    Summary

    A misstep.

    A little stumble.

    An almost wrong turn, one only corrected after being twisted towards the correct direction.

    Yet another misstep.

    And when she heard yet another soft sigh in response, Arlecchino decided she has had enough.

    “I'm not doing this anymore.”

    Summary

    "Rather than dwelling on how the world is now, you should consider to where it should go."

    Peruere, no, Arlecchino, spun on her heel and kept walking towards the door to leave.

    The Jester had given her his five answers to her five questions.

    And even though she heard his parting words, she deliberately chose not to reply. She had asked for answers, not advice.

    She also did not wholly trust the way Pierro had been so openly honest towards her. Though at the very least she now knew more about to look for further answers about the origins of her curse.

    But just as Arlecchino was about to exhale, wanting to leave further thinking to the privacy of her rooms, a rich voice sounded across the hall.

    “Little Knave.”

    Summary

    “It’s better than being huddled up in your office and doing whatever paperwork Pulcinella tossed on you.” There was a certain gamble in the cheeky remark, a calculated risk to assess where Signora stood on some of their colleagues. Hearing empty complaints about them was one thing, but seeing if there was some festering tension between any of them was different.

    The Fair Lady chuckled as she held out a gloved hand towards the crow at her side. “Please, that old fool makes me yearn for the time when it was only Pierro cluttering my desk.” The bird jumped onto the outstretched appendage with a small, happy noise that only grew in volume as gentle fingers returned to scratch its neck.

    Arlecchino violently stomped down the embers of a new form of jealousy for birds. La Signora was a Harbinger, she reminded herself. One of them. The young Knave knew better than to ache for such kindness from someone like Rosalyne.
    Harbingers didn’t just extend warmth freely. It all came at a grave cost or as a disguise for unimaginable cruelty.

    You are no exception.

    Summary

    The young boy carefully studied him, gaze somehow both playful yet intense enough to pierce through his armor. “Your arms are like Father”, the magician remarked with a gleeful tone that caught the Captain off guard. Whatever leftover caution the child still had had instantly faded, a sense of familiarity overcoming him as his body language relaxed involuntarily.

    It was…strange.

    Capitano resisted the urge to pull down the sleeves of his shirt to cover the exposed skin above his gloves, the sudden awareness that even such a small bit of his body being visible stood out like crimson blood against snow was hitting him like a dagger. He chose to ignore the boy's comment. “What’s your name, little Snezhevich?”

    Summary

    “You’ve tolerated weakness for too long.” The venomous bite in her ‘Mother’s’ voice had sunk into her body like a well-maintained blade.

    Arlecchino’s gaze was forced back to the sea of blood. “This is the fate that all your children will meet.”

    Crucabena leaned down to whisper in her ear, her voice returning to something sickly sweet that made Peruere’s skin crawl. “You failed them.”
