✞17 Days since my Last Confession✞

[]Psalm 43:5

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God: for I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
[]

[☨]The slow knell of the church's bell tolls--gentle chimes art what waken the corrupt soul at the end of a lens' gaze. Sea-misted eyes blearily stare up at the frosted glass of a stained glass window, white breath passing blue-tinted lips, painted with day-old blood that trickles thickly drown from his crown of unkempt blond hair. Entangled in the fallen alter's debris, it looks as if he has been trapped there for any number of days after a dance with a devil.

Damn it all, he let idle thought pass as the chill of the church's draft shudders his frail body pinned under a heavy cross. How could I think to let myself go in such a place. Knitting his slender brows as cold defiance sparks in those envious green eyes he attempts to move, but finds his body impoverished with stagnation. How... could I go in such a place? Prostrate, he curses himself, and outcries within. Lord, don't let me go in such a depraved place! Such was retribution for being the church recluse, rebuking and refusing the hands of his would-be brothers.

Damn it all, he coughs as a snow-flurry spin down from the break in the intricate glass and lands on his wincing sunken cheek. Sighing he supposes he had expected this at least.. He had somewhat made peace with his enemies, only for them to assail him in the end, just as he had foreseen. The true price of peace, bah. The time was nigh, he knew, and balked, to make peace with his God all over again, still dejecting that this would be his resting place. So shutting his eyes, Maxwell breathes as the wood depresses on his wounded chest and ushers a quiet and hymn. A versed alto choir, dusted by lyrical italian of a wayward cherub.
[☨]

Be still, my soul.. the Lord is on thy side...
..Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain..
....Leave to thy God to order and provide....
...In every change He faithful will remain..
..Be still, my soul.. thy best, thy heavenly, Friend...
....Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end..

....Be still... my soul, though dearest friends depart..
..And all is darkened in the vale of tears...
...Then shalt thou better know His love.. His heart..
....Who comes to soothe thy sorrows and thy fears...
..Be still, my soul.. thy Jesus can repay....
.....From His own fullness all.. He.. takes.. away. . .

((ooc: Backdated to the Night of the 29th. The frigid man is still stubbornly alive, much to the world's dismay. A day and a half after his scuffle with Youma!Pip, still in progress. I had to take an unexpected/unannounced hiatus the past couple of days. :3 ))

[He couldn't let him sleep, but he dared not shake him to keep him awake. All he could do was talk to him... and pray that the rumble of his voice in his chest wouldn't just lull him to sleep anyway. He smiled faintly as the man tucked his head in at his neck, pleased to see at least he wasn't frightened of him]

Hellsing? ... You think they... Because she left?

[That couldn't be true... Perhaps from Alucard, maybe. But not Seras, nor her friend]

It... might be something else. I'll explain more when we get to the hospital, alright?

H-hnnn.. sh-she.. we.. had a .. a treaty.. peace.. cease-fire.. pe..peacccce.. h-ha..!

[Failing to even laugh at how absurd the whole thing was. To think that he? Archbishop Enrico Maxwell Bureau Director of the Vatican's Special Forces could form an alliance with those barbarous heathen Protestant Hellsings, just to save his own neck.. Oh.

Oh how he imaged his Subordinates to have called him a coward. Anderson would have refused it on the mark, he was sure. Oh... Anderson...

An agonized moan stifled in the director's throat as he tried to curl into that familiar hold. He had held him just like this... not so long ago. Caught in a wave of chilling delusion he pushed through the pinpricks of ice entrapping his body and tried to grasp to the warm priest through the large coat.]

Father... Father. . .


An...der...s-s-sonnn....

It's possible. Even between you two. If I can find it at home, you can surely find it here.

[The hospital wasn't much further, thankfully. He didn't want to carry the injured man much further with that broken rib to deal with. Or ribs, he really didn't know.

All he could do was try and warm him up as he turned towards the hospital, his heart aching as he heard him mumble Andersons name. He didn't correct him. How could he? He just shifted the coat so that the man could do as he wished, not wanting to form a barrier between his body heat and the frozen creature he held anyway.]
