★ Cooking them their favorite meal. @ Saint Germain ! ( let her show off her newfound skill thanks to Impey’s teaching )

* . °◞ ❤ ACTS OF AFFECTION.

↪ accepting / @horclogium.★ Cooking them their favorite meal.

In truth, quiet and solitude is something he thinks he may have grown uncomfortable in, to some degree. There’s a part of him that’s become so accustomed to the bustle of constant yelling and moving around the mansion that it feels wrong when such a strong hush falls over its halls — such a silly thing to think about, when the occupants were only out temporarily and would be rejoining those left here as early as tomorrow morning. Still, with two of the four residents ( one of which happens to be a canine, not a person at all ) determined to remain separated from them even now, he can’t help but mull to himself how lonely the dining hall feels.

“You went through quite a bit of trouble for me, Miss Cardia.” Careful not to let his true thoughts reflect on his expression, his thoughtful countenance shifts in favor of a soft, amused smile. It isn’t necessarily feigned, this time : not at face value. As he turns from where he’s pouring tea off to the side to watch her place food down upon the table, he can’t help but feel a note of admiration for how determined she looks handling such a seemingly small task. “There was truly no need to go to such great lengths. I would have been overjoyed to dine with you even if it were a simple meal.” He pauses, finishing his preparations and lifting the tray with two cups to make his way back to the table. “Ah, but I suppose that would not give you the chance to demonstrate the skills you have been honing as of late. Is that it?”

In all actuality, he believes the answer is more in line with the fact she is simply kindhearted. Even though it’s essentially only the two of them for tonight, she still feels the need to create an inviting and friendly atmosphere. Despite the weights on her shoulders and the exhaustive position she’s been placed in within this group, she maintains such a gentle nature. As he sets a tea cup down for her and moves to place his own, he pointedly ignores the subtle pain that thought creates in his chest. He can’t think on her too deeply. Not even during mundane moments such as this.

He finishes as she does, so before she’s able to take her seat, he maneuvers to pull the chair out for her, gesturing for her to take her place before moving over to his own. They’re seated closer together this time around, with no one else to fill in spaces at the rest of the table. He doesn’t particularly mind having her company to himself: if anything, it’s fascinating to see her reactions this closely. She seems rather excited. Admittedly, that alone is sweet in its innocence. Only she among them could be so proud of something so simple — or make him proud of her, in turn, for pulling off what should be second nature. “It looks as if everything turned out nicely. Working around your hands has become easier whilst cooking, then? I’m glad. Impey has said you’ve been enjoying learning in the kitchen, after all. And it’s lovely to see you so pleased with yourself… It is a rare sight.”

He wonders if she’s frustrated he hasn’t mentioned the food she’d laid out yet. He may be acting too cruel: in all honesty, he is trying to tease her a little bit. He rarely has the opportunity to do so among the others. When she’d declared her desire to make his favorite meal, however, he’d been looking forward to seeing how she managed. He didn’t expect it to be excruciatingly difficult, though. For such a lavish man, he could be surprisingly simple, at times. Pasta had been his only response, once she’d finally gotten it out of him … what to do from there had been entirely her choice. And yet, even still, before that…

“Lord,” his smile is dropped for the time being as he bows his head and closes his eyes, one hand pressing against his chest directly above his heart, “bless this meal which we are about to receive.” For just a moment in time, he grows distant from her, lost in his own words as he speaks to the otherwise empty air. As always, the world around him is respectfully quiet as he speaks his usual prayer, “Please forgive us as this meal is consumed for us sinners’ body and mind.” He finishes and stays still for a moment longer before once again looking up. Finally, his attention moves to the food in front of him and the smile returns to his features.

“You’ve prepared everything beautifully.” A compliment meant to praise her beyond just the food looking incredible: it’s an observation intended to reassure her that despite her limitations, she’d done marvelously. “I am grateful that you would do this for me.” Infrequent are instances in which the mystery around him absolves itself, but in that moment, the sentiments he shares with her are completely genuine. There’s no shadow lying beneath his smile, nor far-off look in his eyes. He gazes straight at her, humbled.

But to do so hurts him, deep beneath his facade in a place within him that he does not allow to reach the surface. He does not deserve her generosity, nor is he worthy of sharing such quiet moments in time with someone as wonderful as she. He knows this. And yet, he cannot stop himself from feeling happy in her presence, then.

