Crimson Day

[Chao Qiang]

the things that you might like don't grow inside of me Chao was glad that Oceanus was ok with getting what he usually ordered, though he’d feel dreadful if she didn’t like it. He supposed he’d have to just wait and see. Though something she said stuck out in Chao’s mind. The way he was treating her was new to her. But why? What was her home life like? He knew, more or less, about Kemono and how dreadful he was; but was there more than that? His face bore a concerned look while the princess fidgeted with her dress and looked down. Was everything ok? Then she looked up at him, but only for a short while. She looked away from him. Ma’lady? Is everything ok? Are you not feeling well? He asked, concern and worry in his voice. Moments later, two bowls were placed on the table, one for each. It was a simple noodle and beef soup. Then it really began to feel like a date, but between a butler and his master. So… it wasn’t a date. It was an impossibility for it to be a date. Chao moved to catch some of the noodles with his chopsticks, but stopped and set them aside. He had other things on his mind. Oceanus… I’d like to tell you something before we start the long term as butler and master. Something that might… change how you look at me. Oceanus, you’re so beautiful and every time I look at you, my heart beats so fast that it feels like it’s going to burst. When I see you smile, even though we’ve been together for such a short time, I feel like everything is right. He stated, looking across the table at the girl. If you’d like, I can contact your father and resign… But, if you’d still have me, I’ll serve you until the day I die. Forever your’s. He smiled at the girl, one of his hands sliding across the table, his hand open and ready to take her’s. If you’ll have me. @tag

Oceanus had no idea how obvious her actions were. "Ma’lady? Is everything ok? Are you not feeling well?" asked Chao. Oceanus looked at him instantly wide-eyed. "O-oh. Y-ye-yeah. I'm f-fine." stuttered the female, not able to stop the quakiness of her voice. She was so nervous. About what though? Thankfully the two dishes arrived at the table. She welcomed the distraction as she picked up her chopsticks and was about to begin eating before Chao started speaking.

"Oceanus… I’d like to tell you something before we start the long term as butler and master. Something that might… change how you look at me. Oceanus, you’re so beautiful and every time I look at you, my heart beats so fast that it feels like it’s going to burst. When I see you smile, even though we’ve been together for such a short time, I feel like everything is right." said Chao. Oceanus could do nothing but sit there still and blush as he spoke, her chopsticks still holding the noodles. "If you’d like, I can contact your father and resign… But, if you’d still have me, I’ll serve you until the day I die. Forever your’s." said the male with a smile. A smile that she could not resist smiling back. She saw that he slid his hand around the table, offering to take hers. "If you’ll have me."

The princess placed her hand in his and she smiled gently. "You're very sweet. B-but I don't see how this would change things between us. You've been nothing but nice to me." said the female, confused. Wasn't this called complimenting someone? Why would compliments change anything between a butler and a princess? Oceanus looked at Chao, her expression now confused. "I don't understand why you're talking about resigning... I want you with me. Forgive me if that sounds selfish." said the female quietly, withdrawing her hand from Chao's hesitantly. She wasn't sure how long she was supposed to hold onto his hand. Or the meaning behind it or even if it meant anything. She really was clueless about this world of love. She didn't even know this is love or that Chao had semi-confessed his feelings for her.

the things that you might like don't grow inside of me He was glad that Oceanus said she was ok. He was worried. Though, her reaction while he spoke was… almost worrying. She was completely still, until she took his hand. Her smile wiped away every fear he had. Sadly, it seemed like his message didn’t… quite get through. Maybe that was for the best. She might mistake his intentions for ill ones, which would be absolutely dreadful. She just thought he was complimenting her, which he kind of was, but he was trying to just get across a few little words. “I think I love you”. Maybe her not getting it was for the best. He’d just bottle up his emotions a little and keep going through life. Maybe he’d try again at a later date. No, ma’lady, it doesn’t sound selfish. I want to be your’s as well. He said in reply, smiling big and withdrawing his hand and beginning to eat. I’m sorry to have distracted you, Ma’lady. He said with a slight bow. His eyes started to scan the room. A lot of eyes were on the two. The patrons got what he said. He could only smile and return to eating. It didn’t take long for Chao to finish his meal. Upon finishing, he leaned back and rubbed his stomach after stretching some. That was good. As good as always. He laughed slightly, almost awkwardly. Ma’lady, what would you like to do now? It’s getting kind of late, if you’d like to go home and take a bath before we go to bed. What we do is completely up to you. I am your’s to do with as you please. He smiled. His smile carried with it his true feelings. His smile said “I love you.” Where to next, lo… My Lady? @tag

