Recurring Poisons

Day 6! Finally food!

    Cacao awoke in his bed from a knock on the door. Cacao snarled softly as he moved his hand to the back of his neck and gently rubbed it. He pulled back with a small hiss as he felt a pain blossom there. Odd…was he feeling pain from how he died? Cacao turned his attention to Affogato coming in, the same old cup in his hand, and the same old smile.

"Good morning my liege, I'm sorry for interrupting your rest, but you have already slept in," Affogato said softly as he set the tea down on the counter beside Dark Cacaos' bed. Dark Cacao sighed sitting up slowly with a groan as he looked to Affogato. 

“You alright my Liege?” Affogato asked looking at cacao confused at the pained groan he gave. Dark cacao hummed softly with a nod as he looked at Affogaot with a glare.

“You..oiled the stairs?” Cacao said softly with a scowl. “Why…?” Dark cacao said as he got up off the bed and towered over Affogato. He looked confused and sort of sunk in his form as his smile turned more nervous.

“My Liege what are you talking about?” Affogato questioned looking up to the taller male. Dark Cacao scowled at Affogato before turning away. 

“You snake” Cacao mumbled as he made his way to the door behind Affogato. He could see Affogaot move from the corner of his vision and quickly turned around. He grabbed affogatos wrist hard with a glare but froze seeing his arm was empty and his face was one of shock. 

“M-my Liege…? Calling me a snake? What have I done to condone this beheaviour form you?” Affogato asked as he tried to read Cacaos expression. Cacao sighed softly letting go of Affogatos wrist and opened the door, 

“I just want to head downstairs.” Cacao mumbled softly as he made his way out. Affogato followed behind quietly. They made there way to the stairs and Cacao carefully took the first step, placing his hands on the walls as he descended. At about the 4th step down he heard a small yelp from Affogato who seemed to have slipped on the 1st step. Affogato had caught himself before slipping all the way down on Cacao back and just ask quickly pushed off with a small flsutard. “S-sorry my liege! I have no idea why the stairs are…waxed” Affogato mumbled out as he held onto Cacaos night gown as they headed down the stairs. Dark Cacao hardly gave a response as he finally made it down the stairs. With a heavy sigh of relief, Cacao headed onwards towards the kitchen. As he had gotten into the kitchen he noticed a plate of food on the table. He frowned before turning to face Affogaot who gave a soft smile to him.
    “You’r breakfast my liege crafted all by me” Affogato said with a small bow, as if this was some sort of amazing feat for the advisor. Cacao could only assume that meal was tampered with.

    “No thank you Affogato. I will find my own food “ Cacao said softly as he entered a side room from the kitchen. It was a small little cupboard like room for basic food that could be held on shelfs. Cacao could barely ifit inside, but he wasn’t about to die at Affogatos hand again. Cacao had made one mistake, which was turn his back to Affogato with his guard down. He heard something hit the floor, with a loud sizzle noise, as the door behind him was closed, and locked. Cacao tried his best to turn around, struggling a bit with the tight space. When he finally got to facing the door, this hazey purple smoke was filling the room from the floor. Cacao banged on the door, but with the lack of space, he couldn’t  move enough to gain enough momentum and strength to kncok the door down. His vision got blurry and his cursed loudly, his banging getting weaker. “Affogato…why?” Cacao whispered out before slouching in place, his breathing getting heavier before his vision slowly faded to black. . .
