I just realized this blog is still up and I didn’t delete it like I thought I did, and somehow I STILL got followers Where did all you people come from!?

“Certainly not. What fun would there be without the little mysteries? “ She replied, amused by the idea. It sounded as if she were comparing women to mystery novels. Though it worked in her favor, really.  She followed him through the halls. “Of course. I don’t expect you to ignore the other guests forever. After all, it would be selfish of me to steal all your time. “

[decorum-militis]

Hibiki’s smile dropped to a frown at the thought of spending time with the other guests. “If I can be honest with you, if I can’t spend time with the rest of the guests, I wouldn’t particularly mind it. They’re not the most welcoming, at least not in my eyes.” He admitted honestly. He wasn’t fully sure why he would say something like that to someone he had just met, but he just felt like he could let out a sigh of relief now that he admitted what he was thinking since the beginning of the night.

“ Popularity comes and goes right ? As long as you have those people, who cares I say ! I’ll stick around whether you’re “popular” or not. After all, you’re a valuable person to me ! “

[decorum-militis]

“I’m really thankful for that. Really I am. I do consider you as a valuable person too, after all.”

[whisper-ofthe-stars-archive-dea]

“ Well you don’t need everyone to love you right ? Just the people that matter most to you. “

[decorum-militis]

“Right again. And fortunately I have my own group of peope whose opinions I care about more than my “fans”.”

Cinderella

She placed her hand in his in order to stand a bit easier in what she considered to be a sea of skirts. Perhaps she ought to be grateful for the more simple attire she wore every day. At least she had no risk of tripping over them.  “ Not at all, I apologize if I seemed rude or withdrawn. After all, if I reveal too much, it would not be much of a masquerade now would it ? “

[decorum-militis]

“Oh yes, I would never want a woman to reveal too many of her secrets.” Hibiki joked, liking her little remark. It was true, what point was there in knowing too much at something like a masquerade? Might as well keep some of the atmosphere up.

“Fortunately, it’s not that far of a walk from where we are,” He explained, leading the way through the halls, checking every once in a while to make sure they weren’t spotted by any of the guests. “Though we probably can’t stay there the whole night. Wouldn’t really feel right for a party, you know.”

“ The palace library? I’d love to ! I mean after all there must be books from all over there ! I bet there are stories I’ve never even heard of ! “ She was rather excited at the prospect.  She quickly realized that she might seem a bit over zealous and attempted to calm herself down. “I apologize… I spend a lot of time around books so…” She was even hoping to write her own someday.

[decorum-militis]

“That’s an understatement. We try to have a wide variety of books from neighboring countries to try and please some guests we have come over to the palace. There are some stories there I still haven’t been able to read yet.” He explained as he got up from his spot. offering a hand to help her up as well.

“I’m sure you’ll greatly enjoy yourself there, instead of me trying to force out small talk. Which, by the way, I apologize for if I made you uncomfortable in any way. I honestly don’t mean to.”

[whisper-ofthe-stars-archive-dea]

“ Well I mean, your appearance isn’t bad but… there is more than just that that’s good about you. I mean you’re really smart, though I guess that’s a given, and you’re good at giving advice and you don’t look down on anyone….” She realized she was listing things off and got a bit embarrassed. “ Point is th-there’s a lot of things to like is all.” 

[decorum-militis]

“You’re kind, and I know my traits very well, but others don’t seem too interested in them. I’m not the only one who lives like this, and it’s just unfortunate to deal with. Don’t worry, I’m not really too worried about it at all.”

[redeemed-radiance]

“I see. Well thank you. That sounds great.”

He seemed curious about what kind transportation the other was calling for in order to get them there.

After a few moments, Hibiki figured out what their “ride plans” would be. “Okay, I’ve rented us a car. It should be able to make it through any terrine we will face on the road. It should be out front soon.”

[whisper-ofthe-stars-archive-dea]

“ That’s good to hear at least. Best not to worry about all that ! It’s better to just relax and be yourself right ?! People should like you more for just being you anyway. “

[decorum-militis]

“Yes well, that won’t happen anytime soon. It’s clear that most people like me only for my appearance. Again I don’t mind too much, but they don’t really wish to know me at all.”