"No, ma’lady, it doesn’t sound selfish. I want to be your’s as well." said Chao, making Oceanus smile. "Ah. I'm glad." whispered the female, still smiling. "I’m sorry to have distracted you, Ma’lady." said the butler. Oceanus smiled and waved her hand as if it was nothing. "It's okay, you probably saved me from burning my tongue anyways." said the girl as she took her first bite into her first exotic meal of the day. The flavor was simple yet delicious. "Hmmmm~ This is good." said the female, her mouth full. How unlady-like. She realized this and blushed darker. She swallowed and murmured an 'excuse me'.

Chao finished his meal before her. "That was good. As good as always." laughed the man. Oceanus smiled and finished her meal shortly after. Chao seemed to be acting awkwardly. Was it something that she said? "Ma’lady, what would you like to do now? It’s getting kind of late, if you’d like to go home and take a bath before we go to bed. What we do is completely up to you. I am your’s to do with as you please." said the male with a smile. "Where to next, lo… My Lady? " Oceanus didn't notice that he had almost called her something else. Oceanus placed her chopsticks off to the side and placed a finger on her lips lightly as if she was thinking seriously. "Hmmm... I think a bath sounds wonderful." said the female, letting out a little yawn. She was tired also, it had been a long day of traveling. She stood up from her seat and stretched until she felt a jolt of pain in her lower back almost making her yelp out. She'd have to heal that a little bit in the bath tonight.

The two walked back to the house where Oceanus greeted with her pet who was overly excited to see her. "Hey boy~ It's nice too see you." said Oceanus happily as Animus licked her face emitting a giggle out of her. She turned to Chao, "Would you please run a warm bath for me?" asked the female, still playing with her pet. She would go when Chao declared that it was time for her bath.

the things that you might like don't grow inside of me Chao smiled rather big. Oceanus enjoyed some of his favorite food. For some reason, that made him extremely happy. Like he had accomplished something. After she was finished eating, Oceanus said that a bath sounded nice; so Chao hopped up to help the girl out of her chair, but she stood on her own with a stretch. He watched as her limbs reached high until there was something that made her look like she was in pain. What had happened? He’d ask in the privacy of their house, in case Oceanus was embarrassed by what it was. Maybe it was the reason she was in Republic City. Upon arriving back at their house, Animus greeted Oceanus and Chao got to hear the girl giggle. How adorable she was. He snapped back to reality when Oceanus asked him to ready her bath. Yes, Lady Oceanus. He answered before vanishing to the bathroom. The girl said warm, so he made it as comfortably warm as he could. He placed a towel next to the tub on a small table along with a few little hand towels. Once everything was prepared, he peeked out the door and called to his master. Ma’lady! You’re bath is ready. He smiled at her as she came to the door and, once she was directly in front of him, he bowed. Ma’lady, I do hope the water is comfortable. Will you be requiring any help with your bath? The butler questioned, only realizing what he had asked after the fact. Part of him wished oh so hard that she’d say yes, but another part begged her to say no. Then he remembered. Oh, Lady Oceanus… You looked in pain earlier, what happened? Is there anything I can do? @tag

While Chao had gone off to prepare her a bath, Oceanus had kept on petting her direwolf. The jet black wolf nudged at her hand, begging for more petting. Oceanus smiled warmly at her pet who had been with her for many years. "Ma’lady! You’re bath is ready." Oceanus looked up and headed toward the bathroom. "Ma’lady, I do hope the water is comfortable. Will you be requiring any help with your bath?" asked her butler. Oceanus looked at him, thinking of anything she could possibly need help with. "Ah.. u-uhm I don't think so... I can waterbend so I think I can take care of myself for now..." said the female shyly.

"Oh, Lady Oceanus… You looked in pain earlier, what happened? Is there anything I can do? " asked the male. She froze. Oceanus looked at him. How could he possibly know? "U-uhm.. w-well back home a firebender attacked me and th-that's the re-reason why I'm here and w-why you-you're hired. I have a big b-burn on my b-back." explained the female. "I heal it with my water every night." whispered the girl. "I'll be back..." said the girl softly as she disappeared into the bathroom with Animus following her. Once the doors were closed. Oceanus let out a sigh. She didn't like talking about her experience with the firebender. She hated fire. She hated burns. And she knew the burn on her back will turn into a scar. She wouldn't dare to tell anyone that it was Kemono's doing to send the firebender to her. After she had talked to him about how disrespectful he was when he started to change. He wanted to instill fear into her that she'd never leave him. And it had worked.

