122 - There is a Devil There

[Lloyd]

It seems you and I have gotten off to a bad start. And since I would not want to disrupt the delicate truce I currently share with your father, I believe it would serve us both to try and start anew.

Or would you rather deny I even exist? Because as preferable as that may seem, I am sure you will find it nigh impossible as your time here continues on.

[Colette]

I should like to try this again. I have a favor to ask of you.

[/Filter]

I wonder how long this quiet will last for. It seems far too pleasant to last any respectable amount of time.

You've got to be kidding.

[Lloyd]

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

I rarely do.

[Vergil]

[simpledoes.livejournal.com]

You're the one that attacked me! Why should I care what my dad thinks of you?

[Lloyd]

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

You believe I attacked you? I drew my sword on you, I swung at you, but I did not attack you. I simply pushed you.

It's not as if I could have asked to see it. And I needed to see it.

And then reason you should care is because it would disrupt a balance. And the disruption would cause a great amount of stress and undo tension.

If anything's getting disrupted, that's your problem, not mine.

[Lloyd]

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Is it? I've been on friendly terms with a number of individuals from your world, Lloyd. A disruption could cause them a lot of unnecessary pain.

Pain that is very easy to circumvent. If you are interested, that is.

[He's silent for a long moment.]

This is how you deal with it? That's not being a friend - that's being a coward.

Choose your words carefully...

[Lloyd]

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

[A momentary silence...]

I already approached the person who I am most concerned about causing any undo pain. But there are others that do not need to know of this.

I am not asking you to lie, Lloyd. I am simple asking that you permit me the chance to...[Give him a moment. Goddamn you all] rectify the situation I created.

[frostmourned.livejournal.com]

The quiet isn't bad.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

But not what you prefer, is it?

[frostmourned.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter to us either way. [Sat in solitude almost for three years, doesn't mind silence or quiet.]

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Of course it doesn't.

[frostmourned.livejournal.com]

It bothers you.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Hardly.

[frostmourned.livejournal.com]

You don't trust the quiet to last, so it becomes something that bothers you in the end.

[key-of-time.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you should enjoy the calm while it lasts.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Whose to say I am not enjoying it?

[Vergil]

[apologeticangel.livejournal.com]

Um, yes! Of course.

[Colette]

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

It would likely be best if this was done in person. It seems I have a favor to ask and a situation to rectify.

A situation which requires me to be rather forthcoming to fix.

[Vergil]

[apologeticangel.livejournal.com]

R-right, I'll come really quickly. [she wants to ask what is wrong... But she doesn't want to loose the dance to help, so magical timeskip later she arrives]

[Colette] - Recorded + filtered 4eva?

[And he opens the door, stepping out into the hall.]

I would rather this remain from certain ears. Perhaps we could take this to the rooftop?

[apologeticangel.livejournal.com]

Okay... Um, if you don't mind me asking... Who is it you don't want to be overheated by? [follows him to the rooftop, trying to keep up]

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

[Keeps his pace controlled. He doesn't want to tire the girl out]

My neighbors. It seems I share the floor with more than a few from your world.

[Hello rooftop. I missed you.]

[apologeticangel.livejournal.com]

Oh.. [weird answer in her book, but she's still keeping an open mind D:]

[Colette looks up at the stars for a moment, surprisingly enough, she hasn't come up here, and she thinks it's beautiful. But she's focused, really.] So um... what is it you need?