To pass the time ? Clean, that was what she did. She cleaned from morning to night with odd activities in between, then went to bed when she was finally allowed to sleep. However that was hardly a good answer.  “ Well… just boring things really. I read often and then when evening comes, I gaze at the stars. “ She enjoyed studying the twinkling lights above. It was something she could do while cleaning. The night sky was ever changing, never the same. She was rather jealous of their freedom. 

[decorum-militis]

Hibiki’s ears peaked when he heard her response. “Oh, you’re an avid reader huh?” While others think reading was that good of a hobby, Hibiki was on the other side of the fence on that one. “You know, most of the time when I would like to have some alone time, I go to the palace library and read quite a bit. Maybe I could show you it, if you’re interested of course.” It may have seemed like a weird little suggestion, especially for a ball, but it’s not as if the two of them were at the actual ball itself.

[whisper-ofthe-stars-archive-dea]

“ Fascinations and interests elsewhere..?” She didn’t particularly understand. Then again her popularity had never been all that high. Sorcerer’s Weekly only just noticed her half the time. “ Well, whatever the case, you still have friends to rely on, like myself. “ 

[decorum-militis]

“And I’m truly grateful for that. Though I’m not really too concerned avout my popularity nowadays, so it’s not that big of a change, that’s for sure.”

[redeemed-radiance]

“I see. I wouldn’t mind meeting her, maybe it would help me recover something important.” He replied.

[decorum-militis]

“Excellent thinking. So, I’ll call us up a ride to take us to Magnolia, because it will be a real hassle to walk all the way there.”

“ I can see why. You even have a perfect view of the stars. “ She pointed out, seemingly admiring the view for a moment.  She pondered his inquiry, suppressing a laugh at the irony of his statement. They had done just that earlier hadn’t they? But how much was safe to tell ?  “ I’m not all that interesting to speak about. What would one such as yourself wish to know ? “ 

[decorum-militis]

“Now now, don’t be like that.” Hibiki tried to reassure. He didn’t really know what could have happened to make her think that way, but that just gave him all the more reason to find out more about her.

“Well for starters, what do you do to pass the time? It’s hard for me to picture the day to day lives of others, so I’d like to know first hand what it’s like for others.” And to hear if things are bad and if there was any way he could try and fix it. If any of his family’s citizens were unhappy, he would try and help out, no matter what it was.

[whisper-ofthe-stars-archive-dea]

“ I find that hard to believe coming from the popular host of Blue Pegasus. Has something happened ? “

[decorum-militis]

“Not particularly. Just seems people’s fascinations and interests have gone elsewhere. It happens from time to time, just seems my time has come.”

[whisper-ofthe-stars-archive-dea]

“ Oh ? But how is it not? I’m sure you’re much more popular than I am ! “

[decorum-militis]

“You would think so, but it would seem my “popularity” is more or less dwindling at this rate.”

She carefully sat in the offered seat, resting her hands in her lap, fingers fiddling with the silken ruffles.  It was simply odd for her not to be doing something, so she allowed herself to slip into the habit for tonight.  “No, not at all. I didn’t have any such someone in particular. “ If anything, she was avoiding three such individuals in particular. She did not need a public repeat of the earlier cruelties.  “You have a lovely garden ! Or rather I suppose I should say your castle does shouldn’t I? The servants here must be really hardworking to keep it so impeccable. I’d praise them personally if I could ! “

[decorum-militis]

Hibiki couldn’t help but smile at her comment. “Yes, it’s quite nice. I come here all the time when I want to get away from it all.” He explained, looking up to the night sky, taking in the subtle tranquility.

“It’s kind of my secret spot that hardly anyone in the palace knows about, so I’m glad you enjoy it.” He said, trying to start opening up a conversation. He hadn’t really gotten the chance to talk so normally with someone before, so he had to take a moment before trying to start talk on a new topic.

“So, tell me about yourself. This might be the only real chance I can speak with you. Well, if I don’t decide to sneak out and happen to bump into you.” He joked, thinking that would be a highly unlikely situation.
