[closed] someone is feeling famished

Who: Reign Fear (

eaudevamp) & Diva (

colorature)
What: A certain young lady is getting hungry, and a certain young man provides.
When: Mid-March
Where: Diva's place, Olympia
Warning(s): None for now, will add; blood-drinking?

[ When Reign had received Diva's text, he'd been undeniably worried, half over what further mayhem she might have caused, and the fact that something may have happened to her. But it turned out that she was bored, and hungry. In addition to that, her guardian ~~babysitter~~ Solomon, was currently busy at work.

And thus Reign decided to bring some supply of blood for her. None of those synthetic ones that Orbiters provided, of course, because he knew just how much Diva hated those. He took two glass bottles with him in a bag, making certain to have it warmed up before that. As much as he was worried about leaving his pet giraffe, Scorch, at home, Reign felt it was even less safer to take the animal along. So Reign made certain to leave enough food for the giraffe and gave it lots of loving before he headed for Diva's place.

He followed the direction of the address she gave him, arriving soon enough with a knock on the door. ]

Diva, Your Majesty? It's me, Reign.

Well, I don't have any particular song in mind. Maybe one that you like to sing. Or the one you sang in Wyver.

[ Perhaps Diva's song wouldn't have any effect on Reign. Who knows. ]

Very well, I'll bring the book when I next visit with more bottles for you.

[ Bottles of blood, if Solomon couldn't find more reserves. ]

Okay Reign. Do so. I'll be quite pleased if you do.

_{[Just, y'know, if he had any doubt. Deciding to down the rest of the content of her glass, she wipes her mouth with the edge of her hand before standing. It's not hard for her to pick a song, and after a moment of composing herself she parts her lips to begin to sing.

It's a minor melody, the lamenting sadness and pining of the lyrics shining through. What's immediately apparent is the haunting, vexing quality of her voice. It's impossible to do anything but give her one's complete and undivided attention. The longer the song continues the more Reign may feel the desire to do just what she seems to be begging in the lyrics, to return the love to her that seems to have left in the first place. There will be an overwhelming feeling of pining, of wanting to soothe her apparent distress...

For a being who knows nothing of love, she sure can sing about it.]}

All right!

[ Reign replied happily enough, pleased to continue be of service to Diva. If there was anything that would make her happy or content, he'll do the best of his ability.

When Diva stood to sing, Reign sat up straighter, and though he couldn't understand the lyrics of the song, the haunting emotion from her voice was enough to make his eyes water. For all of Diva's childishness and occasional violence, Reign could acutely feel how lonely she was.

Before he knew it, and by the time Diva finished her song, Reign had wordlessly put his arms around her in a comforting embrace. Diva may even have noticed a few stray tears streaking down Reign's cheek. ]

_{[She's so wrapped up in her song that she hasn't picked up on the fact Reign himself has begun to tear up. It's only when his arms find their way around her that she's startled back into the present. It's unexpected, something she wouldn't have imagined him to do...and yet it's not unpleasant. Gingerly she returns the embrace, giving him a small pat to the back. In contrast her own eyes are dry. She's more confused than anything else. He liked it, right?]}

...Are you sad?

[ Reign didn't just like the song, he love it. There was a haunting and aching quality to it that he found so familiar.

He shook his head, cheek brushing against the side of her head before slowly pulling back He wiped the tears with the back of his hand, smiling sheepishly. ]

No, I'm not. It's just... the song you sang. It's very beautiful. Well, a bit sad, somewhat lonely. That's what the song made me feel.

Oh...well! I'm glad you liked it!

_{[At least she seems cheery.]}

It is a pretty song, isn't it? I've always been fond of Lully's music, so I made it a point to learn a lot of it.

[ At least indeed. Reign wouldn't Diva to be affected by his sudden bout of sadness, so he was quick to put on a smile. ]

It really is. I really do think you should sing more. Maybe I could check and see if Shades Darker is hiring. It would be lovely to hear you sing.

