Ever ★ Always

demons don't make promises.

we just closed the shop.

ok. i'll be right there.

i hate fish.

you bugs better run before i bite your heads off!

i'm ready.

you've done enough work.

i know how to help you now.

just shut up.

i can't live like this.

as soon as this war is over, i shall return.

wait a second, you're all gonna eat while i do all the work?

i'm fatter than ever, yet the wind blows right through me.

it's gorgeous!

i'll look forward to your return, big boy.

don't come in here.

i'm sick of being treated like some timid little old lady.

i feel terrible, like there's a weight on my chest.

you see? your moustache scares all the girls.

i brought you some warm milk. want a sip?

do you know how hard it is to do things when you're old?

i can't believe it's come to this.

i've never once been beautiful in my entire life!

tell me what's happening.

hey, i'm over here.

i was in big trouble back there.

i'd appreciate it if you didn't torment my friend.

are you hurt?

i actually like living here.

i've got a bad cold, i don't want you to catch it.

i'm sure you have some kind of spell on you.

i want to know what you want.

can you lead me to him?

i'm afraid you will have to leave now.

that is not what i meant when i asked for a place to stay.

now whatever you do, don't look down.

how did you get to be so kind?

i never should have let her in here.

all our fish were caught fresh this morning.

don't worry. he only preys on pretty girls.

i'm just setting things up so that all of you can live a comfortable life.

i see no point in living if i can't be beautiful.

you're so eloquent today.

be gentle with me, please.

that's so strange.

what possessed you to let them in the house?

if you'd like to do me one more favor...

thank goodness you're here!

you girls are so mean.

i have this weird feeling that you're going to leave.

you ok? i mean, you smell terrible.

don't hold it against them, they're actually not all that bad.

some big help you're gonna be.

you live around here?

don't worry, i can cook.

i can't stand how scared i am.

i searched everywhere for you!

oh, no, i'm not lost.

i just need a glass of water.

you promise to help me if i help you?

leave me alone.

no, he's fine. he's just throwing a tantrum.

you'll forgive me, won't you?

that's good to know.

i know where i am.

i can't remember the last time we had a real breakfast.

i am strictly forbidden to offer such assistance.

what time do you get off?

so, you are going away?

my own kind attacked me today.

he's acting like a big baby.

i can't do this.

we have to try something.

you should go home anyway and tell your king to stop this dumb war.

i can't do it by myself.

let's get a better look.

hey, don't worry. the ring that i gave you will guide you back home.

i've never seen the ocean before! it's beautiful!

it's not funny.

go away! quit following me!

i've had enough of this place!

you've been sighing all day.

here. want some more?

strapping, young men are so difficult to deal with.

you get back here right now!

sometimes he likes to go away for days on end.

i love you. you have to stay.

do i look ok?

need anything else?

i can be of help to you.

you're gonna have a very hard time getting rid of that one.

someone's got a fire going.

i feel so at home.

you are so lucky.

are you in pain?

you were alone?

i was so thrilled to have finally found someone talented enough to replace me.

i have to rest a bit.

are we going for a stroll?

i did what i was told.

i'm not trying to outwit you.

don't you love early morning markets?

i'll stand guard out front.

wait, you can't come up here!

too bad i'm not younger, or i'd lend you a hand.

we can do this, just act natural.

have you ever been in love before?

do you have a kettle?

only idiots believe what they read in the paper.

i've never seen it so close!

it's time to put an end to this idiotic war.

just go inside, go to bed.

he doesn't need your help.

i barely recognize the place.

now i'm too scared to go out!

gross. i feel sick.

didn't i teach you better?

you really want it that badly?

i'm too old to be treated like this!

i don't care if you're a monster.

you must be tired.

hey. looks like a little mouse lost its way.

what a handsome man.

i kind of missed you guys.

it's your life, do something for yourself for once, will you?

do you really want to spend the rest of your life in that hat shop?

what? i can't fly,

thought i'd drop by rather than sit through a dull war meeting.

you're beautiful!

now i'm repulsive.

i could have sworn i locked that door.

what a tacky shop.

i'm afraid the king would find him completely useless.

you are a natural.

i hate potatoes.

i love it when you talk like that.

there's no need to thank me, you don't owe me a thing.

curses are tough.

are you crazy? i can't move

you're killing yourself.

i told you it would collapse.

what a dump.

it looks like your true love is in love with someone else.

how would you like a bucket of cold water in your face?

what do you think?

maybe there's a cabin nearby.

don't look at me.

what if i dump a bucket of water on you?

who are your guests?

let's go, girls.

i think you and i need to have a nice, long, heart-to-heart chat.

you're by far the tackiest thing here.

quit bothering me, i've got a job to do.

