“I am afraid I know no better news of the English King than you, Your Highness.” Juan was straight to the point as he addressed Maria, standing with his arms folded. The elder infanta had always been perceptive, and he had never seen any reason to sugarcoat or mince words with her. “I think that many at this court fear the worst, but are too afraid to say so. I am ashamed to say that even after nearly two months in this court, the young king’s constitution remains a mystery even to me.” He sighed and then offered Maria a wan smile. “At this moment, it is your constitution which intrigues me more. Your travels were comfortable, I trust?”

@cataliinc liked for a starter!

“Hi, I think they switched our drinks. This is definitely not a chai latte.” She held out the cup to the woman before realizing giving her something she drank from probably wasn’t as kind as she thought it was. “Er, can I buy you another one?”

“Pequeña, did you truly mean to accept me as your big sis? I hope that brings no issue, but I will happily tear apart whoever tries to harm you. ♥”

{ ✂~ }        Oh, it felt good to have his babies back. The sound the metal claws made as they were dragged against the cold brick walls of the Ghetto’s alleyways was music to his ears. Gunji looked behind him at the scratches he’d left behind him, a dark chuckle escaping his mouth, abnormally long tongue flitting from pale lips as he made his way around, as though he was the most feared individual there. 

Which he wasn’t. But he could think so if he felt like it.

Passing round a corner was where he saw her. Something about this woman before him screamed deadly. And he liked it. Her outfit made her look this way, at least to him. But Gunji wasn’t scared. Oh no. Not at all. In fact, a challenge like this? With his babies in his possession...?

After all, since he got his claws back, it was in his best interests to skin the first person he saw. And if it was to be this beautiful, deadly lady. He’d have a lot of fun afterwards. Lifting the blade previously used against Kenpei, the executioner launched it towards the woman, in a vague attempt to catch her attention.

    “So. What’s a lovely lady like you doing here then? I’ll assume you’re here to cause trouble, and I’ll give it to ya’...~”
