“What part of me thought this was a good idea?” He mutters to himself - looking over papers and letters like he couldn’t find something important. In truth, he was very lost. He’d had this job and rank for so long, but it was a miracle, wasn’t it?

“Parliamentary Secretary or some such nonsense... I’d like to hang Prim this second and let Kyle be a painter, then I wouldn’t need to be here.” There was a bitterness in his voice - venom and vinegar.

“This is beneath me. I didn’t leave the farm for nothing. I should have ranks to accompany my royal blood.”

Arkatoir is bored, so he's found something to play with while Kyle is busy with Riliane. "Ah- Hello, again. Allen, right?"

Allen should really, really finish cleaning the china cabinet. These dishes are solely for decoration. Not once has the princess-or any of the royal family-actually eaten off them.However, they have been collecting and unsightly dust for quite a while now. So Mariam tasked him to clean them-But he has to follow orders.Orders say he is to stop, and give his full attention to whomever is requesting it-so long as they are higher rank than he is. So he sets the cloth aside, and turns to face the redhead.

"Indeed," Allen nods to him, standing straight at attention. "How can I help you?"

[allenavadonia-archive]

"You? A Noble?" Allen couldn’t hold back his mock-laugh, and looked at Arkatoir incredulously, "When have you ever been forced into physical labor?"

At this, Allen sets the last plate into its holder and steps down off the stool, closing up the cabinet and placing a hand on his hip as he stared at Arkatoir-one eyebrow raised as he awaited his reply.

[illicit-scarlet-royal]

"Ah, er... Well, that is.. You see, it's..." He thought about how to word it properly. No one would take Allen seriously even if he did try to say something, right?

"I worked my ass off to get here. I argued with Her Royal Highness, The Dowager Queen, and got assistance from His Highness, King Kyle, and I had to go through so many obstacles to get here..." He made a small noise that sounded like the bottled up rage of a thousand people.

"I wasn't staying where I was, no matter what Her Highness tried. She still has that court mage watch me like a hawk...."

[allenavadonia-archive]

"I’d rather be filling out paperwork than cleaning up after everyone else’s filth." He counters, voice having an unpleasant edge to it as he steps up onto the stool and begins cleaning the last shelf of the cabinet.

briefly, it crosses his mind that Arkatoir may be speaking to him because no one else will. He frowns, and almost feels some sort of pity. 

Almost.

Surely, there are others who would speak with him.

[illicit-scarlet-royal]

"Ah, yes, you have a point... Physical labor isn't something I'm too fond of. Not that I can't do it, I just prefer not to-"

Oh he'd said too much. If The Dowager Queen heard about this, she'd have his head as a centerpiece during dinner one night. Oh, he was dead.

"A-Ah, in any case, it's quite nice to be able to talk to someone, ah... I hope I'm not bothering you far too much..."

[allenavadonia-archive]

"How very.. interesting," Allen commented, almost dryly. Somehow, he felt displeased that the servants in Marlon apparently did not work as often as the ones in Lucifenia did. Then again, he had never seen the sanitary conditions there, either.

"We do not clean the China sets everyday," He began, placing another on it’s holder and instead turning his attention to Arkatoir as he spoke, "but we do clean every single day, for several hours."

[illicit-scarlet-royal]

"Is that right.... That must be what goes on outside the office. They never come in because it just becomes a mess again, anyway.. Ah, that, and I can't find anything if one thing is moved..." He looked kinda ashamed of it, but he shrugged it off.

"It at least sounds a bit more eventful than sitting in front of books and papers all day - correct me if I'm wrong."

[allenavadonia-archive]

It’s definitely not hard for him to work and talk at the same time. He does it often enough with Chartette and a number of other servants. They’re basically the only social life he has.

He stays at attention for a few awkward moments, before continuing his task of cleaning the china plates and stacking them back on their correct golden holder. "No-That’s quite alright," Allen shrugs it off. He doesn’t need assistance-In fact, more likely than not he’d be scolded for accepting it. Some shelves were, indeed, above his reach, but he had a stool to reach them as he always did. It was a very ingrained, very boring routine.

[illicit-scarlet-royal]

Well, this was going to be quite the struggle, wasn't it?

"...So, then, is this a thing you have to do every day, or just every so often? I'm curious, I don't see the His Highness' servants do much of anything from where I'm usually stuck all day."

Agh, he didn't know what to talk to him about - but he certainly wasn't going to go be bored.

"Oh, no, no, don't let me keep you from what you were doing, I know it's important! It's not difficult to talk and work at the same time, is it?" 

Hm. Now that he thought about it, he'd never really done so. But maybe that was just because not a lot of people talked to him in the first place. Ah, he'd shrug it off and keep talking.

"Mm, in that respect, is there any way I can help you?"

There were some pretty high shelves, after all.

"I see.. My apologies." For a moment, he bows his head, but that’s all. Allen has met many people of beelzenian heritage in his life, so that explanation is perfectly plausible. Still, he wonders if that’s really the reason why. "Then it would be rude of me to not give you my name. I am Allen, pleased to meet you, Sir."

[illicit-scarlet-royal]

"A-Ah, the apology really isn't necessary...!" He waved it off almost immediately. It was a little strange, actually. He wasn't used to apologies directed toward him, so he was quick to brush them off.

"Ah, my name is Arkatoir. The pleasure is mine, really."

”..How very unfortunate,” Allen remarks as tastefully as he can. He isn’t certain if he is supposed to watch the Kings escort or not.  Strictly speaking, neither Mariam or Riliane had assigned him a particular task for this time period, but he doubts the princess would be too pleased of him allowing a stranger to roam about unwatched.

Though he does wonder if, perhaps, the slight remembrance he is feeling is caused from some photo from the hands of his mother, or if the redhead has been here before. Things before his time with Leonhart were getting fuzzier with age.

”..Pardon me, Have we met before?”

[illicit-scarlet-royal]

Had they met?

He didn't think so... Then again, he could have met him when he was little - wasn't this servant originally from outside? It was possible he met him in the streets if he had ever been to Lucifenia when he was little, but.... Ah, it wasn't likely. His mother was a poor woman, she wouldn't have had the money to travel, even if his father cared enough to give her any.

"I wouldn't think so. I've never left Marlon in my life before today. Maybe you're remembering someone of Beelzenian lineage? That's where my hair color comes from, after all..."

Elluka handed Gumillia back her glasses, the short girl sticking them in her cloak. While Gumillia bowed, Elluka merely nodded her head to the king.

"I am Elluka Clockworker, former Court Sorceress of Lucifenia," She said in a playful tone. "A friend of Kyle’s. ‘Millia?"

Gumillia stared at Arkatoir, expression as sharp as her words were blunt. “Gumillia. I’m Elluka-sama’s apprentice.”

The elder sighed and shook her head. “Sorry for appearing without prior announcement. I’m still not sure about Marlon’s idea of me after the Witch Hunt order, so I came privately. I’d like to talk to you in regards to the previous Court Mage of Marlon, Abyss I.R.” The playful tone had vanished, and though Elluka still smiled kindly, her words frosted over at the mention of Abyss.

[illicit-scarlet-royal]

Oh, so this was Miss Clockworker.

"Then my pleasure in meeting you is greater - any friend to Kyle is certainly welcome, here." His smile was bright, almost a little too warm.

He immediately cringed at the thought of Abyss, however, looking almost dreadfully nervous.

"....I never liked that woman... She was... unnerving at best." He said to her honestly. Any time he even saw the mage, he got chills up his spine. There was something off about her, he knew. There was nothing he could have said about it at the time, though. He shook this from his head and looked back at Elluka.

"What is it you'd like to know?"
