[ Shit. Day one, settling in. Day two, Holy War? No thank you. No. Thank you. There's a lot that Grell's willing to put up with, sure-she'd be the first to admit that she's quite the masochist-but power outages, freezing cold temperatures and citywide invasion? Please. A lady has her limits, and Grell reached hers when she fell arse over tits heels

[ Have one very distraught girl who just lost a very close friend staring incredulously into the video feed. ]

The ending of a life is poetry? How can you say that?!

v i d e o ★

[maneating]

Very, very easily, as a matter of fact! The last breath, the slowing heart, the sweet fluttering of an unsteady pulse ...

[ A misty glaze passes over golden eyes. ]

-How could it be anything but poetry?

[agreavate]

You make it sound like you've got experience watching or listening for those things. [ Chie looks just a little sick. Not scared, just disgusted. ] It's not poetry. Poetry is supposed to be beautiful, and it isn't beautiful when people die.

v i d e o ★ So sorry about the lateness!

[maneating]

Ha-a? So what if I do, hm? Death is beautiful-death is romance and tragedy stitched together with perfect pain. What more could a girl ask for!

There's nothing poetic about it.

[There's some sort of edge to her voice, but it's difficult to place.

Perhaps not to you, but then again ...

[ Have a playful little giggle. ]

Human girls never understand anything worth knowing ★

[nobrassknuckles]

I understand plenty. I’ve seen enough death in my life to know there’s nothing glamorous about it.

[There’s a disappointed sigh coming from Estelle after hearing that. How…how could someone compare death to poetry and romance? Death is a terrible thing, as she just witnessed one of her friends dying in front of her no thanks to her carelessness, but it also reminds her of back in her world where she was not only forced to kill Belius because of her thoughtlessness, but that ended up with the Don committing seppuku for not being there for the Entelexeia. Honestly, she didn’t get it, but from her travels, she knew that some people were perhaps just a little twisted…]

How…how could you say such a thing? Death isn’t anything like that. It’s a terrible thing! [Her voice is soft, but there is a little bit of a bite to it.]

[ Unfortunately for Estelle, Grell's going to brush her comments off with a flowery little wave before placing a fingertip against her smiling lips. ]

Ha-a? And what would a precious baby girl like you know about such things, hm?

v i d e o ★

[remedyings]

[Estelle honestly doesn’t take that mocking tone all too well, and the fact that her words were seemingly brushed off only made to offend her.]

I…I just lost one of my close friends here in this war. It’s terrible. It’s a terrible feeling! And back in my world, I witnessed such tragedy.

[It's that lunatic from the other day ... Instead of looking embarrassed this time, though, he just looks a bit scowly.]

You're really bitching about fucking talent?

[maneating]

There's no need to cuss, you urchin!

[ She wags a slender finger in the direction of the camera. ]

-And I'm sure you'll forgive me for pointing out the obvious.

[hemoclaws]

Tch, yeah? What's so obvious about it?

v i d e o ★

[supercilious]

Yes, terribly sorry.

[ he isn't. ]

What happened to your face?

[ Grell shrinks back immediately, her hand coming up to cover her cheek with a soft sound of surprise. Honestly, she thought she'd done a better job of keeping her blemish covered: this is really the last person she'd want to see her looking anything less than perfect.

Tch. Angry bruises. The trade-off for having whiter-than-white skin. You'd think she'd be a little more used to dealing with imperfections by now, what with the constant beatings from Will, but ... ]

N-Nothing! It's hardly important. Besides, I'm almost certain that His Highness has far more pressing matters to concern himself with ★

v i d e o ★

[supercilious]

Not really.

[ not a lot of pressing matters when his kingdom is nowhere near. he looks briefly glum. ]

[ completely ignoring her obvious denial. after all, they've just come out the other side of a battle. and his main concern is. ]

You didn't actually try to fight, did you?

[ a patronizing little chuckle. the impression he's made of her is of delicacy, luxury, refinement. he can hardly imagine she knows the right end of a sword. ]

v i d e o ★ [1/idek he made her mad ♥]

[maneating]

Ha-a? What's that supposed to mean?
