What am I to make of this? {The voice of this new user is entirely too calm; too collected considering the circumstances. But he has been uniquely trained by, shall we say, a vibrant life? Which, incidentally, ended abruptly (and painfully) in his memory.}

An introduction, perhaps? All of those start to sound the same, I imagine. {He finally comes into full view, smiling in a way that could be polite - if it weren't for the mischievous glint in his eyes.} Something like: I am Earl Vincent Phantomhive? Does that suffice? Should I add "of England"?

{He gives a light chuckle before remarking:}

I must say this is the queerest afterlife I can imagine.

I should have brought you to one of her matches, but she would have never forgiven me.

Oh no, she absolutely wouldn't have.

[Gradually, the time between answers gets larger.]

I wouldn't have liked to earn her wrath. She might have sounded more like Francis!

Aunt Francis is frightening enough on her own!

She loves you. She would do anything for family.

That doesn't make her any less frightening.

Imagine being her brother.

I think I'll pass. She's terrifying enough as my aunt, I don't want to imagine more.

[He remembers eavesdropping on the two when he was much younger, and that sword being swung around Vincent's face.]

For all her fierce bravado, she has never harmed me.

{He trusts that she won't, though she is fond of close calls. As is he, actually.}

Yet. I think she'll have reason now, if she ever comes here.

[He had the gall to go and die.]

I am ready to dodge her, I think. I feel spry!

{Is he spry enough?}

I'm not sure if that will be enough but we can both hope.

[He's rather his father not die again.]

Are you truly concerned for me? {...bb. ♥ }

I'd rather not watch another family member die.

[Kind of.]

It isn't pleasant.

No, it isn't.

[And he's had the unfortunate experience of seeing it three times.]

I can't wait to see you.

I know. I'm sure we'll see each other soon.

I plan on it. I may see to ending your work day early.

I suppose if you do I could bring some of my work home. Undertaker shouldn't mind.

Why should he mind? Your work does not interfere with his.

Working too much got me sick a couple months ago. If I'm working at home though, he shouldn't worry.

[Much.]

Sick? What did you come down with? Was it simple fatigue?

{Or Asthma.}

[He knows where dad is going with this. And he's still not giving anything away. Purposely.]

I'm fine. Jason and Undertaker saw to it I was taken care of.

{He knows, baby. But he doesn't want you hiding your wheezing from him either.}

You can come to me too.
