“Tea would be nice,” he admits, keeping his head up just enough until the duke leaves the room. Fendi presses his face into his hands and focuses on the sensation of skin against skin, pressing down in an effort to ground himself. 

It isn’t until a voice breaks through the fog in his brain that he pulls his hands away and lets them fall loosely into his lap. Yellowed eyes drift over the contents, alternating between focusing and not – he gives up on picking out anything specific.

“Black, please. Thank you so much for your hospitality.” Despite his apparently poor mental health, he may be able to answer questions.

         Concern doesn’t leave the Duke, even when the inspector seemed capable of still being able to choose such a mundane thing – But he was no doctor, and the little feeling of wishing to help more was a stubborn bug. 

          ‘‘ Very well. ‘‘ Says, motioning for his butler to come, who complies and even doesn’t need the words to know what to do – Leaving with a vow as Anton turns around to the Inspector. ‘‘ It will be ready in minutes. Perhaps It may sound out of it but... ‘‘ Sweet toned, careful in his steps as he drags another seat for himself across. ‘‘ I believe being this worn out from your job - Perhaps the meeting you had in mind here could be postponed? I could arrange that in no time, I’m almost free from any agenda this week and I believe it’s a matter that can be talked any day, Inspector. Despise I’ve still been not informed what it is in your wishes to talk with me - It feels rude to query. ‘‘

“I very much appreciate it.” He’s a bit wobbly as he sits down in the chair, and his hands are shaking from the sudden strain of his body catching up to his mind. Stress can make even the most steady man stumble, after all.

“I could… probably use something to drink, truly.” A sigh breaks his sentence into two pieces. The offered hand is stared at in some confusion - it seems Fendi is not quite at full thinking capacity. Whatever happened to make him space out must have rattled his mind considerably…

         Surely the inspector wasn’t in their best shape, Anton could just deduce by a mere look – Why he though it was a good idea to pass by the mansion in such a state still puzzled him but politeness was all he could offer, all guests were welcome after all. ‘’ Water? I also do have a variety of teas that could bring some peace for your body, Inspector. Black, green, finest english tea... A huge library. Ah – Better I bring the little box with them so you choose thoughtfully. ‘’ And like that, the Duke bows and leaves the spacious room for mere moments.

         Which weren’t long before he was back with a neatly decorated box on his hands, snapping it open with a careful digit for Its contents displayed for the Inspector. ‘’ Here, please do take your time. ‘’

         Brows raised in concern - quite the scare given how it looked as if the Inspector had lost his breath from one moment to another, worry settled on usually calm features of the Duke as he stayed fairly at a distance.

         Upon the other man agreeing, Anton complies, pushing the closest and neater chair for him to rest after such an unfortunate episode. ‘’ Make yourself comfortable, Inspector. If there’s something else you need, like a drink, I’ll be pleased to assist. ‘’ Spoke, a hand offered.

“I wish it could always be like this.”

“You’re always there for me.”

“The stars are the only thing that makes sense.”

“There’s more out there, you just have to be patient.”

“It doesn’t all have to be existential dread.” 

“You’re so much different when we’re alone.”

“I like it when the worlds quiet.” 

“There’s a place for us somewhere.”

“They’ll name constellations after you one day.”

“Your hearts beating so fast.”

“They don’t know what they want.”

“You don’t know what you want.”

“That’s what they’re supposed to say.”

“We really don’t know what we’re doing.”

“I miss the old you.”

“Nostalgias a trap.”

“Aliens are out there.”

“Did you hear that?”

“I really want pizza right now, think it’s open?” 

“What time is it?”

“But why would they abduct cows?”

“We’ll all be dead soon enough anyways.” 

“I wish we didn’t have to sleep.”

“What do you believe in?”

“What happens after we die?”

“Seems like a silly thing to say, don’t you think?” 

“And what’s your excuse?”

“You’ll get it together soon.”

“Sometimes I feel like I’ll never have it together.”

“It’d be better if people weren’t so afraid of their feelings.”

“You keep quiet and we both lose.”

