xxxxxAs they walked along, Raphael could feel his stomach beginning to growl at him for food. He looked down at the restaurant where the man asked her to marry him, and a smile formed on his face. The restaurant wasn't too fancy, but the food was good and high priced as he remembered from eating here last time. The puppeteer looked to Maire and asked, "I'm getting hungry. Would you like to join me for lunch," he asked softly as he took a few steps toward the restaurant still holding her hand.

xxxxxThis actually puzzled him once the words came out of his mouth. 'As a puppet, would Marie actually have a stomach now that she was...alive?' There were many things that followed that all questioned how alive his marionette really was. Did she have a heart, or any organs at all? No, she was a puppet... 'Nothing more, nothing less...' Could she become human, though? 'Blasphemy.'

"I was given life..
To live..
Not to be bound to a master.."

Jumping a little once Raphael spoke out she then looked up to him. Nodding a little she moved behind him looking forward. Though then it hit her that she wasn't really alive in a sense. She had no organs no reason to eat or even to sleep. Everything she was doing was based off of mimicking it from humans. Stopping a little she then pulled her hand away looking to the ground. No matter what she'd look like a human but she could never become human. Thinking this over she regained her coldness before turning around."N-No.. No thanks.. I'll just look around some more.."She said quickly yet coldly looking forward walking quickly. Running forward she disappeared in the crowd of people before walking.

What was she doing? Going shopping, eating lunch.. Thats not what a marionette did. Scoffing she kicked the ground wrapping her arms around her waist. Walking forward she didn't pay any attention to where she was walking just that she was. Passing a street she crossed an intersection before running forward. She didn't want to think about it. All she wanted to do was be away from here. Finding a spot in a park she sat down under a tree. Wrapping her arms around her legs she pulled them to her chest. She wasn't real, there was no way she was real. She was only a pathetic marionette.

xxxxxChuckling softly, Raphael started walking when he felt his marionette's hand slip from his. Stopping, he looked back at her and blinked a few times as he tried to figure out what was wrong. When Marie spoke up in her colder tone that she gave him earlier, his heart sank, but he managed to nod his head and follow after her. He reached out to hold her hand, but she ran, and it killed him.

xxxxxRaphael slowly came to a stop as he watched her run through the crowd and deeper into it until he couldn't see her, and without even looking back. He almost felt like crying, and his body started to tremble. 'No... I will not lose my Marie Antoinette,' he demanded in his mind which gave him a burst of life. She was the only female he had gotten close to in years, and she was almost like a child to him in his heart. And she was his, and he wasn't about to give up that easily just at the sight of rejection.

xxxxxBursting into a run after Marie, Raphael snaked about the crowd swiftly with a look of determination in his eyes. Shoving through a few businessmen sharing information one of the guys shouted at him, but the puppeteer just kept running until he noticing her across an already busy intersection, still moving quickly. 'Screw this traffic,' he thought in fit of not wanting to lose her, threw caution to the wind, and ran straight into the swarm of cars that were hardly moving. He managed to get through unharmed thanked to a few friendly drivers, but at the cost of getting honked and yelled at. On the other side of the road, the puppeteer came to a stop as he realized he had lost his marionette.

xxxxxAfter a moment of searching, an exasperated Raphael spotted his Marie at a park walking about, and sitting in a shady spot under a tree. His lips formed a smile for a brief moment before he rushed over to the park. Reaching the edge of the green, soft, freshly cut grass, the puppeteer slowed himself to a nonchalant walk gradually before stopping not far from Marie. "Are you lost...," he asked softly and somewhat dryly.

"I was given life..
To live..
Not to be bound to a master.."

Staring to the ground she shook her head idly. She wouldn't ever be able to become human it was physical impossible. But if that was true then why was she alive? Shaking her head she then heard his voice. Looking up a little she then stood up. Glancing to the ground she ran her fingertips through her bangs. Stopping for a moment she then spared a glance up to him. Her golden colored eyes were hard but they showed hidden fondness of him. Moving forward she grabbed his hand placing it to her chest. Locking eyes with him her cold dimeanor had returned. She had placed it right where a human heart would've been."Do feel that..? I have no heart.. I have no warmth.. I could never bring anyone happiness.."She said coldly yet truthful her words were filled with cruelness. Placing his hand up to her cheek she allowed his fingertips to brush over her soft but cold skin. Stopping his hand she allowed it to rest upon her cheek.

Pulling it away after a few long moments she then placed his hand around her neck. Glancing up into his eyes she hardened his hand around her neck and made him grip it tightly. Though she kept still she showed no signs of any type of struggle or pain."Even when you do this, it doesn't affect me.."She mumbled colder but icier as she pulled his hand away. Dropping it she looked to the side seeing a few people staring. Glaring at them she watched them mutter about how rude she was. Though turning back to look up to Raphael she shook her head. This whole relationship would be completely pointless. She couldn't give life, she would never be warm, and she would never be able to truly understand what it was like to be a human. Sighing deeply she then looked down a little knowing her humanity could never be cured.

