"Expectation is the root of all heartache," by William Shakespeare.

[He smiles ruefully, both happy and sad as he pats the 'tail' away with a wing formed out of an end of his scarf and settles more comfortably on top of his big brother.

In all honestly Lawless prefers not to have his face seem when he talks about topics like this.]

I know that my Eves won't last already when I take them. O... Ophelia taught me this much.

[and much, much more. He falls silent for a moment, eyes gazing at something far away as his air changes into something solemn and mourning for a moment. Then Lawless shrugs it off with a half-played careless laugh.]

You know me, Ash! Getting or losing an Eve won't hurt me anymore! Why else would I keep threatening to kill my little tenshi-chan each time his antics get too much?!

[Some more laughing, some more humming, some careless kicking with his legs. Then...]

....I won't deny I miss him though. Licht's fun. When those twenty-four hours ran out the first time I was sick with worry of what might've happened to him. But the sensation of sharing his death's pain didn't come.

[Which means that his angel isn't dead yet. Their connection would have let Lawless know.]

We're still Kuro and Hyde, we should concentrate on that right?
