HABITS  —

“Of course i do, i don’t- Have reason not to. The one safety net i’ve held all these years was that i was doing the right thing, that my revival meant something. He wouldn’t do it for the sake of some twisted goal. Even if time has changed him, he’s still a good person. I believe that.”

Her gaze drops him his, if only for a moment, turning her face to the side.

“...Ha ha....ever zhe optimist. I’ll leave you to zhose thoughts zhen. Zhere’s no point in revealing to you somezhing you vill not see no matter vhat I may say.”

Damn...she was still quite the admirable one. So loyal. So true to herself. Ha ha! It was funny! Oh so funny! That out of the three of them...of course she would be the one to remain, so seemingly untouched, unchanged, untainted by time’s cruel embrace.

There’s a crack in her visage, calm demeanor  shattering in one fell swoop, brows furrowing as she struggles to bite her tongue.

“The Commandant would not- He would not use me like a mere tool, he is a good man. A good man who wants to better the world. What has happened to you for you to turn into what you are now, Yeager? Do i even- Do i even want to know?”

She failed, her tone angered and confused, clearly not believing the way he spoke about someone so…important to her.

“I am doing something important. I may be- I may be told to do things a little differently, but-”

“...So even now, you continue to believe his vords. His promises. Ha ha.....oh my dearest dear. Time doesn’t leave anyvone untouched, unchanged. Vether you refuse to see it or not...I schuppose zhat really isn’t my place to say. It’s...sad zhough. Ja, ja...very sad, indeed.”

His voice had grown quiet for a moment, before he gave her another large toothy grin.

Cold words slice through her like a knife, cutting deep though she tried not to show it. Staring back with that gaze, so full of determination and pain she had grown accustomed to wearing, Casey feels her heart miss one crucial beat.

“I am not dead, Yeager. I want to be, but what can i hope to accomplish if i’m buried again? I was brought back for a reason, the Commandant wouldn’t have tried if there was no purpose.”

“Zhe Commandant~? Oh! Ja! Ja! Of course he had a reason! Ja! One BIIIIIIIG reason to bring a cute baby birdie like you back, my sveet, sveet, Liebe! He needed anozher little puppet for his collection! You’re very much on a string, yes, yes! A very tight little string! Just like zhe rest of us, you know! One tug, one, pull, one push, und all your little limbs move about as he vants zhem to! It’s....such an entertaining show he puts on, don’t you think?”

He laughed for a good while, brushing his hair out of his face the moment he could catch his breath. Those eyes looked so deeply into hers as the corners of his mouth pulled into a smile.

“Dead…I could ask the same of you, couldn’t i-..?”

Brown hues blink as she tilts her head to the side, examining the man closely, watching his movements and following the drop of the delicate flower to the floor.

Pain, hidden beneath the surface, time was a monster to those who were forced back into its grip, twisting and changing them for whatever purpose it had in mind.

Why would this man be any different?

“Oh my, my, my......can’t you see? I very much am!”

There he was, purple eyes so focused on her face now that the intensity could have been a blade cutting through her smaller frame. His voice was so bouncy and full of life and excitement....but also utterly cold.

So....very cold.

!!!!!!!

“...Shouldn’t you be dead, my dearest of dears~? Last I saw you, it vas a goodbye zhat no man could ever take back.”

There was a glint to his eyes before he turned his back to her, sniffing a Firelily delicately before....dropping it to the floor below.

“Last I checked....zhe dead schtayed zhat vay. Unless....somevone is messing vith ‘fate’ once more? My, my, my.....vouldn’t zhat be a most interesting tvist of events~? Our lost little bird, tweet tweet! Finally returning years after zhe var, only to find.....zhat nothing remains after times tainted touch has caressed it. No no! In fact...”

The painful smile of a man who had abandoned all he was had spread wide across his features.

"You'll make a fine apprentice."

"Give in, you don't belong with them."

"You cannot deny evil, its your calling."

"Doesn't being bad feel so much better than pretending?"

"Don't worry, after this you'll never want to betray us anyways."

"This will change your mind about being so good..."

"I'll never join you!"

"I can't stay with them, they think I'm evil now."

"If I pledge myself to you will you let the others go?"

"...I belong to you now."

"What can I say? Being evil is just too much fun."

“You hurt me so, Herr Lowell! I’ve done nozhing do deserve such…aggression…alzhough I must admit, it does make things more……….interesting, doesn’t it?”

Letting his gloved hand twist the bit of hair that fell down so delicately beside his jaw, Yeager’s gaze darkened. It was smart of Yuri to be so hesitant around him, and to hold those eyes so filled with disdain. Certainly Yeager had earned something of it from the way the young man was acting…but the monster didn’t care to think more on it. 

Standing before him now was a source of life, a delicious drink to satisfy that thirst that never died down…and something fun to play with, all wrapped up in one delectable package! Now to just reel the poor young man in and finish the job.