i didn't mean to make you wait this long.

it wasn't a dream.

come on in, it's time to eat!

look what you've done to my hair!

you've got quite a nasty spell on you too.

he's gone.

pay up.

there you are, sweetheart. sorry i'm late.

i don't know what's gonna happen, but i'm sure it won't be good.

i'm not taking any orders from you.

i'm gonna take good care of you.

i'd never seen such a gifted student.

are you listening?

i'm tired. make some hot water for my bath.

i am very sorry to hear that.

this charm will guarantee your safe return.

he's such a lazy son,

i'm sick of being stuck out here

it always looks like that.

don't you want to have some bacon and eggs?

what's going on?

what on earth were you up to?

all right. i better get going then.

are you kidding?

it seems everyone in this family's got problems.

how old are you, anyway?

i specifically ordered you not to get carried away!

i've always hated turnips, ever since i was little.

nobody wants to go to war.

she's even cuter when she's scared.

i need some breakfast.

why don't you just give up?

i spent a lot of time here by myself when i was young.

when i think castle, this is not what i picture.

of course he did. he was trying to steal your heart!

i bet he's some kind of demon.

it looks like it's gonna rain.

do you have to keep smoking that?

so. we've got a lot of work to do.

you'd be good at it.

wait for me!

i was looking everywhere for you.

that's my girl.

you need to be more careful.

why did you make me come here if you were coming yourself?

why don't you come out with us this time?

that boy is extremely dangerous.

don't get alarmed, but i'm being followed.

give him a piece of your mind.

i would never work for that witch!

i'm just going to the bakery.

i hope you and your new husband will be very happy.

you look so much older.

if you're a demon, how do i know i can trust you?

i just wanted to make sure that you were doing ok.

that was the most fun i've had in ages.

i got you some new clothes too, but you can open them later.

i missed you.

where are you going?

it's a trap.

if i ever get my hands on that witch, i'm going to wring her fat neck!

where to? i'll be your escort this evening.

i'll just stay in bed all day, so you go on.

you're gonna be fine.

we've got a good lead now.

what did you do?

do you really think i'd let a witch in here?

it's a present for you.

you're being so obedient.

i'm so sorry, but that would be confidential information.

well, the nice thing about being old is you've got nothing much to lose.

what will happen to you?

i better finish this, you go and have fun.

just keep following that light and you should be there before dark.

you're scaring me.

you're in love.

that was really kind.

i had him escort you here.

come on! you should feel sorry for me!

he was so kind to me.

told you we should've stayed put.

i better be going.

he must have been a wizard then.

looks like we have yet another addition to the family.

he's my errand dog.

she keeps staring at me, it's freaking me out.

don't give me that.

it's dangerous out there.

that is one bad curse.

did you hear what happened to that girl?

you obviously don't know what these people are like.

i'm getting angry.

what on earth happened to you?

so then, how are you feeling?

i should really get back to work.

If only you knew what I just dealt with.

A woman never reveals her age.

I wanna write about things that matter, like politics and the environment and foreign affairs, things I'm interested in.

Keep busting your butt. You're gonna get there.

Hey, I got something to cheer you up.

What happens tomorrow night?

You know what I like.

What are you reading, you catching up on your current events?

You know, if you wanna try those out sometime, we should get together.

You finally decided to show up?

Good morning, sunshine.

I'm going back to bed. I have no reason to live.

I'm not gonna let you lose your job on top of everything else.

Where were you?

Oh, this is a good day. This is a good day.

Precious gems aren't exactly my forte.

It's gonna be my pitch, my account, my campaign. This is my baby.

I don't really wanna talk about it, okay?

Why does this always happen to me?

Seriously, I am mystified because it always starts out so well.

You cried? You mean like one glistening tear on your cheek, right?

It was how I felt. I wanted to express myself.

That is both incredibly disgusting and categorically untrue.

Well, I've been working on something that's, kind of, different.

I'm sorry, I wasn't feeling very well.

I can't use my personal life for a story.

I'll keep a diary of it and it will be sort of a dating how-to in reverse.

What are you working on now?

You are never going to pull this off.

You're not gonna burn the apartment down or bite [him/her/them] or anything, are you?

I'm gonna limit myself to doing everything people do wrong in relationships.

What's wrong with that?

What are you doing here? You weren't invited?

Status is the reason to buy diamonds in the first place.

I respect women, all right? And I also listen to women.

I'd like to see you prove that.

Do you think you can make someone fall in love with you by then?

After I win this bet, this pitch is mine.

I was just wondering if you find…

If you'll excuse me, I have a bet to win.

Now do you wanna tell me what's going on?

I'll meet you at the door.

I'm gonna check this one out and see if [he/she/they] the keeper.

I'm doing this for you.

