Floyd nodded his head and chuckled in a low tone. “I’m sure you were good. Did your siblings ever cheat? Mine were the worst with things like that, very competitive. It’d be a lot more fun to play a clean game, y’know?” He chatted, doing his best to try and act like himself again.
"James used to cheat s-sometimes. But Meredith would always play fair," Vien responded quietly, smiling down a bit at his lap at the memory of his siblings. "I never won. I l-let Merry win all the time, and I could never beat James."
“And James and Meredith are your siblings? What are they like?” Floyd asked, his previously small smile widening as Vien seemed to brighten when talking about his brother and sister. Floyd could perfectly understand, he loved to talk about his siblings with others.
"James was always n-nice. You'd never be able to tell us apart if he w-wasn't older and had curly hair. He was always taking photos and m-making fires, but he was always nice. And Meredith was the nicest k-kid you'd ever meet. Even though her classmates were mean to her b-because of her birthmark, she would always try to make everyone smile," Vien murmured, still staring down at his lap
“Yeah? They both sound like really great kids. You would like my sibling,” Floyd said, feeling strange using the singular form of ‘siblings’ now. “Nick is my older brother, and he owns a shop downtown. He would always cheat in soccer and shove me around a bit, but he’s a good guy. And my older sister, Cassie- god, you would have loved her. She sounds a lot like Meredith, just a really sweet woman. She loved kids, and if the two of you had met, you’d be absolutely spoiled by her.”
Vien looked up at Floyd, a small smile working its way across his face. "I think James and Meredith would have l-liked you two. Even though James would steal all your food and M-Meredith would insist on giving you flowers and things," he said with a small laugh
As Ace watched the two interact, he jumped at the mention of his favorite topic, flowers.
"Flowers?" He asked, suddenly interested in more than just watching the two.
(lmao so I go to an agricultural school, and floriculture is one of the shops, and I'm in it right? Well they call me Marky-marky-moo the flower power boy. Like, them meaning my friends. I'm just gonna go now.)
(oh my god lmao)
Vien nodded, his smile growing a little wider as he looked up at Ace. "Meredith loved flowers. She c-could grow whatever ones she wanted in seconds, but she liked to grow them normally. We had a w-whole vegetable garden she took care of, and she would make us all sorts of things with the f-food she grew."
"I think we would've gotten along, I love all plants, not just flowers!" He exclaimed, baby blue eyes sparkling in delight.
"Yeah, I think you w-would've," Vien said, smiling softly as he watched the excited king in front of him. He would have loved to introduce his family to Ace and Floyd, if they were still alive. The memory caused his smile to falter almost unnoticeably, but he did his best to keep his smile
Noticing Vien's sudden sadness, Ace leaned over and wrapped his arms around him.
( I'M LISTENING TO A GREAT BIG WORLD AND THE SONG "I DON'T WANNA LOVE SOMEBODY ELSE" CAME ON AND I FEEL SO DEPRESSED NOW AND I FEEL LIKE I WANNA C R Y IT REMINDS ME OF ALEXX SO MUCH OMFG IT IS THE BEST SONG I'VE EVER HEARD, BUT I HAVE T E A R S)
(oof I'm sorry dude)
Vien gave Ace a look of confusion. Why was the king hugging him? "M-Mr. Ace, why are you hugging me?" he asked slowly, not quite sure what was going on
Ace shrugged, squeezing the boys shoulders a little bit before sitting up.
"No reason." He said, quickly changing the subject, "Just let me know when you guys are done, and we can head to the library."
"O…Kay," Vien said slowly, rubbing at the back of his neck absently. He returned to his food, taking a few bites before glancing around the room. He was hungry, but he also wanted to hurry up and go to the library. Decisions, decisions
“Ready whenever you two are,” Floyd hummed with a lazy smile as his posture slouched in the chair. He had seemed so tense since the murder, seemingly expecting for whoever shot Cassie to jump out of nowhere. He hoped Nick was figuring something about, possible suspects and whatnot. Maybe Nick now also thought it was a suicide… If he got a moment to free time, he would use that to his advantage.
Ace nodded, looking over at Floyd lovingly, his blue eyes trained on his face as he thought.
