Week 09

:D A Tales drabble community, you say? Well, that's something I just have to take a shot at. <3

Title: Blueblood
Fandom: Tales of the Abyss
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Guy; the Duke. Pre-game.
Rating: Hmm. Well, T, I guess.
Prompt: Came about from specific lines in #2.
Other: Nothing worth noting, other than it's about 105 words. (Just slightly off, ugh.) And has spoilers.

It creeps in the walls and under the shadows, faint traces of blood against his stage; trickles down the Duke's back in waves, his privilege a cosmic irony. There are no birth records, no graves-but the blood is everywhere, rippling, writhing, in the full spectrum of his memory. He knows nobility, anger, war, and the way the Fabre manor bleeds.

Gailardia Galan Gardios sees the Duke as a man born of blood, and it is blood that will consume him- but, under the guise of his artificial bondage, he will wait for the day the sanguine runs in the name of the Old Hod.
