And? How did you present-day types like my era? Hardly, I'll bet. Don't worry, I agree with you. All things considered, it was shit. That is, unless you were wealthy and well-respected, but even then, I'd be sad to miss plug-in night lights and Angry Birds and ModCloth. Actually, even here was a little forward of when I came from... A little west, too. [Though his Queen's English surely gave that away already.

Alois is all dressed up to go out, just doing up the gold buttons on a winter coat as he stands in front of the NV.] I hope you all understand, [he says, chin tilted down to watch his fingers, and a little bit solemnly,] how lovely we can have it here.

Ciel should be home soon. [His head's up again, and he tugs his coat down to straighten it, and then reaches out of frame. There's a rustling, and when his hands are back in view, they're holding a bouquet of white roses and baby's breath.] I'm going to see him now, and he's feeling better. Should get some cookies from the kitchen before I go... [Cos fuck hospital rules on food. He'll probably end up getting in trouble with the nurses... He reaches out to switch off the video, but pauses to add: ]

Times like these we get our hands dirty, don't we?

Don't say things like that. I like to be able to call you things.

...You got mad because I didn't want you to call me stupid?

Well I - no, not...

What is it?

It's just [but he's drowned out by the sound of the subway overhead announcing his stop. It ends, and he sighs; his quick steps can be heard as he tries to scurry out and away from the loud crowds.]

It's weird when someone finds their most important person, [he says finally, hurried.] It's just weird. [Sad, he means.] I said nevermind it, didn't I?

[A pause.]

Alois, I said it was okay when he does it because I know he doesn't mean it, not because I let him get away with stuff I wouldn't let other people get away with.

I - I don't mean it! [Now he sounds affronted.] Not really! If I meant it, I'd say it a lot worse, like...

You did! You probably don't overall, but you did right then!

Well you called me a jerk! And - and the only people who are allowed to call me a jerk are people who never mean it!

[Which is no one................................]

Well - you didn't apologize so I'm not going to, either!

I promised to give you twenty Timbits when I wouldn't even give Ciel twenty Timbits and you called me a jerk!

Because you called me stupid for not wanting to wear your kind of shorts and show the entire world my—

[Ahem.]

Yeah.

No, I called you dumb for thinking I'd make you. Obviously it would be weird if you showed the entire world your thighs and stuff like I do. [NOT SHY]

It doesn't even matter, you still called me dumb and it had to do with shorts and that's like the worst reason to call someone dumb ever!

I called you dumb because I wanted you to think better of me than that. [It's quiet, since he's in public.]

Whatever. Sorry, then, I guess, even if you're not.

Ugh, I'm going back to Ciel. I'll stay until dark and then they'll have to let me sleep in the waiting room. Good bye.

Fine! Have fun with your - angry birds or whatever!

[c l i c k they're good at this]

[WHATEVER. They are never EVER getting back together.
