117. Informal Letters...

((Originally posted by PegasusXCroquet on 12/26/07))

[ A creative slump and beyond massive sleep deprivation makes for bad pictarz, and even worse dialogue. Please forgive me~~ .__. ]

Image
Pegasus: Ughh... What is this? Two months worth of company mail..?! Why on earth was it sent here?! Oh, that bothersome postal system... Redirecting my mail, only to have it arrive here right in time to ruin my Holiday, of course...

Image
Pegasus: ...What in the world... No, I will not manufacture and ship out eight-hundred Duel Disks for you in time for the new April school year.
Why on Earth would Mr.Samejima ask me for this..?
He of all people should know Kaiba-boy's company handles Duel Disk related matters...

Image
Pegasus: Hrrrmm... Kaiba-boy's, Kaiba-boy's...I only print the cards, people!
...P-Paradias Corporation..?! Oh lord...
Oh, what is this..? ...A real letter, and from... Miss Cora...

Image
Pegasus: ...I shouldn't feel this way about receiving a letter from her... It's not like...I...

Image
Pegasus: Ohh, it's probably just...a Christmas card.
I...I suppose I should quit wallowing in my guilt, and rejoice...
She...she obviously doesn't hate me for what happened, if she has taken the time to send me a letter..

Image
Pegasus: Let's see here...

"Dearest Pegasus,

We haven't talked in a while.
I'm very sorry for this...
I am trying very hard to sort
out what has happened.
I want to thank you again for
taking me in when I needed
to get away from The Manor.
It was wonderfully kind of you."


Image
Pegasus: *Sigh* ...I'm... I'm trying to sort it out, too...
Although I think it would have been better for the both of us...
If I had turned you down that night...

Image

"The reason I wrote this letter is
because I have something really
important I need to tell you.
I am pregnant.
There is a small possibility that
my child is also yours.
I don't expect you to take
responsibility, but I wanted to
let you know and if it is yours
I wanted to give you the chance to
be a part of it's life. I am already
pretty far along... I regret not telling
you sooner but I didn't know how to.
I hope that you are not angry with me.
I really don't know what else to say that
you don't already know.
Pegasus, you already know my heart."

Love Always,
Cora


Image
Pegasus: ...Oh my God... What... What have I done...

Image
Pegasus: I... I've betrayed my wife...
- He pauses, his face gathered in his hands -
...I've ruined this girl's future...
- He sits in silence, thinking for some time, but looks up when he hears the click of a door... -

Image
Croquet: Ah, Sir... Pardon my interruption, but it is cold, and I thought perhaps you would favor some tea..?

Image
Pegasus: ...Croquet... I would have preferred it if you had knocked...
Croquet: ...Sir, I've never knocked. I don't believe any of the other personnel knock, ether. If you are requesting that I knock from this point onwards I will do so, and I beg for your forgiveness. I was not preemptive of your wishes, though I am well aware such an offense is unforgivable...

Image
Pegasus: *Sigh* Christopher, I... could honestly do without your remarks right now. I would greatly appreciate it if you would just-

Image
Croquet: ...

Image
Pegasus: Christopher, put that down and leave at once! None of that concerns you!

Image
Croquet: -He drops the plate and tea cup; it spilling and shattering on the ground-
Young Madame Cora is WHAT...?!

Image
Pegasus: *His voice cracks, for he's on the verge of tears...*
...Christopher...
I...don't even think I have the right to explain...

Image
-Croquet takes a seat next to Pegasus-
Croquet: Sir, I-
Pegasus: No! Don't... Don't even look at me! You're going to try and comfort me, and tell me that what I have done to this girl is not the most perverse, sick thing imaginable!!

Image
Pegasus: I can't stomach that...
Out of all the horrible things I have done in my life...
This is...

Image
Pegasus: ...Oh God..!
Croquet: ...Max... It's allright...
I think...You are over reacting to this...

Image
Pegasus: No, you're under reacting to this, Christopher!
...There is...something I've been neglecting to tell you...

Image
Pegasus: When Miss Cora was staying here with us, something happened...
And because of those events...

Image
Pegasus: ...There is a possibility that you are the father of Miss Cora's child...
