The air was heavy. There was a sense of regret that could be felt suffocating the air. Each breath was strained. There was a soft clink that echoed ever louder in the silence as the tea cup was brought to the table, missing the serving plate altogether.

"My Lord?"

He received no reply, only continued silence that saturated the air with uneasiness.

"Shall I get more tea?"

Still no reply.

"The report needs to be sent by noon tomorrow."

Nothing, save a shifting in clothing.

"I'll retrieve new tea, and bring the bandages to change yours."

"Sebastian."

"Yes, My Lord?"

He watched as a bandaged hand reached up and removed the flimsy cloth, revealing a definite answer.

"Go get her."

Another shift.

"Kill any who oppose..."

A final shift and a clenched hand.

"Bring me back Rose!"

His lips curled in a smile. He gently replaced the tea set on the table, and his hands rose to brush off his uniform.

"Yes, My Lord."
