This is a fair warning this is a stupid chapter. This one is so dumb but I love it X'D Thank you to the VA for Heisenberg for giving the non-canon lines that birthed this idea and to Dark Moons Daughter for making me aware that they existed. An extra thank you to the same Dark moons Daughter for putting up with my nonsense while talking about this idea. it's beautiful stupidity. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Charlotte woke up the next morning tired and groggy with a sigh as she turned off the alarm. "Time to get up." She grumbles while rolling out of bed. Just act like nothing happened. to be fair. nothing did happen.
Heisenberg grumbled in response as he removed his hat from his face which managed to stay in place through the night. That. was a pretty awful night of sleep... "What's the plan?" he asks as he shifts to sit up.
"Well... I was thinking we could go to Cora's today and just save the hardware stuff for tomorrow it will be easier to move that into the room. if we get the hardware supplies first we'll have to leave them in the truck." She explains and Heisenberg nods.
"leaving them susceptible for people to just take," He says and she nods.
"exactly," she replies. "We'll have half a day left after that but it's either that or go back early and if we do that," Charlotte says and pauses as she notices Heiseberg nodding again and anticipated that he was going to finish the sentence again.
"Miranda will make the trips shorter in general," Heisenberg says with a sigh.
"Bingo," She says with a frown. "So I'll probably just work on my next report for work in the meantime."
"...So why the fuck did we have to wake up?" Heisenberg asks annoyed.
"Did you not want breakfast?" Charlotte asks with mild amusement.
Heisenberg grumbles and walks off to go take a shower.
The two gather up some breakfast and after that, lazed around the hotel room. Well, Heisenberg did while Charlotte rather quickly clicked away at her laptop keyboard. He tried peaking a few times to see what she was working on and was still having trouble reading it. he was able to pick up a few basic words but nothing that would really tell him anything useful.
"Alright, I think that should be a good stopping point, are you ready to head out?"
"I was waiting on you," Heisenberg points out with a bored expression. maybe they should have just planned to go back a day early...
Charlotte packed up her laptop before taking her wallet out of her bag. "Fair enough, let's get moving then." She says and walks with Heisenberg out of the hotel so they could drive over to the Cora's. She grabbed a cart and walked alongside him into the store. "You usually like looking around the technology section right? That's usually my last stop thought. If you want to spend a bit more time looking around we can split up?" She offers hesitantly. "we both have phones so finding each other won't be difficult and you have the key to the truck so I'm not exactly going anywhere," She points out.
"Trust me I'm not worried about you running for it," He replies with a short laugh, "If I didn't know any better I'd say you actually want to stay."
"Well, The company isn't so bad," She replies with a slight smile. "See you in an hour or two, try not to break anything."
Pssh, him, break things. Okay. He rolled his eyes at that and walked off to look around. He spent a good hour or so looking around at different technology there were some weird-looking movies on some of the screens where it had remotes by the display. he still wasn't completely sure how to change the channel on those. he ended up poking around at a few sound systems which would each start playing different types of music. None of them were really any good in his mind. Some were more bearable than others but that's not really great. The attempts and music did cause his mind to wander slightly to the prior night. That music wasn't completely awful...
He thought about it a bit more. They were going to have to talk about it eventually... He was going to have to talk about it to her eventually. he doubted she'd say a word. She probably didn't even notice or realize what was going through his head back then thanks to the interruption. again he looked down to his chest. Thanks for nothing you stupid parasite. "Well now what..." even if he thought he had a good idea in his head. that didn't always mean that it would roll off the tongue the same way.
The tech department of the story was pretty busy though and maybe not the best place for thinking out loud. Upon realizing that he wandered off a bit and down a few Isles into a section of small home appliances that was luckily quite vacant.
He was alone now but back to the original dilemma. He picked up his hat to mess with his hair then put it back into place. just try talking. "Look, we've known each other a while now. We haven't always seen eye to eye. Lately, things have been. different." Yeah no, that wasn't it... he gave a quiet sigh. and tried again. You're a hell of a woma- nonono that was too much even as a thought. um. " I don't think I can ignore this anymore, See I"
"Karl?" Charlotte asks as she turns into the aisle with her shopping cart and a confused expression. who was he talking to?
