*Renn eyed the cover of Aimee's book.*

*Aimee nodded, oblivious. Or possibly choosing to be.*
"Yup. I'm practicing my German."

"Yes...and history is a nice bonus."
*He was purposefully trying not to make direct reference to it, and unfortunately making it obvious that he was doing so*

*She threw a questioning but supportive look in der Tod's direction and sat on the arm of Aimee's chair, peering over her shoulder.*
"Ah, I wish I read German.I can pick out words, sometimes, but... What's that bit about?"

*She nodded, casting a shrewd glance in Tod's direction.*
"Yeah. I was about to turn back though--I don't like reading about Rudolf. It all goes downhill after Mayerling."

"What happened there?"
*The question could have been adressed to either of them, but her eyes were on der Tod.*

*der Tod pretty much flinched when the name came up. He glanced in their direction, caught Renn's eye, and quickly looked away again*

*She looked at him with a questioning expression. Why didn't he want her to know?*
:"Well?"

((That's not foreshadowing at ALL...))

"Oh... Damn," *she said, glanging curiously at der Tod. She felt something- a flash of half-remebered grief or anger. It passed after less than a second, but left her shaken.*

*Outwardly, his expression was neutral. Within, he was a boil of emotions*
"I'd rather not talk about this." He said quietly.

((The cbox is blocked at my school, just so ya know. If you were trying to say something. -_-))
"Why not?" *she asked, slightly suspicious. It was her past- she had a right to know.*