The girl slipped into the bath after shredding her clothes, the warm water washing away her bad memories. She let out a sigh and closed her eyes, forcing herself to relax. The female brought her hands behind her back where she focused the water touching her burn to turn bright blue. Pain from the burn slipped away. Oceanus kept this up for a few moments as the burn slowly shrank. After she was done, she could tell that there was still a big portion of the burn left over. Then she resumed her bath. After about thirty minutes, she stepped out of the bath and wrapped a towel around her body while grabbing another towel to dry her hair. In the process of drying her hair, she peeked out from the door and walked into her room, throwing the wet towel on to the bed while still holding up the towel that wrapped around her body. "U-uhm.. I need a set of pjs..." said the princess softly, tugging tightly on her towel as if was hiding something. She was hiding something. She wouldn't want Chao to see the mark that the firebender had left.

the things that you might like don't grow inside of me So he was right. The pain was the reason she was there. Chao gritted his teeth behind a concerned mask. Let him get ahold of those firebenders. He’d make them rue the day they harmed his lov…. Master. Once Oceanus had disappeared into the bathroom; Chao’s fist raised into the air and he came within inches of punching the wall. Just one day and he was already this protective. Luckily, he stopped. Deep breath. Deep breath. Deep breath. Regain composure. Everything would be ok. If a firebender were to set foot in this house with ill intentions, the morgue would be picking bits of metal out of their carcass. Then Chao snapped back to reality. He’d forgotten something. A change of clothes! How could he forget!? He had time, at the very least. He had to make the most of it. Chao retired to the Master’s room and began putting up her clothing. Hanging what needed hanging and folding what needed folding. He picked out a nice set of pajamas and set them aside, along with all the other necessary garments. Then he waited, next to the bed and the stack of clothing. 30 minutes ticked by and Chao hadn’t moved. He heard light footsteps approached and then watched as Oceanus opened the door and threw one of her towels aside, commenting on how she needed pajamas. Forgive me, mistress. How could I forget your clothing? I’m such a fool. I have put up all of your clothing and set aside your pajamas, ma’lady. I can help dress you, if you wish. He stated, once again only realizing that he’d said something strange after the fact. His eyes turned from soft to serious in a second. Ma’lady, I must beg you to show me your scar. He said, dropping to one knee before his master. He looked up and she signaled a confirmation of his request. The male stood, a happy look on his face and he circled around the girl and she lowered the towel just enough for him to see the burn. The only imperfection on her beautiful skin. The butler leaned in slightly and gently kissed her burn. Ma’lady… Thank you. I will protect you. If you call my name, I’ll come running. If I’m not there already. He said with a big smile before standing and kissed the girl on top of her head. He had to adjust his posture, as he had just seen a girl he happened to think was beautiful’s naked back. An… unfortunate side-effect of being a male. He cursed himself in his mind. @tag

"Forgive me, mistress. How could I forget your clothing? I’m such a fool. I have put up all of your clothing and set aside your pajamas, ma’lady. I can help dress you, if you wish." said Chao. Oceanus smiled, "It's alright, and I'll gladly accept your help with dressing me." said the female, feeling like she needed to put him to use with this process at least. "Ma’lady, I must beg you to show me your scar." said the male dropping to his one knee. Oceanus froze in her place. Not sure what to sure here, her smile fading. But she saw his serious look. He really wanted to see it. Silently, she nodded. She closed her eyes when she revealed the burn to him. Then she felt lips on her back, making her eyes snap open.

Why did he kiss her there? Isn't that something a loved one would do to another? She wasn't sure. No one had taught her the proper way to love. IT wasn't like she couldn't love. She loves her pet dearly only because he had been there for her through thick and thin. Oceanus was the one who had healed the sick injured direwolf pup back to health and the direwolf decided to thank her by staying by her side. "Ma’lady… Thank you. I will protect you. If you call my name, I’ll come running. If I’m not there already." said Chao with a big smile. Oceanus looked at him, smiling slightly and very softly. She felt like she just bared her soul to him and he kissed it and she didn't know what to do about that. Then he kiss the girl on top of her head. An affectionate gesture that her father would do when she was a child. She smiled at the reminder.