Quick! think of something. "I've been noticing you in the appliance section, I think you're pretty hot," he says looking at the nearest appliance as he leaned a bit on the shelf while smiling at the appliance. Okay, so he was talking to a toaster. great, now she'd think he was insane. He spared a quick glance to see if she ran off or not only to find she was there and trying not to laugh. his smile became a bit more genuine upon noticing that and he decided to see if he could get her to laugh. "Listen why don't we get some scones and some butter and uh, make some toast, if you know what I mean," he says now smirking as he wiggled his eyebrows a bit. "If you're not doing anything later, maybe I could plug you in."
Charlotte openly laughs, which felt like a victory to him. He managed to take a potentially awkward situation and make it feel natural. Like he knew she was there the whole time and was just goofing off.
"Oh my gosh, should I give you two some privacy? I feel like I'm interrupting a very important moment for you both." She offers with an amused smile as she stays by the cart.
"Nah, it's fine," Heisenberg says shaking his head.
With permission to stay granted, Charlotte moved the cart over so she could stand by Heisenberg. "Are you sure? because after that display I'm wondering if I'll need a separate room."
"Sweet of you to offer but sadly, This is a star-crossed affair," He jokes back. "We'll never truly be together."
"Come on now Romeo you can't give up that easily. By the way, would it be rude to get you two a toaster as a wedding gift?" She teased.
He scoffs at that in return. "Oh, now a Wedding? I think you're getting ahead of yourself there," the metal lord replies still smirking as he fixes his posture so he was no longer leaning against the shelf.
"Of course not. What would her father think if she was sullied before marriage?" Charlotte says while chuckling to herself. She was going to end up buying a toaster, wasn't she? "The village would be in outrage."
"Bold of you to assume the toaster is a her," He replies amused. This was somehow, kinda fun to just joke around with her.
"Hmm, I'm pretty sure I'm right," Charlotte replies as she now leans on the cart with a confident smile.
"and why is that," he asks now a bit worried that maybe she heard more than he thought.
Charlotte tries not to laugh at this point "You're going to hate me for this answer..." she says quietly and partially hides her face. "because there are two slots, not just one..."
Oh lord please end hi-...wait. what? it took him a second to register what she said before booming laughter escaped him. "Did you really just fucking say that," He asks through his laughter. "This one is taken go find your own," he adds as he moves to put one arm around the toaster while shooing her away with the other.
"She's a cute toaster, I can see why you like her," Charlotte teases with a chuckle.
"So now you're flirting with my toaster, you homewrecker," he jokingly accuses.
"Well someone has to save her from you right?" Charlotte says with a shit-eating grin.
Heisenberg leans a bit closer to the toaster while still looking at charlotte with a smile. "Don't listen to her, sweetheart."
"He calls everyone that," Charlotte whispers to the toaster before shaking her head. "Oh my gosh I am talking to a toaster... I've officially lost it, haven't I?"
"Been wondering when you'd finally realize. Now, stop harassing my toaster." Heisenberg teased.
"I'm harassing the toaster?" Charlotte asks now laughing once more. "you know what. okay." She pauses and starts picking up the various boxes of that model of toaster from the shelf.
"Are you really buying a toaster," Heisenberg asks with a short chuckle as he shifts to stand properly once more since it seemed like the flirtation was coming to a close.
"Give me a minute," she says and walks away with the boxes.
Heisenberg's amused expression shifted to one of partial concern as he watched her walk away with 5 toaster boxes than not come back. What on earth was she doing. He waited by the cart for a bit before she eventually returned with an employee.
"That one there. See I can't find any on the shelf. would it be okay if I just buy the display model? It's fine if it doesn't have a box." Charlotte requests with a sad smile that was similarly asking for help.
"Um. well." the employee scans the barcode by the label "weird... it says we have 5 in stock... Yeah one second..." the employee says and presses a few buttons on their scanner causing it to print out a label which they put on the toaster before unhooking it and handing it to her. "Here you go."
