THE SPARE

I was only a spare, a shadow of my brother. From the ashes of the past I rose up to forge my empire and going forward I became THE EARL PHANTOMHIVE. Private/Independent/Highly selective "Astre" The Spare. (O!CIEL)

[falseearl-a]

Okay so I needed to start fresh for Astre, since this blog was a hot mess. So if you want to still role play with Astre you can find him over at his shiney new blog, same url falseearl. I have also updated my rules so make sure you read them.

❛ i hope this raven finds you well… ❜

❛ you carry a sword, yet you are not a knight. ❜

❛ the gods must be angry. i sense a storm brewing. ❜ 

❛ there’s no place i’d rather be than by your side. ❜ 

❛ nobility is defined by what you do, not who you are. ❜

❛ i know how to keep my life and my crown. and i will. ❜ 

❛ well, i’m not a knight. not yet. ❜

❛ at least we’ll die with honor. ❜

❛ i’ve never seen a dragon before, what are they like? ❜

❛ this knife is laced with venom, any sudden movements and you’re dead. ❜ 

❛ of all the idiots in the realm, i’m trapped with you. ❜ 

❛ shed no tears for me. i will be back before you know it. ❜ 

❛ i’m sorry, but i’m to be married to someone else. ❜ 

❛ here’s a copper for your thoughts. and a silver not to tell them. ❜ 

❛ you humans are most amusing. ❜ 

❛ may i have this dance? ❜ 

❛ you were made to be ruled. ❜ 

❛ i will protect you. it is my duty, knight or not. ❜

❛ my kingdom is in danger. i’ve come to ask for your aid. ❜ 

❛ i’ve got a date with destiny, and it won’t end in a kiss. unfortunately. ❜ 

❛ keep your sword up and your back straight. ❜

❛ you’re asking me to commit treason. ❜

❛ you will make a fine ruler one day. ❜ 

❛ no curse of mine shall befall you from my dying breath. ❜

❛ you should see me in a crown. ❜ 

❛ bury me shallow, i will be back. ❜

❛ bard! play something a little more upbeat. ❜ 

❛ i warn you, i’ve been trained to kill since birth. ❜

❛ my magic is useless against them. i’ve never felt so powerless. ❜ 

❛ how can it be my destiny to protect someone who hates me? ❜ 

❛ i am at your mercy, your grace. ❜ 

❛ do not be afraid, little one. i will not hurt you. ❜ 

❛ any man who must say ‘i am the king’ is no true king. ❜

❛ knights must prevail with steel and sinew alone. ❜

❛ impudent of you to assume i will meet a mortal end. ❜

❛ spare me the ‘i’ve come to slay you’ speech and let’s get on with it. ❜ 

❛ it is my duty to protect the last of the dragons. ❜

❛ do i look like the kind of person who dies? ❜

❛ we are king and queen, chained together like prisoners in a dungeon. ❜ 

❛ for every great ruler, there is an equally great assassin poised to kill. ❜

❛ my bloodline was wiped out before my eyes. i’m the last heir. ❜ 

❛ you look better in your wanted posters. ❜ 

❛ you don’t need a king. a knight can make another knight. ❜

❛ violence for violence is the rule for beasts. ❜

❛ fear cuts deeper than swords. ❜

❛ pick a god and pray to it. ❜

❛ i’d rather die than marry you. ❜ 

❛ my duty is to my people. ❜ 

❛ glad to see you haven’t become food for the vultures. ❜ 

❛ i will paint the throne red with your blood. ❜ 

❛ what’s a life threatening quest without a bit of music? ❜ 

❛ some of us may not survive, but the ones that do will get the ultimate reward… paid. ❜

"You're much better at fighting and strategy and… pretty much everything but talking." - Alois c:

The first part of his words rang with truth however, the last part struck a nerve with the Phantomhive. "And what is wrong with my talking? Well. Out with it Trancy. As I am quite certain you want to finish that sentence, don't you?" A glare was shot in the blondes direction. However, he was not better at everything. Such as cooking, among a few other minor things.

"The only way to succeed in this is to have confidence that it can be done."

"I'm not doing this for the money."

"I'm doing this for the people who took me in when no one else would."

"I'll put it this way: s/he makes her/his living honestly, s/he doesn't drink his/herself silly, and s/he doesn't make me weep in the small hours, wondering where s/he is."

"Once the dead man is revived, we can ask him five questions, at which point he will die again, never to be re-revived."

"My uncle said (name) fended off a beholder using only a sharpened gourd."

"Well, you can all go find this lovely (name) and braid each other's hair."

"You know, I've pulled cats out of fish."

"You may have forsworn your oath, but your oath hasn't forsworn you."

