an angel at times, but it is still a learning experience to see what a normal child is actually like.
"Yes, the Phantomhive family has quite the magnificent garden." He wonders if he's seen white roses before? Come to think of it, probably not given Jim's background from what he's looked into.
Amusing was how he lightly appreciated the landscape around Phantomhive's mansion … in an better approach than his own … Maybe because it was Phantomhive : he was envious about everything the boy was, regardless how he had the exact same thing. Noblesse sphere loved Phantomhive … compared to him. If he could, he could annoy Phantomhive all day, not even try to behave himself for one second and leave him alone breath for one tiny second --- he needed attention. He needed eternal attention, and Phantomhive was inclined to answer it ! Whatever if he showed how an terrible boy he was, he could scream, he could cry, he could remain silent, his head would decomposing with emotions and oh, it was wonderful ! ❝ Quite an magnificent one~ ❞ How envious he could be cannot escape the gaze of an demon. Though, most of the flowers he witnessed inside his personal garden were roses … not inside that white color. ❝ Did these white roses had an particular meaning ? Something metaphoric ? You think your young Master will be mad if I offer him some for dinner ? ❞ He asked playfully.

Suzaku stares at the other. He kept silent as he recalls their childhood all the way to now. Standing face to face, were they leant to have an open chat? He wasn't sure he should express himself even now.
No, hw should, let Lelouch realize what effected him what they should talk about. But still... Suzaku hesitated. "You're right...So,Was there anything else you..you wanted to say?"
It was one of these conversations he avoided most of time. Of course, if they could managed to talk more or less --- so many conversations, so many remembrances, so many events, so many memories were never mean to be opened again … awakening all the pain he brought towards his long-term friend … awakening all the blood he committed and everything he had been before. Nevertheless, it had been something he had been silently craving, as an silent wish --- offering to Suzaku an second chance in middle of existence, meanwhile his immortal one would have no comfort at the end … Hoping to give peace to one of his first friends, who allowing him for a long time, to live inside an world he had been trapped with, becoming another one of these pawns he had control with … Where to start was most painful beginning. Where he cold begin to admit things, confessing disastrous state of an heart who had been tourmented by appareances given to the outside world and the willing pain he asssumed inside his being ? No judgement was physically brought in front of Suzaku’s hesitation. After all, there was still dreadful remembrances about them, about what had becoming their relationship both had try to maintain … where he cannot expect compassion of his old friend to showing how he could still destroy life without mean to, even without his asset ! Hesitation was presented inside his expression, as purple eyes wasn’t sure what to say first. ❝ Remind you that I still care about you, despite ... everything that's happened between us. Despite future I gave and created for you. Not really things I accoustumed to say. Something happened, and I know perfectly well that you will be angry with me if I confess it to you abruptly. I paid for my dishonesty, beyond death, beyond my second chance. ❞

During so many weeks, he had thoughtfully dreamed about been physically able to move at his leisure : to visiting every corridor of Phantomhive manor without asking the Earl permission and spying over the servants, watching around moves of Sebastian, enjoying landscape of his garden … to enjoy opportunity to showing his face at Phantomhive’s office. These haunting moments he never reached back by the instant they were finished still silency tourmented him inside an corner of his mind. He missed these circumstances, when, regardless how delicate his situation was, he was far too much distracted by Phantomhive for remembering Claude absence, Claude desire to kill him … Even inside each second of his physical curse, inside each moment of his agony, he had wanted to believe Claude misunderstanding would be corrected. Maybe Claude perceived wrongly Ciel as a better deal than him, but didn’t willingly mean to kill him, right ? Maybe he had some honest affections towards him his soul was worth something ? Maybe he could be resonated ? With certainty, if his metaphoric twin hadn’t decided to take his place by being murdered by his demon butler, he would have believed this magnificent delusion No miracle appeared.
