"I told you all Ambrose screams the loudest when he's at it; behaves more like the female to me." Achlys shrugged then turned to laugh evilly at a blushing Ambrose who was staring at him with a glare for exposing his secret he thought was safe with him.
"Never took you for a voyeur Achlys"
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me sweetheart" Achlus pouted his lips like he was whispering but everyone could hear him clearly with the mischievous smile dancing on his lips as he said the next words.
"I know everything."
"Back?" Desdemona deflated their rising banter.
"Can we breach the previous topic?" Archimedes interpreted
"Quarrel like teenage girls running through their cycle" Landmark mocked.
Ambrose gasped dramatically, seeming to be the dramatic one.
"I do not!" He affirmed
"Insecure bastard feels insulted" Achlys added with a nod.
"So back to my story" Ambrose clapped to cease all comments
"Yes?! Back to your story...!"
"We kinda had a had a thing or two" He rubbed the back of his neck while Achlys snorted. "And it was going well-"
"Wait...! Hold on..!" Landmark chuckled "So you mean to say the human fire breathing creature was actually gay?" Landmark laughed. "I'm so sorry but he looked like one who would rather shove his stick up a pole than be gay." He apologized unapologetically. "Tryna jug a picture of a panting Marlon and a grunting Ambrose or a screaming Ambrose and a screaming Marlon". The others laughed at that while Landmark shivered in disgust.
"That would have been heroic" Achlys commented.
"You've met him?" Ambrose asked with a blank expression.
"Not proud to say but I have, why?
"Nothing. Never thought the nun-like Landmark would actually meet someone so lowly of status but anyway he's a sweet guy and very obedient". Hearing that, George choked on the wine he was drinking, the liquid going down the wrong pipe and constricting his airways.
"Must have snagged the switch in his brain to make him be"
George sighed like he was about to scold an incorrigible child with his fingers cleaning water from the side of his eyes. "You actually did compel him"
"Well not really" Ambrose shook out his hair, his long fringe grazing his lashes and casting shadows over his cheeks. "Just prolonged his death."
"As expected of humans" Achlys snorted.
"Didn't look suicidal to me" Landmark pointed out
"Actually he did but he planned to do that after having himself between his sister's legs". The sudden crash of glass against wall made all eyes turn to look at a fuming Landmark.
"Guess I would have to bring him back from the dead and degut him myself"
"Humans!" Achlys shook his head, "They amaze me."
"Wonder why he would have wanted to do that"
"He had something to benefit there. Looked like she wasn't quite liked though, swept through his memories to see her locked in dark rooms; almost looked maniacal after coming out from one" Ambrose yawned and stretched his hands above his head to crack the bones at his sides.
"Just toyed with him because I found him interesting and besides his stupidity was my key to pass time; you know good fuck."
"Find him disgusting already, I mean what era are we that he wanted to commit incense before his death, 3000?" Eudaimonia commented in disgust.
"Weird taste you have Ambrose"
"What would he have gained from that?" Landmark asked, anger licking his skin lightly while his eyes fleeted continuously from two colors without settling for one.
"That part had been missing from his memory but the question had been there" Ambrose shrugged
"Looks like you weren't the only demon who found him useful"
"Wasn't the only creature" Ambrose corrected
"Creature..?"
"Hmm. He had a tap to his memories, could almost taste it"
"Someone had snagged the switches to his memories"
"What about Elizabeth herself?" Landmark asked with a frown.
"Part of the reason why I stopped skimming through, her pictures and their time together bore me out but the girl was in none, that's why I said it looked like she wasn't really favored. Only brought her out when she was of use; like for entertaining male visitors." The glasses in the room popped into pieces one by one.
"Don't tell me you spent all your time on this one creature!" Achlys asked in horror
"Minus he was great for passing time, he had buried cases that were pulled from under the carpet with just one and I happened to be working on that present one filed against him which lead to the previous ones, looks like Elizabeth couldn't cover up this one for her favorite boy" Ambrose hissed, already getting bored with the 'Marlon talk'.
"What was it about?" Archimedes enquired.
"Apparently, he loved shoving his head through middle aged women's ass. He had met the client at a gathering and they got engaged in a conversation and having the charms of a gentleman, he had used the excuse of forgetting his coat in one of the rooms and the lights been blown out and he was scared of the dark."
Hearing that, Achlys cackled maniacally without any ounce of pity.
"Who gives that kind of excuse?"
"And who falls for it?"
"Humans!" Achlys answered the rhetorical questions.
"Roughed her up so bad." Ambrose added
"If his delight was in old women then what's his problem with the girl?" Eudaimonia asked
"Do pedophiles who rough up underage kids not rape women too?" Ambrose returned the question back.
"Apart from imperfections here and there, the girl's a beauty and his memories reeked of her, a lot and more than his excuse of a mother."
"Landmark would you stop that!" George chastised when the boiling temperature in the room began to decrease, his voice taking a rough edge due to too much intake of alcohol as he stood up to throw open the window and stand by it, the smell of wet earth permeating the room.
"Why are you getting so worked up?" Ambrose closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, liking the smell of wet earth while Archimedes stood up to join George by the window.
"Seems like he got a thing for the girl but the question is: 'How did they meet?', since Landmark is not the going out type; rather prefer to be locked up in this manor than showing his face in a gathering. Nun" Achlys insulted.
"Met at the meeting held at Nobles sweet" George filled them in and all eyes turned to look at Landmark even Desdemona that hadn't moved an inch from his previous position.
"They did what..?!"
