♞ X. voice & action.

[holyknights]

[There are two boys in Luceti who don't really care about all of the new people in the village today. They just want to sit here and read. Of course, it doesn't mean they aren't a little annoyed, and Elliot will be much more vocal about his annoyance than Leo, that's for sure. It's hard to read with all of this noise.]

If all you're gonna do is complain, then maybe you should just leave.

[All of you. Residents and newcomers alike!!]

[ That declaration, so utterly Elliot, draws an idle laugh. ]

There's that! And I suppose it makes no difference. . . does it? If there's no family name here to reflect it upon.

[statice]

[Vincent, don't say things like that. He tugs at Elliot's sleeve and shakes his head. It's not worth yelling about.]

[misfortunes]

Ah. [ as if he's only reached the thought by the signal of Leo's movement; as if Leo means no more than that. ] Am I interrupting, then?

[holyknights]

[Elliot pulls his arm away from his servant. Stop touching him, goodness.]

No, i-it's fine. You're not interrupting anything.

[statice]

[He likes touching, shut up. But as long as the message is clear.]

It's just some reading.

[misfortunes]

[ One would have been easy enough to handle. But the two of them together are, regrettably, interesting. ]

Elliot.

[holyknights]

[Elliot would disagree! Still, he turns his attention away from Leo to Vincent when he says his name.]

What is it?
