[ Video ] 2: Pool of (Gilbert's!) Tears

[maddeninghatter]

[ This bright Sunday morning finds Gilbert Nightray sitting behind the wheel of a black jaguar convertible. ]

I'm realizing that I've been a rut, lately. All I do is look after my young master, fret about things uselessly, and work.

[ It isn't his car. ]

So I thought I'd go for a drive, reacquaint myself with the city. Would anyone care to join me? You could point out some things that I've been taking for granted.

[ In fact, he's never driven a car before. ]

I'd be happy to exchange a lift in exchange for a bit of tour guiding, what do you say?

[ Xerxes Break is "borrowing" Ciel Phantomhive's car and Gilbert's body. The feed ends with the sound of a powerful engine growwwwwwwwling to life! ]

[ He's there a little while later. He drives fast, but he's got to pick up the flowers first (and, probably, flirt a little with Ino, it would be a shame to let these good looks go to waste). ]

Hellooooooo~! ♥

[reassures]

[Nill is waiting outside the building, leaning against it slightly and tapping away on her NV. She lifts her head when "Gilbert" shows up though, and kind of... stares a little... that sound coming from Gilbert is really, really strange.

She lifts a hand to wave.]

[maddeninghatter]

[ Whoa. Wings? Gilbert, you know some interesting people! Break collects himself, and swings out of the car. ]

Pleased to meet you, Miss Nill. I am Xerxes Break.

[ He bows, with a flourish of GIlbert's long coat. He produces the bouquet. ]

These are from Mister Yosuke, by way of apology for "scaring" you. I've noooooo idea what that's about, but this is the message I was given. ♥

[reassures]

[It seems Gilbert knows some interesting people, too. Nill pauses a little, and reaches to take the bouquet. She brushes her fingers over the flowers, before looking up at Break. For scaring her? ...It must have been for that stupid thing he pulled in the hospital.

After a moment, she lives her NV, with words already typed up on the screen.]

Thank you.

[maddeninghatter]

[ He glances from the screen, to her, to the screen again. It's clear - she doesn't speak. ]

You're welcome.

[ He nods, and turns away, back towards the car. He'll remember this brief moment in one day: her eyes, her hair, her little wings. ]

Byeeeeee~☆

[ Because after today, he will most likely never see her again. Nor ever hear her.

VROOOOOOOM! He speeds away. ]

[reassures]

[...She wishes she'd told him to drive more carefully. Alas.]
