Entertainment
The boy was many things.
He was a nuisance. When he opened his mouth, he spouted musings far too nonsensical to bear. Which no-one rarely did. He bled prettily too, particularly after these musings had foiled his chance of freedom outside the apartment.
He was a lazy killer, no finesse nor measure. He tolerated Angelus’ and Drusilla’s wicked games eagerly. He tirelessly sought revenge, but invariably triumphed in drama rather than success.
He was a snob, an attention-seeker, a weakened poet who was nobody’s muse.
But despite all that, there were some things he excelled at. Which Darla always enjoyed.
***
Spectacle
His mistress was fickle. She was power-hungry and obsessed. He rarely set about to offend on purpose but, regardless of her whim, she always found fault. She was exacting and resolute and diligent in pain.
She could sear him with a merciless look in one moment; then inspire him to poetry for her irradiant beauty the next.
She was delightful and delicious and very, very dangerous. She was nobody’s fool, absolutely least of all his.
But when the mood struck Darla, or more specifically he became the mood’s delight, William let his fancy run wild and always aimed to please.
