"No," Doktor Faust said. "You should stay. At least for a while. Eat, drink, be merry..."
"Is it true that I'm descended from Doktor Faust and a corpse?" Faust asked Mephsitophiles in an undertone, looking slightly pale.
"Helen of Troy's corpse," corrected Mephistophiles. "You could have done worse."
Manta shivered. "I don't know about you guys, but this place majorly gives me the creeps!" he said in Japanese so quickly that even Faust VIII couldn't catch it. "We should go!"

"Sit at the table. Helena is about to serve dinner," Doktor Faust suggested.
"There's really nothing at the moment," Faust VIII said. "If we get some food and rest, though, maybe a solution will present itself..."
"You never ate or slept, did you?" Mephistophiles asked reprovingly.
"That's the least of our problems!" Faust hissed. Their breath all caught as Helen reappeared at the door, carrying trays of food that looked too good to be real.

((lol, take that, Hao!))
"This looks positively sinful, Helen," Doktor Faust said, following Helen with his eyes as she set the food on the table and started to pass around plates and silverware. The meat glistened, the fruits and vegetables were vivdly colored, and the bread was so full that it looked like it was breathing. Helen poured them each a glass of wine, which was the thickest, reddest wine that any of them had ever seen. Her arm brushed Netsubo's face, and Helen's skin was icy cold.

"Don't worry," Doktor Faust said quietly, his eyes piercing even from the other end of the table. "She does not bite... unless you wish her to." he wiped the cut on his lip with a napkin, delicately refolding it and placing it in his lap.
Faust VIII couldn't seem to stop staring at the two of them. Whether it was because he was noticing astonishing...and disturbing... parallels with his own relationship with Eliza, one couldn't tell, but he appeared almost stricken, not touching his own food or drink.

Mephistophiles was the only one who ate, and he did so with gusto.
"Who's the wine, anyway?" Mephistophiles asked casually.
Doktor Faust laughed, and his voice rang eerily against the rafters. "The bishop. I'm so glad he finally got what he deserved," the Doktor sighed contentedly, raising his glass in a mock toast before taking another sip.
Faust didn't seem sure whether to follow his ancestor's example or jump up from the table screaming.

"The faint of heart... they're so endearing in their own meek way, aren't they?" Doktor Faust asked, grabbing Helen's wrist as she drifted by his chair and kissing her again.
"It's blood..." mumbled Manta in horror, staring at the thick red liquid in the wine glass. "It's really blood... he's a psycho..."
"I never did catch your name, mein Herr," Doktor Faust said, making eye contact with Faust VIII.
"I?" Faust asked. "Well... I'm Hans. Just Hans."
"That's what my mother called me when I was young," Doktor Faust said, raising his eyebrows. "It's strange. I feel like I know you. Have me met before?"
