[Log - Who's there?]

[lastnightmare]

Angelo closed his eyes and concentrated as the magic bloomed and wove it's way from his concentration into reality. His bookshelves often became damaged by the heavy volumes containing memories of nightmares which had habit of sinking into the wood. Library maintenance was not his favourite thing, in fact it was exasperating and exhausting both but that was the last of it over with. He sighed as the cool breeze from the night outdoors blew in through the window and tussled his hair and blew out several of his candles. It felt like somebody was in the room along with that breeze but the Memory Keeper didn't look around. He was calmer these days about intruders, being that it was usually the Reaper. A small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Angelo's eyes softened at the mention of Evils children. Precisely the subject he had been trying to avoid, but perhaps it was best to let the other man talk about it.

"I am sure they had other talents. One's more akin to your own."

"Eros was too much like me, ya know? That's how come he spilt into two and we got Echo. Suppose its better for 'em not to be around."

Evil shrugged, absently stroking his nails back and forth over his marked hand. His right hand still held most of the orange.

"Ecstasy was nothin' like me, lucky her. Kinda. I suppose."

Evil pulled himself up from where he crouched, grinning. "So I guess if ya not got much to say, I should let ya get back to work, right?"

"If you like." Angelo smiled, wishing he had something to occupy Evils other hand.

"Or we could just... Share a comfortable silence whilst picking fruit?"

As he suggested it, he realised that he would like that very much should Evil say yes.

"That'd be nice," Evil admitted. Even so he shrugged and forced his hands into his pockets.

The silence from his Other Half disconcerted him as much as his incessant whispers did, and so Evil's comfort was gone.

"But ya know. Nice isn't what I'm used to. Best to go."

"You're going already?" There was disappointment in his voice as well as relief. If Evil went Angelo would not have to keep things from him any longer. Still, he did not sit will with the notion of 'out of sight out of mind' and he would have preferred the Force stay a while.

"Yeah," Evil replied, somewhat distant as he looked around the garden. "Yeah. Life of a wastrel, ya know? Always gotta be somewhere else."
