Did it have to do with 01?

[crusnik02.livejournal.com]

No, it doesn't have anything to do with him. [It's more curt than he wants it to be, but then he takes a sit of his tea and repeats himself.] No, it doesn't have to do anything with him. It's just a different department.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... All right.

[He offers her a hasty smile and drinks some more tea.

... Awkward.]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

[stirring her tea and taking occasional sips, but now she's stuck on Cain and how she must fight him!!!!! and no one will talk about him!!!!!]

[crusnik02.livejournal.com]

Please don't take this the wrong way, Azula, but please don't talk about him anymore. Not to me or to Lilith.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't talk about him to her.

[well, sometimes she does, when they're on the subject]

[crusnik02.livejournal.com]

Please, Azula, never even mention what- [he looks around and drops his voice so that only she can hear.] we are or who we are to anyone, alright? It will cause Caterina more trouble than it's worth.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't. I know that. I protect her.

[crusnik02.livejournal.com]

Such a good girl, I'm very happy that Lilith has such a good friend like you. She hasn't had one since Elisa. [.... he didn't even realize he said it.]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

The queen?

[crusnik02.livejournal.com]

[There's that wide eyed expression, like he let something slip.] Did I say that name?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't you have?

[crusnik02.livejournal.com]

I just haven't - oh look, we're out of scones.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... It's not a secret; I know who she is. Was.

[crusnik02.livejournal.com]

No, it's not that ... I just never knew her as that.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

What did you know her as?

[crusnik02.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't answer, but rather eats his scone rather slowly.]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

[she knows a little bit about his past from Lilith, but mostly she remembers a video post during one of the viruses, featuring a woman who called Cain, Seth, and Abel monsters]

... Hm.

Sometimes people change their minds about things.

[crusnik02.livejournal.com]

I don't think she'd ever change her opinion about me.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She probably would if she met you now, though.

[crusnik02.livejournal.com]

I doubt it. [there's a bitter laugh.] Oh dear, I suppose my time is up.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... I changed my opinion.

[crusnik02.livejournal.com]

[That earns her a smile.] Thank you Azula, you're very kind.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

[she just gives a little nod]
