Speaking to him isn't easy.

[violet_wolf]

I need another drink.

(Because clearly the one that is bubbling over in front of him isn't interesting enough.)

The color could be better.

(He picks up a straw and twirls it between his black-nailed fingers.)

I don't like games. They don't always end well. (And then he has to step in and be a Prefect.)

Hm? What do I think of Ciel Phantomhive and Professor Michaelis?

(A looong pause while he mixes his drink with one of the straws.)

I like Ciel and Professor Michaelis seems capable. Will I be seeing them again? (He doesn't look like he cares one way or another.)

Huh.

My, all of P4 will be here in no time at this rate.

I do hope you've been well?

[violet_wolf]

It wouldn't surprise me.

(Nothing does.)

Do you care about such things?

[her_watchdog]

[Not particularly, but there are appearances to keep up.]

Of course. I've been in this place for some time and I'd like for you to feel welcome.

[violet_wolf]

(Violet takes a moment to look around.)

It's different from the college. (Another sip.) Why did you come to the Violet Wolf house?

[her_watchdog]

Merely curiosity.

[violet_wolf]

It's a long way to travel on mere curiosity.

[her_watchdog]

The experience is often more meaningful than a second-hand account. I wanted to see it with my own eyes.

[violet_wolf]

I am sorry you were treated so poorly. We are not accustomed to guests.

[her_watchdog]

No need to apologize. It was my own fault for not asking permission.

[violet_wolf]

We wouldn't usually give it. (Each house has a sacred code, don't you know?) Mixing colors shouldn't be done on a whim.

[her_watchdog]

I realize that now. Forgive me. I'm still getting used to these things.

[violet_wolf]

You are young. Others forget that.

[her_watchdog]

I'm glad you understand.
