Come, sit back, and grab a cup of tea.

Oh…..-Natalia chuckled softly- Hello there- -She really didn’t know what to say, finding that many people at once was odd.-

-Earl gave a small wave, a fairly curious expression on his face-  Greetings there.  How are you this fine day?

 2pmerka SAID: YEAH. SUP? -RETURNS THE SMILE (THOUGH IT LOOKS MORE LIKE A SMIRK)-

Well I’m not dead yet.  I suppose I could be doing much worse.  -Looks like someone was a bit bored.  But that’s fine.  Earl could use a bit of entertainment himself-  What about you?  I haven’t seen you since that fateful day.

That’s always good t’hear, yeah. -small shrug- ‘m good, I guess. No complaints. -kinda lonely, misses his Arthur- …

‘bit hungry, actually.

If you have to guess about it, I don’t think it’s as good as you hope it may be.  

I have a good idea.

Why not feed us both?  -Sweet sweet smile-  You’ll gain a conversation partner and I’ll not starve.

Looks like you’ll be joining me and My roommate.

Oh dear. Not him. But as long as you’re there, I think it’s bearable.

As bearable as eternal damnation can be, at least.  Nice to have friends with you, though.

We’ll suffer with the centaurs and all. At least it’s like Narnia but I guess it’s calming that many of us know each other there.

Narnia of hell… I like it.  We’ll make a code with our screams so at least we can talk.  As long as you can pick out my voice from those of millions, I think we’ll manage.

Do you want some tea— or maybe repent for your sins while you’re at it?

Tea would be lovely, thank you very much.  Alfred you don’t look good there.  Would you like to sit down?  I can find a corpse around here that doesn’t reek too badly.

I can find a place for you to confess.

Let’s just hope you don’t burst into flames.

You’re… worried about this, aren’t you?

I bet everyone knew you were an American.

Maybe that’s why you say you’re not kinky… you just don’t know what is out there.  Well why not start small… A blindfold to cover your eyes.  Rob you of your sight as other senses heighten.  -Puts the cell back-  I think I will.

-Alfred you horrible person.  Earl’s never going to notice until much later-  Well… I suppose that makes sense.  America, the most powerful nation to date, would be thought to take control in every situation.  However… -He gives a quick kiss, making sure it wouldn’t lead back to where he ended it-  Control is having a choice.  You choose to let me lead sometimes and there’s nothing bad about that.

I hope they did.

//Frowns at him.// Or maybe it’s ‘cuz I’m innocent. … Blind- really? That sounds weird. Like, wouldn’t ya’ wanna see the other person! I’d wanna see you. //Pauses for a second.// Lemme see the pic!

//Kisses him back quickly and smirks.// I love when you take the lead, baby. Gives me a break from, like you said, bein’ in control of everything. ‘Sides, you’re better at this stuff than me.

May god have mercy on their souls.

Innocence can easily be corrupted.  Though what is innocent… and what is ignorant?  -Earl just smiles and shrugs-  You wouldn’t see them… but hell, you’ll feel them.  It’s also needs a bit of trust.  It’s usually combined with a few more.  Eh?  -Take out his cell and flashes the pic on the screen-

Makes sense, really.  Besides, you look so lovely beneth me…  -He chuckles, twirling Alfred’s hair in between his fingers again-  Practice makes perfect.  -Earl responds simply, feeling a bit proud Alfred would say such things-  You’re getting better with each moment.

Why do most people assume I want something from them, you included?  

This is not an accusation, just a general bit of curiosity.  

Never met anyone that didn’t want something outta someone else. Kinda the way life works.

Well the most I could want out of you now is information, though I wouldn’t have even thought of it if you hadn’t brought attention to yourself.

Lets start this properly at least.  Not too hard, right?  Hello.  The name’s Earl, or at least that’s what I would like to be called.  Would you be kind enough to reveal yours?

Alfred was happy all the time even before he met me, though! [ he laughs, shaking his head as if it’s a silly thought ]

And…oh! That’s easy.

I used to live with soldiers. When they were on my fort I made sure to memorize all their names and ranks. There were up to three hundred of them during the second great war.

So, compared to that, remembering my family is easy cake.

Who’s to say you don’t make his day a bit brighter, hm?  You can be a reason to smile for him.  -Earl only shrugs his shoulders, an amused expression-

-Earl blinks, getting over his surprise as he thinks it over for a second.  It did make sense-  I suppose that’s true.  You have quite a head for that sort of thing.  I don’t think I could do that.

I guess that makes sense—but I don’t know. I mean, I know he cares for me an awful lot, and I know I make him happy, but I dunno if I do that much for him, Mister Earl. [he laughs, shaking his head as he leans back a little bit, palms on the floor]

Well, yeah! I mean, it’s easy to remember. I just need to practice it in my head. It’s not too hard.

I like doing it. 

-Earl arches his eyebrow, amused-  You’re there for him.  You give him insights and just let him relax.  After all, you’re his brother.  Brothers have to stick together, right?  -Don’t put yourself down so quickly-

It’s not one of my talents… at least when it comes to that level. I find it impressive!

… Say… after all that, I’m a bit hungry.  Would you like to go get some icecream?

I’ve been a very naughty boy, apparently.  Looks like I’ll be on Level Seven if anyone needs me.

BABE.

DO WE NEED TO HAVE A TALK.

Sure.  What would you like to talk about?  Might have to speak a bit louder over the screams of the damned.

Do you want some tea— or maybe repent for your sins while you’re at it?

-shakes head-

Is a secret.

But if you see me on the news any time soon, it probably worked.

If you really are… it would make sense to practice on me before you do this. The massage part at least.

-That’s fairly lucky!-

-Please tell me you’re a fan of the classic Sherlock Stories?  As for novels… well I know a few that combine modern facts with just a tad of sci fi to get a believable yet strangely unsettling setting and plot-

-You smoke?-

*And will be an earful*

*Yes, yes I am. It’s one of the few novels I really do fancy. Other than that I just read it for entertainment and other things. I’ve read some of that, but I like classical novels and things out of science fiction*

*Seldom times, yes*

-At least someone is about to yell-

-Well I’m not going to force you to read novels if it’s not your thing (maybe short stories?) but it wouldn’t hurt to try.  I have a few ideas that might work-

-I can say the same for myself-

 unclesamgotanamechange SAID: YEAH! WE JUST TALKED ‘BOUT CARS, Y’KNOW. HE DIDN’T SEEM TO KNOW THAT I’M AMERICA THOUGH-

… Most humans wouldn’t know you were an immortal personification unless you told them.  -Chuckles-  Did you just sound a little down about that?

I like when people know! Saves me a weird talk ‘bout why I’ve been alive since the 1600’s! 

Well maybe you’re their first introduction into such a world!  After all, someone had to have that same talk with me… though I got it in bits and pieces  really.
