《✒ℒℯ𝓃ℴ𝓇ℯ_𝒱 🍷》

Oh there you are, I'd been meaning to ask you something.

Though it can be quite difficult to find time for it...

By chance, can we have a little chat about yours... "Friends?"

Hmm, well i have a few minutes to spare for you, why on earth do you want to talk about them?

Oh how kind of you, pet.

Well you see... I'd wanted to know more of their spectres and ... "Interests" of sorts.

Hasn't your game been giving you results? Though i will say i wouldnt be giving you such things it wouldnt be very trustworthy of me.

Perhaps it has nothing to do with the game. Come now, pet. I've given you quite a bit of information at no cost,

Are we not in this together?

We are in this together, i - well, i find it really hard to deny you sometimes.

Your words are contradicting each other, pet.

Now now, part of our game is sharing information, is it not?

Don't be so stubborn - am I really asking for anything grand?

Some likes, some details of their manifestations... Isn't that rather harmless?

Don't resist so much then,

Tell me~

I'd give you something in return

I have no idea what to say to this, lets say i do tell you what then?

You could rule all of nevermore with that information and what would be my reward? Hm?

Oh Lenore, I do so adore your theatrics

Though... Would what you have to share really hand me a further position than I already own?

And your reward? Well, pet, what is it you want, hmm?~

If it's reasonable, consider it yours.

You own many things but i wouldnt give any answers about my friends, spectres even if its for the game, my loyalty is hard to shake my dear~

As for my reward, hmmm...

Id like you to kiss me or has the great annabel lee lost some sort of confidence?

Sweet with words, you've always been so ...

A... Kiss it it? For the cost of your friends?

Well, isn't that a little... Unfair?

And you claim such loyalty to them- it sounds less than you'd like to claim.

Why, I haven't -

Whyever would a kiss of all things be the line?

Oh, but a kiss might ruin our game...

If you do kiss me i may very well give you what you want~

Though if you dont want too that's fine, i can go to Ada instead~

You mustn't have to resort to such petty tricks to get my attention.

You wouldn't dare to kiss another, certainly not while I am here and you are mine.

You're better trained than that.

Still...

If you crave a kiss so badly, convince me.

I might've initially, but now you'll need to convince me it is worth giving to you.

Our stolen moments ... Only remain as much of "moments" as we allow them, any more and it might become... Something else entirely.

Oh? You think id just walk up and kiss Ada? Well dont get me wrong she is very interesting but i only did it to get your attention and yes i am yours and you are mine

Convince you? Woe is me, have i wounded you so?

Id say this is a "stolen moment " my dear, all aline and to be fair you look more stunning this evening~

Oh there you are, I'd been meaning to ask you something.

Oh, hello Pet

It's been quite a bit of time, how was your stay, bedridden and supervised?

I wonder what story you came up with for how ill you'd been?

Regardless, you mentioned food,

Here, I remembered for you. Now that you're well again, you may have some.

Warmed with enough love to be edible, even to a picky eater such as you.

Tell me, was it worth the wait?

Picky? How dare you assume such things of me, Annabel lee.

It was worth it to see a smile on your face, now i shall eat in peace.

You -

You.....

You-!

Pet. Repeat that, what had you just gone off with??

Surely, you wouldn't have... Eaten chess pieces of all things to... Win, would you?

That's such a-!

Dirty trick? Really? I am hurt, truly, though i won fairly but i guess you want a rematch, yes?

Oh... nearly gave you splinters, hmm?

Well did it ever occur to you they are NOT for snacking?

I would almost feel sorry, if it weren't for the fact you ATE my incredibly expensive at that, handcrafted by the finest as if they were common finger food-

I was only curious of them, they are odd little things but taste interesting.

... Drew blood..

Pet.. what do you mean by that? Your mouth? Your throat? Your stomach?-

Don't say such vague statements..

And do not dare touch the rest.

You are banned from my chambers, from now on the rest will be kept under a watchful eye and hidden within a safe.

If you're that starved, allow me to offer you larger meals instead..

Not that I wish to reward this awful behavior however, be damned Lenore. I care too much to simply let you do such things..

I shall keep my hands away, my dear. Ill be extra careful to not eat anymore for you.

A meal? I hope something of good taste was prepared, Ira spoke of how the food here is sublime and i do find his words intriguing, Especially towards his own staff so do colour me curious.

Your mouth..?

Open your mouth, let me see.

Oh, Lenore.. you'll drive me mad fretting over you and your awful habits.

Must I give you a nanny? A maid to supervise your visit to ensure you don't harm yourself?

Or, actually... I'll assign that butler you have such a good relationship with.

A fitting punishment for one as reckless as you, yes?

You'll have no food until I tend to your wounds.

Its not that bad and as for your suggestions i shall see to it that you will get twice the punishment for doing such a thing.

Reckless? I would rather call myself an escape artist.

Looks like ill be here for a while then.

You -

You.....

You-!

Pet. Repeat that, what had you just gone off with??

Surely, you wouldn't have... Eaten chess pieces of all things to... Win, would you?

Though, it was adorable to see you try so hard only to lass out mid match- but really, do try and take better care of yourself Lenore

I should've called the maids to rake you to bed, though I suppose while I'm here, I can help with your care... Within reason.

You do look much better well rested, had you any good dreams?~

Perhaps, of winning? Knowing you and how your mind works

I cannot recall any dreams sadly, they must of slipped my mind.

What a shame you don't remember, or perhaps you're embarrassed to share?~

Nevertheless, Miss Vandernacht, now that you are back to the land of the living, you are out of my care, and destined for a rather crushing defeat.

Game on, pet~

Very well, let the best madwoman win~

What wishful thinking on your part - and quite rude.

I won't be enraged so easily, with cheap tactics.

Alright, do your best~

This is impossible?!

How did I...

How did you....

This cannot be right.

Where did you get the opportunity to win??

At my very own, best, game??

This is the game I hadn't ever lost and it's to-

You, pet?

[ .... Did she cheat? No, no. I was watching too closely. She hadn't the opportunity to... ]

[ Have I... gone soft? ]

Whatever.

Good game, pet

Next time, I will win.

Surely I tried too much to ensure you weren't immediately defeated, I wouldn't lose.

... As for the game and deal,

Good thing it was now and not then

My father would've had both our heads, if it hadn't ever been Leo but only Lenore.

Though I suppose, he still had.

... I am glad to have played your game before our end, however, Lenore.

It was rather... Romantic, I'll admit.

My~ my~

Dont talk too loud you may warn unsuspecting people my dear~

Also your father wouldnt care who it would be he was always smitten with me when i impersonated as 'Leo'.

Romantic? Maybe it was, every moment away from you is a heartache

Though, it was adorable to see you try so hard only to lass out mid match- but really, do try and take better care of yourself Lenore
