“Hmm…” Matthew hummed as he took in Aleixo’s words. “You should let the fire out more often. It’s refreshing,” he said, noting that the man was still angry but also trying to keep a lid on it. “Yes, I happen to enjoy doing a bit of scolding,” the fallen angel grinned. It all came down to making sure others knew who was in charge and that they had jobs that needed to be done well. 

“Why? Is your slave giving you problems?” he asked. “Are the masters?” They may have worked together for quite some time, but the way Matthew handled matters was very different to Aleixo.

“I couldn’t tell after all the years I’ve known you.”  Aleixo replied with a touch of sarcasm even as he gave Matthew a smile.  For the phoenix’s part, his scolding usually was just a stern talking to, but things had been building for awhile now and his mild mannered facade was beginning to crack underneath it.  “No, Regulus is good.  He always is.  It was just watching the fights with him.  I shouldn’t have.”  He shook his head, frowning.  “And Raphael just...reminded me of something earlier this week.  It’s not important, I’ll deal with it.”  Poorly, apparently.

“Deimos?  What are you doing up here?”  Though Aleixo had only met the other man a few times down in the Undercroft before now, he was fairly sure that he hadn’t been claimed and shouldn’t be walking around without some company.  Not that it was all that uncommon to see a slave give the guards the slip every now and then -- from what he’d heard, Deimos was well known for doing it.  He frowned and looked him up and down a moment.  “I should probably technically take you back.”

iah-yang​:

Iah wasn’t really certain what he was looking for. All he knew was that he had to get out of his room. With the fights over, he didn’t have much else to do and his body still hurt from the beating he had taken. The vampire sighed, running a hand through his hair as he walked. Just moving through the halls was rather peaceful and allowed him to clear his head. Who had he been fighting for anyway? While he knew the answer, he refused to admit very much.

After about a half hour, the sound of shouting drew his attention and he made his way closer, curious. In front of him, he could see a man yelling at another. Rather than interrupt, he listened and waited. Once the poor person being screamed at had gone, he stepped forward.

“It certainly appears that way,” Iah mused. “What prompted all of that?”

There was a brief flash of embarrassment at having been caught losing his temper with someone, though they hadn’t exactly been anywhere private.  The phoenix shook his head and crossed his arms, watching for a moment as the other staff member scurried off.  Maybe he’d been a little harsh.  “It’s just been an eventful couple of weeks.”  He replied, shaking his head as he turned to look at the other man.  “I shouldn’t have taken it out on him.”

king-marcus-cove​:

   Marcus had been watching from a distance and had come to know the male. He had never seen the other like this before, angry and stressed and so, he decided to do something and help them. After a few moments, Marcus slowly walked toward Alexio and said in a very soft voice. “You really do need. How about you take a break for the rest of the day and come with me?” he said walking closer to them. 

  Marcus was good at helping on stress and if their levels were too bad, he had a potion and medicine that helped one relax but he only used it when nothing else worked. Marcus remembered a place he found that would be a good to help them just breathe and leave their fears behind. 

Aleixo sighed, trying to get his temper under control, though yelling at the other man had admittedly helped a little bit.  He turned slightly to look at Marcus and offered the master a small, somewhat strained smile before the butler nodded.  “Yes, that’s probably a good idea.”  It would be good to just take the day to clear his head and try to relax, though that seemed almost impossible.

unapologetictor​:

Tor looks traumatized as much as that poor guy does. That never happened before, at least not when he’s working here. 

The picture in front of him was― terrifying. Aleixo seems like that person who could take care of anything in ease, but now he lost his cool. He’s so loud he could ripping one’s eardrums apart. The phoenix looks like he could burst in flame any time and burn the shit out of that poor guy into ashes, if phoenix could even do that.

“Hey, what happened?” Tor gives Aleixo a pat on his back, trying to clam him down. Don’t know if he’s helping or worsening the situation but he just wanted to help. He used to be that person who’s like gasoline always ready to get in flame but now he got a lot cooler, so he understands how does uncontrollably anger leading feels like. “Drink this.” He fetched the guy some gin. Tor drinks a lot when he’s like this and most of the time it helps.

Aleixo tensed for a moment when Tor patted him on the back, the phoenix’s jaw clenching as he watched the staff member he’d been yelling at take off.  It was obvious that the butler was still angry, but he was doing his best to reel it in.  Despite feeling justified for losing his temper, it was certain that he’d go and apologize to the other man once his mood had lightened a bit.  “Just him being incompetent at his job.  Again.”  Aleixo sighed, rubbing at his temples before he glanced down at the drink offered to him.  “What’s that?”

hell-fyres​:

Matthew rarely saw Aleixo lose it the way he was currently yelling at one of the castle’s servants and it truly was a sight to behold. Phoenixes were fiery creatures after all and one would have expected a temperament to go with it, but Aleixo seemed to be the complete opposite. Until this moment, of course. 

He stood there staring for some time, taking it all in with a smirk on his face which he gladly turned on his friend when the man turned around. 

“I’d say,” Matthew answered with a chuckle as he took those few steps to close the distance between them. With a flick of his hand, he sent the cowering servant away before turning his attention back on his friend. “Well, wasn’t that freeing?” he asked just to be a bit annoying, though it was also a genuine question. “What have you been up to, Aleixo? Why so grumpy?”

It really shouldn’t have come as a surprise that Matthew had witnessed the whole thing, considering the man had also witnessed his slight breakdown at the bar that one day.  The phoenix’s expression shifted slightly and he huffed, watching as the servant quickly put some distance between them.  He’d feel bad about it later but for now it gave the phoenix some strange sense of satisfaction.  At least he wasn’t the one scampering away this time.

