⠀
the caretakers head
just tilts at the
sound of krill's voice,
gaze flickering from
krill to mo. " the baroness, "
they simply respond,
gesturing to the hotel
behind them.
⠀
The rumbling gets louder, and louder, until - BAM!
The ground ruptures, and Mo pops out of the ground, with Krill on his back.
"Ah, where is this...?" Krill muses, glancing around. "I think we took a wrong turn."
⠀
... tsk. standing in place,
hands neatly rested
in their lap, waiting
for seven to do something.
they won't be the one
to initiate conversation
due to seven just..
staring.

the doorman, though
of a lesser evil.
works alongside doorman,
though their relationship is
simply professional. the caretaker
rarely speaks to the doorman
unless their task specifically calls
for it.
they/them pronouns and non-binary.

enjoying* yourself? you
could get yourself killed.
you know what some
of the folk here do.
( they can't help but
worry — how would
the baroness react
if he died? )
musn't you wait when
it's safer?
⠀
I am simply enjoying myself a little. Once I’m done I’ll return to that disguise of mine. I don’t know why you care , “friend.” Whatever I do has never been your concern .

" i reassure, i am
nothing akin to my
coworker. he is
more.. complex
than me, i would
say. " they step forward,
a hand raised slightly
to show they mean
no harm. " i am
a simple caretaker.
that is all. nothing
else, nothing more. "
A frown, their gaze now trailing towards the pitch black dominant arm. The pinkette's fingers lazily curl, feeling the throbbing sensation that came with the strangers proximity. A sigh.
“ Same smile, same demeanor. I feel you can connect some dots. ”
⠀
( green eyes squint,
poking an accusatory
finger on his chest. )
you will be the reason
we will get *caught*.
many already suspect
we are one in the
same and unlike a
certain other being
i know, i can hide it
better. ( a scoff. )
⠀
⠀
the caretakers head
tilts ever so slightly
more, green eyes
gazing directly at
the other. continuing
to smile.
" i musn't know what
you mean by that. "

Orbs narrow, digits tapping on the brittle hilt of one of their blades.
Thought, another groan comes soon after.
“ You give me. . .that same eerie feeling as him. ”
