I'll play what's on his heart {alexei x claudia}

[claudia]

Everything seem so slow when Claudia stops talking. She never liked being slow, or feeling the need to be slow. She liked being ahead of herself and ahead of others. And thus when she feel this good-for-nothing feeling coursing through her body she immediately headed ways for the horse stables. The four-legged equines wouldn't mind her here. In fact, they seem to be even more pleased to see her then her. The weather became cloudy all of a sudden, however it did not mar Claudia's plan as she carefully walked through the path which leads towards the horse stables. No other ladies or butlers was seen, and she'll be damned if any of them crossed paths. The usual pleasant face was gone, as something like a nasty smirk replaced it. Why is she feeling this way? Even Claudia herself couldn't tell. It's actually her pleasure face. Something one could only see when she's a little over the edge in happiness and delight. Sometimes people would misinterpret it as some sort of sick plan or thinking that she had in mind, well...they are half correct. But lucky them, Claudia couldn't see any of these silly little ants anywhere. And when the distinct neighing entered her ears Claudia's smirk turned soft again.

Aside from the snorts of the horses, no other human noises can be heard. Now Claudia could ask herself, is she in a bad mood today? Just a few hours ago she had played with a toy. And to think, she had been so happy when she scared the poor boy! Though at that time he had accidentally triggered a negative personality in her. As the Lady looked at each horse, her eyes stumbled across a chestnut stallion (as stallions and mares are marked with signs). He was smaller looking then his neighbors, however it were the fear in his eyes that made Claudia give an interest in him. The horse awfully reminded her of Renee. Taking a slender hand and putting it on the horse's head, she let it slide down, tenderly stroking it. The animal give a slight shake at first, but settled down eventually. "Obedient to me aren't you?"

[/b] She questioned softly, blue eyes studying the horse. "Too bad you remind me of him so much even, if you are a horse....[/color] She stopped and stepped away, and now that she did the horse's eyes seem to focus only on her. Claudia smiled, a gentle yet somewhat off one.[/blockquote]

Alexei was actually looking for Renee when he came to the stables. He'd forgotten to mention something after their lesson that day, and hoped he was still at the stables. However, it seemed empty when he arrived. The weather seemed to have went from cloudy to rain quickly, and the butler was almost soaked by the time he actually made it into the stable. Guess he'd have to wait out the rain here. Who knew how long that'd be, but Claudia hadn't been in their dorm, so he assumed she'd found something to do without him. It was then that he heard a familiar voice, though it wasn't the one he'd originally hoped to find.

"Miss Claudia?" Alexei didn't seem surprised, at least not much. He took a few steps closer to her, though he still gave her some space. She seemed...different today. Darker, he thought, or something of the like. Though regardless of what mood Claudia was or wasn't in, he didn't seem bothered by her presence, or displeased. On the contrary, he seemed almost happy to have found her. "At least she's not getting herself into trouble." He smirked, hands folded neatly behind his back. "I didn't expect to find you here of all places." It was true, he didn't. He still didn't find out about Claudia practically terrorizing Renard, and if he had he probably wouldn't have been able to be this pleasant with his lady. Though he was devoted, Renee was his friend after all, and he did defend his friends. But who knew, he had a dark streak after all.

There was a single wooden chair, and since Claudia seemed to be preoccupied with the horses, he sat down. Of course he'd stand if Claudia asked to sit. He'd probably even let her sit on his lap, but that could go all sorts of directions, which if he'd known of what happened to Renee, he probably wouldn't like any of the options.

The rain never ceases to hinder Claudia. Because no matter how hard they fall, they would eventually stop right? And besides, now that her butler was here, she got no worry to go by herself to her dorm. Not that Claudia wanted any company, especially that butler of hers. For some odd reason, he seem to creep her out more than how she had expected to the other way. And it makes Claudia all the more confused and angry. She's supposed to be on top. That is why she tortured that boy, Renee. But then again, he had been a pathetic excuse for a butler. Now with Alexei...he's not the same. Something about him makes Claudia want to slap herself. Did she make the right choice? Certainly he should be fearing her by now. Claudia give a sideways glance at Alexei, who was seated on a wooden chair. How casual of him. She sent him a nod, a gesture of hello. Since they hadn't known each other for so long, Alexei shouldn't know of her...secrets. And she would be damned if he also found out about her almost torturing Renee. Now that the rain had drenched her hair and gown, Claudia made no motion to move. Even though the rain had made the stables seem colder, the ever movement of the horses still provided some comfort. She also made sure her and Alexei's distance is kept at a minimum of four feet. Right now she harbored nothing but a growing desire to punish someone. Somehow she's feeling jealousy well into the pit of her stomach. And it's toward a simple butler like Alexei. How can she not read him? And how could he be so...cool under her presence?

