The Kitchen, 4:30am Day 19 Defying Gravity

Sep 16, 2006 13:09

It's early early early in the morning. Even the kitchen staff isn't fully awake. But he's found him way down to the kitchen and made himself a cup of tea. The steam from the cup curls up in a wispy ghost and warms his face as much as the cup warms his hands. He made sure that Wolfram was warmly tucked in before he left.

He looks up sharply when he hears footsteps. It could just be the morning breakfast crew, but you can never be sure, can you? Sliding his tea cup out of the way, just incase, he waits.

Uh hu, right. Weird human child. "Morning, night, it's still dark outside either way. What are you doing here in the kitchen at this hour of day?"

......... "Do you mean to say," he starts slowly, "That there are no Mazoku where you come from at all?" He couldn't even imagine it. The Mazoku were, are, always have been the most powerful of beings in world. A place where they don't exist...... it doesn't seem possible!

Several spoonfuls of sugar are stirred into one of the tea cups as he ponders it. If there were no Mazoku, well, for one, he wouldn't exist. But how much else would be thrown off? Would his father have even been born? Or was his destiny too enwrapped with the fate of the Mazoku as well? Whatever the case, Alford had mentioned a double the last time he saw him, meaning that the Markina family at least was probably incredibly pure blood human.

"My thanks," he manages as he sees Alford bring the food over and holds out the overly sweet cup of tea to the human. "We aren't the stuff of children's stories... we are real. We exist. We live and breathe and die. Just like humans."
