So basically, we're encouraged to fight among ourselves, are we...

Must we? We get along better now, surely we can come to some understanding!

It's only one team, and all of you have someone you want to protect.

[personal profile] everythingknife 2013-04-20 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
True as that may be. . . There's enough of us here for a vote to be possible. It's not. . . at all fun to be on the losing side, but surely we can at least make the attempt to keep it fair to all of us.

Well, I'm giving my vote to Cardinal. You and Gil are probably going for Byzantium, aren't you? That's two and two.

[personal profile] everythingknife 2013-04-20 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Then. . . we'll see what Little Lion says. If he chooses someone other than Byzantium. . . I don't want to fight, m-much as. A-as I want Ciel safe! But we don't need a fight like— the last time! So. . . I won't interfere, if that's how our vote goes.

...

Are there any chances Byzantium could have another team protecting them? I care for Sunshine, but don't misunderstand. If it's between you and him, I'm aware you'd be much less of a pain to deal with in this sort of game.

[personal profile] everythingknife 2013-04-20 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I. . . I'm not certain. I should have paid more attention, but outside of these little battles, I don't want to bring up terrible memories in those I care about.

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2013-04-20 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ god this is taxing even when I'm not personally invested in it ]

... I'm sorry.

[personal profile] everythingknife 2013-04-20 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It isn't your fault. . . I shall just hope for them. He's been here much longer than I, s-surely there are others!

[ she says it more in hope than really in belief of the words ]

[ lowering himself to her height so he's eyes-to-eyes with her, and putting a hand on the top of her head, stroking lightly ]

I can't say "it will be fine", but ... you should believe in those you care for.

[ closes her eyes and swallows, trying to stop her tears from welling up when she opens them again ]

. . . I do. I do very much. Ciel's very determined, and... I am sure everyone of them, on that team, wants to live as well. But this isn't about them, it's about. . . Luck, and hoping those that care for them don't have reasons to choose others. It's harder to believe in that, but them I do believe in.

Luck, huh. I guess in this sort of situation there isn't much they can do.
everythingknife: (I can't see what's coming)

[personal profile] everythingknife 2013-04-21 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all. Just hope, as much as I am.

... What I said about making new memories for every negative one applies for this sort of thing too, you know.
everythingknife: (we pretend to understand)

[personal profile] everythingknife 2013-04-21 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Then. . . I never did get to have my tea party. Would you like to attend?
thankyouverymooch: (pic#2216700)

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2013-04-21 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ smiling, and nodding ]

I'll help you organize it.
everythingknife: (hold on to the ones you love)

[personal profile] everythingknife 2013-04-21 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ HUGS, wrapping her arms around him ]

Ooh, thank you so much! I'd like that, I would really like that.

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2013-04-21 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ OH NO IT'S CUTE. A little surprised by the hug, but he's returning it, patting her back ]

You're welcome.
everythingknife: (we pretend to understand)

[personal profile] everythingknife 2013-04-21 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ she buries her head into him a little, before turning her head to the side so she can speak clearly ]

As you'll be helping. . . is there anyone you wish to invite, as well?

There's a friend of Saffron. —Ah, and my husband on Fawn.
everythingknife: (Bring back imagination)

[personal profile] everythingknife 2013-04-21 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
—Husband!? But! Oh dear, have I been making a terribly big mistake!?

Don't take it so seriously, it's mostly a joke. She married Sunshine as well, you know.

[personal profile] everythingknife 2013-04-21 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
W-what a strange sense of humor!