“I wish I could save this forever.”

“When did you realize you were in love with me?”

“The rooms spinning.”

“I loved you long before you knew.”

“I’m not afraid of death, I think it’ll be peaceful.”

“The Universe is too big for that.”

“Do you think we’ve met in other lives?” 

“I’d come back to haunt you.” 

“Would you come back to haunt me?”

“What’s alternate universe you doing right now?”

“Tell me a secret.”

“Why haven’t you told anyone?” 

“I wish we knew each other sooner.”

“You’re a game changer.” 

“I’m a game changer.”

“Don’t ignore fate.” 

“Ignorance isn’t bliss.”

“What, is that a conspiracy theory?”

“It’s probably the Illuminati anyways.”

          Perhaps reading indefinite amount of time shouldn’t be much of concern – If it wasn’t by the fact Anton’s sense of time has absolutely another meaning and thus... Neglected many tasks, not the super important one back at the village, though, but things as mundane as to dust off many of his belongings....

         Oh boy.

“How long have you been there?” //For the ice-breaker starters!

         ‘‘ Shall I reply with ‘Perhaps sometime now’ ? Because that’s how long, Ms. Brenda. ‘‘ The Duke chuckles somewhat playfully, resting a hand on his own hip while keeping a polite smile on. ‘‘ But that aside, It’s been a while we haven’t seen each other, how are you? ‘‘

“…I suppose that’s a matter of personal taste.” Romance novels were not interesting, he thought.

“I wouldn’t necessarily say that about technology and computers. Physical copies cause fewer problems with eye strain.” Not to mention his background was in that, so he didn’t have antagonism toward technology.

“Though it is also a matter of location, correct? Many cities have libraries cared for by the local government.” Did his village not have a public library? Though him having those older books would be valuable, particularly for something rare.

         Anton nodded respectfully, casting a rather curious look on his eyes to what Subaru’s saying. ‘’ That’s true, I’ve got myself a Laptop and everything but when it comes to reading, I do prefer to use the books, and so I always try to keep them in it’s best conditions. ‘’ Voice filled in sweet confidence as a chuckle bubbled out his lips.

         ‘‘ Correct. ‘‘ Replies ‘‘ And... No, it’s a small town and between the community and the elders around we decided to leave my Library as a public place for those in need of books or just a quiet place. After all, as the Duke I serve for my people and most of the donations given and my own money granted by inheritance due the gold mine is 60% used for the Village’s growth. ‘‘ Which really has lifted lately the positive to his persona, rumors and negative gossip lowering in tone which Anton appreciates.

Generally hard to sneak up on him, but he had waited to comment. Best not to appear paranoid.

“Well, I’ve always preferred mysteries, but there is some appeal of other works.” He smiled faintly. “But full private libraries are quite rare, I’ve noticed.”

         ‘‘ Mysteries? ‘‘ He hums somewhat impressed, settling a small smile as he takes a seat on the nearest neatly decorated chair. ‘‘ I do like those as well, but perhaps my tastes go more for romance, small slices of life or even those books leave you wondering about the world! ‘‘ 

         ‘‘ I agree on the later, perhaps because with technology conquering over the necessity of having books to look for information and stories... But mine’s nor Private at all! In the contrary, the Village is free to visit here anytime. ‘‘ He chuckles. ‘‘ Even sometimes I get small groups from schools and Universities to get and take a look on files that may not exist somewhere else aside here. ‘‘

Hi! I'm a vampire myself. What's your clan? I belong to the Sabretooth Clan.

         ‘‘ My apologies but... I can hardly tell since I’m sure I do not belong to what you call a ‘Clan’. All I do is to serve the Village inherited by my father as the Duke, nothing else. But glad to see more... uh, fellow vampires around. ‘‘

“How long have you been there?”

         Ah, busted in the act. The duke only allows a slight laugh to come before a hand waves welcoming the man. ‘’ Perhaps just a while ago, just didn’t want to distract you from what seems to be a good book. Surely you’ve taken some fondness to my library, dare I ask which ones have got your liking? ‘’
