The dark room was only illuminated by the gentle glow of a candle set atop a desk, and the silence was broken by the sound of a quill scratching away at paper. The door creaked open slowly, making a low creaking sound as it did. Yet the one writing at the desk paid no heed to whoever was entering.
A figure stepped in, tall and thin, and approached the desk without a word. The scratching sound stopped, and the hand that held the quill moved to set it down. The hand moved again to lift the candle holder, the light now showing both of their faces. A pair of bright blue eyes looked back at the one that sat at the desk, making the corners of their mouth twitch slightly in amusement.
"You've always had such beautiful eyes my dear…" The one sitting murmured in a deep yet sonorous voice. The other produced a small giggle in response before letting out a small sigh through parted lips. "And you have always been so charming, haven't you? But you know we don't have time for flirting at the moment, do you Alec, my dear~?"
Alec chuckled and shook his head, "You are… Correct, Serene… Very much correct… But, however…. I have found our next guests.. That does deserve a bit of time now does it sweetheart~?" He asked as he stood slowly and picked up the paper he had been writing on.
Serene's eyes widened in what seemed to be possible joy and pride, quickly walking over to stand beside the other. "You have made process! Wonderful! Who is our main guest this time my dear?" She asked excitedly, glancing at the paper and back at Alec. Alec pushed up the black glasses that were perched on his nose, a small smile playing on his lips. "You have heard of Erwin Smith correct?"
That name seemed to have also gotten a reaction out of the woman. "Erwin Smith…? You don't mean the Erwin Smith do you…? That man is the head of many corporations… How do you even think he would find such time to come to our little mansion?"
The man actually grinned this time, leaning down slightly to plant a kiss on Serene's cheek. "We must only hope… But of course I am sure we can come to terms, me being quite the businessman myself. Though he may bring that thug along with him… Levi Rivaille was it..?"
"I heard he is a terrifying man… But that would only increase the enjoyment wouldn't it? A big businessman… A thug….. And oh, who else…? You did manage to get the orphanage at the edge of town to let the children participate in our little… Event. Did you?" Serene wondered as she moved away from Alec, her movements graceful like a dancer performing on stage.
Alec didn't reply at first, sitting down and placing the paper back on the desk in front of him. After a few moments of silence, he cleared his throat and spoke with glee. "But of course! We do wish to seem charitable now don't we? Plus, they're attendance will just make this event all the more exciting! They will be present my dear… I promise you that."
A grin then appeared on the woman's face as she faced him, arms crossed. "We only have a few days until our special day, and you plan on hosting this event tomorrow night? That would be just the right amount of time… Just perfect…" She said with a laugh following soon after.
Alec stood once again and walked around the desk, wrapping his arms around the other's waist once he got to her. "I know… I know… It will be marvelous, It will be. We will get back again Serene… Just wait and we will… Patience... Patience…"
