You have reached Dominic Sorel's voicemail. I'm not available at the moment, so if you have something to say, leave a message.

Yeah...

[A pause. It's just a guess, but—]

... Would this request have anything to do with Miss Sharon?

[If only this were easier in any way, shape, or form.]

Indeed, Mister Dominic. Well done. My request is simple, and doubtless unsurprising. Were I unable to look after my Lady Sharon for any period of time, I do hope you will keep an eye on her for me.

All right, but...

[He looks grim.]

Are you sure you want to leave that task with someone like me?

[Break of all people should know that he doesn't have the best track record of protecting people, after all.]

[He knows. He knows, but he's out of options and he wouldn't even be having this conversation with Dominic if he could have in any way avoided it--]

This is Mister Dominic, is it not?

[...And a bit of a chuckle, wryness well-hidden.]

It is not a difficult task. With the Sewer Rat absent, it is...merely a matter of keeping an eye on her should anything dangerous occur in this world.

[He just lets out a sigh.]

All right. I'd do it even if you didn't ask, but...

[He's not making any promises, for he's tired of breaking them.]

IC

[He gets a sense of the unsaid, and from a man of Mister Dominic's character, it fails to surprise. His answer comes easily, quickly.]

There is no need for any misguided promises, much as there is no need to extend such trust in a cause such as this.

In a relationship in which we are to simply use each other, it would make little sense not to do so.

[A thoughtful look, but his tone is unshifting. BLAH BLAH DO NOT CARE DO NOT TRUST YOU]

IC

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

[He just smiles lightly.]

And I'm fairly certain that I've said this before, but I've no intention of 'using' anyone, Break.

[IT'S OKAY HE DOESN'T EXPECT MOST PEOPLE TO]

And that, Mister Dominic, is what drew Mister Vincent to you in the first place.