The female looked at Chao. "No, thank you for... taking away the bad memories..." whispered the female. Then they both proceeded to get her dressed. Oceanus slipped into a light blue silk nightgown. Oceanus ruffled with her hair a bit, messing up its natual perfection. She looked like a normal girl for once aside from the expensive looking silk nightgown. She looked at Chao and smiled. She started to walk but her foot had caught the carpet causing her to lose balance and fall forward not being fast enough to catch herself. Before she realized it, she fell into Chao's arm, her hands instantly gripping his upper arms and her body pressed close to him. Oceanus' eyes were wide from the shock of almost falling. "O-oh. I-i'm sorry..." whispered Oceanus, her eyes still wide, she haven't even gotten out of Chao's arms. For some odd reason she wanted to stay right there.

the things that you might like don't grow inside of me She thanked him for taking the bad memories away. She must have been having a war on the inside as well. He just smiled at her. One big, loving smile. Not the loving smile of a father or mother, no. The smile of someone who loved. He helped her get dressed, trying his best not to look or touch anything that would sent the wrong message. He watched as she ruffled her hair and, for once, didn’t look all prim and proper like a Princess. She just looked like a normal girl. He smiled back at her before she started walking. Next thing he knew, he was holding her in his arms. Boom boom. His heart pounded against his chest as he felt her hands grabbing at his arms. He heard her apologize, but just shook his head and looked down at her. You needn’t apologize, ma’lady. He spoke softly, soothingly. His hand traced the side of her face and got some of her hair out of her eyes. He just looked down at her, their eyes locked. But… I do. I’m sorry. He whispered to the girl before his lips suddenly pressed against her’s. He kissed her, tenderly. Gently, his arms wrapped around her middle and held her close to his chest, where his heart was pounding and beating against his ribs. The kiss lasted for a few moments before his lips parted from her’s. I… I think I’m in love with you, Oceanus…. I know we’ve only been together for such a short while, but… I don’t know, my heart just… I feel all funny around you… He stated, a mixture of sorrow and unending drive filled the words. His arms were loose around her, so she could slip away if she wanted, but anyone could tell that Chao didn’t want her to. @tag

Oceanus looked up at him her innocent wide eyes gazing up at him. He just shook his head and looked down at her after she had said 'I'm sorry'. "You needn’t apologize, ma’lady." said the man softly. Oceanus' cheeks slightly glowed with pink. She could feel his hand tracing down the side of her face, getting some strands out of the way and tucked back into its rightful place. Their eyes locked, his two different eyes gazing into her deep pools of azure. "But… I do. I’m sorry." whispered the male. Oceanus was about to ask what he was sorry for before the unexpected happened.

His lips was pressed against Oceanus'. Her eyes widened even more, even more shocked than the time she fell. He was so gentle, so tender... so... loving. Her lit on fire whenever he touched her. She could feel his arm wrapping around her middle. She could feel his chest where his heart pounded. She felt like her breath was being stolen away by this man in a good way. The warm flesh separated when Chao pulled away. Oceanus was breathless. She was speechless. "I… I think I’m in love with you, Oceanus…. I know we’ve only been together for such a short while, but… I don’t know, my heart just… I feel all funny around you…" said the man.

The princess was still quiet. She had no idea what to say. She was still registering all of this. She got lightheaded and felt like she was going to faint anytime soon. No, she would not faint out on Chao. That'd just make matters worse. She was still within the loose confines of Chao's arms. She was like this for a good minute before managing to speak. "I-i I think I'm pregnant. Kissing makes you pregnant r-right?" whispered the female, actually scared that she was going to have a child. Oh what would her parents think of her? Was the kisses supposed to wait til after you got married? Her deep blue orbs looked at him. Trying to register the last thing he said her. That... he loved her? He's in love with her? Oceanus looked at him. "I-is t-th-this what you meant a-at the di-di-dinner?" asked the female. She didn't know how to respond. Was she supposed to say I love you too?

