Deep within the large castle, many noises can be heard--mostly from the creaks and groans from the castle's actual motion. However, if anyone were to pass by the door to Howl's bedroom the soft sound of sniffling could be heard. Within the dark tunnel, Umehito was able to hide himself well. His long black cloak blended perfectly with the dark surroundings... but even after crying for a good twenty minutes, the quiet sobs still echoed down the tunnel.

Nekozawa slid Beelzenef off his hand and threw him aside. "Stop it already! Once I st-stop crying I'm going to be f-fine!" He snarled at the puppet in the dark. "This didn't bother me at all!"

Nekozawa just fiddled with his wig. He didn't really know what to say to that one.

"Like Royalty? Why are you always upset about your home then?" He blinked. "Wales? So.. They live in Europe?"

"Ingary isn't really home. It's more of an escape, a fantasy world for me. Wales is what I mean when I refer to home. I was born there, my sister lives there with my niece and nephew, spoiled as those children are." Howl laughed softly. "Magic...isn't as well recognized in Wales as Ingary."

"So it's like here?" Nekozawa gave a small smile. "A place where you can be safe and happy? I know at least I enjoy this place more than Japan."

"Most of the time, yes. Because I'm a Wizard, whatever I say goes. The King respects my judgment even if he doesn't always agree. The only downfall is people want to depend on me. Whenever there's a problem, however minor, their solution is 'go see the wizard'. Makes me understand why Oz was such a grump."

He sighed. "At least your duty wasn't to curse people to their deaths. I can't count how many terrible spells I cast just so my family's mafia could move forward."

Howl's arms encircled Nekozawa. "You'll never have to do that again, not while I'm around."
