''What?'' Snow swallowed heavily, scratchy feeling in his throat, blinking confused at his suppose to be Master
''Indeed.'' Master Mors stated with an expressionless face ''I never quite excepted to need those type of measures but desperate motives bring desperate moves. I will explain this to you in the simplest, most understandable terms. Do you have any questions before that?''
what a strange man Snow thought briefly
''Who is my Master?'' it was the only thing Snow needed to know at the moment and any moment for that matter. He didn't care where they were going, the cell he would be put in, what crowds he would need to act for.
Snow just wanted to know who his Master was this time around.
''Your Master name is Aeron Erlantz Amortya, my cousin. We are going to his Manor right now, a heavily secluded place where no more then a few select people know where to find it.'' Helios looked outside the window for a brief moment before sighing heavily
''While I'm part of the branch Family, the Mors Family, the Amortya's are the ones that should be at power right now. That's what the Emperor wants at last and that means, the faster we can bring Aeron back to power, the better our lives will be.'' authoritative eyes looked at Snow and his skin prickled when Helios frowned
''You were brought with the purpose of healing my cousin. That means you will be completely relieved from any other people you used to entertain before. The only thing you should focus on will be Aeron sickness.''
''H-Hea-Healing??'' surprising himself when he spoke. But he couldn't possible do what Helios wanted from him. He would be useless.
The only thing he could do was to dance and if he couldn't dance anymore....then what use was him after all?
Maybe his mouth would be useful? His body then. Yes that must be it.
''That's right.'' Helios eyed him while he tried to not move, staying unmoved saved his life before, it could save him again now. Maybe if he didn't move Helios would let him dance, would let him-
''The magic inside you has the power of healing people and making them grow stronger again from weak, frail bodies. You must had observed before that your...costumers, were people on the older side, weak with age or sickness. That's why Anwir keep you that close to him.''
Moments of silence followed and Snow could hear every time he took a breath, every movement from the outside and even the animal who was tugging the carriage.
''I understand.'' Snow said breathily, making sure his horrible voice wasn't too loud and that his head didn't move, eyes locket on his-on Helios knees.
''I'm glad.''
For moment Snow eyes looked up at the smile on Helios face. It was the first time he ever saw such an expression on a man. Such a pleasant but soft expression on his rough face but above all, what surprised Snow the most where Helios eyes.
They looked relieved, happy even. Dark green eyes and sharp features grow softer under the relief of knowing that his family will feel better, making the man look so much more younger.
Snow didn't know what his actual Master was like or why those things where happening in his order. But the expression Helios face was something unforgeable for him so after taking a deep breath, filling his chest with clear air and not the musty air from his cell, he looked up and faced the blond fully.
''What do I n-need to know?'' even with his newfound bravery, Snow bite his lip when he stuttered but Helios expression didn't change and he wanted to keep it that way
''My cousin got sick a long time ago. Around the time he was suppose to take hold of our Family Head title, a magical sickness attacked him much like a curse. This event happened ten years ago and around that time his Magical Power begin disappearing in a way. Even at this very moment, his magic is fighting his sickness with no luck.'' Helios gaze shifted, his body leaning back on the green bench
''I can't tell you what accident he was involved in, that's something just my cousin himself can answer to but whatever attacked him made him drove any family member away from him. Blood related or not, just three people can enter the property at this moment.'' for the first time Helios hands drifted together in a sign of nervousness
''You wouldn't be there?'' shocked by his own outburst and attachment Snow slammed his mouth shut, teeth clicking with each other, eyes wide of the blond
''I....I can't enter the place myself. My cousin, Aeron. Mr. Paul, the only servant there. And yourself from now on.''
''B-but how do you know that Master will even want me...?'' Snow muttered, voice rough at the end making him grimace with shame before he fixed his gaze on his bony knees
The sound that followed made him pause. In surprise of fright he didn't know but when Snow looked up Helios was...laughing.
It was a different type of laugh. Not like his costumers with greedy eyes or his last Master with horrible joy and haunting clapping. Not like the young girl restricted laugh or the old grandma amused huffs.
Helios laugh was free. It was the first time in Snow life that he ever heard a free laugh. Amused and bright. Curiously crinkly eyes and rosy cheeks.
''Of course he would want you.'' Helios said after clearing his throat, not noticing Snow surprised look. He waved his hand, fixing his hair in the process before crossing his legs.
''My cousin heart is good despite his rough exterior. Even if we don't talk like when we were younger, I know perfectly well what type of people my cousin would let inside his home.'' the blond smiled, perfect white teeth showing with a strange look
Before he could add anything else, a voice called from the outside.
''Sire! We are a few kilometers away from the estate.''