"Thanks so much, you're a lifesaver," She replies with a smile and accepts the toaster.
"Sure, Have a good day." the worker says before heading out.
once they were out of earshot Heisenberg looks over the top of his glasses to stare at Charlotte with a raised eyebrow. "You're buying, the toaster."
Charlotte offers the metal cube "Who am I to get in the way of true love, enjoy."
"Look I uh," He accepts the toaster with a bit of a smirk. come on she was flirting back just say something. He watched as her gentle smile shifted to a frightened expression of concern.
"Karl your shirt," She says and he looks down to find that yet again, the stupid parasite was acting up.
"Damn it, get back in there," he grumbles as he once more poked and prodded at his chest to get the thing to go back into place.
"Maybe we should go," Charlotte says. "Are you going to be okay?"
"Yeah, Fine," he says with a nod once everything was back into place. The two made it through the check-out line and out of the store. Charlotte had her cart full of supplies and Heisenberg had a toaster under his arm and a dumb grin on his face. This whole trip had been unusual. It's stupid and funny and she flirted back with him and he has proof. He had a toaster.
The two made their way back to the Motel room where he sets the Toaster down on the table between their beds and sits down to take off his boots.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Charlotte asks with a concerned expression. "That's the second time now that's happened in less than 24 hours... I've known you for a while now and that's never happened before."
"I told you it's fine, the dumb parasite is just being stupid is all," He replies as he shifts to sit on his bed and relax a bit before digging out his phone. maybe he could practice with that English learning app for a bit.
Charlotte paused a bit before leaning back against the wall and staring at him. she wasn't completely convinced to be honest. It was probably even worse that it kinda freaked her out each time it happened. If she was going to cover for him if it happened again in a crowd she'd need to be able to not react. At least be calmer than she was last night. "... can I see it?" She asks hesitantly.
Heisenberg lowered his phone screen to look at her over the top of his glasses with a smirk "didn't think you'd be the kind to ask for a peep show." he teased before going back to his phone. that aught to scare her off. "Besides, it's fuckin gross so pretty sure that's the last thing you wanna go poking at."
Charlotte rolls her eyes "well it's not every day someone has a squid thing stuck in their chest. And it's been really active lately." She points out in return. "Don't you think I should at least know what it is so I can help cover for you if it happens again when people are around? like I said before everyone has a camera in their pocket. you know how quickly those things work now."
"... Fine. Just don't go screaming when I warned you it's gross." He relents with a short shake of his head as he remembered her fearful expression from last night. That did kinda suck. Maybe she was right about this being important for her to be used to it.
"Fine," She replies with a nod.
Heisenberg leans back a bit to rest his back along the headboard of the bed then adjusts a few buttons from the collar of his shirt and motions for her to join him so she can see the crevice.
"it looks painful..." She admits quietly as she moves to take a seat on the edge of the bed.
He shrugs "can't really feel it anymore." He says and taps at the spot to try and prove his point before giving a short huff of a chuckle and motions that it's okay if she did the same to try and prove his point. "go ahead. You're not gonna hurt me."
Charlotte hesitates a bit before cautiously reaching over to poke at the scar. to her surprise, it opens slightly as a tendril pops out and quickly pokes her hand in return before retreating. The initial surprise wore off quickly and she laughed. "it's certainly got a personality."
"It's alive, what were you expecting," he replies with an amused smirk.
"Didn't really consider that," She admits while still curiously staring at the malleable scar. "So, is it its own thing, or is this a shared brain scenario?" She asks as it slowly opened again.
"bit of both," he admits as he continues to watch her stare at it. a few tendrils popped out after and Charlotte wiggles her fingers at them to see if they'd react. Sure enough, it did as it wiggled back and even reached out to start wrapping around her fingers.
"aw... It's kinda cute, in a weird way" She admits as she gently played with the tendrils by running moving her fingers around to pets, and pokes at it. It was certainly unusual, it wasn't damp or anything like that. her original statement of it being squidlike seems accurate. they were soft and almost spongey since they lack a bone structure. "Hello little friend," She says quietly with a chuckle as she worked on feeling more comfortable about this unusual addition.
