Eirlys/Lord Astor     {Eirlys' thought}

---------------------------------

"My lord, Lady Lane is coming towards you from 3 o'clock. In 3, 2..."

"Eiryls, I have eyes! 

And stop using your power!"

"I am not pushing my power against the limit. 

It's not like more harm can be done to my sight. 

And one wants to see color when one sees things in a dim and blurry mess. 

Looking 5 seconds into the future is my only way to see things now."

"Eirlys..."

{I know Astor has been trying to find ways to restore my sight. And every time I mention it, he seems so hurt and regretful (I know because I am not fully blind yet and I look into the future to check). He has been doing all he can, researching late into night. Using his agents. I can't bear seeing him like this. Distract him.}

"And Lady Lane intends to spill wine on your shirt. 

I save you again, my lord."

"Wine spilling! Interesting! 

Is that a new trend among you ladies?"

"It seems like no one notifies me, my lord." 

"What could one possibly earn from spilling wine on one's shirt?"

"Disposing of the wine they don't like but are too polite to refuse."

"On the second in command of this country?"

"Sometimes human's brain takes an interesting turn, my lord."

"Yours surely does."

{This guy!!! He isn't still holding a grudge, right? What? It is a logical guess that he might have other reasons for marrying me. I know I am in the wrong for doubting him, but still. It has been... exactly a week. Fine. Lord Astor isn't Lord Astor if he doesn't hold a grudge for more than 2 weeks.}

"Are you scolding me inside this little brain of yours?"

"No, my lord. 

And you promise me not to read my mind without logical reasons."

"Are you scared that I will discover that you are lying if I do?"

"No. I am just stating facts, my lord."

{He shrugs! He dares to shrug! This grudge holding childish guy!}

"Here it comes again. 

Being angry for such trivial thing is bad for your health, Eirlys. 

Do you want to dance?"

"No."

"Now even omitting the phrase 'my lord'. 

Not even in a sarcastic mood is it? 

Let's leave."

"What? But we have just arrived?"

"I'm not in the mood of party. 

Where should we go? Candy shop?"

"I'm not a child, my lord."

"What does little Eirlys want? It's my treat."

"I can't go anywhere without you leading anyway, my lord. 

I might as well go with you and I'd love some chocolates."

Author's note:

I'm back again! This snapshot is fun, isn't it? XD

Now I'm finally free to contemplate about this companion story I have in mind :D It's going to be set in the same world. What do you think of diary format? 

Next up is the final last three specials, about their past ;)

See you next time!
