So Slowly [Closed Roleplay] To Hell
demon-madam:
Ｌies and secrets, they are like a cancer in the soul. They eat away what is good and leave only destruction behind. Such was a the personal experience of Angelina— and she could only commend the younger Phantomhive on coming up stronger where his father had fallen short. Vincent had such an intricate web of lies and secrets when the end had come for hom, like a beast snapping shut on all the half truths he had whispered. She had been part of that web, many moons ago. She couldn’t help but wonder— would Rachel had stayed with Vincent had she known the truth? Likely not. Angelina had, however.
Ｔhe demon canted her head slowly to the side, brows furrowing forward with a look of distinct displeasure. Children. The one passionate spot of potential innocence that remained in the demon’s corrupted soul. Her lips curled with a disgust that was swallowed with a sip of tea. The liquid suddenly tasted bitter along her tongue. “Sickening.” She spat, setting her tea aside before and idea bloomed into her mind.
“Ｉ’d like to help you, if I may? Sometimes all you need is a fresh set of eyes. I might be able to provide some… insight.” It wasn’t a secret— they both knew her history. They both knew what she was. What would be more ironic?
Ciel still thought highly of his father. He could understand why Vincent kept those secrets from his mother, it didn’t bring down his opinion of him at all. However, Ciel also didn’t know just how deep and how tangled those secrets and lies had actually been. He had no idea of the past between his aunt and his father. It was likely that if that information were to ever reach his ears, his trust in Anne and the fond memory of his father would be shattered.
The male agreed with his aunt at how sickening the case was, and he thought she might be interested in helping. He smiled slightly and nodded, perking up a little at her offer of help. Having a demon accompany him again? Just like old times. It was a huge advantage as well as being not as lonely. “Of course, you’re welcome to come along. It’s always easier to solve these cases when I have someone.. assisting me.”
