He wondered where the others were. Though, he had a vague idea where Genkaku was if Nagi had once more returned to the manor. Nataku had already scheduled when he would have a talk with the man. It was not so much difficult when he did not have anything to do as it was troublesome. No meals to prepare for awhile. The cleaning had been done and would not need to be worried about for some time. Not so much worry as make sure that everything remained as it should for Johan. Or how he thought that the Senator would like it to be

Was it alright to be at Johan's side? As much as it ever was. Johan certainly felt no gladness at Nataku's company, but such was his constant condition. As usual, he would make the best of it... in his way.

He didn't turn his head at the sound of his name, not surprised at Nataku's appearance and not feigning it, either. It was as though he expected Nataku to be coming down the corridor at that moment-- no, that he had summoned the child, even. And instead of hello, Johan uttered, "The roses have gone dry." The language wasn't accusatory but the tone was; just the faintest edge of disappointment that actually said, You have let the roses go dry.

As he pulled his hand away from them, he allowed his fingers to slip. A thorn caught his index finger and blood immediately seeped from the gash. "Ah," he gasped. "How clumsy of me..."

He remembered what Alucard had said about Johan's demons. Still wondered about them and wondered if he should ask on them. If they would be something that Nataku would be able to help his father with or not. But he still could not find the time that would be best to bring up such a topic. Not so much respecting the Senator's privacy but simply unsure how to word the question in a way that made sense to the both of them

"It's alright, Nataku," Johan replied. Whether he meant it in response to the apology or the offer was left vague while he brought his injured finger to his mouth, pressing it to his tongue. His own blood tasted strange to him. Dull. But the look on Nataku's face made up for it. There didn't need to be any great contortion of his features for the expression to catch Johan's eyes. It was enough that he could get the rise he was looking for. In every person, that varied.

When he pulled the finger from his mouth, blood still welled up at the cut. He examined it, then seemed to dismiss it, but in reality he expected to see Nataku do something about it. Make a fuss in his little way. This foolish child, always scrambling to please. Sometimes it was too much fun, playing with him like this. And Johan knew Alucard enjoyed it too. Naughty Alucard.
