LIX.

[dark_butler]

I am feeling myself again. Or at least, I am feeling like an undead version of myself again. In either case, it pleases me to wear this familiar face once more. I earned these wrinkles and I wear them comfortably. Although as a vampire, the old aches and pains that I'd grown accustomed to are nothing but memories

I kind of wonder what I would look like if I actually looked my age. Hopefully I would have aged as well as you did.

[dark_butler]

My dear, you would be beautiful at any age.

[just_rayne]

Dear? Now I do believe that is the first time you've used that term with me. Aww, how sweet you are even sounding your age. I do believe I like that form very much.

[dark_butler]

I have noticed that each form carries with it quirks. I always was an impetuous youth, for instance.

[caged_song]

I'm g-glad you're f-feeling more like yourself a-again...W-Walter...

[dark_butler]

That's kind of you. And how are you feeling?

[caged_song]

I'm j-just a bit tired b-but I'm fine...

I...I think I might go sleep a bit more though...I just f-feel a bit weak...

[dark_butler]

May I ask why? Pardon my asking, but what happened?

[one_of_heaven]

...the baby is calling you 'great-grandsire'.

[dark_butler]

That will suffice. I never had children of my own after all, let alone grandchildren.

[one_of_heaven]

Ah. Domesticated, I take it. Tell me, is it old age, or a straining interval of sheer and utter submission ~ ? A spine can only bear so many courtesies, after all.

[dark_butler]

Were you truly courteous, you might find that a spine can be strengthened by such things.

If what they say about old dogs and new tricks is true, however, I will be unable to teach you that lesson.

[kagura_theboar]

So this is your true face Walter?

[dark_butler]

As much as I can be said to have a true face, yes, Kagura, this is it. I was nearly seventy when I was turned - every line and wrinkle a mark I wore proudly.

[kagura_theboar]

...I'm so sorry...
Well getting older is apart of life so I can certainly understand your sentiments.

[ooc; Strike deleted. Her apology is more or less directed to the fact tht he was turned btw.]

[dark_butler]

A person in my profession rarely lives to an honorable retirement as I did. Pride is ever my failing, but I still feel justified in keeping my head on my neck for as long as I did.

Dornez-san, I just came into Sohma-san's room after I heard a crash...She's collapsed...I noticed her computer was open to your journal.

I'm not sure what is wrong with her...but I feel she is in pain.

Private to Saki: Sealed

[dark_butler]

She said she needed something, but did not complete the thought.

Should I find a healer for her?

Private to Walter: Sealed

[apsychicofsorts]

...I'm not having much luck waking her perhaps she does need a healer...She is beyond my help...an outside force...pain...unnatural...

[ooc; Strikeout deleted cause she doesn't entirely trust Walter. ]

Private to Saki: Sealed

[dark_butler]

I will see what I can do to find someone. It would be inappropriate for me to go there.