Heisenberg Could feel his eyes were swimming behind his glasses as she messed with his not so metaphorical heartstrings. He maybe should have been a bit clearer that the cadou was still connected to his nervous system. Maybe this was a, 'you can't tickle yourself' sort of situation because he didn't realize this would happen. Not that he minded in the slightest at the moment. Quite the opposite actually. It felt, really good. It was like having someone scratch an itch you didn't know you had that had been there for years... What was his name again?
Charlotte chuckled a bit as there were now five or six tendrils wiggling around and messing with her hand. It was certainly unusual but, this was kinda helping her be less afraid of it since it wasn't exactly hurting her. the sound of cracking got her attention as the opening widens slightly but Heisenberg didn't seem to react to it at all... guess he really didn't feel this thing. How big was I- OH good god was that an eye? She resisted the urge to scoot away though as the tendrils around her hand held on and gently tugged at her hand. Right. Okay trying to get used to the parasite thing. Just, relax it's not that scary. She gently ran her fingers along the edge of the crevice but stops as she hears a grunt in response and Heisenberg quickly moves to grab her hand and move it away.
He clears his throat, "Let's not get carried away," He says as the tendrils let go and started retreating.
"Sorry, did that hurt?" She asks with a worried expression.
"Nah... just don't need the Lil shit getting too relaxed or I'll never get this closed up proper," Heisenberg replies before poking at it himself and getting the thing to retreat. more shifting and cracking occurred until it looked like a scar once more. He stretches his shoulders a bit "There we go, good as new."
Charlotte smile in return with a short chuckle. "Alright well... Thanks. For trusting me enough to explain all this to me." She says with a gentle smile. It was kinda an odd request to make of him so she was flattered he'd humor it.
"Yeah," he replies with a short laugh. say something, she's right there, "Say, if you're not busy later maybe we could." why was he blanking... "make some toast?" NOT THAT!
"In front of the misses, you scoundrel," She replies with a laugh before giving him a half-hearted swat to the shoulder and getting up. what a goof. "I have a bit more work to finish. let me know if you need anything."
you. "Okay," he replies with a slight frown.
'*'*'*'*'
The two wrapped up their trip by the 14th without much other fanfare and make it back in time for Miranda's deadline. This gave Heisenberg plenty of time to wander around the factory distracted with his thought and how to try and verbalize them. He tried having Charlotte over a few times over the next month. but even that didn't seem to be helping much. It was now June 19th and he had made Zero progress on anything aside from the army... he looked over from the paperwork to find Charlotte smiling at her phone. Wait. why was she smiling at her phone?
He puzzled over that for a second. she wasn't texting him and it was his turn for their game of chess.
"Alright, well. I need to head out. it's getting late and I still need to stop by Duke's to pick up a package I ordered." she says while poking at her phone.
huh. "What did you order?"
"nothing special. just a dress for the holiday coming up. I think Luiza called it San-zine?"
"Sanziene" He replies amused. "Didn't take you for the sort to be interested in that given how much you panicked about dancing before. Planning on dreaming about prince charming?" He leans over a bit to try and play it off as teasing her but he was really trying to get a peek at her screen.
Charlotte smiled slightly at that and nudge him away. "That was right after Miranda made a 'shack up' announcement. Of course I was nervous then," she replied but left that last bit unaddressed. Luiza did mention that this had a similar tradition to that Basil thing.
He frowned slightly as he was unable to read much before getting nudged away. Suppose the only option left was to be direct. "So, Duke has a phone?" Heisenberg asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Hm? No, he doesn't why?" Charlotte replies as she puts her phone away in her pinafore pocket.
then who was she talking to... "You're not contacting the outside are you?" He asks with further curiosity. supposed that made some sense, she did still do stuff for work. He didn't think she was talking with anyone else.
"Kinda." she bobbed her head. "I have another meeting with Alex tomorrow to get another villager out."
right. he almost forgot about the thorn in his side. "He has a phone too?"
