[matchbreaker]

Well, not to your wardrobe.

But to flowers and fruits, certainly.

[manufactured]

Now, if it could be returned to our physical traits as well, that would be nice.

[Because like hell if he's admitting it to Ardyn ever, but his damn eyes, though.]

You seem to be in a good mood today.

[matchbreaker]

Ah, right, your eyes.

I found a particularly nice hat. I'm not a fan of hats with how they look with my hair, but if I'm going to need to keep out the sun then... I need to adapt.

[manufactured]

Keep out the sun...?

[Are you...okay...is this why he needs to remember to check on you more often, or- ]

[matchbreaker]

Oh gosh, had I seriously not told you before now?

[ ahaha.. hah. Or he heard through other means ]

This whole month's gotten away from me, I'm sorry Albert.

My eyes changed earlier this month, I'm very sensitive to light now.

[manufactured]

...For what it's worth, you're not the only one it's gotten away from. I haven't precisely been seeking out conversation with most people, for a multitude of reasons.

[Not least of which because words are hard and he also doesn't particularly want to discuss the...anything that half the past month has decided to be.]

What sort of change, however...? Just the light sensitivity, or something else along with it?

[matchbreaker]

They're red now, and I've been told that they change when my mood's foul or something else happens. Also I can see in the dark.

[manufactured]

...Interesting.

Do let me know if there are further changes...?

[matchbreaker]

Of course! I'm sorry this took so long in the first place.

Try to tell me if anything happens to you?

[manufactured]

[...]

It's fine, Elda, don't let it concern you.

I haven't experienced anything quite that drastic; just the occasional vision of things that are a little unfortunate. I'll tell you if anything major changes, however.

[matchbreaker]

I've not had very many visions, myself. Most of them were confusing.

... Let's meet up, I can give you some blueberries.

[manufactured]

[Normally he sort of balks a bit at this sort of thing when he's not exactly anticipating it in advance, but - ]

I'd like that. Whenever you have time.

[matchbreaker]

Might as well strike while the iron's hot. You free tonight? We can meet

[ . . . Too short of notice for any actually nice restaurant or anything... ]

Well we could just stay at your place or maybe Yamazaki's Paris.

[manufactured]

I'm free tonight. And if you wouldn't mind coming here, I certainly wouldn't complain.

[matchbreaker]

No, of course, it would be my pleasure, Albert. Around 9, if that's alright? I don't want to drive in the sun.

[manufactured]

I'll be looking forward to it.

[...The amount of trying that is going into this, Elda.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Honestly...

She's amazed too. So much so it's a little ... flattering? That's probably a good word for it. And as such, she's more than all over driving to his place that night after telling Toushiro and Silver she'll be out. She even brings a particularly nice wine bottle that even if they don't end up using it it's a nice welcoming gift. ]

[manufactured]

[You know what, he will even ensure that his helldogs are put up somewhere that they'll be out of the way and won't maul you, because that is a thing that tends to happen to people in this residence and he should probably be more bothered by this than he is.

However, mauling Elda is not a thing that's going to be allowed to happen today, and the dogs have chilled the fuck out and are nowhere that they'll be a nuisance, and while he always generally looks presentable, he...actually has the sunglasses off for once; he appreciates the wine, all right.]

...Elda. It's good to see you.

[...Flattering or not, this is still what you have chosen to align yourself with, Elda, good lord.]

[matchbreaker]

[ The fact it is past sundown is the only reason that she isn't wearing sunglasses, honestly. But here she is, in all her glory - her hair styled a little despite the short notice (just brushed nice and pushed up here and there, nothing fancy) and wearing a nice dress (though not one she doesn't wear regularly anyway) she comes to door and is pleasantly surprised that she doesn't see a dog anywhere.

Those things are spooky.

Speaking of spooky, she is looking up at him with bright red eyes, which in the light of the night might almost be a little reflective, like a predator of some sort ]

Likewise, Albert.

[manufactured]

[...Well, then.

Just...come in, Elda, he'll find something to say in a moment.]

When you told me about the eyes, I'll admit that that wasn't quite what I expected.

It...suits you, I rather like it.

[matchbreaker]

I'm not sure I agree about the suiting me thing! But I'm getting used to it.

[ Sort of. The whole not being out during the day... thing. Sucks. But all the same, she laughs a little at the compliment, coming on in and humming up at him. ]

It's still nice to hear that, though.

[manufactured]

I can imagine it'd be the sort of thing that would take getting used to, I'll certainly grant that.

[He's not going to deny they're sort of jarring, if you're unused to it, but at the same time he certainly doesn't see it as a bad thing, either.

...All right, maybe the whole "not going out during the day" thing is kind of not great but he's a fucking shut-in outside of work, so.]

[matchbreaker]

They really are. Sometimes they change to be a little more cat-like too, apparently. I don't know how to do it at will.

[ Shrug. ]

[manufactured]

...Do tell me, if you ever work it out.

[jesus christ.]

[matchbreaker]

I'll be certain to.

[ With an exhale, she'll just welcome herself to a seat in his house at one of the tables here in or near the kitchen. ]

Have you done anything lately?