“I guess.  It’s been awhile.”  Aleixo muttered before turning his full attention to Matthew with a faint smile.  It was clear he was still angry, but it would pass.  “Just...a lot.  Things that I’m, once again, handling poorly.  You seem to enjoy it, at least.”

1x01 // 1x06

[aleixo-pallis]

It was a very rare thing for anyone in the castle to see the normally very collected, very calm butler in a bad mood and yet there he stood, practically yelling at one of the staff who worked underneath him.  What they’d done actually wasn’t even that bad -- they’d simply forgotten to clean a master’s suite -- but the phoenix was ripping them a new one, gesticulating wildly, his expression bordering on stormy.

The past week or so had just been stressful.  Not only had Aleixo had to watch both Regulus and Manny fight, it had been that time of the year where Raphael seemed to enjoy reminding him of one of the worst days of his life.  Watching one of his best friends practically being torn apart in front of him and stitched back together wrong.  He’d likely feel bad about losing his temper later but, right then, someone had to be the one he took his panic and fear and anger out on and it just happened to be the poor guy in front of him.

Aleixo sent them off with an impatient, angry shove to the shoulder and huffed, scrubbing a hand over his face.  “God, I think I need a vacation...”

mannythejaguar​:

This year’s tournament featured plenty of newcomers, some of them being vampires. Wanting to prepare for going up against stronger opponents, Manny asked Aleixo to spar with him. He figured if he could hold his own against a phoenix, why couldn’t he do so against a demon or a councilman. He smirked, watching the flame in the other’s hand as he seamlessly shifted into jaguar form. “That’s all right, pretty bird, just as long as you give me a little bit of a challenge.” 

Aleixo wouldn’t actually throw the ball of flame at Manny -- at least not with the intent to hit him.  Maybe just to put him on his guard a little bit, but for now, the phoenix just smiled slightly.  “I’ll do my best.  Just try to not rough me up too much.”  He teased, watching the jaguar closely as he took a small step to the right.  Aleixo didn’t plan on making the first move, wanting to get a feel for how the other moved and fought before he started any real attack of his own.

Chiron and Ceres

Chiron - What’s your character’s deepest wound?

Aleixo’s been through a lot of messed up things ever since he became a slave.  It’s hard for him to pinpoint just what the worst thing could be.

Ceres - How does your character act in grief?

He tends to get very quiet and withdrawn, often locking himself up since he doesn’t want to let others see him in the midst of that grief.

[aleixo-pallis]

Virgo, Jupiter, 11th House

Virgo - How neat is your character?

Very neat, almost obsessively so.

Jupiter - Is your character someone generous?

Yes.  And Aleixo’s probably a little too generous for his own good.

11th House - Does your character have a lot of friends? Why or why not?

Although Aleixo is very open and friendly with others, he doesn’t have that many friends.  Mostly because, deep down, he really doesn’t trust anyone.  He has maybe a handful of people that he really considers friends.

[aleixo-pallis]

Lilth

Lilth - What’s your character’s dark side like?

It takes a lot for Aleixo to push aside his well mannered and calm attitude.  The only thing that really brings that out is when someone he cares about is threatened or hurt -- though, even then, he usually offers himself in their place.  If he’s in a bad mood already or the person he cares about is badly hurt, Aleixo gets angry and lashes out, kicking and hitting until he’s forced to stop.

[aleixo-pallis]

Uranus

Uranus - How creative is your character and in what areas?

Pretty creative, mostly with drawing and writing.  Those are hobbies that Aleixo picked up shortly after arriving in Krovs on his downtime.  Both of which he keeps to himself and really doesn’t share with anyone else.

Reminder || Raph & Aleixo

Raphael had been in his office when his yearly reminder alert went off on his phone. He smiled cruelly to himself, an evil glint shining in his dark eyes. How could he forget this wonderful day. He wondered if a certain butler remembered as well. It’d only been about twenty years ago with yearly reminders. He texted Aleixo to meet him in his suite in ten and immediately sprinted back home to prepare. 

The councilman had a certain video that he kept in a safe spot. Once he found it, he popped it into the VCR he saved for this very special occasion, ready to be played whenever his guest of honor arrived. He left the door to his suite open while he waited for the phoenix to come right in and he thankfully didn’t need to wait very long. When Aleixo came in, Raph was right up in his space, lips against his ear. “Hello, fire bird,” he all but purred, “Do you remember what day it is?” 

@aleixo-pallis​

Aleixo had known exactly what day it was, mostly because he’d been dreading the thing for nearly the entire month.  Besides, it was going on twenty years now that this...tradition or whatever it was had started.  A tradition that the phoenix very much hated considering it meant reliving one of his worst moments with the master.  Receiving the text had brought on that familiar feeling of unease and discomfort and Aleixo briefly considered sending back something like ‘thank you but no I’ll pass this year.  No need for a reminder, really’.

Only he didn’t.  Raphael was a very clever, very intimidating man and the butler had learned over time with him that it was better to just do whatever he wanted.

Still, he arrived maybe a little later than he’d been requested -- fifteen minutes instead of ten -- and Aleixo cringed a bit when Raphael got right up into his space.  He pressed his lips together at the question, doing his best to ignore the way his hands had begun to shake.  “It’s a bit hard to forget.”  Aleixo mumbled, dropping his usual ‘sir’ at the end.
