Eh?

A red haired teen wanders into view he’s not all that tall he’s toned under his clothing a fine swimmers body and he carries himself in such away that screams confidence in his appearance and ‘skills’ whatever skills a seventeen year old could have. For any one slightly touched, infected, magic, or inhuman the youth wasn’t human and was probably

"Bloody Hellfire."

You've gone and reminded Mr. Todd of Lucy. This won't end well.

"Soory?" The youth shrugged toeing the ground.

[barberdemon]

"I had the opposite happen, is all. Me wife died in my arms, and all me own bloody fault."

[steve_tyrant_cv]

"That's harsh eh? But in the end she might end up dead by my hand." He sighed his shoulders sank.

[barberdemon]

"That's what happened to me."

[steve_tyrant_cv]

"Ever wonder if the whole star crossed lovers thing ever really works?" He looked to the man with the wild hair, "If it doesn't hurt too much what happened?"

[barberdemon]

"It's a long story, but . . .

"I was sent to prison for fifteen years on a false charge. When I came home I found that she's been raped, and had taken poison. But it hadn't killed her, even though I thought it had. She'd gone insane, become a homeless begger.

"I went mad myself, you see. Fifteen years waiting to see my family again, and I had none left. I killed a lot of people, and one of them was a mad begger woman who wandered into my shop one day, babbling about witches and demons."

He laughs bitterly. "Love is the worst punishment ever sent to bedevil our lives."

Steve looked at the man tipping his head so his eyes were clear of hair. "Fifteen years. I think I lost myself after three locked up." He was starting to almost 'like' the man maybe he'd hang around the barber for a while. He was at least interesting. "Love kills...slowly..."

[barberdemon]

"Indeed it does.

"I was mad as a bloody hatter by the end. I even became fond of Mrs. Lovett's pies."

[steve_tyrant_cv]

"Let me guess her cooking could kill rats eh?" He shook his head chuckling.

[barberdemon]

"She was my accomplice. They were mincemeat pies.

"Got it?"

[steve_tyrant_cv]

"Sir you are brilliant." He had to admire the way leftovers were handled.

[barberdemon]

"Why thank you.

"She was actually quite a good cook, once she got some proper meat."

[steve_tyrant_cv]

"The key to all good food is the ingredients." He was trying to place when the barber was from history was not his best subject but he was going to guess that it was one of the times that meat and money was hard to come by. "At least that's what my mother used to say."

[barberdemon]

"Well, the alternative at the time was cat meat." He sighs. "Bloody East End for you, eh?"

[steve_tyrant_cv]

"Rough times." He said carefully he'd eaten things that he didn't care to think about in Rockfort. "But you don't have to worry about that now."
