It's a shame winter doesn't last longer. I would like to see more snow, don't you think, mom?

[Merem and Ciel are taking a walk in the park, enjoying the warm weather like a normal family. Keywords there on normal. Unfortunately, there's an interloper here in the form of Arcueid, the Princess of the True Ancestors.]

IDIOT NUN!!

IF ANYONE WANTED TO SAY ANYTHING TO ARC DIRECTLY, here's the thread for it.

[Though she looks pretty frustrated with the current situation...but it's simply two monsters standing around a corpse at this point.]

[lunawolves10th]

I thought you were her friend, Arcueid. Why did you allow that odious little creature to do this to her?

[makemebreakfast]

It's just Ciel.

It's not like she can be killed outside of Mayfield, either...at least not that easily.

[lunawolves10th]

What do you mean?

[makemebreakfast]

She's hard to kill.

I expected a fight and got disappointed. The drone is nothing but a shell, a ghost, an image without the person. It doesn't matter.

[lunawolves10th]

That I can attest to. She fought me evenly at full capacity, and managed to give as good as she got. We were both nursing broken bones for a while.

[He stares at the beheaded corpse.]

Still, her form, her vessel should be treated with more dignity than -that-. Even we Legiones Astartes burn both our fallen foes and brothers.

[makemebreakfast]

It's not her form, it'll be her form when she's back in it.

I doubt she would even care. The worst of it would be a lecture about doing that in public for the both of us...well, it would be if she weren't an idiot.

I doubt she'll say a word to me.

[lunawolves10th]

I cannot understand any of this.

[He looks away.]

[makemebreakfast]

You must be from a pretty weird world.

[Arcueid seems to suddenly realize something.]

You said you fought with her, and it was even with you?

[lunawolves10th]

Yes. [He blinks.]

Is that strange?

[makemebreakfast]

Yea, kind of.

She must have been holding back.

[lunawolves10th]

Only as much as I was. Were either of us to go further than we did we would have killed one another.

[Did Arc just sting his pride as a warrior a bit? Possibly. But he's also pretty sure she doesn't understand just how tough an Adeptus Astartes is.]

[makemebreakfast]

Trust me, she was holding back.

Considering how much you seem to value her I hope she never has cause to go at you for real.

[lunawolves10th]

She could not break my armor.

And I had a hard time striking her, but we both managed to eventually hurt each other pretty badly.

[He just looks phlegmatic and thoughtful now, apparently concentrating on something other than her sprawled, headless corpse.]

I value her a great deal.

[He frowns.] I wonder if that is strange.

[makemebreakfast]

I could demonstrate, but it's going to require you realizing that I'm not going to try to hurt you if you let me do it.

[lunawolves10th]

Demonstrate what?