He will never see Claude again. An truth he ejected of his mind by starting that strange paradox to inform Ciel of upcomping threat, understanding lack of interest coming from his butler over his own case — but never desired to accept mentally or emotionally it. Sebastian was shadow of something he never got : this insidious and playful submission, concerned about the well-being of the soul of his contracting party, this protective canvassing and the passing desires to titillate him intellectually always have been an terrible mirror … He might be obeyed by his demon butler, he spent three quarters of his time hoping to receive an emotion beyond his indifference, which was filled with total failure, where this indifference had never dissolved from his face. Been endlessly watched by sadness gaze of Hannah was somewhere an memory of that time : the other demon of his side who remained discrete, contenting his needs, but barely dared talk with him … Though, circumstances were a bit different. Hannah had been the key who lead his metaphoric twin to Hades — and enter illegally inside the Underground for talk — Hannah was the reason of his childhood village destruction and an past fragment of his brother … That endless picture of a quest over the Golden Witch who had to been found inside trials of the underground, for touch eventually the Underground …
Every gaze inside his manor was an recollection about how worthless his existence had became. How, inside current circumstances, his entire life had been an entire joke to start to finish. Every remembrance of Claude inside that huge manor generated an inability to wandering around, to even desiring wake up from an prison he might never escape ! He was doomed to becoming Alois Trancy, the real one, the obscure one, the one he stolen the place, the one that should have been remaining alive ! Besides, his mind just slept into shadows. Phantomhive would have to informing the Queen he won’t be available for an moment, for have others matters — most likely emotionally recover — He wanted nothing to deal with noblesse spheres. It was too early for remember how rotten noblesse was, inside memories anchored deeply inside his body about that part, when anyways, he wasn’t even sure if it was worth trying to be accepted … He was supposed to be marginal. He was supposed to be that upper shadow that ruled every corner of the darkness. And he was quite marginal, for not being made of the same wood of golden nobility, having known streets and having been for a long time without a future, but he was devoured by these darkness which he was supposed to govern. Sleep as longer as possible, sleep as deeply as possible, that was only interest of his days, where few hours awake consisted to eat and hear news from Phantomhive.
Hence, when someone wanted to saw him that day, he thought, at the moment, wrongly, it was Phantomhive. Oh, he really wanted monopolize him again. To be constantly in his arms or temporarily at his side, he could forget double absence of Claude and his metaphorical twin. Each mirror was a reminder of the lie he reflected. His personality couldn’t do the latter justice, and there was no idea how legit he could be. Every memory of his current position almost made him regret having survived. He had been ready, sensing his death coming through his curse, to die that day — it was his healing from his immediate curse, in an echo that should have been his last breath, that he understood that his metaphorical twin was gone … and even resurrected as a witch, still having marks of how he was murdered, he couldn’t stay in this world … was too angry and risked resenting him … where world of this second manor and secrets were locked behind him when this place had been sealed between dimensions … He was only a physical legacy, which was nothing, which had lost absolutely everything. He couldn’t see anyone, and it was the guest’s first name that forced him to move from his bed. Persephone. Luckily his metaphorical twin had told him who it was, because he was in a beautiful darkness concerning Hades. However, unfortunately, he had never met him. Didn’t know what he looks like. Didn’t know where he was. He had absolutely nothing to contribute. He didn’t know anything. He was in total darkness. However, if she was there, it was for a reason. So it was after a supreme effort to get dressed that he went to greet her, where the emptiness of his blue eyes was by no means hidden. He could still feel Hannah’s sadness, still silent … He had stopped talking, remaining mute and residing in the restful covers of his bed, so he didn’t know what to say. It took another immense effort. ❝ Anything to ask me ? ❞ He had to remember that he was the Earl Trancy, so she had certainly heard of him.