Finally, he indulges her, if only because he feels as if her impatient, inquiring stare is going to burn a hole through his head. In a way, he thinks it endearingly silly: how she has these little quirks to her expression he doubts she even realizes are there. She can be difficult to read at times, yet ridiculously easy at others. As he delicately allows himself to finally take a small taste of the dish she’d prepared, in the back of his mind, he wonders if she believes that to be true of himself, as well.

A few seconds pass in which he quietly eats, fully aware of her shooting him glances every so often whilst she does the same. It’s only once he’s paused to take a sip of his tea that he puts an end to playing with her, letting the teacup hover before his lips as he speaks. “It’s delicious. Dare I say, I believe you may have even outdone Impey on this one. Perhaps when he returns, the student will become the teacher in this case. Ahah…” He chuckles and takes a drink before lowering the cup back down to its saucer. He reaches out, tenderly leaning over to rest a friendly hand on her shoulder. Only the tips of his fingers touch her, but that is enough, and far more than he should be permitted to begin with.

“From the bottom of my heart . . . I thank you for this kind gesture, Miss Cardia.”

C:R ~VE~ Chapter 55

The wind tosses him back and forth, this thin body swaying from one wall to the next.

“Jonathan.”

He stops moving, holding his body upright against the wind as he slowly looks over his shoulder.

“Jimmy.”

“You asked me here for a chat, and I find you attempting to freeze yourself again,” Aleister shakes his head. “Won’t you close the door, Jonathan?”

Hatteras takes a step back and slowly closes the door, muffling the howling he had been indulging in.

“Now,” Aleister slowly rests his hands atop his cane. “It’s rare for you to ask me for a conversation. Is this about Aronnax-kun’s engagement?”

Hatteras shakes his head. “No, not at all.”

“Hm, you say that confidently while still wearing her scarf.”

Hatteras slowly lifts a hand and trails his fingertips across the fabric, as though he himself needs to confirm that this is the case.

“Would that make things more interesting for you, Jimmy?” he asks.

Aleister looks over the man standing in front of him before slowly shaking his head.

“No, that would make it a rather stale story, I’m afraid.”

“Then you should be relieved,” Hatteras replies sharply.

“Haha… you’re so defensive. Very well, then. How may I assist?”

“The wind will be dying down in a few days,” says Hatteras.

“You’ve always had an uncanny knack for predicting the wind’s behavior,” says Aleister. “Is that all you wanted to say, then?”

“Impatient,” Hatteras mutters. “Am I keeping you from something more interesting now?”

“Yes,” Aleister replies.

Hatteras opens his mouth to laugh, but there’s no sound. No sound and no smile.

“I will keep this quick,” he says. “When the wind dies down, I will be very weak. I don’t know what Aronnax and the others will do at the time, but I must ask for your protection.”

Aleister looks at Hatteras like he’s honestly considering it. Then, he closes his eyes and sighs.

“I’m afraid I can’t do that, Jonathan.”

Hatteras nods silently.

“So this is it, then,” he says. “Very well.”

Aleister chuckles.

“Is that all you have to say, Jonathan?”

“Your cooperation has always come with a time limit, Jimmy. You made sure I knew that.”

An uneasy silence settles over the both of them, until Hatteras surprisingly speaks again: “I’m just surprised that it was Dakkar, as he is now.”

“Don’t misunderstand me, Jonathan. This isn't about favoritism,” replies Aleister. “I know how hard it is to try to create a new family. Nemo-kun must be in a lot of pain right now.”

Hatteras turns around to look at Aleister. “You do know, don’t you? Yes, you lost your family, too... or...”

Hatteras leans forward, tilting his head curiously. “Or are you perhaps referring to that man... the love of your life?”

Aleister gives a shrug. “Who knows.”

Hatteras tilts his head further, boring into Aleister’s gaze with his own. He withdraws quickly, though, when he sees the impenetrable blackness of Aleister’s pupils.

“Dakkar doesn’t seem to be in pain,” says Hatteras, quickly inhaling to regain some semblance of his usual coldness. “I suppose that won’t be the case when you’re through. You do love shattering things that are already broken. But, tell me, Jimmy, for old time’s sake... what do you plan on doing with the Professor?”

-----

There was a part of me that was hoping that, for at least tonight, we could keep our engagement to ourselves. It would be a secret just for the two of us.