"Yeah, I mean it's kinda important for him to have one so we can coordinate," Charlotte says in return with a confused expression. "I made sure he had one the month after he left."
This just got more complicated. How often have they been talking? What all has that shit been saying to her without him knowing? Granted it's not like he could hear them when he'd check on their monthly meetings. still.
"Are you okay?" Charlotte asks concerned, the parasite didn't look like it was acting up again.
"Fine. Just a headache," he says while cleaning up the papers that went over the latest Soldat designs. He certainly did have a headache and its name was Alex. Well screw you Alex, I have a toaster. Do you have a toaster? didn't think so... he thought while grumbling under his breath.
"Oh," she replies still worried "Alright well I'll get out of your hair then so you can rest."
That wasn't what he wanted either but he'd be darned if he was going to try again right now and end up with another 'toast' incident where she thought he was joking. "See you at the festival then."
"you're going?" She asks surprised as she packs up to leave.
"Kinda have to sweetheart, I'm a lord. Remember?" He replies still partially frowning.
He calls everyone that.
"Ah, so this is a participation required holiday. got it." She nods "try not to be too bored. I'll see if I can sneak you and Salvatore some snacks."
He nods at that.
Cheers, to a surprisingly pleasant alliance, and dare I hesitantly say an unexpected friendship.
This sucked. She really only saw him as a friend didn't she...
"See you around then," She replied as her concerned expression returned, his headache must be getting worse...
"See you around," he replied and with a wave of his hand, the doors for the factory opened so she could leave.
Charlotte made her way into town after that still worrying for a bit but ultimately she let it go. He was an adult. Heck, he was technically old enough to be her great grandfather. He could take care of himself.
"Miss Wiltse, A pleasure to see you as always," Duke greeted with his signature customer service smile.
Yeah no, she still didn't like him one bit. food would not buy her. especially when it was that overpriced. "Good to see you as well," she replied courteously all the same. "I was wondering if my package is available?"
"Yes, it's all right here and ready for you," he replies and pulls a cloth bag out from behind him. how did he keep doing that? "One plain white dress, and two healthy bundles of Lady's Bedstraw flowers. Very popular items this time of year. Paid for in advance."
"Yep. that's the one," She replies and accepts the offered bag.
"Excellent, Ah, while you're at it could you let Lord Moreau know that his Package will be available for pick up on the 23rd. I know he requested the 24th but even I wouldn't dare upset the spirits and work during Sanziene." He says with a laugh.
"I'll pass along the message." She agrees with a nod.
"Good luck," he says, and the two-part ways.
Charlotte carried her bag back to the Reservoir and into the mines where Moreau was contently watching a movie and eating cheese. "Hey Salvatore,' she greets with a smile and he looks over. "huh, it's been a while since we watched this one." She says as she noticed he was watching his original favorite movie. the happy-go-lucky black and white film where the plucky young man gets the cute girl in the end.
"yeah," he replies with a nod.
"Oh, Duke says he'll have your package ready for pick up on the 23rd." she relays which causes an unusual expression to appear on his face. horror? surprise?
"Oh. uh. o-okay" he says with a nod.
"What did you order?" she asks with mild curiosity. this was an unusual reaction for him. he usually just ordered cheese.
"Nothing!" he says quickly and goes back to his movie.
"O-kay," she replies a bit concerned but drops it. he didn't seem to want to talk about it. instead, she went back to her half of the room and sat down with her bag, and took out some of the flowers to start weaving them together into wreaths for the holidays before calling it a night and heading to bed.
The next morning Charlotte prepared for the impending visit from Alex. She went through her usual motions. Wake up, go with Moreau to the lake, get her allotment of water, go back, make some breakfast then head out for the day. this time instead of going straight into the village she went off the beaten trail to find a young woman who was clutching a stachel.
"ready?" charlotte asks and the woman nervously nods.
"Yeah... thank you again," she says and Charlotte leads the way.
"Don't worry about it, just be available to help as needed," she requests and the woman nods in return.
"Of course, I'll never forget you," she says with a smile.