Maybe it's just her ego that got the best of her, but Claudia likes her ego, it's one of her best weapons. Soon the third year lady found herself walking towards her butler, arms at side. Rain water was coming down her face as the rain fell faster. She did not fully smile, but her mouth corners arched up. "Hey there, do you...like the rain as much as I do? She asked casually. It was not of her to speak so randomly. But every time she just as so much looks at the red haired butler of hers, her words seem to come out without her mind's consent. However, in reality Claudia wanted to strangle the living daylight out of Alexei, or anyone else near her. Her anger was still present. She's definitely pissed off right now.

Truth be told, Claudia did creep Alexei out as well. Not that he ever gave hint to it. He was a professional after all. But he was good at hiding his thoughts and his personality was usually all over the place, so one couldn't tell what he was thinking or what his true intentions are. He watched as the rain came down on his lady, but it didn't seem to ruin her beauty. He admired her in a way, not to say that he had romantic interest, he didn't really know her well enough to anyway. She was just very graceful from what he observed, and he liked that trait in her. Even if he knew how Claudia truly was, down to the core, he'd probably still admire her.

As the young woman came toward him, he gazed up at her, his small smile almost matching hers. "Actually, I love it when it rains. Though it usually gives a saddening quality to others, I seem to find some comfort in it. Plus," here Alexei's small smirk became wider, "It's quite fun, wouldn't you agree?" Though the butler was usually happy for the most part-at least he gave off that vibe- there was something different about him. Something...darker perhaps? Maybe that was the incorrect word to describe it, but he felt for some reason nonetheless that he was drawn to his mistress in a strange way. It was as if Alexei could feed off of her aura. Though she did not show him her true nature, it was almost like his darker side fed on hers. And maybe, just maybe it worked the same in reverse as well.

That's it, this man officially became the first person who creeps Claudia out. She cannot stare at him without blanching inside. She's disgusted. Idly playing with a lock of her hair, Claudia tried to fight for some sort of comeback. It would seem they are in a fight, however Alexei wouldn't know. And somehow she wanted to wipe that smirk from him. It would take a great thinking but with just one click Claudia has what she wants. It's so simple, all she needs is make Alexei angry. Perhaps that smile of his would go away. But if it doesn't, and if it still exists, Claudia could just realize he might be troubled inside. Normally people try to keep a fake facade to make a strong impression for themselves. She does that, and now that Claudia thinks about it, Alexei is almost like her. The favor for red, the mask, and the creepiness. Of course, st least she doesn't show her side to everyone, unlike that man of course. "I agree, the rain is very fun. Much more fun than staying under a warm and sunny sky." She paused and looked towards the sky. Rain was pattering on her face, and in the distance she could hear a few ladies complaining. "But nobody likes the rain as much as we do. They seem to hate it. And to tell the truth...I see the rain as myself. Lonely, but much more competent than other weathers they are."

She paused, and felt like she could say a whole lot more. The rain itself seem to be the energy for her soul. And Claudia likes that. The better thing is, no one's around, so whatever she tells to her butler cannot be heard by others. Then, the blue eyed woman give a smirk out of nowhere. "Every time it shines, I think of that guy I met..." Her voice is barely audible from the rain, but Alexei should hear her for he is just a few inches from Claudia. She then give a sigh and continued,"He always had a face that I dislike. It's so naive and bright, enough that I want to gouge out everything on it." She did not say too much, Claudia actually had so much more things to say about Renee. And the reason why she did not mention his name was because there is no need to. Plus Alexei should figure it out. He's an intelligent man after all.