Researching to gain an upper-hand with Alice, enjoying to play with her favorite ‘salve’ came as an familiar entertainment that tenderly warmed his heart. fully, With sincerity and perseverance, he was trying to win this fight in these common battles: Alice always had the word to make him ��suddenly brutally embarrassed or always had the little phrase to make him uncomfortable… where he counterattacked after embracing the entirety of this passing feeling ! Once touched inside his most secretive emotions of attachment towards her, he desired showing her how much he was caring about her, how much she always was valued by him — meantime seeking to inculcate some elegants manners, vainly, feeling himself living in this princely title of future duke of the Vessalius, playing with desire this place of king … Though, betrayal thoughtfulness came to tourmenting him along during these innocents games. Taste of circumstances inside an playing illusions, in middle of something he was recreated inside an noblesse he partially saved and experienced by instants, had concealed distress behind it. He didn’t wanted to borther his friends over these strange circumstances who happened. He didn’t wanted bring too much an matter over an aside experience he received, in middle of timing, where his memories would conceal guilt and powerlessness over an tragedy … He was still an noble only by cherished remembrances, when time clock didn’t sounded as it had moved from ten years, when absence of news of his father didn’t resonated like an entire abandonment … He touched noblesse sphere again accidentally, on brust of his good heart. Discovered how much he was well off in silent darkness with future call from a devouring Abyss. Darkness were able to devouring people inside their everything, to consuming their soul, to corrupting an presented goodness … or to changing dramatically an entire existence, when he maintly touched partially these shadows … were touched by remembrance of ancient melody …With his friends, eventually, he would manage not to fail them. Not to remain simple observer of their troubles, not to stay inside an backstage seat when he desired to act. With Alice, knowing she will perceiving these little moments when he will not feeling exactly as the same, even though his lips would only confessing partially reasons on it, he anchored himself to that brightness sensation with her … his natural desire to protect her of everything … played around those innocence embrace inside their mutual playfulness and his deplorable lost. As emerald eyes crossed observing ones of Gil, an kind of emotional turmoil showed up. Gaze desired to be sharpened for recognizing when burden over his shoulders were too heavy. He might probably not be around during ten years, he desired more than ever catch up all that time. He might turn out old, not the same kid he loved at every occassion tourmenting, his playfulness could be expressed inside various manners and remaining inventive — besides to knowing someone who triggered many ~nasty~ ideas about how acting playful, when himself disagree about how this was close to fun definition … there was an gentleness inside his tourments. As much he was welcomed with terrible sweetness coming from Alice, barely sharped. Realizing from afar something inside the gaze of Gil, he used an opportunity to acting from behind in a surprise hug to Alice, before innocently rushing over to Gil. Teasing him would no doubt brighten her day, to which he offered her his biggest smile. ❝ Are you worried I’m getting eaten by the rabbit, Gil ? ~ ❞ An empathizing over that metaphoric description naturally escaped his lips recently. If he could, he would take one of these Funtom rabbit stuffed animals, for feeling his heart and his entire mind resonating with it … which partially acted with Alice too. There were less consideration about knowing she was B-Rabbit, when even her Chain existence, resonated something inside of him … ❝ Being worried about me so early in the day is rewarded with a surprise hug ! ❞ He bounced back as he hugged him, laughing, expressing his most brightful smile. ❝ No jealousy like that~ ❞ He still wanted to annoying him for avoid whatever worries he might have, but had to think about it … when as his smile inscreased with pleasure, meanwhile been deeply affectionate, sought to taste this cup of coffee.

IF LACIE COULD WRITE her own story, she’d have the possibility to turn her life into a different direction and make it more lively for herself. But there was no bliss eternity awaiting for her, there was no more story after she turned twenty-five. She looked forward to everyday life from her visits to town to the dreadful parties - she had to admit on this one, though, there were parties filled with unexpected events---she could remember the one where she was being asked for a dance several times by the same person and she declined him every time just to annoy him. He didn’t seem to take it well because the day after that the Baskervilles received a letter about the less charming side of the Baskervilles ladies, referring specifically to the red-eyed woman with raven hair. Lacie smirked at his attention-seeking behavior and she burnt the letter in a fire.