The two eventually make it to the meeting point and enter the slight outcove that had been a safe haven for the resistance effort of charlottes for the last 6 months. It was hard to believe that it had been that long... she'd been stuck in this village for almost a year now. well stuck was a relative word at this point since she wasn't exactly trying to actively escape anymore...
"Charlotte?" a quiet voice whispered while moving closer to the meeting point. Charlotte peaks out of the hiding place and smiles before hurrying over to give Alex his usual greeting hug. This time however he picks her up enough to lift her feet off the forest floor and spins once before putting her back down. "Ah it's good to see you" he says with a blushing grin.
"Good to see you too" she replies with a smile as the two seporate. "Here's your escort," Charlotte says before motioning for the woman to follow who stared at Alex surprised.
"The Luthier? but. everyone says you're," she starts but Alex cuts her off.
"Dead?" he finishes the sentence with a chuckle. "Not exactly no but it makes for a good story."
"...Do you ever miss it?" the woman asks hesitantly. "The village?" she adds as clarification.
Alex shakes his head "Not really. it was difficult to adjust at first but, you have people waiting for you to help." He says with a smile "though... I suppose the holidays here were nice, it seems like the rest of the world barely pays them any mind." He admits before an expression of realization crosses his face. "Ah, right I almost forgot." he pus a hand in his jacket pocket and takes out a small piece of Lady's Bedstraw flower. "For good luck," he says and moves to place it in Charlotte's hair.
Heisenberg watched this all from his usual perch with a sneer. Get your hands off her. okay good. now stay the hell away and. His frown deepened as he watched the luthier take a flower from his pocket and carefully place it in Charlotte's hair. he couldn't see what kind it was but it was more than enough information to know that this guy really was trying to steal her away from him. and she wasn't telling him off. the 3 ants spoke a bit longer before eventually, to his relief two left and one remained and went back to the village.
'*'*'*'*'
The holidays swiftly approached after this Charlotte sat on her sleeping bag the night of Sanziene. She took the Flower from her hair and placed that under her pillow before looking around. Moreau was nowhere to be seen and it was late.
"He's late... hopefully he's okay." She whispers before taking out her phone.
Tuesday, June 23rd 10:32 PM
She frowned as she noticed the time and sent a message to Heisenberg.
[Charlotte] Hey have you seen Salvatore recently? He's been gone all day...
[Karl] Haven't seen the freak. I'll try calling him
[Charlotte] He has a name
[Karl] Dont care.
Charlotte continued to frown at that. What a jerk. Why was he so intent on being rude to everyone... Granted he'd been nicer to her for a while now which was appreciated but. Still. A jerk is a jerk. Salvatore was her friend. She heard the landline ring and walked over to pick it up. "Hello?" she greets.
"Well guess that means he really isn't here. I'll try his lab." Karl says and hangs up.
She gives a quiet sigh. Yeah, she still needed to work with him on that too... She made it back to her sleeping bag and before long her phone went off again.
[Karl] He's at his lab. says he's going to be late and not to wait for him.
The lab. she shook her head. that meant a dead body showed up most likely... that always made her feel guilty when he'd have to go to that dumb lab but, at least he was kind enough not to make her go with and help. He seemed to understand that she was uncomfortable being there. At least now she wasn't worried that he was hurt.
Charlotte laid down to get some sleep. In her dream, she was back in the parking lot of that dumb motel. Music played in the background as she happily laughed while being spun around only to stop as she was face to face with none other than Heisenberg. a moment in time that she, oddly enough, still regretted. The dream allowed her the chance to rectify the mistake as the two kissed.
Charlotte woke up the next morning and held her face. Why did she have feelings for him? why couldn't she dream of Alex instead... He was stable. he was kind. He believed in her enough to actually help her instead of just ask for her help. It was a healthy relationship. "What is wrong with me..." she said with a tired sigh before getting up and getting ready for the day by braiding flowers into her hair and getting dressed in white.
Not so seporate from Charlotte's experience, Heisenberg eventually called it a night to get some rest. he'd have to wake up early for the dumb festival anyways. His dream placed him back in that motel room with Charlotte sitting at his bedside. Within the safety of his dream, he indulges in the words he wanted to say and the things he wanted to do that day he let her play with his heart.
