Fruit From The Forbidden Tree

Alecto crossed her legs while listening to the woman comment on the events of the event. The woman knew everything well since she had been entertaining herself much earlier than that moment at the Halloween party. Why would she just kill someone when she could torture even madness or until the body gradually lost its life? “This is what happens when you decide to be away from events.” She commented casually, looking at Epine coldly. “Or who knows, something a little more important.” Alecto, as one of the leading Death Eaters, knew the missions of other colleagues very well and hoped that they would fulfill their responsibilities very well. She was not insane for the purist proposal, but her desire for blood made her a precious soldier for Uncle Voldie.

“I had intended to come back before Halloween to attend the Ball, but the Minister in France can be such an indecisive man. Sometimes I wonder if he’s actually of any use at all.” Epine sighed, eyeing her nails to mentally make note of needing a much-deserved manicure. “But I do love knowing that things are doing so well here in England, and I never pass up a chance to get to see Rabastian.” 

 “ That is where we are different. I love listening to their bleeding hearts. Hearing them mourning and sobbing over their poor friends. It really makes me day. I do think it is pointless to cry over them, but I am more than happy that they do it. Oh if anything it made people bolder. Which is just more enjoyable for me.” He said.

“ Ah a gift, I am touched.” To anyone else he would have been sarcastic, but he meant it with her. “ Rodolphus doesn’t deserve it at all, thank you, Now I feel bad for not getting you something.”

“They drone on for what feels like ages, honestly. It almost makes it a bit too easy to see which of them are bound to be next on the list.” She could only listen to the crying for so long before wanting to silence them. It was useless to cry over something so trivial, and they should have been more thoughtful of how they acted. After all, it was meant as a warning to the others and not as a way to make them all hold hands and vow revenge. Though, the revenge did make things more entertaining in the long run. 

Rabastan had little people that he genuine liked and considered a friend, but he adored Epine. From the moment they met, it was as if too kindred spirits had been reunited. “ I would never hog all the fun from you, Epine. I am not that cruel.” He laughed. “ I am all about giving gifts early, don’t worry there will be others for you to see.” 

“It was almost unbearable to listen to those bleeding hearts mourn over them. I barely see a reason to shed tears over it, if anything, it should serve as a warning for everyone not on board to be less sloppy about their loyalties.” She seemed to wrinkle her nose at the memory as she let her hands move through her bag to take out a wrapped item that she then held out for him. “There was a beautiful art collection when I was back home. The wizard made totems of fine wood and it made me think of you.”

“Well, well, well...” Epine clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth, a small sliver of a smile curving her lips. The sight of a particularly familiar bird was enough to clue her in on who was to follow it’s presence. After all, she had been rather bored of her recent work and far more interested in meeting someone that was more entertaining. Though, she would gladly take the company of an already-known body over a stranger she would have to break in with her own claws.
