If your trying to hide this tragedy from us by pretending to be not in jail just to calm us down 💔💔 I’ll always be here for you I’ll even hire Saul goodman for you just to give you back freedom once again. OR BETTER I will be your lawyer, I’m very qualified and very very professional at being a lawyer, I broke out my friend from jail on monopoly, I EVEN PLAYED ACE ATTORNEY!!!

P.s I’ll try to stick through your favourite books and your fathers diary through the speaking glass somehow! ILL FIND A WAY!!

"Quit exaggerating, Livestock. This is no tragedy nor is it a cause for riot. The last thing I want is for my prey to worry for their master. I've never once gone to jail and I never will. Now, I haven't the slightest clue who this Saul Goodman character is, but calling anyone for help would be highly unnecessary. And somehow I doubt your expertise with this so-called 'Ace Attorney' and 'Monopoly' game will benefit you in a case like this. Just having you at my side gives me hope, which is a sentence I never thought I'd be saying throughout my long-lived years... So, thank you for that. We can read the books in my study to pass the time until this unfortunate incident passes over—but poke your nose where it doesn't belong and I can assure you I'll poke my fangs where they should never go."

*yanks out knives and ropes*

We will just yank you outta here and ruin this place!

"Hand one of those knives to me, Sei. I'm more skilled with a blade than I look, you know. Those who have imprisoned me in this void don't stand a chance once we've allied together, I can assure you of this. If I must fight for my freedom again, then so be it..."

Amaya stood in shock over the events from yesterday. “Huh… to think you too are in the shadows. You really are in a pickle, Ruki.” she muttered to herself as she stepped towards Ruki and sat next to him, just a few inches away so they wouldn’t touch.

“Well to be fair, me and my sisters are residing somewhere else to wait for things to clear up on our end.” Amaya pondered, a finger pressed to her lips.

Fumbling with her bag, Amaya carefully withdrew two books covered in a plastic bag. “So while we wait for the day of retribution for both of us how about I read with you? Here, this one is called Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa, it’s really nice.”

It was dark but you could still see a faint outline of a moth as Amaya let out a small huff out her lips, yet it disappeared just as quickly. “Let’s hope that this is merely temporary and that this shadow can be lifted before Christmas.” Amaya smiled, waving a poetry book in her hands, showing the book she’s going to read.

It was called ‘The witch doesn’t burn in this one’ by Amanda Lovelace.

“You…” the Vampire began, somewhat surprised to see that he wasn’t alone, “you’re here as well, I see. Well, I suppose there are worse people I could be stuck with. Only a joke, of course. As eccentric as you are, I’m pleased to see you, Amaya. Though I can’t possibly think of why we would be exiled to some umbral and dreary place such as this.” 

For a moment, he nearly had to stifle a chuckle seeing that Amaya learned her lesson from last time and maintained a respectable distance. The eldest Mukami certainly despised sudden touch, but he abhorred containment even more than any unsolicited contact. A way to escape this place occupied all his thoughts, from leaving unscathed to ensuring the safety of the pureblood before him. 

“Ah, that’s right. My brothers must be worried for my whereabouts right about now… How troublesome. I can only assume your sisters might be rather indifferent. Vampires like the Sakamakis were never known for their strong family bonds, after all. That’s where my brothers and I excel above the rest,” he smirked, glancing down at the rummaging of her bag. “At least you came prepared. Sweet Bean Paste—I can’t say I’ve read it, but I’ve certainly heard of it. It looks like I’m in for a treat.”

Genuine enthusiasm amidst the flood of worry suffused his chest as Amaya revealed the book to him. Given the darkness that shrouded them, Ruki internally thanked his supernatural sight. Reading in the shadows, albeit somewhat of a hindrance, wouldn’t have any dire effects on his eyes.

“Christmas…? That’s far too long from here. No, I intend to escape before Halloween if we’re discussing frivolous human traditions. We haven’t the time to waste…” he sighed indignantly. “Good grief… You are awfully patient and understanding about this, Amaya. Doesn’t it upset you? As eager as I am to read a new book if it’ll help us while away the time, I can’t just sit by and allow this to happen to us. It’s mortifying. In any case, the book you’re holding seems quite interesting. If we’re still confined here by the time we finish, I’d like to trade books with you once I’m done with Sukegawa’s work.”

“What an understatement towards the greatest blood festival you’ve yet to see. It shall rain carnage by the time I’m through with those who dare oppose a Vampire like me.”

I'm sure you won't be in jail after that Ruki!

"...!"

Seeing the young child wear war paint on his face holding a sign in support of his freedom warmed the Vampire's heart more than he wanted to admit. For a moment, Ruki was absolutely speechless. That is, until he gathered the boy in his arms and embraced him.

"How thoughtful of you, Kauze... We'll get out of here together."

[Admin!Danny: Ok sorry HAHAHRJJF BUT RUKI, HOLD ON THERE, WE GON GET U OUT 🫵😭🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ #freerooks2022]

"Shut up, Mystic. Another word out of you and I'll have you in chains. Perhaps it's time for my dear Poochie to be imprisoned in his little doghouse, collared and leashed so that he's always ready for me."
