[A quiet, almost distracted murmur of someone who doesn't realize he's speaking aloud, accompanied by quiet clinks, the sounds of drawers opening and closing, and something that might be a file rasping on metal.]One, two, three... I need more gunpowder. New shells. Should investigate gloves that make handling silver less problematic. Ironic to make

Do you~ know Pup too?

[dark_butler]

He is my familiar. Do I know this one? I don't think I do. She must be another of Pup's many friends. How fearsome can my familiar truly be when he insists on befriending the majority of the City?

[dreamsofnoah]

No you don't. I'm new here.

Pup's very sweet. I like him.

[dark_butler]

Another new one to come and go. Are you alone here or do you have people from home? And are you, by chance, the new friends who will play the squirrel game with him?

[dreamsofnoah]

Some of my family is here. And other acquaintances.

That's me~. He was very happy to find someone who'd play it with him.

[dark_butler]

It seems you aren't cursed, which puts you at an advantage. I dislike giving others the advantage like this. I should end this conversation before I say something I will regret, not that I know what I would regret when I have Tony to ensure that I regret every word from my mouth or fingers and do please pardon me, I am not ordinarily so prone to such verbal diarrhea. Nor to such phrases as "verbal diarrhea" how uncouth.

[dreamsofnoah]

Not fun like the blood curse, is it? But I found out some things I wouldn't have otherwise.

We can talk when you're not-cursed. &hearts

May I play with Pup again?

[dark_butler]

Ah, the blood curse was delicious the day spent home with Alucard and... this is hardly an appropriate train of thought. Tea. I need to restock the tea before it runs out. I want to find some of the jasmine with the flowers that unfold when hot water is poured over them.

Yes, you may play with Pup again.

[dreamsofnoah]

I'll leave you alone for now.

Thank you.
