Darien smacked his lips and looked at her over the rim of his mug, his eyes twinkling with mischief. “Why not?”

“Because I’d miss you,” Ciel mumbled in a low voice before briskly walking away towards whatever impossible challenge that awaited her next. #eso #dariengautier

“Puppies are cute, Lady Du Mer. That means…you think I’m cute. You know what I think? I think it’s you who’s pining over me,” Darien replied before draining his entire mug of Mermaid Whiskey in one long guzzle.

“You keep drinking like that and you are going to die,” Ciel deflected.

“When?” Darien countered, adding a sardonic chuckle before things got too serious.

“Don’t say things like that!” She snapped. Unsurprisingly, mortality was still a sensitive topic. #eso #vestige #dariengautier