"Just because that sentence is symmetrical, doesn't make it not nonsense."

"I find irony is a blade that cuts he who wields it most especially."

"To drag your lady-love back to her old life is to deprive her of her new one."

"'Tis no simple feat to kill that which is already dead."

"You're much better at fighting and strategy and… pretty much everything but talking."

"I've never seen a bigger coward."

"Stop trying to capture it- you just have to let it go."

"You talk us into doing things you know won't work, and then you blame us when it goes pear-shaped!"

"Instead of dwelling on what went wrong and who lied to whom, let's put our heads together and figure out a plan!"

"You left your family to be with a man who left you because you were so upset about leaving your family."

"You are at your strongest when you think you're at your weakest. But you deliver."

"So you die a fool. It's better than to live as one."

"Now I'm in a pickle because… I don't want to see you die. Which is why I'm gonna leave the room."

"If you're gonna kill us, at least let us die with dignity."

"S/he knows I'm prepared to do terrible things to get what I want."

"I'm prepared to do terrible things to get what I want, even to those I care about most."

"I love you, (name), and nothing will ever get in the way of that again, okay?"

"Whatever happens to us, stay hidden."

"Now, as you die, rest assured it will not be the end. For you will forever suffer."

"Shut up, I'm a moron, you know that."

"I know my last attempt to court you was quite bad- but I wonder… if you'd consider having another go at it?"

"I have taken a look inside and I've asked myself, 'what's going on in there?' And you know, I realized a lot of it goes back to my mum."

An  short  panic  instant  betrayed  his  features.  Possibly,  he  wouldn’t  never  be  able  again  to  picturing  someone  coughting  without  recollecting  what  happened  to  him  …  Still,  as  much  his  gaze  showed  serious  anxiety  for  something  so  small,  he  anchored  himself  into  recent  physical  touch  he  did  in  his  forehand.  With  some  rest,  eventually,  it  will  pass  …  and  he  can  use  him  as  teddy  bear  …  if  he  didn’t  invinting  himself  for  bring  affectionnate  reassurances  towards  him.  It  came  naturally  to  him  to  simply  enjoying  every  occassion  to  be  close  to  Phantomhive  !  There  was  still  that  fear  about  be  rejected,  that  permanent  terror  he  might  doing  something  wrong  …  but  well  …  with  the  time,  he  must  have  been  accoustumed  to  what  to  expect  from  him,  right  ?  It  wasn’t  like  he  was  famous  for  behaving  normally  …  or  even  having  some  common  sense  !  Or  consideration  about  social  norms,  all  associated  bullshit  associated  with  his  status,  all  associated  boredom  linked  towards  ‘normality’.  For  a  couple  of  seconds,  there  was  an  emotion  of  responsability,  who  was  still  oppressing  inside  his  being.    ❝  Why  not  laying  down  for  some  moments  ?  You  will  have  some  nurse  with  you.    ❞  He  would  apology  in  advance  for  what  he  will  do  …  for  been  totally  powerless  to  take  care  of  someone.  Managing  to  take  care  of  himself,  not  to  rest  some  days  into  comforting  ambiance  of  his  sheets,  sometimes  remained  a  feat.  He  was  able  to  stay  enthused  longer,  to  pretend  he  hadn’t  been  emotionally  shaken  by  what  had  happened,  yet  his  despair  only  grew  deeper.  Recollections  of  his  curse  into  details  like  those  were  fragmented  remembrance  of  an  sadness  he  did  his  best  not  to  show  …  He  invited  gently  Astre  to  lay  down  over  one  of  luxurious  couchs.

Astre would accept the invite to lay down. Moving over towards one of the couches he would proceed to just then and there flop down on his back. When had been the last time Astre had been sick? The former earl couldn’t remember. Looking up at Alois once he got as comfortable as possible he spoke once more. “What were you blabbering about a nurse? Have you ever taken care of a someone who has been ill before?” A simple question and one he would hope have a good answer because if not this was going to be a long recovery. 

Astre did know a few things. If someone had a fever you need to cool them down, drink liquids. Rest. But he was also coughing and thankfully he only had that. So for a cold it would be tea with maybe some lemon or ginger. Or perhaps honey. “It was not my intention to get sick. I was just foolish to stay out in the cold chill of the air when I should have known better.” Especially since he had the same things that his mother had. So being outside for too long or getting wet and not drying quickly or getting warmed up would make him break out into coughing fits.

‘ Tea sounds just as nice, I don’t wish to drink and end up drunk later on.’ She smiled waiting for the young earl to catch up, looking towards the large crowd before them she made sure there was a way to go through it that way they wouldn’t end up being separated from one another. Once she managed to make clear of the crowd, she turned waiting for the other.