It's not gonna look goofy on me.

You ready to go for a ride, [name]?

What do I think? About the food or you?

Yeah, you can answer some questions for me, actually.

What do you do for a living?

So you think you got me all figured out?

I still got one last question.

Can I get you a cold beer?

Oh, you are such a hussy. You can't hide those lying eyes.

I can practice some self-control, unlike some people I know.

A diamond is a long-term commitment.

Hey, hey, let's not go too fast, okay?

I want you to respect me. And I want your respect.

Oh, you are already falling in love with me.

I'm taking my time. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Do you have an ethical problem with rifling through someone's purse?

Oh, what have we here?

Listen, I had a wonderful time last night.

Denying your subconscious desires is extremely dangerous to your health.

Does that psychobabble really work on anybody?

Well, you know what, I miss you, too.

Why don't we catch a movie or something?

What if something had happened to you?

So I suppose your mind is a complete blank?

You are my family. You're all I've got.

I'm sitting here thinking about how damn beautiful you are.

Maybe we should get you to a hospital.

That's feeling real nice. It's starting to feel a little better.

I hope you brought your appetite. We've got a feast tonight.

Go ahead and pour yourself a glass of wine.

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht.

You have to take it away before I gag.

Do I look like the kind of person who knows the score of a game?

No, no, no, no, no, no! Wait, wait. You're kidding me, right?

Can I see you tomorrow?

Look what I got for us. Look at that. Come on. Come on.

You should try it on, otherwise you don't know if it's gonna fit.

I was just gonna save it for a special occasion.

I've been trying to get a hold of you.

You know what? I'm sorry. No, no, no. I didn't mean it like that.

Please show them to me. I really do wanna see them.

It's the most powerful thing I've ever seen.

I'm telling you, this calls for drastic measures.

Look, I have to think of something before tomorrow.

I think you know what I'm suggesting.

You're not mad, are you, [name]?

Look, this is getting really creepy, all right?

You're acting completely insane. You know that?

I don't know if I can be with somebody who doesn't like animals and thinks I'm a mental person.

Listen, can you forgive me? I don't know what I was thinking.

I am way out of line, [name]. Can you give me another chance?

Haven't you had enough?

Hey, look, I'm willing to do anything.

What do you think about couples therapy?

I love you, [name], but I don't have to like you right now.

If you're really gonna commit to this, you're gonna have to open up.

Is that too soon to be seeing a therapist?

You have a problem.

Look, look, wait a minute. The one night that we even thought about getting close to having sex, [he/she/they] decides they are gonna name my private parts!

Methinks thou doth protesteth too much.

What the hell was that?

I'm not a rage-aholic!

Come here. I've seen this before, and I've seen it many times.

You've got more than enough personalities to keep me completely occupied.

How do you think that makes me feel?

I'm not ashamed of you.

Hey, you wanna talk to the whole family, you can talk to the whole family.

What did [he/she/they] say? I didn't quite hear.

Hello? Hello, where is everybody? Hey!

You heard me. I said bullshit.

I'm your daddy, now.

Everything all right? Is this okay?

I love everything about this house. The noise, the smells.

That's it. You're scaring me.

I want you to come with me. As my partner.

Won't tomorrow be the tenth day we've been seeing each other?

I don't see you at a party for ages.

I'm not in love.

I mean, I've only known [her/him/them] for 10 days. I… You can't… I can't be…

Why don't you come up here and sing your song?

You probably think this song is about you, you're so vain.

Tone-deaf and drunk is not a good combination.

You fooled me to win a bet and you should feel ashamed!

Well, do we want everybody to know your lovemaking is lame?

I really think you have to get over that.

Come on. You're so vain!

This is the worst thing I've ever heard.

You used me to get ahead in your work...you arrogant, backstabbing jerk!

Congratulations. You did it. You just lost [him/her/them].

You can't lose something you never had.

If I could do it over again, I'd do some things differently, you know.

You're doing the right thing.

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

I think you're running away.

finally you admit your true feelings STINKY

You think you're so much better than me, don't you?

Stop looking at me like that.

We're on the same side now, whether you like it or not.

I'd rather die than work with you.

You're the last person I wanted to see today.

Don't you dare act like you care about me now.

I know what you did. I know everything.

You've always been my enemy, but you've never been my equal.

Why does it feel like you're the only one who actually sees me?

I don't trust you. I'll never trust you.

You're insufferable, you know that?

We can't keep doing this—pretending we don't feel it.

I've spent half my life trying to destroy you.

God, I want to hate you so badly right now.

You make me want to scream.

I didn't save you because I like you. I saved you because I had to.

We're not friends. We'll never be friends.

You don't get to be vulnerable with me now, not after everything.