[ Besides, it would probably be a good place for Diva to find human blood as well, hopefully without fatally killing them. ]

If they are, I think I might try it...if Solomon allows it.

_{[Pesky Chevalier.]}

I like singing. It makes me happy.

Excellent! I'm sure the patrons would love to hear your songs as well.

[ Hopefully Solomon would allow Diva. It would be quite a pity to hide Diva's talent. ]

I'm glad to hear that. I don't know anyone from my world who can sing so well, or have such a beautiful voice.

_{[Who knows what Solomon'll say. She might have to sing happy songs though, lest the patrons tumble down into fits of despair.]}

It's special, my song. I'm not surprised you've never heard another voice like it.

_{[Still, it's clear she's proud. Pride looks good on her, the way she wears it. Better than a look of childish mania by far.]}

[ That would be bad for business and Diva's reputation. Perhaps there could be some way to persuade Solomon. Hmm... ]

If I dare say so, your voice is the one and only in this current world.

[ Diva being prideful or childish was tons better than when she was angry or being violent. Reign definitely preferred her this way. ]

Oh, maybe when I open my perfume shop, I could invite you to sing as an opening?

_{[Oh he may dare. This is...nice. Company is nice. It hadn't just been blood she'd been hungry for - attention had been part of the desire she'd had as well.]}

Of course! _{[It's an exciting prospect, one that has her suddenly clasping his hands in hers, giving them a squeeze.]} I'll sing anything you'd like!

[ Even Reign was getting excited as well at the prospect of Diva singing during the opening. It wasn't just because she was good at it, but having gained some reputation in Wyver, certainly her name would help advertise his shop.

#justbusinessthings

He squeezed back gently, a giddy smile on his lips. ]

Then something happy and cheerful, encourage them to buy my products~ Oh, I may even have your special perfume prepared for you to put on.

[ Yes, make Diva the poster girl. ]

_{[Yes, make her the poster girl. You won't regret it.]}

I can do that. I'll sing and work them into a frenzy. All they'll want, more than anything, is to obtain what you've to offer them. It won't be hard.

Ah, hopefully I'll have enough stock for them all. It wouldn't do if they suddenly go on a riot because I don't have any supply left.

[ Diva please control, just a bit. Though Reign felt he didn't need to worry too much. ]

_{[What is control can you eat it?]}

They won't riot don't worry so much Reign! They'll just be excited.

All right! Then I will leave that task in your hand when the time comes.

[ Oh, look at the time! ]

I should be leaving soon. Scorch will be hungry and I need to feed him.

[ Reign gave Diva another hug, giving her a smile. ]

If you need any more supply of blood, you can just message me. I'll bring the book about flowers as well.

You're leaving?

_{[Look at the time indeed. In fact, she wants to punch the clock suddenly, now that Reign's decided he wants to leave.]}

Oh...If you must.

[ Now Reign felt bad about leaving, but his pet would be hungry. ]

I have to, but I'll always come when you call, all right?

[ He leaned down and kissed Diva's cheek gently, patting her head. ]

In the mean time, you can think about all the songs you want to sing, yes? Please give Solomon my regards too.

_{[She says nothing at that, not thinking of songs or giving Solomon regards or anything of the sort.]}

Solomon is supposed to come when I call. He can't disobey me. It's in his blood...but you're not a Chevalier. What if I call and you don't come?

[ Reign gave Diva his more serious look, his hands on her shoulder with a slight squeeze for emphasis. ]

My Queen, even if I'm not your Chevalier, I, Reign Fear, give you my word that I'll come when you call.

[ A pause. ]

I'll do my best, of course, unless I'm held back.

_{[She's supposed to be reassured and while the thought crosses her mind to make him stay...she knows there's no point. Flopping back into her seat she deflates, looking suddenly as small as she really is.

Well, he gave her his word. She'd just have to take it.]}

Okay.

[ With that, Reign gave Diva another kiss, this time on her forehead. Then he bid her a good day and went on his way.

Hopefully she wouldn't throw too much of a tantrum. Oh well, Solomon would have to deal with her instead. ]
