[probably... IN THE END, CHARLES IS EASILY PLACATED.
omg though don't laugh at him, his life is sad and terrible and filled with meddlenuns anD PEOPLE SHOULD ONLY FEEL SYMPATHY!! even if he'd totally laugh if he was outside of his own situation, too.]
She's always been unbearably pleasant, actually, even though she's essentially contracted to kill creatures like me in her own world. [unorthodox friendships...] But she's not exactly your stereotypical nun. The only time she genuinely sought my head, it wasn't attached firmly to my shoulders, anyway.
[ie it was for his own good since he was off his dang rocker WHOOPS]
[Charles "Hypocrite and Nun-Chased" Fei-ong. That's not going to do anything to make Kaoru stop smirking, but at least that's no visible and the laughter is now under control.
The "contract non-human killer" thing, on the other hand, does that job pretty damn well.]
Really! I wasn't expecting her to be something like that... And yet, she doesn't want you dead? She must be terribly fond of you, in that case. What was it that forced her hand, anyway?
[RUDE AS HELL. but yes welcome to the life of the mythical vampire, where entire organizations are dedicated solely to your eradication and they all have the power of an actual weapons bunker... he's up for trading!!]
Mmmhm, there were actually a few of them around for a while. Hunters are tedious, though; if one of them had to stick around, I suppose it isn't so unfortunate that the most interesting one did. [GETS TSUN EVERYWHERE] She's the sort who doesn't enjoy killing, I believe. I don't think she wants anything dead, either. [duty-bound nuns and all.
at the last question, without a pause:] Something happened and I tried to kill a lot of people. A lot, a lot... [A WHOLE LOT.] So she fought me until I didn't have the energy to anymore.
[then he just sulked off into the night and ate a pie instead, basically.]
[Hand-weighing motions.... EHHH NOT REALLY FEELING THE HUMAN TORPEDOES.]
That's a strange profession for a pacifist, isn't it? Especially one of the religious sort... I thought one of their tenants was "do no harm", or something like that.
[JUDGING YOU, CHARLES, and your creepy masochistic taste in friends. He also isn't really sure that Charles is seeing things entirely clearly, if he's buddy buddy with dangerous people like that. (Pot, kettle, etcetera.)]
But I won't deny that she seems interesting, if only for her ability to keep up with you alone...
Ah, well, I wouldn't call her a pacifist either. Just because she doesn't take pleasure in ending a life and may try avoiding it when possible, that certainly doesn't mean she shies away from it if necessary. Pragmatic... A pragmatic person who wants to be an optimist, is what I'd call her. [go away Kaoru stop judging his perfectly legit friends!! but at least he's right in guessing he isn't seeing things clearly even if that's more in a generally speaking sort of "wow Charles stop making bad decisions" way...]
To be honest, I don't think she's very religious, either. You ought to meet her someday. [A GREAT IDEA.....
he's just going to drag everyone down into a festering pit of dangerous friends.]
A pragmatic person who's trying to be optimistic? That sounds like she's missing the point of how optimism works, honestly... But I wouldn't be opposed to meeting her, if you think she's safe enough.
[He'll just make sure to bring a sword and be prepped to run like hell if Ciel turns out to be even more crazy and violent than Charles.]
I think she's just too old for it, to be honest. [too old for optimism...... the only old person here is Charles, wow. double wow, even!! he is totally sane and only violent when necessary okay. it's just that his definition of "necessary" differs hugely from most others...!]
Safe enough? I wouldn't say that she's too dangerous, but there is the nagging to watch out for. Just try not to catch her interest too much and you ought to be fine. [what great advice]
I don't know about that. [which he almost sounds a little bitter about... because he is a little bitter about it... life is hard when you're surrounded by unchanging asshats!!]
Ah, that might work, anyway. ...Or it might just make her wonder why you're avoiding contact. I honestly don't know what to expect with her half of the time. [the way of the Ciel is a mystery to him even now...] Either way, if you ever feel like meeting her, you could just stop by the church with me.
wouldn't that be funny though JUST KAORU AND CIEL... all alone. stuck together in a church while Charles hightails it out cackling wildly because she'll have someone else to focus on for once. bUT NO he actually doesn't mind Kaoru and wouldn't subject him to that just yet.]
In some respects, certainly. In this one in particular, yes. It should go well enough as long as she's not in a bizarre mood or something. [he's making her sound like a maniac... he's going to be shocked at how relatively benign and normal she is]
[Christ, Charles, you are like the absolute worst friend. Don't leave him with a monster-fighting nun, she'll sniff out his crazy without someone more obviously dangerous there to throw her off!!]
With the way you talk about her, I'll really have to be on my guard, Charles. In either case, you'll have to do the arrangements, as I don't know her name or face. Will that be fine with you?
[like she won't be able to sniff out his crazy eventually, anyway!! just being acquaintances with Charles is like a big flashing neon sign that says "something is probably wrong with me".]
It would do you good, that. [GOOD LUCK AND GODSPEED, basically.] But yes, that's perfectly fine. The next time you've nothing to do, give me a bell and I'll tell her that we're coming for a visit.
[Because gosh, how can a polite young man (or lady, depending on how he's dressed at the time) come off crazy when next to Mr. Charles "murder everything and drink their blood" Fei-Ong??]
And I'll look forward to it. Until then, Charles... And I hope your garden stays safe in the meantime.
[With a snicker, he clicks the phone shut and ends the call.]

If optimism was something you could grow out of, we would have significantly less idealistic idiots in the world.
[Like, say, twin sisters who don't see why genocide is an A+ plan, or tiny not-vamps who hang out with exorcists for some reason!!]
But I will do my best to be as boring as I can be, either way.
no subject
It's just because most people don't live long enough to grow out of it. [he is an Expert on these things... don't lump him into that category gosh!!]
Good luck, anyway. She sometimes has a sixth sense for knowing who's a good target.
no subject
Livespans longer than a few decades are the exception rather than the rule, Charles. Anyone would change, given long enough.
[He laughs, quiet and short.]
Perhaps I should contact her through the phones, instead of in person, then. Just to be safe.
no subject

Having you to vouch for me would probably be for the best, then. She does trust you that much, after all... Doesn't she?