But as Nemo and I entered the hangar, he squeezed my hand and looked at me with all the unrestrained delight of a child at Christmas. I knew I couldn’t keep that joy contained.

I surprised myself when I took a step forward, still holding his hand as I yell: “Everybody...! We’re engaged!!”

My voice is easily drowned out by the noise of the mechanics, so Nemo takes a deep breath, letting go of my hand so I can cover my ears.

“WEEEEEEE----’RE GEEEEEEE-TTING MAAAAAAAAAAAA-RRIED---!!!”

The first person to poke her head out from the airship is Cardia, her eyes shining. Next comes Smith, covered in oil and grinning like a loon. Finally, Conseil practically falls out of the airship in an attempt to scramble to get a look at us.

Nemo grins and gives a thumbs up at Conseil, who is only being held up by a smirking Ned Land.

“Please put me down, Ned,” says Conseil.

“Here you go, sweetheart, try not to bust any blood vessels,” says Ned as he deposits Conseil safely on the ground.

I take a deep breath and look over at Nemo.

“Nemo, think you’d mind checking on Barbicane for a moment?”

Nemo grins back at me before giving me a ‘pat-pat’ on the head. “Good luuuuuck~!”

I watch Nemo bound off to meet Barbicane. The two of them embrace warmly, clapping each other on the back and laughing like best friends who hadn’t seen each other in years.

“Professor...?”

I look back at Conseil, who’s staring at me with arched eyebrows.

“Conseil?” I parrot back at him.

He purses his lips like he isn’t sure how to respond. Finally, he simply shrugs his shoulders and says: “I’m not surprised.”

“I suppose not,” I say.

He shakes his head. “No, it’s not that the engagement was predictable. I’m not surprised simply because your intended came running through the hangar screaming that the divinity of science had smiled upon him, and he was going to propose to his beloved.

I slowly nod.

Yes, that sounds like my intended.

“In all honesty,” Conseil continues. “I had thought that such matters wouldn’t be brought up until we all returned to Steel London.”

My posture relaxes and I smile. “Steel London? Not France?”

Conseil clears his throat and adjusts his bow tie.

“Don’t worry, Conseil, I won’t say anything,” my smile turns into a smirk.

“I should hope not,” says Conseil with a dignified sniff. “If that lunatic or any of his friends found out that I’m not completely opposed to this madness, they might think that I’m one of them!”

“Aww, sweetheart, you ARE one of us!”

Conseil sputters as a pair of muscular arms wrap around him from behind.

“NED!”

Conseil grits his teeth, trying to wiggle away, but eventually he slumps against his lover’s chest.

“When did you start affiliating yourself with them?” he mutters.

“Probably ‘round the time we were all stuffed on a tiny train together,” Ned ruffles Conseil’s hair. “Say, you think that cutie Cardia will call me ‘big brother’ too?”

“Hooooooooooooold on!”

It’s like the very phrase ‘big brother’ summoned him, and Nemo comes crashing into the conversation with all the grace of a battle tank.

“The role of ‘big brother’ has already been delegated to meeeee, the genius scientist Neeeeeeeeemo!” he juts a finger out towards Ned. “Besiiiiides, the way you said that sounds v-e-r-y suspicious! The role of ‘big brother’ is--”

“Nobody cares,” Conseil’s voice is flat.

But Nemo keeps on going, thoroughly lecturing Ned on the importance of familial roles.

“Hmph! A rotten big brother and a rotten assistant, bwa---hahahahaha! What a pair!”

“Hey, hey, prey shouldn’t badmouth the predator... or something...” Ned trails off, scrunching his nose. “I mean... man, are you really prey at this point? Sweetheart?”

Ned looks down at Conseil for guidance.

Conseil grits his teeth and tries to look anywhere but at Nemo. He manages to hiss out something, but it’s unintelligible.

“Sweetheart?” Ned tilts his head.

“No.” Conseil finally spits out that one syllable.

“No?” Ned scrunches his nose. “I mean, makes sense, but... this is the first time prey’s gotten away from me...”

“Don’t hurt yourself trying to think too hard,” Nemo rolls his eyes so hard that his entire head moves. “Anyone capable of basic logic can see that I haven’t ‘gotten away’. See?”

He snaps his fingers in front of Ned’s nose. “I’m right here!”

“But that’s not what I--”

“Just let it go, Ned, my friend. Just let it go.” Conseil shakes his head, though he looks a little relieved. Maybe just a little bit.
