Duchess

Speak roughly to your little boy and beat him when he sneezes he only does it to annoy because he knows it teases. I speak severely to my boy I beat him when he sneezes for he can thoroughly enjoy the pepper when he pleases SCMMusicPlayer.init("{'skin':'skins/black/skin.css','playback':{'autostart':'true','shuffle':'true','volume':'50'},'playlist':[{'title':'{ I }','url':'http://youtu.be/nCKIUfvP96E'},{'title':'{ II }','url':'http://youtu.be/TBeqy67AALk'},{'title':'{ III }','url':'http://youtu.be/47mLY8vX3L0'},{'title':'{ IV }','url':'http://youtu.be/19bBGxf5k6k'},{'title':'{ V }','url':'http://youtu.be/hGzvkySJKbM'}],'placement':'bottom','showplaylist':'false'}"); {nsfw}

          One of those bad dreams where he is a child again. The manor is ever reeking in the spiced scent of pepper, and a young Leonardo hides in his room, fearful of the pounding footfalls outside. He's knocked over mother's new vase, and she's quite cross with him for it. Despite it being a remnant of the past, a memory locked away in the far reaches of his mind, it all felt as real as the day it happened.

                ♘ * "And do you think death is any less of a hell-hole? Who’s to say we aren’t thrown into a purgatory where all the slain monsters are rotting as well the second we come to pass." The thought that Dinah, poor diseased feline, would be in such a place made gloved hands tighten into fists. "Tais-toi. Only your title will be replaced — but no person can replace another." There will never truly be an Alice who can harbor emotions to themselves like what Cheshire felt to the original. When Dinah is finally replaced — he won’t feel the same for them — he just wouldn’t. “They can give me a dozen Duchess’ after you and I won’t love them the same way I love you. No matter how similar they are."

[speak-roughly]

"Vous dites que vous m'aimez, et pourtant vous êtes toujours ailleurs."

               "Do you love me as your owner? As the Duchess? Or do you love me because I'm Leonardo? Because I grew up in this house?" Cheshire was the only thing - the only person - he cared about from his past. If it were up to him he would have burned down everything. Watched the hosue crumble and the smoke poison the sky with the last remains of his childhood and that wretched woman. But Cheshire was fond of the house (as far as he could tell). He had good memories in this home, and the only good memories of this home that Leonardo had were times he had with the cat. 

It was the only reason he stayed in this place.

                ♘ * Cheshire had quite the cruel words to retort with — but alas, he bit back his tongue (quite literally) because one shouldn’t speak to their Duchess so foully. Back to his human form he went, fixing white clothing as he crossed arms before his chest with a deep sigh falling past his lips. “An untimely death of yours would like to be avoided altogether."

[speak-roughly]

               Frustrated at his lack of ash tray, Leonardo pinched what was left of his cigarette out with his fingers, soon after shaking his hand at the sting of the heat. "For what reason should I wish to live long? I live in a land where a Queen would rather wish me dead, a land which is dying, and can only be saved by a woman who abandoned us. Even without those things, once I die you'll simply find a new master, will you not? Someone else will come along and take the title of Duchess."

[speak-roughly]

               "What does that matter? It’s not as if you’re here to keep me company. You have others who are more worth your time."

[couleurdrainee-deactivated20141]

                ♘ * All he’d get in return was a loud hiss from the white-furred feline. 

[speak-roughly]

               "What's the matter, mon chat? Dont like that answer?" It seemed Leo was in a bad mood that night on top of being tired. Maybe because of the customers he had to deal with that day.  "I doubt I'll live long even with these bad habits of mine." Who knew what kind of long-term damage his mother did before her 'untimely' death.

[speak-roughly]

               "Dont look at me like that, Mon chat. I’ve had a long day."

[couleurdrainee-deactivated20141]

                ♘ * “Keep up such habits and you’ll have a short life."

[speak-roughly]

               "What does that matter? It's not as if you're here to keep me company. You have others who are more worth your time."

[speak-roughly]

          "…." He’s tired, so the bad habits come out. Smokes and a glass of wine.

[speak-roughly]

               "Dont look at me like that, Mon chat. I've had a long day."

[speak-roughly]

          "...." He's tired, so the bad habits come out. Smokes and a glass of wine.