He wakes up feeling a bit disoriented but slowly reaches under his pillow to remove a stem of small yellow flowers and smiles a bit at it. It was a nice dream. A cruel voice in the back of his mind began to eat away at the dream reminding him it was only that. She didn't actually care about him. This was all in his head. A fantasy and nothing more. His tired smile was replaced with a grumpy frown as he crumpled up the flower before casting it aside. what in the hell was he doing...
He sat up and eventually got ready for the day. He washed, dressed, and picked up his hammer before heading out to join the festivities. Miranda had insisted that the lords. 'Mingle' again since it did such wonders for Morale last time. Thanks for nothing. he grumbled to himself as he walked through the villages. women dressed in white were throwing wreaths of flowers onto their houses and giggling to themselves about the dreams they had, courtesy of the Lady's Bedstraw flower under their pillow. Disgusting.
'Hello Lord Heisenberg' 'Good to see you, Lord Heisenberg,' 'how have you been Lord Heisenberg?'
Piss off. No it's not. horrid. he wanted to answer each but he remained curtesy by saying nothing aside from tipping his hat.
"Are you looking for Miss Charlotte?" one eventually asks and he shook his head.
"Why in the hell would I be?" he asked with a neutral expression.
"Oh um...Never mind then I guess," the villager replies nervously before hurrying off.
This whole place was just getting on his nerves... The metal lord wandered off to the woods to get a break from everyone only to see something even more irritating.
"Okay. you can do it. just like in the movies." Moreau says nodding to himself while holding a bundle of mostly fresh flowers that he'd been hiding in his lab for a full day, since they arrived early at Duke's. "Miss Charlotte, Um, I. oh no..." the lord quickly puts down the bundle before walking far enough away to puke. "come on. you can do it." he coached himself as he hobbled back to pick up the flowers with unusual determination. "one more try."
You're not going to tell me, that even this mess has more nads in regards to talking to Charlotte about their feelings? he thought irritated beyond belief. First he had to worry about the dumbass from the village with the dead kid and now the FREAK thinks he has a chance? what was he? chop liver?
"The hell do you think you're doing?" Heisenberg asks as he walks into view which causes Moreau to jolt slightly before facing him.
"B-brother" He says surprised. "I uh. I was gonna trys to talk to Charlotte and um."
"You really think that bitch'd ever be interested in a fucking freak like you? That cadou really did eat your godamn brain if you think you could ever be with a human." Heisenberg says with a sneer that causes the smile on moreau's face to fade. "Besides, betcha didn't know she's been running off to see some man in the woods huh? Hurts doesn't it. Get your head out of your ass." Heisenberg says as a shard of metal flies by and cuts the stems of the flowers and causes them to fall to the ground. "You didn't think it would actually work between the two of you right?" he wasn't sure if he was telling all of this to Moreau or himself...
Moreau stares at the broken bundle of flowers and tries picking them up. "B-but... In the movie... he gives the girl flowers and They end up happy. And she's Nice to me evens though people don't like me much."
"This isn't a fuckin movie, I mean just look at you! You're pathetic," He says angrily as tears start to bubble in the corners of Moreau's eyes.
The now sufficiently crushed and upset water lord quickly hobbled away while making upset gurgles.
Heisenberg waited and stared at the mess he made, he didn't feel better. it still sucked and it made it worse to admit all that out loud to himself even if he was venting his frustration on the walking vomit machine.
He wandered on his own for a good half hour before a villager approached out of breath. "L-lord Heisenberg... Mother Miranda is calling for the lords. She says it's urgent."
Heeey look at that cliffhanger lolol sorry about that hopefully you can forgive me. I'll have the next chapter out as soon as I can. :) hope you all enjoyed the chapter u things are starting to really get moving so probably won't be long now ufufu. I wonder what Miranda wants.

Black Moons Daughter - Jealousy is quite the monster to deal with and it seems like he's certainly losing that fight ufufu~ Couldn't let things get too fluffy though, next chapter is going to be fun lol.
