video.

[The video is moving, when it comes on; it's being set aside. It blurs past legs (and torn stockings, a sock slid down a calf, and raspberried bruises), the owner of which seems to be sitting on a curb. When it's settled, it's clear the NV's been nestled in grass, so there are a couple of blades poking into view. But across the way is what's important: a family of small ducks waddling round a fountain. People are walking all around - you can hear them, their chatters and leather toe taps - and children are pulled away from the birds' paths by the quick hands of their mothers. Not many people are leisurely.

Alois' voice is, though, when he speaks.]


Someone from home, come and fetch me, will you? Bring handkerchiefs, and I want to stop for an ice cream come before we go back.

[There's a great sniff, which sounds a little gruesome. In the camera's peripheral, his foot shifts.]

Here is what I learned today, for those who might be none the wiser. I don't think the concept of defending anyone or anything is really real. I think, when it comes down to it, we see something we don't like so we get pissed off.

It's the truth, but it sounds a lot less pure than saying you're defending justice or friends or your good causes, huh?

[He laughs, too, the sound a little biting. A spray of shredded lettuce leaves arches over the camera, and flutters down a little ways a way. Some ducks start to talk and come clamoring for it. Alois shuts off his NV.]
retraced: (what is this I don't even)

[Alois has grown a little taller than the young master he's used to carrying, but he still picks him up with no trouble at all. For all his failures and uselessness, he's in good shape. Gilbert glances back at him to make sure he's secure before standing and starting for home, but oh, Alois, if you want to whine you're going to get that lecture now.]

I won't fall over! And if you want someone to drive you around then call Reim directly next time! Be more grateful!

[But this lecture is delivered as quietly as he dares so that he doesn't risk jostling him, just as he's asked.]
retraced: (psychologically overcast)

[How did they even arrive at this point in the conversation.]

...There's no reason for me to learn how to drive one of those things.

I don't mind this.

[Glancing back over his shoulder.]

Have you stopped bleeding yet?
retraced: (no reply)

[And the truth comes out.]

What was the fight about?
retraced: (when my ears ring)

[Si...lence...]

They were throwing stones at the ducks?

[Is he right?!]
retraced: (come hell)

action.

[personal profile] retraced 2012-11-20 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Uncalled for, but still.]

And that was worth getting into a fight over?
retraced: (and it came to me then)

action.

[It's good that they've come to a red light and are forced to stop and wait for the crosswalk, because if Gil had been walking at this moment, he probably would have stumbled. Of course, he's the last to get the most obvious answer even when it's laid out in front of him.]

Alois...
retraced: (or pull off my skin)

But they didn't do that to her. No one will.

[Because if they did, then Gilbert would be the one to break their hands without a second thought.]

Of course I won't. You -

[Wait.]

Your hand or their hand?
retraced: (curtains drawn)

--You used your shoe?!

[Oh god, how much blood is he going to have to clean out of these clothes.]
retraced: (fmlfmlfml)

action.

[personal profile] retraced 2012-11-20 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
No - don't bother, I'll...I'll clean them up for you...

[Sobbing internally. Why this.]
retraced: (don't you feel like severing everything)

action.

[personal profile] retraced 2012-11-20 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
...You don't need to thank me. Better I do it than Ciel.

[Gilbert's lecture is nothing compared to the one that your fiance will give, Alois.]
retraced: (ankle deep in mud)

[he'll forgive you this awkward moment, bro.]

Not even he could be that cruel. I don't think...
