Just a middle-aged man
Who: Xerxes Break and Phancyhive
When: September 24th
Where: Under a blanket
Summary: In the aftermath of this (squick warning), Xerxes Break is hiding from the world. Unfortunately, the world can find him pretty easily.
Warnings: References to eye squick
[ Break had spent the first few days afterwards recovering: sleeping mostly, and occasionally poking at his NV. But now, as he's feeling better, the enormity of what happened is beginning to sink in…
Not so much his eye popping out in front of everyone at dinner, that could happen to anyone (that his erstwhile eyeball has been marauding the mansion is a detail of which he is, as yet, blissfully unaware).
But that Gilbert, of all people, had chastised him. And he'd deserved it. Even worse - the way he'd been behaving for weeks and weeks, so much foolishness, over something that hadn't even happened! He's been so public about it, so obvious…
Well. He's… he's just going to be here in his room. Under his blanket. ]

[ Hang on, hadn't Jack picked up his eye? ]
Why did you--
[ On the other hand, how does one exactly ask a person whether they pocketed one's escaped organs? And then there's the sweet smell of eclairs thoroughly confusing everything. He hardly notices Jack's hand on his shoulder. ]
Er. Yes. I'm all right, I suppose.
no subject
Oh! I sneaked these out of the kitchen, since I - think you like sweets, do you like sweets? I figured it wouldn't hurt, dear, just drink lots of water afterwards!
[He's talking over Break, really. He'll deny having that eye; he'd already implied that he never picked it up, to Gilbert.
Besides, he'd lost the damn thing, good riddance.]

Aaaah, thank you~♥
[ People don't typically bring him sweets like this. They chastise him fretfully, or hit him with fans, or resent him intensely whilst helping him at great cost...
He's suspicious, even as he seizes an eclair and bites into it. And yet, Jack's fabled charisma is undeniable. ]
Gilbert made these, I suppose.
[ His other left eye... ]
no subject
[Yes, Jack is still going to refer to Gil as a small child. Because.
Also one of the reasons why he's here is to look around Break's room. Not that he's stalking the other man or anything, but he wants to know as much as he can about Break without being too obvious.]
And- especially when you...had the same eyes as his brother.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Gilbert can do little else but worry, and--
2/2
...what?
no subject
Erm, wasn't...the eye that you lost gold?

[ ...and suddenly, Gilbert's odd behavior is explained. ]

Ah! Ha! Hahahahaha!
