{ Vincent is in the theater and the ballet is in full costume, practicing one Act or another. They are lovely to see - full of bright colors, like proud, graceful birds. This might be an archaic art to some, but, as the camera turns, the Earl is beaming. }

Well worth an hour or two, I assure you. The full-length numbers are considerably longer, but amendments can be made and stories can be told over several nights. We're not going anywhere, after all.

{ He rises from his seat and paces towards the stage. Thankfully he stops before he ends up in the orchestra pit. That would be embarrassing. }

Tell me your favorite story, hm?

I haven't ever seen her cry except right before she was killed. [He's sure she cried after news of the attack reached her. All the family she had left, killed in one night? He's absolutely sure she did.]

No. She cried when I came home. I nearly forgot.

I don't wish to ruin your memories of her. [That kind boy is still in there. Buried under a lot of pain but still there.]

I look like mother. And you. She got all of us back, in a way.

This is about stories though, isn't is? [Trying to veer far away from that misery, thanks.]

I did hear one more recently. About the Miracle of Sapphires.

She didn't, she couldn't bring herself to do it. I knew she she wouldn't.

[So he hadn't had his butler do anything to stop her.]

Uncle Francis told me about it. Just a few days before Blue House managed another miracle. [Like father, like son.]

[A part of him might be a little glad he wasn't. He had aimed not to kill his aunt but...]

Briefly. It was work related, I left shortly after I finished my assignment. While I was there though, I was chosen to play in the annual cricket tournament for Blue House.

I did have some help. One of the professors suggested me as a player. And I wanted to attend the Midnight Tea Party. So it worked out in my favor.

[His adorable son took a bat to the head to win.]

I wouldn’t doubt it.
