The sound of pattering amongst the floorboards had been Elizabeth's rather impressive amount of servants, whom she had rang for what seemed to be a midnight snack.

The two sat at opposite ends of the table, it seemed almost like a standoff, the Lord sat there tense and awaiting the worst, trust in his so-called 'family' running very thin, so to think that Elizabeth wanted him to sit down and eat in her home with no ulterior motives seemed foolish to the man. Candles illuminated Elizabeths' face to him, she sat there playing with her cutlery impatiently, not making any eye contact as she waited for her food.

"You gonna answer my question now?" She broke the silence.

"Pardon?"

"You didn't answer me before." Heisenberg snarled at her reminding him like he was a child.

"I don't have to answer shit!" He stood up and slammed his fists on the table with such force the candles on the table rose off of it before landing again.
He was agitated, he wanted to know why she had brought him inside, he knew he could've left at any time that he wanted, but his body just wasn't letting him, which angered him more.

"Sit the fuck down." Her tone lowered but that wasn't enough for Heisenberg to back down now, he was too riled up.

Before anything else could be said, about ten servants entered the room calmly, each holding a large silver tray or a variety of foods, from meats to desserts. Five went to their mistress while the other five went to the guest.

"Thank you." Elizabeth nodded and dismissed them.

"You're welcome, your grace." Their synchronized voices seemed rather creepy as they said their goodbyes and left the room until they were called upon again.

"Freaky." The Lord stated and sat down to eat the meal, he wasn't exactly going to say no to a feast, no matter how annoyed he was, you didn't exactly get food like that at his factory.

"I don't usually wake them up at this time for food but I considered this to be a special occasion. Now you're gonna tell me what exactly you want with those bodies and what goes on in that factory of yours."

Elizabeth spoke, trying her hardest to ignore how the man in front of her was scoffing his food down like a wild animal that had been starved to death.

"So that was your plan" he concluded, "invite me in for dinner so you can get some secrets out of me." The words were muffled as he chomped through a large turkey leg.

"Well, my mother always said the quickest way to a man's heart, was through his stomach." The lady shrugged and began to cut up her food.

"Food won't win me over so easily."

"Well, the way you're eating suggested otherwise." A small laugh emanated from the woman as she continued to observe him. This caused Heisenberg to look down in front of him and see all the mess he'd made devouring the food, he couldn't exactly deny it now.

"I need them for experiments."

"More Cadou ones?" She inquired.

Mentions of the Cadou seemed to trigger him up as his brows furrowed.

"Like hell am I doing more experiments for Miranda" He spat.

"Woah Woah Woah, easy tiger didn't mean to pull on your tail." She raised one hand in defence as she ate a piece of pie with the other.

"I'm sick of working for the bitch." He confessed, leaning back in his chair, one arm resting on the side as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"So that's what you're doing." Her eyes lit up and she sat forward in her chair, she'd figured it out.

"What?"

"It all makes sense now, all those weird noses from your factory, you're building something, and you need bodies for it!" She exclaimed with joy.

Heisenberg's face dropped at her figuring it out, he couldn't risk her going to Miranda, but then again he could try and play it off.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." He shrugged.

"Don't play games with me metal head, you're building an army."

So that plan failed.

"Fuck" he muttered and raised all the cutlery in the air and flung it towards her.

She saw the attack and threw herself backwards in her chair, making it crash to the ground, avoiding the sharp objects and letting them hit the wall behind her.
Heisenberg got up from his chair and extended his arm out, letting his hammer fly across the room towards him before it came to rest in his hand.

"I didn't wanna do this." He confessed, walking over to Elizabeth.

But when he reached her fallen chair, she was nowhere to be seen.

"What the-"

The confusion was short-lived as he felt her jump on his back, getting him into a headlock, he didn't expect her to be this strong and so the struggle began.
In an attempt to get the slightly smaller woman off of him, he rushed backwards into a wall, knocking some paintings off and squishing Elizabeth between him and the wall, knocking the wind out of her momentarily.

"I won't tell Miranda."

Her breathless sentence rang through his ears and he stopped in his tracks, allowing Elizabeth to let go of the man and drop down to the floor, clutching her belly.

"I just ate and you're gonna make me throw up." She whined.

"So you're not a blind follower? Like the rest of those Morons?"

"How many bloody meetings do you see me attend? I don't wanna be there so I don't go, Mirandas just put it down to the fact I'm busier than the rest of you fuckers."

He pondered for a moment, it's true, he saw her once in a blue moon, and when she did come to Mirandas' meeting to observe their progress on finding vessels for her, she sat calmly in her chair next to Miranda, speaking very little.

And somehow she was still Mirandas' Favourite.

"Better stick to your word." He muttered, walking over to the table and grabbing his hat from it, before making a rather dramatic exit.

"Arrogant bastard" she groaned before ringing another nearby bell so the servants could clear up the mess the two had made.
