His arms hung at his sides as the curtains of eyes dropped and shut his world view entirely. While his head didn’t hang, it looked as though it should have been. He was so encumbered by his own inner musing, simple turmoil, that he hardly heard the door open or shut. But when the bang-snap rang out he slipped away—eyes flashing open briefly.
Had the guests returned? He had been told to remain hidden, to not be about when newcomers arrived, traversed, and peaked about. Alrec, the newest addition to their household—family—had made that explicitly clear.
Really, he didn’t understand why the others—those who could not be seen—were allowed to poke, prod, and whip the curtains to shock and amuse—to make people happy, while he was designated to watching, at best.
He was lonely; were they not all lonely? He had been lonely for… well, he didn’t know how long. All Ambrose really knew was some time ago someone had woken him up with their very presence in the manor. And from there, he’d been materialized into the world.
The manor wasn’t all that bad; there were the others, the dead who talked and chit chatted about who knew what. But Ambrose needed company…
Alrec should have understood that—understood that all he really wanted to do was please others.
And now Alrec wasn’t happy, it appeared. Actually, he hadn’t been very happy since his arrival. Not perhaps past the first day of guests. He knew why; and while he did know, he didn’t understand why the others weren’t inclined to assist. Didn’t they want company? The kind of company Ambrose thrived on? Did they not wish to hear the song he trailed after night after night… only to lose it? Did they not know that song grew louder only when people were in residence?
Once Alrec was trounced, as there was no other way to describe it, Ambrose found himself following after—slipping through walls as he did so… coiling smokiness following him and fading. He ignored the snappish remarks of the others in his wake—those talking about what should done or not done—those arguing about making themselves known in some way while others didn’t think it was a good idea.
It was hard for him to give his opinion a voice; he didn’t usually. No one asked. He didn’t offer.
When he slipped into the library it was then that Alrec made his final statement to the silence—to no one but himself. And Ambrose, not really knowing it was that kind of rhetorical statement, simply drew closer.
Coils of his white-mist reached around Alrec ankles… gently grasping… seeking… but, not in a way that was… forcible; he forece pressure there, making himself tangible just enough that Alrec would feel it. And as he did so, he spoke, “This Ambrose cares…” he murmured, eyes of mixing grey, black, white—like slowed storms in a marble, focusing on the doctor. “You are unhappy,” he also remarked. “You have been unhappy for a while…” His voice was morose, an echo. Ambrose did not like when the living were unhappy. It felt like a blemish, a spot, he needed to rub away—he needed to sooth and mend in the only way he knew how.