"I-i'm so sorry b-but I d-don't know a-an-anything about l-lo-lo-love... o-or a-any-anything li-like that..." whispered the female very softly. "I do-don't wha-what to sa-say or d-d-do." She was having so much trouble speaking now.

the things that you might like don't grow inside of me The silence was deafening. On one hand, she didn’t slap the shit out of him, which he probably deserved. But, on the other hand, he probably just stole her first kiss and she might hate him. Her words, when she finally did speak, made a smile cut its way across Chao’s face. She thought women got pregnant from kissing. How innocent. He shook his head slowly. No, ma’lady. Kissing does not make you pregnant. Something… else does. I can tell you more about it later. He answered, trying to avoid a potentially extremely awkward conversation. Then she questioned if this is what he meant at dinner, to which he simply nodded. She said that she was sorry and that she had no idea what to say, but he didn’t mind. He didn’t mind at all. She seemed so nervous. Oceanus… He whispered before kissing her again, very softly. It’s ok… To be honest, I expected you to slap me and tell me to die or something… But, if you have the same feelings as I do, you could say ‘I love you too’, or something like that. I’m sorry that I put you in such a situation… The butler spoke softly. No matter what you say, I’ll be by your side forever. If you don’t share my feelings, I’ll spend the rest of my days alone as your butler, but… if you share my feelings… Maybe that could change? I don’t know, you’re a princess and I’m just… well me. He said with a small laugh, a touch of sorrow coming through. Why couldn’t he be some amazing prince or something? You’re just all I can think about and my heart gets all… crazy when I’m around you and I find breathing to be difficult and… and… and I think that’s what it feels like to be in love. He was probably just digging himself an even deeper pit. Maybe. @tag

Chao's lips curled up into a smile after Oceanus mentioned being pregnant. "No, ma’lady. Kissing does not make you pregnant. Something… else does. I can tell you more about it later." said Chao. Oceanus nodded silently. What kind of "something else" that it had to wait for a later conversation? He could've simple told her right here and right now. She felt so clueless like she didn't know enough about the world. After managing to speak again Chao simply whispered her name. "Oceanus…" The female looked up at him and his lips were upon hers once again. This time, now not worrying about that she might possibly be pregnant, naturally kissed back. Her cheeks turned a deep shade of red.

"It’s ok… To be honest, I expected you to slap me and tell me to die or something… But, if you have the same feelings as I do, you could say ‘I love you too’, or something like that. I’m sorry that I put you in such a situation…" said the male. Oceanus' mind was going at a billion miles per hour. Thinking of signs she might had that told her that she love him too. He was such a nice guy, the only one who was able to see through Kemono's facade. "I could never h-hit you." said the princess. She couldn't even hurt a fly. "No matter what you say, I’ll be by your side forever. If you don’t share my feelings, I’ll spend the rest of my days alone as your butler, but… if you share my feelings… Maybe that could change? I don’t know, you’re a princess and I’m just… well me." said Chao, sounding sad.

Oceanus' heart wanted to break for him. She placed a hand on his cheek, as if she was trying to comfort him. It was astounding that he was so willing to stay by her side. "You’re just all I can think about and my heart gets all… crazy when I’m around you and I find breathing to be difficult and… and… and I think that’s what it feels like to be in love." said Chao. Oceanus widened her eyes. What he has just descried... wasn't that how she felt at dinner? She felt so funny that she had to look away from Chao. "I-i... t-think I fe-felt the s-s-same way... a-at di-di-dinner. I-i ha-had a fu-funny feeling i-in my s-sto-stomach a-and my s-skin g-got really wa-wa-warm and m-my he-heart w-we-went cr-crazy too w-when I lo-lo-looked at yo-you." whispered the female. She hadn't really talked or replied to much of what Chao is saying to her. She was too shocked.

So shocked that she forgot about the fact she was engaged to Kemono. "I-is tha-that l-lo-love?" asked the female, still clueless on how she was supposed to feel. "I-i ha-have no id-idea..." said the female. "So-some-something te-tells me tha-that I wa-want to lo-love you. Be-because yo-you're s-so ni-nice and y-you bought ba-back go-good th-things to m-me wi-within on-one day. A-and y-you l-look so h-han-hand-handsome." said the female, blushing a deeper shade of red than before. She wondered when he was going to kiss her again, those lips upon her lips felt so sweet and nice. Even if it made her heart pound so hard and left her breathless, she loved it every minute of it.