I've imagined killing you a thousand different ways.

Why do you always have to be right?

I hate how much space you take up in my head.

You're my rival, not my—whatever the hell this is.

Don't touch me. Don't you fucking dare.

I know you better than anyone, and that's the worst part.

You've ruined me for anyone else, and I hate you for it.

I'd burn the world down before I let you win.

You look at me like I'm the villain, but you're no hero either.

I can't do this. I can't want you and hate you at the same time.

You're the only person who's ever challenged me.

Stop pretending you don't feel this too.

I've never wanted to throttle someone and hold them this badly before.

We're going to regret this in the morning.

You think you know me? You don't know anything.

I didn't mean to fall for you. This is a mistake.

You make me feel like I'm losing a battle I didn't even know I was fighting.

I swore I'd never let you get close to me.

Why does fighting with you feel better than being happy with anyone else?

You're dangerous. To me. To everything I've built.

I hate that you're the only one who makes me feel alive.

This thing between us—it's toxic. We're toxic.

You've always been the thorn in my side. Now you're under my skin.

You betrayed me once. How do I know you won't do it again?

I've spent years building walls to keep you out.

We're playing with fire here, and we both know it.

You're my competition, my nemesis, my—fuck, I don't even know anymore.

"Didn't anyone ever teach you any manners?"

that was something he couldn't change . despite the fact it's WRONG , he nearly wishes that he HAD been there . how ridiculous is that ?

" it's not as though i could help that . "

he falls back onto that mask of his to hide the discomfort he feels within .

" i'm going to the infirmary so i don't get caught . "

a deal was a deal, at least to kaveh, and to find himself standing in said deal without the ware he had initially been promised brought difficulties. there were blueprints depending on this, and not to mention a pre-existing piece (reached for in a passing moment) that couldn't serve its purpose alone. no, kaveh had needed identical pieces of this particular object, and now – now, indeed.

now he took a sharp inhale, slippery fingers fidgeting around the item that had loosened upon a passing impact. eyes widened and words fumbled completely there he, with a yelp, clutched the item back towards himself. heart raced and a sharp turn followed. he must have looked strange there he stood, arms clutched against himself as a means of protecting the fragile ornament, and certainly not any less strange as he narrowed his eyes at the dark clad man who had bumped into him.

where had he come from? kaveh hadn't received an answer, possibly due to the questions rhetorical nature. naturally he came from the streets, but ... not just sumeru's streets. clearly.

"no, of course you didn't step on me," kaveh breathed, the merchant he had been conversing with turning their attention to another customer. his grip around the ornament loosened, but eyes remained awfully set on the man (was he seriously dressed head to toe in a suit out here?). "i would almost applaud you if you managed to step on me – the streets are quite hectic at this specific hour, are you perhaps lost? you ... don't quite seem to have your bearings? is there a particular location you are interested in? i could try to point you in the direction ... ?"

or at least bump into him in return (he can feel his fingers tingle from the sensation of almost having dropped his item). either way, kaveh settled for being friendly first.

and APPLAUD him ? those white shoes aren't exactly short .

" i appreciate the help . i'm looking for someplace that sells drinks in - bulk . do you think you can help me with that ? "

he PRETENDS not to notice the subtle hint of a question trying to pry into where he comes from . as far as Wriothesley is concerned , his attire should make it pretty apparent . soon enough he'd have to shed the tie and vest in his own attempts to prevent a heat stroke . it's not as though he gets to LEAVE his homeland often and no one thought to WARN him about the HEAT in Sumeru .

"marie may or may not smell the blood, but if he does, he'd assume the smell is coming from an injury." the fragrance of blood is too prominent on them at practically all times regardless, and it's not as if marie is going to reach for lavi's cheek and feel the indentation of kanda's teeth. there's a hint of a challenge in kanda's eyes as he says, "the only one you'd have to lie to is the beansprout."

that's your real punishment, kanda's hint of challenge says. to lie to a liar, to try to explain away how you're playing instead of observing. at the very least, even if walker gets the wrong idea about the two of them, kanda doesn't care about what he thinks. he's pretty sure lavi does. (he's also pretty certain that walker will assume that kanda had bitten lavi in a fit of ferity. even if he comes closer to something that is the truth, he'll turn away from it. lying to himself seems to be his mode of operation. it's why kanda can't stand him.)

(it's why he can't stand lavi too, sometimes.)

the idea of LYING to Allen doesn't sit well with The Junior Bookman , and therein lies the problem that is staring him in the face . the idea of lying to ANY of them doesn't sit well ( yet another problem ) . it seems the ONLY way to play it safe is to simply keep his hand over the mark and make his way to a first - aid kit without running into Walker .

easy .

" ... you're different , Yū . "