Though backing up a little she then looked up to him. Unsure of exactly what to say to him at this moment. She could feel anger and misunderstanding boiling under her empty chest. Listening to a few people murmur about how adorable they both were, she then averted her eyes. For a moment she thought about the actual chance that they could be together, but it was crushed by how little she was alike to a human woman. Slowly lifting her glance up to his, her eyes were completely unreadable."I will never be human.. I can't give you the love you want.. I'm just a marionette.. I belong in a puppeteer box.. Not on the streets acting, and mimicking humans.. I could try all that I wanted to become one, to act like one.. But in the end, I'll never have a beating heart.. I'll never know how love feels.. Or even how being a mother would feel like.. I'm just an empty shell that looks human.."Whispered her voice barely audible as she looked down. Her golden colored eyes showed an ocean of sadness. She knew all of these things were true but she truly realized it when he mentioned lunch. Never would she feel the need of being hungry, or the beating of a heart.

xxxxxSlowly panting, Raphael raised a brow as she stood up then took deeply inhaled and exhaled before breathing normally. Watching her move forward, his lips slowly curved into a smile, and as Marie took his hand he could feel his heart begin to pick up its pace once again. Feeling no pulse under her chest the puppeteer wasn't surprised as his expression became blank and empty, as if he was mimicking his own marionette. Pressing his hand against her cheek as his Marie guided her hand there, he blinked a few times before fully understanding what trying to get across.

xxxxxThen she had to go and somewhat cross a line, and make his hand tighten about her neck. His expression show frustration as he felt terrible even though he was doing no harm. It was because he created her, and now she was realizing the reality of everything, and it was breaking her heart... Looking up at the sky as his hand was released, he sighed under his breath and reached into his other back pocket where a small flip-top box of cigarettes were and managed to slip one out without pulling out the box and concealed it in his hand. The frustration was beginning to stress him out, and he brought these along just in case there little walk around town turned to s**t.

xxxxxLooking down at the same time his Marie did, Raphael closed his eyes and calmed down a bit before hearing mumbling from a far and looked up at Marie shyly. As she spoke, he gradually rose his head, and smiled after she finished muttering everything he already realized. Slowly wrapping his arms around Marie, he whispered, "You are my marionette, and that is all that matters. I brought you out from my home so that you could be happy and feel not so bound to me..." He chuckled softly and continued. "Just because you look like a human doesn't mean you have to act like one. You are alive like one, are you not?"

"I was given life..
To live..
Not to be bound to a master.."

Once she felt arms around him, she stopped before looking up. Blinking she then felt her eyes soften as he claimed her his. Was it alright to feel this way, in his arms? Feeling like she could stay there as long as she wanted. Shaking her head a little she moved closer to him wrapping her arms around his waist. She didn't want to think about it right now. All she wanted to do was be able to relax around Raphael and go home. Pulling away she placed her hands upon his chest gently looking up to him."Could we just go home..?"Asked her voice gently as she looked up to him. If she wanted clothing she'd just go with something like her white dress. These others made her feel a bit different. Sighing she then snatched the cigarette from his hand. She looked to it before pulling away examining the thin thing. She knew these were bad for humans so without thinking it through she snapped it in half.

Dropping it to the ground she stepped on it twisting her ankle to crush it. Shaking her head she leaned forward grabbing the carton behind him in his back pocket. Holding it she looked up to him before tsking at him."Tch.. These are poisonous.. If I'm going to stay with you Raphael, you've got to promise me somethings.. One.. To take better care of yourself.. And two, to take care of me.."She said coldly before she then smiled a bit up to him. She wouldn't think about it right now, that she wasn't human. But for some reason he kept being nice to her. If he wanted her to be around, then she would. Since she was made probly for his own loneliness. Though she wondered if he was really that lonely. Reaching her hand up she brushed a bit of her bangs out of eyes. Moving forward closer to him, she leaned up a little. Hesitating for a moment she then leaned up all the way allowing her lips to brush against his. Instead of breaking the kiss after a short moment, she held it. She wanted to reassure him that she was going to be around for awhile. Since he didn't at all treat her like a slave or anything.

Pulling away she looked up into his eyes, her marionette cheeks gaining color. Running her fingertips against his cheek she then pulled her hand away. Tossing the carton of cigarettes into a trash can she held out her hand for him. Shaking her head a little she made a slight face. She couldn't believe her creator had been smoking those poisonous things. Making a bit of a disappointed face she then decided to help Raphael out from now on. Instead of just being selfish and worrying about her. Her lips turned up into a smile making her look ever so sweet.

xxxxxLooking down at Marie, Raphael chuckled softly and nodded his head as he let his hands fall to his side, and accidentally flashed the cigarette. He was in a bit of awe as he watched his marionette take and crush the cigarette. His shock slowly turned into embarrassment after she pulled the pack from out his pocket, and started chuckling under his breath. After being lectured, he nodded his head and smiled. "Well, I only smoke those because they actually make me feel---" Being cut off by the touch of his marionette's lips, he instantly responded by gentle pressing his lips against hers before closing his eyes and placed both his hands on her waist.

xxxxxThe puppeteer slowly opened his eyes as he felt her pull away and deeply stared into her eyes. "---Better...," he muttered. She felt so alive, yet she was just a puppet. None of it seemed to make sense, but it was all so real. Maybe he couldn't allow such a relationship with the puppet... Watching as she tossed the cigarettes into the trash can, he shrugged his shoulders and looked down at her hand, and then back to her eyes. Watching her emotions change, he practically glowed as she smiled and took her hand before steadily walking through the park.

xxxxxAfter a moment of walking, he gently broke his grip of his hands and wormed it out ever so smoothly then moved behind her and took both her hands and held them over her stomach while keeping pace with her steps. "When we get home," he whispered into her ear, "I'm going to clean up. Do you want to learn how to cook after I'm done?"

"I was given life..

Smiling slightly as they began to walk back she then blinked feeling his hand release hers. Opening her mouth to object to this and make a little snarky comment. She then felt his arms wrap gently around her stomach taking her hands. Lacing her fingers with his she peered forward slightly walking. Smiling idly she then nodded a little looking up to him. Looking forward to anyone they'd look like a mere human couple. But it was much more than that."I would love to!" She exclaimed before giggling a little looking up to him. Though noticing she was acting too sweet she then puffed out her cheeks a little looking away stubbornly. But the look soon melted away leaving her only smiling a small sweet genuine smile.
