004- [filtered call and open action]- Living with Black Mage is tough...

[mercyasdeep]

[Early this morning, the Prince of Falena is making a call.]

[/Filtered to Miakis]

Miakis.... I....

Can I talk to you about something?

[Open action]

[Frey has spent the last week trying to mentally wrap his head around his recent murder of Black Mage. Even if the man was a psychopath who had commited countless atrocities, the Prince of Falena could

[Lyon happens upon the Prince in the park, recognizing instantly that he's not feeling quite himself. She walks up to him with a familiar concerned expression on her face.]

Prince... what's wrong?

[mercyasdeep]

Lyon!

[He jumps slightly. His guilty conscience is doing a job on his nerves. He has no idea how to explain to her that he's some kind of bloodthirsty killer.]

N- Nothing...

Nothing's...... wrong.

[float_like_a]

Prince... you know you can tell me about anything, right?

[mercyasdeep]

Lyon....

I....

[He wants too. He wants to be honest with her. She deserves that much. But he's... afraid. What would she think of him, if she knew? And then the words are out of his mouth before he even has time to think about it.]

I'm sorry...

[There is the sound of stomping behind the Prince, frantic stomping, he he doesn't notice it, the animals will and flee in the typical GOJIRA IS ATTACKING! way animals do.]

"...B... BROTHER?!"

....................

[Just. Staring. For a second he's just shocked to see his baby sister. He almost rushes over and grabs her up in a hug. But he stops himself at the last minute. Considering that he recently committed murder.... With Black Mages blood on his hands, on his conscience, he shouldn't touch her. It wouldn't feel right.]

Lym... Is that.... really you?

[He does feel as if he might cry though....]

[Tackle, glomp]

"BROTHER! IT IS YOU! NOBODY WOULD TELL ME WHERE YOU WERE! I'VE BEEN BANGING ON ALL KINDS OF DOORS TO FIND YOU!"

Re: Park

[mercyasdeep]

Lym! Oh, Lym, are you okay? How long have you been here?

[Hugging her very tightly now. The joy at seeing his sister again is ruthlessly overriding his angst for the moment.]

[sting_like_a]

Of course you can, Prince!

[Thoughtful pause...]

Do you need relationship advice~?

Re: [filtered]

[mercyasdeep]

[He gives a short, bitter laugh.]

I wish....

[Maybe he shouldn't bother her with this. This isn't her problem... but he has to talk to someone. Or he'll drive himself crazy thinking about it.]

Do you remember when I told you about that guy I live with?

[sting_like_a]

Like I could forget about that...

Wait, waaaaiiiiit. Did he hurt you again?

[mercyasdeep]

I'm starting to think it would be easier if he had....

[It certainly would have been much easier if Black Mage didn't seem so damn pleased about the whole thing...]

No, we.... got into an argument. I- I guess it was my fault. I was just so sick of watching him murder both of the drones. Of having to get rid of the bodies in case some little kid walks by.

[He's frustrated, and it shows.]

I know that everyone says the drones aren't really people, so maybe it shouldn't bother me, but... it does. I can't help it. It just does. And every day. Every day he...

[He realizes he's kind of rambling now.]

.....Sorry. I must sound like an idiot....

[perfektsymmetry]

[What no sad prince this isn't allowed!

Crowe was coming into the park to read. He has a book in hand a large white tom cat at his heels. He stops when he sees the Prince looking far off.]

Ah... hi there. Everything okay?

[mercyasdeep]

[He glances up, a little surprised to be pulled away from his thoughts.]

Crowe....

Umm.... it's nothing. I'm fine...

[Except he looks like someone just ran over his dog or something. Yeah, he's a terrible liar.]

[perfektsymmetry]

[Oh you're breaking his heart here.]

I-I won't bother you if you want, but you hardly look "fine".

[mercyasdeep]

I....

[He does want someone to talk to. But it isn't fair to Crowe to make him listen to Frey's problems. He sighs.]

I guess I'm not... not really. But, I wouldn't want to trouble you.
