twelfth pact ❖ {my apologies}

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[It's been a while, Plane. Emil appears cautiously, not accompanied by any beasts. Or girlfriends. It's just him. He glances this way and that, as if afraid of being attacked, and then he simply sighs and flumps down where he is, his back against the wall of the old movie theatre.]

Have I changed that much? Maybe I've changed too much...

[He pulls his knees to his chest and rests his forehead on them.]

How am I supposed to save the people in front of me if I can't even save myself?

I'm so pathetic...

[ooc: Itty bitty canon update! Emil has started on the Rosemary quest in order to free Regal. Hooray for ten minute canon bumps. Hope that's okay, Maggie. ♥]

[so here comes Sebastian, swinging his teddy bear]

I wouldn't say that. I think this film theatre is from my time. It's remarkable, isn't it? Would you like to get something to drink? Perhaps you're too young. I'm told that is an issue. It never was for me.

[... teddy bear.

Suddenly Emil feels better. He's not sure why.]

... W-- um. I'm fine, thank you...

[with one final swing, Sebastian pulls Aloysius up into his arms]

Oh, good. The other day there was a sad young woman here. I gave her an Eton Mess. Have you ever had one? It's strawberries and meringue and whipped cream. They're the only reason to attend sports events. I can get you one if you like. What odd clothing you have! I like it.

N-no, I've never had anything like that. [Emil looks from the bear to the strange older boy.] I like to cook though, s-so if I knew how to make it, we could have them here all the time. If... if you wanted. I don't know. [He takes in a deep breath.]

[he frowns to himself, playing with Aloysius's scarf to help him think] I don't think I could tell you how to make it. I make a very strong effort, you see, not to learn anything useful, in case someone ever asks me to do something. But I could get us both one. And you could try from that.

Well... okay.

[Emil smiles nervously, happy for a distraction, however momentary.]

A moment, then. [Sebastian disappears and comes back with two of these (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Etonmess.jpg), with Aloysius tucked under his arm. After judging which has more cream, he hands the one with less to Emil] Here you are!

[ROFLMAO SEBASTIAN]

O-oh, thanks! Wow, this looks fancy...

[He pokes at it experimentally. Oh, but it smells so good...]

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Does it? [Sebastian has already started eating, so---]

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Emil watches Sebastian for a cue on how to dig into it, then begins. A blush from all the sweetness comes to his cheeks. Damn, this is good.]

Oh... wow...

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

[beaming] I thought so, too.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

... I'm definitely going to learn how to make this. [He puts on his determined face.]

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

When you do, you have to share it with me. I want to see how you do! And one for Aloysius too, of course.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Right, right...

[Emil smiles a little awkwardly.]

We can split Aloysius share. He won't mind. Will you, Aloysius? You'll be generous. It's a virtue.
