Alexander sighed, leaning back, gently stroking Louis's hair. "The game, I'm sad to say, is not going well. I am thoroughly outclassed as a chess-player by my opponent, and the news is the usual Surface troubles involving Revolutionaries devouring Vienna and Italy bit by bit. Aunt Gretchen has written to my family on the Surface that I've married royalty, and they don't quite seem to believe it. There's talk of more of the Voight clan coming down to the Neath, and I'm not sure which party I feel more sorry for. So many of them are still so furious about the death of my brother Walter...they might be like I was when I first visited the Neath. Either way, of course, as they say...a reckoning is not to be postponed indefinitely." A storm cloud seemed to pass over that scarred face, transforming it from the usual amiable, if intimidating, look Alexander bore, to the face of some stiff-jawed, glass-eyed, scarred stranger plotting violence and murder at any opportunity. |

"Someday, Restitution will be had. For all." Louis silently stared into space. He almost nodded off, but managed to catch himself before he fell over. "Just... Be careful." Upon noticing Alexander's change in demeanor, he sat up to the best of his ability, brushed his hand across Alexander's face, and looked him in the eye. "Don't let it consume you. If not for my sake, then for everyone else's." |

Alexander shook his head, smiling. "I won't. I haven't. I was much worse before. Before you. Before Felicia. Before I realized the powerful had a duty to the weak. That duty cuts both ways. I won't be that foolish again. And I won't make my move until I'm completely certain it's the right one." |