“Or~!” Lacie exclaimed. “The joys of being alive, the warmth of a beautiful sunlight in the morning and the blessings of a family member~” She was referring to her brother Oswald. He’d deny it, were he to hear her saying it. He did everything for her out of love and she was more than happy to return that feeling. “We have so many books with bad endings and the bittersweet ones are being left out. And the happy ones? Hah, they don’t exist in the eyes of mortal man. I wish for that to be known more. We shouldn’t hide that what we yearn for the most.”
His daily life was associated towards a single wish, a single desired expected ‘miracle’ to be created inside his own hands, meanwhile carry on an illusion, facing endlessly illusion of his own being … Into times when enthousiasm was at his peak, when he seemed from the outside 'happy enough’ for desiring passing time in most glorious means, he preferred forgotten all these moments condensed in sadness. All these darkness shadows towards circumstances he was still searching to not constantly look back … Nevertheless, outside Phantomhive, there was no possible talent about communication with someone else. Naturally, he managed to be at his brightnest, to ignoring even illusions he was associating towards the role of his name, however, was limited over understanding of the world. Noblesse sphere was an realm of discovery, when he will have to becoming an shadowing king, however, with his impossibility to hide his emotions, he would hardly be able to fake a trust bring into them … outside Phantomhive and her, he didn’t really care. Noblesse was associated to one name, one haunting name, when he wished the day of his coming back —where at least all his frustration would be able to explode. Where he would take revenge into porportions he wanted. Where he would be finally flattered by a miracle. Where he would be acknoweldged. Where he would gain his first step of victory — Though, without effort, he noticed troubles inside people around him. He pretended not to perceiving the sadness over Hannah features most of time, as he preferred not open that painful topic. As everything had been foreshadowed since the beginning … Inside his childhood, he lose his brother because of a demon, who destroyed him as a person … without knowing, couple of years later, he would lose an metaphoric twin BECAUSE of a demon. Slowly, he wanted embracing the world of metaphoric conversations, to found lifeness into emptiness he was escaping from.
Curiousity flattered his features as she wanted him burn the letter on fire. He always understood and catch up things too late … when the accurate synchronisation might eventually came. He stopped be too hard on himself on that point. He knew nothing of the world meanwhile knowing too much, he contradicted himself between his wishes and the reality … he accepted there was a long time needed for recover of his traumas. There was an moment of silence. Sadly, he didn’t feel 'the joys of being alive’, and wished one day, he would feel what it looked like as emotions … Since he rarely played that card of liar with her, for their future interactions, he preferred not open it now. ❝ I can empathize with the beautiful sunlight in the morning ! Far more better than the dawn, who like a reminder of all these terrible darkness about to fall down ! ❞ He wasn’t going to admit right away he had a phobia in the dark to the point facing obscurity would make him scream. Where his panic attacks where so much uncontrollable he traumatized Phantomhive more than one time. Will remain most comic thing about everything about him. He pouted over the last one. ❝ You are lucky then ! I have noooooooo noooooooooone in mind concerning a family member I can trust. Sadly, the Trancy are kinda asshole. I’m an sunlight compared to them. I’m the sunlight doing some clean up inside the family ! ❞ He exclaimed in joy. If only he had the guts to actually kill someone or give orders for such things … He contented himself not facing Arnold Trancy even since circumstances who happened. His first revenge was going to be that old asshole. His metaphoric twin didn’t waited for trap him into his web … He wanted tasted that pleasure too. Even if it referred to carefully planning a scandal … and be treated as the revolution, the savior, the person able to be trust inside the family ! There was another laugh. ❝ I’m tired to read tragedies. ❞ Phantomhive could confirm he didn’t really read much to begin with — compared again to his metaphoric twin, who had some talent about how turn a story … entertaining — but there was possibilities of that not be exposed into his next sentences. He was mostly tired of experiencing tragedies. ❝ I prefer when it’s comic into a strange way. When the bittersweet could balance over gentleness. Where all the distress could be perceived into an amusing way. ❝ There was another laugh. ❝ Depending. An happy ending had to made by the hero, right ? It’s the hero’s journey to doing everything for get that happy ending, by doing the good choice ? Maybe some have flattered into another glorious dimensions, when all dreams are fullfilled, but I’m think it’s possible to turn into a reality. The hero influencing the others characters for example. Or better — a miracle. Or a certainty that something wonderful is about to happen. Without bring such prayers to God though. Or towards an magnificient demon able to offer you some pointless dream. Nah ! By wanting a miracle in silent prayers for secret support ! ❞ At least, he could repeat what he mostly hear from his metaphoric twin in pure devotion, though an admiration betrayed inside his ocean eyes. When he didn’t say the word. ❝ The mortal world is sometimes disappointing support has to been brought inside the abyss ! ❞ He grinned another time. ❝ Content of that letter was bad taste ? ❞

"I'm fi-" His words were cut off as another fit of coughs came over him. Astre had not been feeling well and and had been outside in the cold air for too long. His body felt like it was going to give way any moment and well if he was burning up it meant he had a fever. "I just need a good rest and i'll be fine."
