--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The group of four walks through the crowded streets of the market area while looking through multiple stores and buying what they need. Hans playfully gets a box of red hair dye; to dye his hair having the other two siblings sigh while the father chuckles lightly. After browsing the stores for a bit, Cale walks into a weapon shop, causing the orange butler to wince at the sight of all the weapons near him. Cale frowns as he looks through the weapons while pursing his lips in a frown, like none of the ones here are what he wants, before leaving. After checking the time and noticing that it was lunchtime, they head towards a tea shop nearby, The Fragrance of Tea with Poetry.
Cale pays for the whole second floor of the shop and takes Hans to get a table as the others choose the food and drinks. They sit at a table by a window: Hans sits by the window while staring at something as Cale sits across from him but still sees through it. Cale takes out some pieces of paper and pencils before the rest joins them. Ron right by Hans while Beacrox by Cale, while looking at the blank paper quietly questioning the young crimson-haired boy.
"What weapon do you specialize in, Hans? We will be making each other weapons that suit the other. Ron, you will make mine while I make Hans', Beacrox will make Ron's, and Hans do Beacrox's.
They nod as they take the paper and pencils from him with Hans staring off in space but snaps out of it when tapped on the shoulder by Ron. Billos smiles as he places the drinks and food in front of the resting people before leaving, letting them do their business in peace. Hans starts to eat a bit of fruit while humming, lost in thought about his young master's question while staring at the ceiling. Only the sound of the other two, the Molan duo, starts to sketch out ideas. Suddenly, the air around them stills as Hans' smile falls along with the gentleness of his grey eyes cloud over in thought. Soon his voice touches the air around them touching the otherwise confusing silence.
"Mainly swords and whips. Those are the best weapons due to my experience in a certain art."
He lets out a smile and continues to eat, snapping back into this weird mixture of childish innocence that clashes against his chilling words causing Beacrox to get curious. Beacrox looks at Hans before looking at the blades that he is creating for his father. Hans also starts to work on his project of creating the best weapon possible for Beacrox.
"Are you talking about torture? What do you know about it?"
Cale was in a bit of shock since never in his past lives of regressing has he ever seen Hans with a whip, yet he can use almost any weapon instantly as if he has experience with the items. Now that he thinks and looks back on it, Hans only knows how to use the weapons in ways that inflict the most pain upon his victims. Cale always wondered why, whenever Hans used daggers, it was so familiar to Ron's way of fighting. Hans seems to still be in his spot; his hand left shaking in place as his eyes are flooded with multiple emotions before he quickly hides them behind a closed-eye smile.
"It's a personal experience I would rather not talk about."
They understood the meaning behind his words; do not ask any further. They drop this topic as it had Beacrox conflicted as he continues his father's daggers. Hans keeps taking little glances out the window, along with Cale, yet the only one to know what he is looking at is Ron. A sigh leaves the older man as he gets up, causing everyone to look at him, and pats Hans' back lightly.
"If you want to go there, I can go with you. Young master, please excuse this Ron and Hans."
They left with Hans looking like he was getting either candy or a cat. Beacrox sighs as he sits back in his chair while sipping his tea. Cale notices the subtle tenseness in his hyung's body as the older man looks toward where Hans was just at.
"Is there something wrong, Hyung?"
"I have a bad feeling about what Hans said earlier about torture. What if someone he was close to gets tortured?"
Cale sighs as he thinks since he does not want to talk about Hans behind his back, especially if it is something like this. Cale pats Beacrox's shoulder as he notices the figure of that punk that will soon beat him at night.
"Hans will tell us in the future when he is ready, ok? We should not try to force ourselves into his personal life. Ron will like the daggers you made for him, beautiful."
Beacrox nods before he puffs up his chest in pride at the daggers he created. Cale chuckles at his oldest hyung's actions as he proceeds to draw a sword that is like a whip that can be used in either form. Once they two are back, they see Hans with a large black kitten plushie that he is hugging like it is the best thing in the world. Ron smiles at the young butler eating cake with a gentle gaze at the innocence. They continue to draw weapons and eat until Cale breaks the comfortable silence.
"Should I not talk to that punk? But that might make things worse."
Cale sighs as he looks at the finished weapon and then back out the window as the sun is about to set. Hans goes deep into his thoughts as he munches on more strawberry shortcakes before he sips his tea. Ron and Beacrox are the same, yet Beacrox and Ron are done with their blueprints while it is just Hans left. Hans' eyes widen as he smiles brightly, accidentally getting frosting on his face.
"What about we fake your death, young master! then you wouldn't have a reason to go and meet the guy as 'Cale Henituse' but as 'Cale Molan' or 'Cale Thames'!"
The three look at the smiling Hans with shock and confusion. Confused at how he came up with such an idea given his innocence and shocked at the fact that it is not a bad one at that. Cale hums as he goes deep in thought; he will lose only money, but it is easy to gain back as he remembers various ways that can be gained back. It's also not like the Count will care much about Cale since he (Count) pushed him (Cale) aside for his (Count) new family, plus he isn't even close with that family so they won't care about him dying. After a bit of thought, he nods accepting the idea that Hans proposed, making the said copper-haired man's smile grow while Beacrox attacks the frosting on his face with a handkerchief.
"Let's do that, but how will we pull it off? I have no intention of getting hurt."
Once Hans escaped Beacrox's torture, having his face almost rubbed off, Hans takes another piece of paper from the stack by Cale and starts to write a plan. The plan goes through several stages, as well as several arguments over Hans being the one to get hurt in Cale's place. The others hated it before a concrete plan is created as the sun start to paint the sky gently. They head out of the tea shop and to the castle while dropping off the blueprints, to get ready for the mission titled: Cale's Assassination.