    ♗; Not caring whether another person slowly their own person seemed like a very charming trait, indeed. It was not surprising the Duchess had few friends. ”Why, you should already know. Wonderland is standing still. There is only one errand left to run.” An errand that was his responsibility entirely. “Finding and guiding the new Alice.”

[speak-roughly]

          "Alice?" He hated Alice. But that was his own business. Well I can see you're very busy with... Alice. Good work." he was being sarcastic since there was no Alice with him. Brilliant job, rabbit. Maybe you should step up your game a little.

[painted-rabbit-deactivated20131]

    ♗; Whatever he had done to receive such praise, the rabbit didn’t quite understand — but he was in no position to complain. Not any longer. Still, it was hard for him to say what the Duchess was trying to accomplish. Bibwit was merely a servant carrying out orders from another. It didn’t matter to him whether he was liked or not. “How pleasant,” he remarked, cocking an eyebrow.

[speak-roughly]

          He simply liked that the other didnt care if he smoked or not. That was really all there was to it. "So then, rabbit," he called again, leaning back and drawing the filter away from his lips with his left hand. "Tell me, what errand am I interrupting this time with out little chat?"

[speak-roughly]

          “Not to sound like a certain annoying bunch but… have you ever gone that far with anyone?” It was just a curiosity, really. “Because you tend to send mixed signals from time to time.”

[couleurdrainee-deactivated20141]

                ♘ *  ”Not all the way but I had some close calls, I suppose you could say.” He shrugged, “But I do suppose that it would be easier for me to sleep with a man than a woman. At least I know how everything works down there for my own sex.”

[speak-roughly]

          He's not going to linger on that, he tells himself. "Women are too complicated," he passes off, turning his gaze away. Though he did cross his arms over his chest after looking to see his pack of cigarettes was empty now.

[speak-roughly]

          Aaaand the unlit cigarette fell from his lips. Damn it, compose yourself, Leo. “Shut up. Like you’d ever. All you do is tease.”

[couleurdrainee-deactivated20141]

                ♘ *  ”In case you hadn’t noticed, I am not one to be at all so sexually active.” The cat mused almost idly as he picked up the unlit cigarette and tossed it out the window.        ”Not exactly my fault. I could be straight for all I know.”

[speak-roughly]

          "Not to sound like a certain annoying bunch but... have you ever gone that far with anyone?" It was just a curiosity, really. "Because you tend to send mixed signals from time to time."

[painted-rabbit-deactivated20131]

    ♗; “Really, with all respect, Duchess— I don’t have time for this nonsense. What that cat does is none of my business and I believe that I have not once mentioned your smoking, so trying to repel me with this toxic smoke of yours was completely unnecessary. If you have to vent your frustration, of whatever kind it might be, please leave me out of it.”

[speak-roughly]

          He couldnt help the slight lift to his lips. Sure the rabbit was being rude in his words, but Leonardo didnt quite care so much about that as he cared about the message of the answer given. "Now that's an answer I'm willing to accept. I like you, rabbit."

[speak-roughly]

          ....Damn cat.

[speak-roughly]

          “What? You want me to be more flexible.” Leo dont.

[couleurdrainee-deactivated20141]

                ♘ *  ”Well there are positions which require flexibility for deeper penetration.” Two can play at that game.

[speak-roughly]

          Aaaand the unlit cigarette fell from his lips. Damn it, compose yourself, Leo. "Shut up. Like you'd ever. All you do is tease."

[speak-roughly]

          “Everyone seems to complain about my habits as it is, why not give them reason to?”

[painted-rabbit-deactivated20131]

    ♗; “I have no recollection of complaining about your habits whatsoever, Duchess. You act childishly on your own assumptions.”

[speak-roughly]

          "What's so childish about smoking? Chesh wont let me smoke if he's around. He complains about the smell and says I'm poisoning myself. I figure if anyone else wishes to stop me, they can be driven off by a cloud of 'toxic smoke' for all I care."

[speak-roughly]

          “You know I cant help it - it’s my stress relief. What else do you expect me to do?”

[couleurdrainee-deactivated20141]

                ♘ *  ”Try yoga. Less poisonous.”

[speak-roughly]

          "What? You want me to be more flexible." Leo dont.