Uh...right. Before retreating out to the balcony Ciel had actually seen a few who had a little much already. So yeah, tea is just perfect for him. Also since he was still underage and couldn’t have a drop of liquor or wine. The young Earl made his way through the crowd following after the woman, however he did get caught up in a few small conversations before politely continuing on and finally catching up to the other. “Sorry. There were a few who wanted to speak with me briefly. By the end of this ball I would not doubt there will be a few who will be drunk.”

An  wave  of  enthousiasm  wrapped  his  features,  flattered  towards  sudden  compliments  …  over  that  long  time  ago  memory.  He  expressed  his  first  sentence  playfully,  considering  how  much  he  touched  for  other  reasons  the  experience  of  ‘boy  in  distress’  —  though  yet  unable  to  offering  complete  derision  over  the  topic  without  be  triggered  back  and  breaking  down  …  for  still  yet  …  digest  …  circumstances  about  how  his  life  will  be  until  his  last  breath,  how  he  was  supposed  to  bring  justice  over  a  legacy  without  be  allowed  to  confess  full  details.  He  didn’t  really  get  an  occassion  to  ask  Phantomhive  about  his  'opinion’  back  over  that  particular  reference  :  their  relationship  was  different,  he  was  walking  into  a  path  of  illusions  …  His  late  approbation  was  gratefully  welcomed.  Though,  he  would  remaining  true  to  himself.  Sadly,  there  was  no  occassion  to  testing  that  point  over  his  metaphoric  twin,  treating  that  topic  as  a  domain  of  complete  freedom  about  expected  behavior  …  if  he  even  wanted  to  playing  such  role.  He  appreciated,  with  Astre,  to  not  focusing  solely  over  the  boy  he  was  supposed  to  be  —  to  tasting  one  more  that  sensation  to  act  as  much  he  desired,  without  consideration  for  feedback.    ❝  Oooooh,  I’ll  be  your  beautiful  princess  waiting  full  of  affection  from  her  prince~    ❞  He  charmed  back,  when  joyfully,  he  crossed  once  more  personal  space  by  moving  along  his  face.    ❝  A  magnificent  prince  ready  to  help  his  princess  in  distress  !    ❞  He  playfully  dramatized.    ❝  I  appreciate  that  you  loved  the  maid  ~  You  will  surely  enjoy  rest  of  my  lonely  hobbies~    ❞

“P-prince! Now hold on a minute there. I-I never said-” His words cut off as his personal space became invaded by the blonde as well as feeling the movement across his face. Astre felt like his cheeks were burning up.....oh wait they were! He was becoming a flustered mess. Guess the former Earl really stepped into that one didn’t he. “I said to amuse me, not to make me the prince. And you’re a little too close. Not that I mind, I mean forget it. Forget that part.” 

Astre tried to move back a little bit. “If you must know the truth I found that display as the maid rather disgusting. Actually i’d rather not be reminded of when you dressed like that. A deal. If you can dress as a decent princess I will be your pr....pri....” Oh he really didn’t want to say it but he must. “Your prince. Also just what other lonely hobbies do you mean?”

The woman smiled abit finding herself in a similar situation, turning to look towards the view before them over the balcony, she closed her eyes giving a small and soft hum of thought. ‘ That was with me as well, I don’t know old rich people sometimes talk about stuff I do not understand gives me a headache.’ She giggled into her gloved hand, she loved her life but she could do without the damn balls. ‘ Well, you can be out of place with me out here if you’d like, but….I am gonna need another drink would you like something young earl? ‘ Kikyou said making her way towards the balcony doors, the music inside echoing out to where they were her head turning to glance at him. 

“As I said, the chatter of those old rich people can get stale very quickly. It’s why I tend to bow out when they are not paying attention.” IListening to old men ramble on was so very boring. After all the Earl didn’t always attend grand parties or balls much when he was a child due to his illness. And he had often been shy. He was quick to shake those memories away as the young earl looked to the young woman. “Ah, yes I would like something actually. Perhaps a nice cup of tea since I am far too young to drink anything else. Wait up.” He walked after her.

“ you're burning up. “ (from alois )

"I'm fi-" His words were cut off as another fit of coughs came over him. Astre had not been feeling well and and had been outside in the cold air for too long. His body felt like it was going to give way any moment and well if he was burning up it meant he had a fever. "I just need a good rest and i'll be fine."

[falseearl-a]

❝ i always thought i’d make a fantastic princess . ❞ (from alois )

"Hmm, well you do well enough pulling off wearing dresses. And especially wigs. So why not dress up as a princess it would be very amusing at least for me." Just as long as he wasn't dragged into being dolled up. Astre did NOT want to wear a corset again.
