"...I'm beginning to think that maybe these people deserved their fates." Oh my goodness, an angel condoning murder and denying the merit of blind faith??? The world must be coming to an end.

There's definitely something wrong with me.

"Maybe, maybe not. I wasn't the judge of that. Spyders was."

2015-05-01 03:38:58

🌀

"......" Oh. Right. They'd lived together in France, hadn't they? That must have meant hunting together. And so we found ourselves on the topic of Spyders yet again. There was a question I was curious to ask, but it seemed intrusive and a bit morbid. So I withheld it.

●

She studied his face. It seemed like he was thinking something. "You look troubled. Something on your mind?"

2015-05-01 03:44:15

🌀

I frowned. /Now/ who had the awkward mind-reading abilities? "Not particularly, just wondering, so Spyders selected all your targets before?" It wasn't even that troubling of a question, it just seemed impolite. But if she was that set on me asking...

What am I saying, of course she can't read minds. That was rude.

●

She paused for a moment. "Yes, and no. No, because most of them were on a whim. Yes, because he'd get pissed of even I even thought of killing someone other than who he told me to kill. At least, if I wanted to, that is."

2015-05-01 03:54:27

🌀

Somehow, that wasn't a surprise. "...he does seem like he would do that, doesn't he. Obsessive one, that. I won't intrude any more, though."

2015-05-01 03:57:16

●

"Yeah, he was very controlling." She looked down. "I didn't mind it for a while unfortunately."

2015-05-01 03:58:15

🌀

"......." I turned and began to put the cleaning supplies away. I said I wouldn't intrude any further, and I'm not one to lie. Whatever her feelings were on that matter, she was free to keep them to herself.

●

She got off the counter,hands still in her pockets, and walked a few steps, her back to him. Suddenly she turned to him. "I'm afraid I'm going to end up like him one day." She admitted.

2015-05-01 04:05:02

🌀

.....oh, sweet dear. I straightened and looked over at her with a comforting, slightly sad smile. "Of course you won't, dear. He may have tried to make you like him, but you're different where it matters, and he can never change that."

2015-05-01 04:10:27

●

"...I don't know. It seems like I'm just like him in more ways than one.... I guess that's why I'm against the whole turning thing."

2015-05-01 04:13:07

🌀

"That fact alone is why you won't ever be like him. Some similarities are unavoidable, comes with the territory of living together for a century with a bond like yours, but those are little things and you shouldn't focus on them."

2015-05-01 04:16:25

●

She looked away once more. "Yeah, I guess you're right."

2015-05-01 04:17:21

🌀

I went over and hugged her. She was so tiny, and my arms practically enveloped her. "Coming from me this doesn't sound like much, but don't worry, dear. You won't change, and if you do, it can only be for the better."

2015-05-01 04:22:03

●

Slowly, she returned the hug. "...Thank you." She spoke up after a few moments.

2015-05-01 04:25:51

🌀

I smiled gently. "Of course." There was really nothing else that needed to be said.

2015-05-01 04:30:44

●

For a moment, she remained there, and slowly let go, placing her hands back into her pockets.

2015-05-01 04:31:59

🌀

She truly was a sweetheart. If darling couldn't protect her, I would do my best to see to it in his stead. I looked down at her thoughtfully before going to place the last of the cleaning supplies in the cabinet quietly.

Terezi left the conversation at that, and slowly retreated to the living room to read.

A few hours later, Terezi was getting ready to bring the dress to Lance's shop when she heard a knock on the door. Vampire? She moved to answer it.

2015-05-01 04:42:12

🌀

I looked up from organizing the cupboards under the kitchen sink -- there was honestly nothing else to do if I didn't want to interrupt her -- at the knock. Probably darling. I decided I should stay in here for now.

2015-05-01 04:44:06

●

Upon answering the door, she was pushed inside by Ivory, door shutting behind them as she entered.

"Look I'm sorry about last time and I really wanted to formally apologize in person. I also needed your help with sewing some things so I was hoping if you could help me." Ivory stumbled out, her words a mile a minute.

"You're forgiven, and what do you need?"

2015-05-01 04:50:36

🌀

I heard a woman's voice. Definitely not darling's, unless he'd learned ventriloquism. I stood up and poked my head out into the living room...ah. Ivory. She seemed panicky, which didn't match the words coming out of her mouth. What on Earth?

2015-05-01 04:52:16

"So Lance suggested to me- hi Seculus-" Her gaze glanced to the male then back to Terezi " that you could teach me how to sew dresses because he thinks you need a partner in sewing."

He thought she needed help? "I'd be happy to teach you sometime, however I don't think I need an assistant." For some reason, in the back of her mind she seemed...desperate, like she had been trying to do something but it wasn't getting anywhere.

2015-05-01 04:58:24

🌀

How curious. I didn't interrupt them, but I waved, frowned, and watched the interaction. Something seemed off here, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Perhaps it was Lance's sudden suggestion for Terezi to make her sewing a social event. Didn't he know her better than that?
