005 ♰ video/action for Violet City (she's slowly becoming Lion with Cherrygrove.)

[fathersbeloved]

[The inn room is poorly lit, probably just whatever light from the outside that could get through the curtains. Darjeeling the Houndoom can be seen lying at the bed's feet, just beside the owner of the pokegear.

Beatrice looks like she hasn't had a good night sleep in some days, even when she woke up 5 days ago. Her eyes are puffy, but there is no evidence of crying. She does look rather upset.]

Good night... I... just wanted to tell everyone I am awake... and that I am fine.

[She pauses, struggling with something inside...finaly, she frowns, and looks away for a moment.]

I wish to ask to you, all of you who might know the answer... could you please tell me, what is a son? How... how does having a son feel? Please...


[The feed cuts abruptly.]

[Action] Lies. She needs to stay for like, 4 months and refuse to leave xD

[There is knocking at the door.] Beatrice...?

Strange I've never heard you talk like that before, Beatrice.

[He thinks this is the other Beatrice, the Witch.]

You seemed to be jovial as always when we last spoke, aru.

Uh...well...

[Dammit, he should've known this. Or at least had some semblance of an answer.]

It's not really...an easy thing to describe.

[eagledheart]

[Something seems off about this, particularly since she'd just recently seen Beatrice and Battler bickering over flying to Violet.]

Beatrice...? Is everything all right?

You were caught in that dream as well? [[somehow he feels bad that he missed seeing here there]]

Uu-.. Having a son..? Why would Beato want to know about that..?

Couldn't say...why do you ask?

[He tilts his head.]

I imagine that having a son is very painful, Beatrice.

[He can't put his finger on it, but there is something... really, unnervingly different about her.]

You... don't have multiple personalities, to your knowledge, do you...?

...Having a son means realizing that there is something in the world that is more important than anything else, no matter what. Having a daughter would be very much the same, I've no doubt.

... Beatrice?

[Crow doesn't respond immediately, resting his chin on his hand and humming thoughfully.]

Having a son... Or having kids in general-- See, it's complicated!

Sure, you worry about them all the time -- whether they eat enough, what the eat or wear, what games they play and with whom, whether they go to sleep at proper hours, whether you're being a good role model of them, whether you're not giving them enough -- or too much -- freedom... That and much more. It's like you stop thinking about yourself at all, 'cause you've gotta think about someone else -- someone much less experienced, too. You take care of them and want the best for them and can't even be sure if they appreciate it!

[He makes a pause, considering something. Then, he beams.]

... But when you see them smile and hear them laugh... When you see they're happy and you're the one who helped them feel that way... Hell, words can't describe that. It just feels like being on cloud nine!

... Beatrice?

[Standing outside her room, but overall, he's unsure how to approach. For a lot of reasons, but given what she's saying now...]

not here;

[ ....

It's rare that she has to fight to find words to say, but this is one of those times. Congrats, Mommy!Beatrice, you've brought a rare reaction from your child. Even with Beatrice's claims that she herself was the original Beatrice, and the Beatrice that came after--even if she's thrown away what she once acknowledged as her human life to become Beatrice--

Her hand clenches around the device. She's forgiven everyone--the family, Battler, Kinzo--everyone involved with what had happened back then, however...

... She cuts off the feed abruptly, throwing the device in the process. ]

E-EH!? I-I-Isn't this too deep of a subject, Beato-san? I would say to wait until you're mentally more mature to find out!

... D-does she even know the story of the "Birds and the Bees"?!

video.

I couldn't tell you. Wish I could, though.

That's a rather odd question. What brought this up?

Not that I can really give you an answer though... heh, I'd be better qualified to answer it from the other way around.