the things that you might like don't grow inside of me All he could do was smile. That’s what she did to him. Apparently she felt the same way and that was… amazing for him. Just… the fact that his emotions were being returned was… simply heaven. I’d say that’s love, at least… affection. He answered, smiling rather happily at the girl. He was so happy that she said that she wanted to love him. It made him feel… wanted. Like he meant something to her. More than just a servant. Someone who was happy to die alone might have actually found someone who loves him. Maybe. Chao scooped the girl up in his arms and carried her to her bed, laying her across the soft mattress. I’ll tell you what I know about love, ma’lady, if that’d make you happy. He smiled at the girl as he sat close to her and gently stroked her hair. Love is… feeling right around someone. Feeling like the rest of the world doesn’t matter as long as you’re with that one person. Love is… love is so much. You have no idea how happy this makes me, Oceanus… That there’s even a possibility that you feel the same way as me. He smiles down at the girl, a single tear carving a wet path down the his left cheek. Everything was falling apart. His emotional fortress was crumbling and some of his sheltered emotions began to run free. His hand gently ran over the girl’s blue locks; his fingers running through the strands and he followed the waves. I’m sorry for keeping you up, I’m sure you’re tired. Want me to return to my room so you can sleep, ma’lady? Chao asked, his voice still kind of shaky from his fight to regain his composure. To rebuild his emotional walls. Something in him didn’t want to, though. This girl was special. @tag

Oceanus saw the smile on his face. Apparently she had said something right. "I’d say that’s love, at least… affection." said Chao. Oceanus smiled nervously while Chao smiled like he won the lottery. Oceanus let out surprised meek yelp as her butler scooped her up in his arms yet again surprised by Chao. Everything Chao did now surprised her. The butler laid her down on what quite could be the most softest bed she had ever laid on. "I’ll tell you what I know about love, ma’lady, if that’d make you happy." said the male. Oceanus smiled shyly and nodded. She did want to hear his perspective on love. "Love is… feeling right around someone. Feeling like the rest of the world doesn’t matter as long as you’re with that one person. Love is… love is so much. You have no idea how happy this makes me, Oceanus… That there’s even a possibility that you feel the same way as me." said the male.

"That... sounds really nice." whispered the female in awe. Would she feel that way about him one day? Then female saw a sight that she had never seen before. A man shedding a tear. Panicked emotions ripped through her. "A-are you okay? Are you hurt?" asked Oceanus, her eyes now suddenly filled with concern. She wiped away the tear. "Why are you crying?" whispered the female. Then his hand gently ran over her aquamarine locks. "I’m sorry for keeping you up, I’m sure you’re tired. Want me to return to my room so you can sleep, ma’lady?" asked the male. Oceanus thought about it. Honestly, her current emotion was still shock which overwhelmed her other emotions including the physical ones. She couldn't possibly sleep after all of this had happened. It was dead silence for a few moments other than the traffic that bustled through the large city.

"No. Don't leave me. I don't think I can sleep. I-i'm... still shocked a-and I can't sleep with the noise outside... it's. so different from my home." whispered the princess. What would Chao do now? Still leave her to go to bed? Stay with her? Oceanus had no idea what his next action was going to be.

the things that you might like don't grow inside of me He chuckled a bit to himself. Love did sound really nice. Love was, quite possibly, the greatest emotion to experience. The fact that he could not only experience it, but potentially have it returned to him was a dream come true. Even though the person he cared for was so innocent. He nodded slightly when Oceanus began to worry. I’m fine, Oceanus. Not hurt. I’m just happy. He smiled before feeling Oceanus’s hand on his cheek. Her touch felt like the softest thing ever to him. Though everything became silent shortly after. Republic city was never really silent. Silent was a room that was only flooded by the noise from outside. It seemed like she was thinking about his question. She didn’t want him to leave. For one reason or another, she wanted him to stay it seemed. His heart began to soar. Very well, Lady Oceanus. If you’d like, I will stay here with you. Give me but a moment to change into my pajamas. I don’t sleep in my tuxedo, sadly. He joked before leaning over and placing a soft kiss on the girl’s lips, then standing and heading to his room. The whole walk there, his mind was racing. The butler side of him was waging war with the emotional side. The butler was quite happy to bottle everything up and just let it die; but the emotional side was not going to have that. Once inside his bedroom, he threw his tuxedo off in record time and donned what he usually wore to bed. A loose sleeveless shirt and shorts of whatever color he grabbed. Usually black.

Chao returned to Oceanus’s side as quickly as he could, returning to his seat from before. Sorry to keep you waiting, Princess. Are you ok? Want to talk about how you feel or anything?
