Trian wants to believe their relationship isn't this way, but it is.
He prefers the quiet moments, calm, serene -- he can't help but think of the shades of blue and grey in his house lit by fire and how they're there yet not there -- and it's so easy to believe it will stay like this forever.
But then there's blood and fire and Trian always fights but Casimir always manages to pin him down and fuck him into the floorboards.
He wonders why he stands for all this. Why he bothers keeping this a secret from everyone, his servants, his employers. He can't hide the marks Casimir leaves behind, shoulders, arms, legs, neck, can't deny that Casimir has branded him like cattle. And he always has to buy a new shirt once Casimir is done with him.
But he knows the reason why he tolerates this (not allows, never allows, because he never wants this, but yet he accepts, does that still make it rape?), knows the reason why he still opens the door when he hears two knocks.
Trian glances at Casimir once, and his hands are almost touching the fire.

NightEyes watches the Incantation Samurai watching the candles burn down to their stubs. There is no natural light in the Maze and the lanterns that burn with an unnatural fire never die down. Even their primary bodily functions are of no use to them. They don't breathe, their hearts don't beat; they don't need to. There's nothing for them to mark the passage of time, not even the natural cycle of being asleep and awake, because they only sleep when they're bored with nothing else to do (at least, that was what NightEyes did).
All they had left were candles, and when those ran out, they could only count the flickers of the lanterns.

And Incantation and Night...eternity must suck :<
For me, present tense is always the hardest to get right. Seems like I always slip up somewhere. I like your writing style though. So nice to read :D

CASIMIRRAPIST CHARACTERS.For the most part, they didn't notice how much time passed, so I guess it's okay lol \o/
...yeah, like I did with Incantation.Night one (I SEE THE SWITCH TO PAST TENSE AUGH). I get my inspiration from you guys and other net writiers ;;
