Frankenstein frowned at the beaker in front of him, its contents bubbling away. Not changing. Not crystallising.

He sighed, rubbing his temples in an attempt to stay his building headache. What was he doing wrong? He had been trying to do this experiment for over a week with no success. The calculations were correct, he was sure of it, but the results were proving otherwise.

He turned his head towards the sound of the door closing, already knowing who it was. "Master?" Master was the only individual willing to enter his laboratory (he was possibly the only noble who knew where it was).

Master didn't say anything as he neared him, focusing on the apparatus in front of Frankenstein, before he flicked his gaze to Frankenstein, his eyes soft.

"It's all right, Master," Frankenstein said, shaking his head. "I'll be-" He froze, his eyes widening as he felt a concentrated but light pressure on his shoulder. Warm. Fingers. Frankenstein jerked his head up.

"M-Master?" Master had never touched him before and from what Frankenstein had observed of the other nobles, they didn't tend to in general (it may have been because the other nobles Frankenstein saw were Clan Leaders however).

Master merely blinked in response, still patting his shoulder. "This is what humans do to comfort each other, isn't it?"

"Ah," Frankenstein said, his jaw a second away from gaping, "yes, it is." He was doing this to comfort him…?

Master stopped after putting him one last time and then started studying Frankenstein's experiment again. After a pause, he asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

At that, Frankenstein did gape. "Master, you don't have to…" He trailed off, seeing Master's patient gaze. Master didn't know the safety rules in a laboratory, but they wouldn't be hard to learn. Other than that…

"Would you mind listening to me as I talk out this experiment?" Frankenstein waved at the apparatus. "You won't need to give me any suggestions – I just need to air my thoughts."

Master smiled. "I won't mind."

Frankenstein smiled back at him.

It may be a while until I get the Frankenstein and Rai stuff out my system, haha. XD

I wasn't sure about Frankenstein offering Rai his seat but he's seen Rai standing a whole lot? That, and Rai might be telling Frankenstein to get something to eat now, haha.
