Confession II (Phone)

[shotapope]

[It had been hard for Alessandro since he awoke in Mayfield, especially hard after her found himself erased, especially during the holidays.... But if it was one thing Alessandro could do, it was move on rather well. Lots of things hit him hard, but he always managed to move on somehow, perhaps it was a special skill in denial, or perhaps it was

[kinships]

I don't see why anyone would object to that.

[His voice is warm and calm, remembering how skittish the older boy had been when they met.]

I'm sure many people would find solace in faith at a time like this.

[shotapope]

I c-can only hope it will h-help console them. I w-was worried I might i-interfere with s-someone's plans, but as l-long as people are i-interested and say it's alright... I w-will do what I can.

[kinships]

I'm sure you're not stepping on anyone's plans, and Miss Ciel would be grateful for the help with Mass.

[shotapope]

P-perhaps I should m-meet with this C-Ciel.

[kinships]

I think that would be a good idea, she's very friendly, she's a nun at the church.

[shotapope]

Th-then I will go see S-Sister Ciel as s-soon as possible.

[kinships]

Would you like some company for the walk?

[He doesn't want the other boy fainting at his own shadow on the way.]

[shotapope]

I-if you would be s-so kind.

[It would be easier to talk to someone he doesn't know with someone he's familiar with too.]

[kinships]

Of course, just give me a few minutes and I'll be right there.

[shotapope]

Alright.

[kinships]

[And sure enough, about ten minutes later, Cain is arriving on the doorstep and knocking politely.]

[shotapope]

[And not soon after Alessandro is poking his head out, he is dressed in his personal civilian clothes which he recently got back. Which meant an Edwardian style three piece suit.]

Th-thank you.

[kinships]

[Cain is just in the clothes Mayfield provides for children out of school hours, beaming up at the older boy.]

What are friends for?

[shotapope]

[He just wanted to wear something familiar that was actually his for a change.]

S-still, I'm v-very grateful for all your h-help.

[kinships]

Any friend of Abel's is a friend of mine.

[He seems casual enough, but there's a hint of sharp interest in his eyes. HOW DO YOU KNOW HIS BRO, SCARED TEENAGER?!]

[shotapope]

[All he had to do was ask and he would explain as best he could.]

Th-then you must have a l-lot of friends. He s-seems to m-meet people very easily.

[How does he do it? How can he just talk to people so effortlessly?]
