Sera walks beside her following a few steps behind. She refuses to look at her at all as Carmilla takes her on a tour of the districts.
"So you couldn't stand being with me so much you decided that Hell was the better option, how mature Ms. Carmine."
"You're just jealous I earned my place, instead of being created for it."
"Like I had a say in my creation. Now I only have Emily and even I am not sure how she feels about me. It would have been simpler had I not been crafted at all. Then everyone else would be better off. You wouldn't have had to deal with me, the exterminations wouldn't exist, Emily would be better off…"
She stops and stares at the embassy as though it's a monument to her failure then resumes her pace to keep up with Carmilla.
"So…overlords…"
Carmilla: We are high ranking sinners of hell. We control parts of hell, from fashion and media all the way to weapons. Over time you will find what you're the overlord of and your power shall come around.
Sera: Like how you run a weapons business
Carmilla: I found an underutilized market and decided to provide a service.
Sera: Noted, perhaps could start an insurance company followed up by a law firm
Carmilla: That's the worst possible thing to make in a place that murder is legal.
Sera: Is it murder when sinner don't truly die?
Carmilla: Even the poorest sinner has the means to kill another... Exorcists tend to leave their weapons behind. I may be a dealer in angel weapons, but at least I am regulated, those that pick them up off the street are unpredictable, wanting nothing more than to gain power. No matter the cost.
Sera: Isn't that what you do Ms. Carmine? And I was referring more to housing insurance anyway. Like what humans do on earth.
Carmilla: then stay away from the doomsday district.
Sera: Sounds like a looohole I could use to my advantage. … When did you decide to adopt?
Carmilla:... When Vaggie told me why she was kicked out of Heaven.
Sera: ? We never kicked her out, the official report said she refused to return.
Carmilla: And I'm sure they also said she cut out her own eye as well.
Sera: The report said she lashed out as they tr-I'm sorry, did you say cut out?
Carmilla: I saw her without her eye patch once, I know a sword injury when I've seen one... and last time I checked Vaggie didn't carry a sword.
Sera: Lute.
Carmilla: That's what I've been told
Sera: The archangel Micheal has been going through the behavior of the exorcist with a fine tooth comb. I have a feeling she shall be punished accordingly. Emily can no longer vouch for her.
She pauses and looks at Carmilla.
Sera: Why did you fall?
Carmilla: You can't tell me heaven is trust worthy. At least down here you know where you stand with others, up there, you never know who is ready to stab you in the back. I didn't want Odette to there.
Sera: I see, so you never saw me as trustworthy…I suppose I can…understand that.
Carmilla kept a straight face, but inside she wanted to scream.
Carmilla: Come on, if you wish to learn more, we must continue.
Sera follows silently heart breaking even more taking her avoidance of personal matters as further confirmation. She had tried so hard to be the best girlfriend she could be at the time. Every word Carmilla says about the current district doesn't register.
Carmilla: For... reasons, we will be staying far from the entertainment districts.
Sera: The Vs I presume? Angel was…colorful, in describing his boss.
Carmilla: Not only Valentino... Velvette... that Bruja has no respect for anyone. She wanted to rage war against Heaven, and would not listen to reason.
Sera glances down at the clothes she's currently wearing.
Sera: I'm wondering how well you actually know her and if you have ever communicated with her instead of jumping the gun and reacting.
Carmilla: If you want to risk it, then you can get to know her, I won't stop you... but when it goes wrong, I won't save you.
Sera: I already know that considering how you couldn't even bother to breakup with me in private to spare me from the complete and total humiliation of everyone knowing our personal matters. Must have been nice knowing everything wrong with the relationship without bothering to bring it up. I have learned that much at least. I trust none with my heart, and love is not worth the potential despair it brings.
Carmilla wanted to say so many things, but she refrained from it.
Sera: Well Ms. Carmine, shall we continue with this tour?
Carmilla: Yes, we shall.
Sera: Good the sooner we finish this the sooner we can pretend we don't exist to each other.
Carmilla: I would like that just as much as you.
Carmilla: (I wish I could tell you the truth, but I doubt you'd believe me.)
I don't know what the fuck I'm even doing with this anymore.