An short panic instant betrayed his features. Possibly, he wouldn’t never be able again to picturing someone coughting without recollecting what happened to him … Still, as much his gaze showed serious anxiety for something so small, he anchored himself into recent physical touch he did in his forehand. With some rest, eventually, it will pass … and he can use him as teddy bear … if he didn’t invinting himself for bring affectionnate reassurances towards him. It came naturally to him to simply enjoying every occassion to be close to Phantomhive ! There was still that fear about be rejected, that permanent terror he might doing something wrong … but well … with the time, he must have been accoustumed to what to expect from him, right ? It wasn’t like he was famous for behaving normally … or even having some common sense ! Or consideration about social norms, all associated bullshit associated with his status, all associated boredom linked towards ‘normality’. For a couple of seconds, there was an emotion of responsability, who was still oppressing inside his being. ❝ Why not laying down for some moments ? You will have some nurse with you. ❞ He would apology in advance for what he will do … for been totally powerless to take care of someone. Managing to take care of himself, not to rest some days into comforting ambiance of his sheets, sometimes remained a feat. He was able to stay enthused longer, to pretend he hadn’t been emotionally shaken by what had happened, yet his despair only grew deeper. Recollections of his curse into details like those were fragmented remembrance of an sadness he did his best not to show … He invited gently Astre to lay down over one of luxurious couchs.

"Hmm, well you do well enough pulling off wearing dresses. And especially wigs. So why not dress up as a princess it would be very amusing at least for me." Just as long as he wasn't dragged into being dolled up. Astre did NOT want to wear a corset again.
An wave of enthousiasm wrapped his features, flattered towards sudden compliments … over that long time ago memory. He expressed his first sentence playfully, considering how much he touched for other reasons the experience of ‘boy in distress’ — though yet unable to offering complete derision over the topic without be triggered back and breaking down … for still yet … digest … circumstances about how his life will be until his last breath, how he was supposed to bring justice over a legacy without be allowed to confess full details. He didn’t really get an occassion to ask Phantomhive about his 'opinion’ back over that particular reference : their relationship was different, he was walking into a path of illusions … His late approbation was gratefully welcomed. Though, he would remaining true to himself. Sadly, there was no occassion to testing that point over his metaphoric twin, treating that topic as a domain of complete freedom about expected behavior … if he even wanted to playing such role. He appreciated, with Astre, to not focusing solely over the boy he was supposed to be — to tasting one more that sensation to act as much he desired, without consideration for feedback. ❝ Oooooh, I’ll be your beautiful princess waiting full of affection from her prince~ ❞ He charmed back, when joyfully, he crossed once more personal space by moving along his face. ❝ A magnificent prince ready to help his princess in distress ! ❞ He playfully dramatized. ❝ I appreciate that you loved the maid ~ You will surely enjoy rest of my lonely hobbies~ ❞
