22 - Jugem - Text (Attempted to be Anon)

[ Perhaps its even more of a hint as to how he's feeling that the anonymous for his texting isn't working that well. Perhaps even more so than his question. ]

What are someways one can... attempt to better their own mood?

[ He remembered to not type like he talks, at least.

He's running out of ideas to try. And doesn't.. really have anyone he feels like he can ask in person right now... ]

Yes. You could also visit me at home during my time off. I would not mind that either.

Is time off now?

[ He doesn't know where you live Angelina. At all. ]

It is. I could give you directions to my house.

[Technically her nephew's house, but an unimportant detail...]

If would like

[ Read as: before he convinces himself that not going is a better idea- ]

[She sends Duke the directions to Ciel's manor.]

You are always a welcome guest.

[ It takes him a little longer than it might if he had actually walked steadily from Ordo to the house - he did have a point where he was severely tempted to turn around and just. stay in a corner until he got hungry.

But he more or less shook that feeling off because here's a quiet knock. ]

[Is waiting for Duke when she hears that knock. She goes right up to open.]

Good evening, Duke. Come on in.

[ Duke kinda just nods a little in reply to that, looking about to tell if he's supposed to shed his shoes or not as he steps in.

Does he look that uncomfortable 'i've been sleeping but its not really resting' and a bit thinner? O o p s. ]

[She smiles gently at him and ushers him inside, shoes and all. And as she looks at him, she does notice he's not looking very well.]

[ And... he's clearly not-quite comfortable with being here. Talk? He's bad enough about that with simple things. This isn't a simple thing and how does he even attempt to start this... ]

... do not know how to attempt to talk about...

[She looks at him thoughtfully for a moment.]

Well, usually I would suggest we have some tea as we talk. Do you feel up to some tea?

... May not drink all of it.

[ But unless that is a huge problem, he'd be fine with it. ]

Oh that would be no problem at all! [She winks at him and guides her to the sitting room.]

Please, take a seat Duke. I will be back in just a moment. [And she disappears through a door that will lead to the kitchen to bring the tea. Honestly, not having a butler... Oh well...]

[ He'll do that, then. just... take a seat. Waver a little while waiting like he's thinking about going back home, but ultimately staying put and studying the floor as if it was the most fascinating thing.

Or maybe not the most fascinating, because there isn't that much interest to the way he's looking at the floor but still. ]

[It doesn't take her long to come back. Honestly, she's afraid Duke will bolt at any moment. He just looks so nervous to be there.]

It is earl grey tea. I hope you like it. [She hands Duke a cup and shows him the sugar and milk.] You may add as much as you want.

[ Because he is.

Duke studies the tea a little, tastes it first, and then studies the milk and sugar. Does he...

He adds a little bit of sugar and tries again. That's good. ]

Is good.

[She nods and sips on her own tea.]

Duke... Is there some way I could help you?

Edited 2012-12-20 00:07 (UTC)

... I... do not.. know..?

[ He's really been trying to help himself and its... really not doing anything for him.

He's starting to wonder if there's something to fix left... ]

How long have you been feeling like this?

.... Curse of faeries and nightmares.

[She looks worriedtly at him.]

Is it still haunting you? [It seems the curse ended a while ago.] The fairies are gone, Duke.

... Was not the faeries but the shape they took and the words they repeated and...

[ It was rapid words for a moment and then he twitches and curls a little more in on him self. Yes, it is bothering him still. ]

[She ponders what she can tell Duke.]

Maybe these words... They will not come to pass...

Already. Reflections on past actions...

[ Maybe he should have come. The hand holding onto the cup of tea starts shaking a little too much for holding it to be the best idea so he puts it down. ]

Own thoughts, repeated in other's voices and hurt more..

[An sighs and gently holds onto Duke's trembling hand. This is more complicated than she thought.]

Duke dear, I know this is hard for you, but you must learn to slowly let go off the past. Not completely, of course, but just enough so you do not have to live in so much pain in the present.
