     ❛ No, ❜  he deadpans with a weight that spells  honest.  It is likely not the answer she seeks,  but perhaps the brutality of it will keep her from following him like this…  like a stray kitten.  He sways his chin,  long hair dragging across his chest where it catches on his pale tunic.  His eyes flit shut.  ❛ When we are in battle,  I…  am not me.  And he,  would not. ❜

     ❛ Don’t. ❜  Don’t lie  is the full command,  but she ought to know how to fill it.  He fixes her with a gaze as cold as the steel he lives by.  His height—so quickly it caught up to him—works in his favor here,  how he blocks her way forward with his frame.  At his side,  his fingers curl to a fist so tight the nails bite sharp.  ❛ Your eyes are all puffy.  Who did this … ? ❜

❛ yeah, you keep on telling yourself that bullshit. ❜

     ❛ … ❜  Fearsome and monstrous as it may be,  the Death Knight’s armor is,  come dawn,  just armor.  The joints and cracks plentiful avenue for the fruit of his demon’s hunt to seep through,  deep into his light-colored gambeson.  Stains upon stains,  though the freshest ones shine damning wet.  

     His eyes dip slowly down Hubert’s chest and torso,  to the matching,  dark-stained gloves.  Then blink.  It is too obvious to state.  Still:  ❛ So are you. ❜

nobilismare​  /  constance

It was a jest but oh, how she missed the time they were carefree children and how much she loved to dance. She felt as free as the dress that was flowing into the air as she turned and twirled around. Alas, times had changed and the past had been lost. Nothing more than a passing memory that they could never return to.

“Well, that is just rude, do you not think? I have not said anything to upset you or are you afraid that I will expose more of you little secrets?“ Constance admitted that she was a bit loose-lipped but the man ought to relax! All she did was improve his image. “You could have at least lied and said you were busy.”

     ❛ Fine,  then. ❜  Yet he would have felt the same pangs of her teeth had he lied to her,  too.  She is a sinister one,  and  nostalgia,  an even crueler mistress.  Always luring him into these insufferable games of hers like a biting fly,  and he just so for following her easily,  ripe for the slaughter.  A form of torture,  he thinks it,  though one far from pleasurable.  

     So he does precisely as she says,  eyes dull and unblinking as they always are with that low,  plain voice of his:  ❛ I’m busy. ❜

❛ everything you touch, you ruin. ❜

❛ the only one who gets to kill you, is me. ❜

❛ you can’t make me disappear. ❜

❛ memories are only there to make you bleed. ❜

❛ i don’t need your permission. ❜

❛ don’t shut me out like this. ❜

❛ the less you know, the better. ❜

❛ i won’t stop killing until you kill me. ❜

❛ why is it whenever we see each other, you’re covered in blood? ❜

❛ you think i felt something for you? you’ve forgotten what i am. ❜

❛ the last time we talked, didn’t you say you wanted to kill me? ❜

❛ i felt something loosen in me that shouldn’t have been loosened. ❜

❛ pull yourself together. we have work to do. ❜

❛ stay back, i have a demon inside of me. ❜

❛ let me get closer, i have a hell inside of me where your demon can live. ❜

❛ people like that don’t deserve to live. ❜

❛ just do what you’re told. like you always do. ❜

❛ why do you have to make everyone hate you? ❜

❛ it’s better that you don’t get involved. ❜

❛ i’d do anything to make you stay. ❜

❛ who cares if it bleeds. ❜

❛ is this what you think love is? ❜

❛ just breathe through it. it gets easier. ❜

❛ don’t pretend that you cared about me. ❜

❛ i’m starting to think you like wasting my time. ❜

❛ we wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for me. ❜

❛ i will never, ever, give you a moment’s peace. ❜

❛ the world doesn’t hate us. but it doesn’t love us either. ❜

❛ it hurts that you still can’t trust me after all this time. ❜

❛ a darkness with voices is better than a silent void. ❜

❛ it’s safer to be feared, than loved. ❜

❛ am i not good enough for you? ❜

❛ a burnt child loves the fire. ❜

❛ i’m tired of dying. ❜

❛ what if you hurt because it feels good? ❜

❛ don’t try to fix me, i’m not broken. ❜

❛ if you want me to die, you can just say so. ❜

❛ you don’t have to be afraid of who you are. ❜

❛ that line disappears once you cross it. ❜

❛ how can i believe you after all you’ve done? ❜

❛ i won’t let you forget about me. ❜

❛ the person you once knew me as, died. ❜

❛ are you going to leave me again? ❜

❛ i have nothing i could offer you. ❜

❛ no one is going to save you. no one can. ❜

❛ maybe you’re / i’m already dead. ❜ 

❛ you have blood on your hands. ❜

❛ what, can’t take a punch? ❜

❛ i’m your mind giving you someone to talk to. ❜

❛ you have to step out of this darkness and let them see you for who you are, like i have. ❜

*wakes up*  in the new support with manuela,  she invites jeritza to go drinking and he says “i dont drink” so she suggests they go dancing instead to which he replies “i can’t show my face bc i’m a wanted criminal”  not  that he  doesn’t dance,  which,  your honor,  leads me to the conclusion that he did,  in fact,  want to dance 🥺

     ❛ Mhm.  The present is…  finite.  The past… ❜  He blinks,  lurid and slow,  and the thought breaks with it.  He does not dare tempt such memories now,  not so close to her.  Not within reach.  His pale-eyed gaze dilutes his words more sinister than sweet:  ❛ And the present  has you. ❜

     ❛ Hm… ❜  Few walk the plane who have been called worse than he.  Though the rumors and whispers murmured in towns and the afterglow of fresh battlefields these days—of a monster,  a beast,  a reaper—are not nearly as vile as the names and reproach spat from his own half-siblings’ mouths.  They do not make his heart still to a forlorn,  dangerous pace,  or whet his blade sharper in the darkling night.  They are flattery,  by comparison.   ❛ … what have you been called. ❜

ac prompts

     ❛ I wasn’t dancing. ❜  He doesn’t remember how,  though he was taught the practiced steps in his youth,  long,  long ago.  He danced with Constance once,  amid the tall legs of towering elders on a dance floor that felt the size of the earth.  Her laugh as he twirled her like a princess in the paintings…  that,  he remembers.  The velvet weight of memory ties his voice in a long,  silky bow.  ❛ However…  I was indeed hiding from you. ❜

     ❛ Must you yell ?  ... never mind... ❜  His thoughts drift elsewhere,  beyond the confines of a monastery built like a prison with its loud,  clamoring rats scurrying about,  squeaking through every crevice—much like the one standing before him now.  The Blade Breaker.  He has yet to test that epithet.  But there will be time.  There is always time.  For now,  he closes his eyes and muses to the seldom thing that might bring him some bliss:   ❛ There are prunes … ? ❜
