@electric-ecclectic sent a meme:
❝ if i ask for your help are you gonna make a big deal out of it? ❞
There was a joke on the tip of his tongue, but when he saw the serious look on Signe's face, he decided to reign in his sense of humor for now. If she seriously needed help, who was he to deny her that?
"Nah," he said with a shake of his head. "Can't guarantee I can do anything for you, but you're free to ask."

❝ i can't even say he deceived me. i knew exactly what he was and i jumped in anyway. ❞
❝ i think eventually i got so used to the chaos and the pain and the toxicity i began to look for it. ❞
❝ i never got a chance to discover myself. i never had that privilege. ❞
❝ you can tell me anything. i mean i can't promise i'm good at keeping secrets, but i'm a hell of a listener. ❞
❝ no one wants to yearn anymore. ❞
❝ i'm doing some of my best work here and you don't even have the decency to roll your eyes at me. honestly it's hurtful. ❞
❝ i know what you're thinking. ❞
❝ if i ask for your help are you gonna make a big deal out of it? ❞
❝ can we just be normal for like two seconds for once. ❞
❝ i would say i don't know what's wrong with you but i actually do and that's the problem. ❞
❝ against my better judgement i trust you and i think that says a lot about the state of the world right now. ❞
❝ i don't actually care but i'm bored so i'm here. ❞
❝ last time i listened to you we almost died. ❞
❝ i would've come sooner. i would've been here if you'd only asked. ❞
❝ i don't want to hurt anymore. ❞
❝ you don't have to hurt anymore. you can let go of those burdens. ❞
❝ it'd be a lot easier if i actually cared as little as i pretend to. ❞
❝ i do need you. i wouldn't be here if i didn't. ❞
❝ sometimes you don't know it's wrong until it's too late. sometimes you don't know you're being hurt until you realize you're in pieces. ❞
❝ pretending you don't need people doesn't make you strong it just makes you a jackass. ❞
❝ you're gonna be okay. eventually. but first you gotta not be okay for a while. it's gotta suck so you can actually recognize when you're alright again. ❞
❝ you shouldn't have said that. ❞
❝ sometimes i wish they had done something worse. then it'd justify how hard it's been to get over it. ❞
❝ i wish you actually understood me. ❞

"My, my, it's the handsome duke himself." Kaia mused as she looked at him playfully. "Are you here to visit little old me or do you have some business to discuss?"
A chuckle left his lips as he reached out to Kaia, wrapping an arm around her waist.
"It's not always about business, y'know. Sometimes I decide to take time off." Sometimes.
Of those two options, Val picked neither, and probably one that Wriothesley didn't anticipate. She started to sob.
"IT'S NOT FAAAAAIR! WHY DO I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE YOUNG ONES JUST BECAUSE I'M THE OLDEST?! 'GO ON A FONTAINE TOUR' THEY SAID! 'THE MARK'S WILL BE EASY' THEY SAID! MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO GET FOOD AND THE GUY WAS TOO HARD!" The audible sound of heels stomping on pavement added to her full on tantrum. "If I swear I haven't attacked anyone here prior to this will you at least make it quick?!"
Okay, maybe he hadn't been expecting that. Usually when he ended up in encounters like this, the person ran or doubled-down. But crying?
"Geeze, calm down, would ya? You'll attract the guard." And then it would become a full incident, which Wriothesley didn't need. "Just... promise you won't attack anyone else tonight and I'll let you go, okay?"
It had been a few years now, yet the moment she started making her way down, it all felt the same as before. She didn't exactly like having to come back here, but her options were a bit limited. At least the warden was still as hot as ever, so it wouldn't be the worst trip.
"Well I sure hope you can. I'm trying to get clearance to speak with someone locked up here and you happen to be one of the head honchos I need a signature from." She pulled out folder of papers and forms, tapping the one displayed on top. "I'm investigating a case and they might have been a witness."
"Visiting someone?" He glanced to the paperwork in her hands for a moment. It wasn't very likely she would have gotten down here without already passing multiple security checks.
"I'm guessing you're not with Fontaine's official police force if you don't already have clearance to do what you want."
"What's wrong with me?" He arched an eyebrow as he moved out of reach of her. "You're the one attacking random people in the middle of the night. You're lucky I didn't punch your lights out."
"...Well yeah when you say it like that it does sound like my fault. But I wasn't gonna hurt you...or at least I wasn't gonna kill you." How did the old higher ups make this seem so easy? "Come on, don't look at me like I'm a bad guy..."
“Pretty sure if you didn’t want to be seen as a bad guy, you shouldn’t have tried to attack someone.” He realized that even if she knew who he was, it was too dark to identify any features, especially with his general color scheme.
“You’ve got two options: run, or keep arguing. I don’t really mind either.”
@cryofist
To think there would still be mortals foolish enough to parade around on their lonesome at night! And from the size of him, he could keep the mewling little lay-abouts fed for quite some time! Just need to pounce and bite--
"Ah! Ow! What?!"
"Ah...that hurt! What's wrong with you?!"
"What's wrong with me?" He arched an eyebrow as he moved out of reach of her. "You're the one attacking random people in the middle of the night. You're lucky I didn't punch your lights out."
@cryofist
" Don't take this the wrong way, " You hummed as you swung your legs softly whilst sitting on the edge of Wriothesley's desk, heels softly thunking against the sturdy wood. " But you need to get out of here more. You look like you're allergic to the sun, Wriothesley. "
On one hand, it came from a place of love and concern. On the other hand, you couldn't wipe the shit-eating, entertained grin off of your face.
" But then again, you also look like you'd burn like a lobster after five minutes without sunscreen... "
"Now what makes you say that?" He was used to Decima teasing him like this by now so it wasn't like he was actually offended by what they said. "For your information, I used to spend plenty of time up there. But I don't have much reason to these days. Got everything I need down here, don't I?"
@stealthsleuth
"...can I help you?" The woman looked vaguely familiar, but the way she was dressed looked more like one of the private detectives scattered around Fontaine than one of the inmates.

“Nah. Never too busy for you.” His gaze was noticeably softer the moment Neuvillette spoke. “What’s up?”
Pointed ears gave a delighted twitch, smile lifting his lips. Just what he'd hoped to hear.
" I was wondering , would you care to join me tonight ? It's been some time since last we were able to simply spend a night together , and I've quite missed your company . "
“Spend the night, huh? I don’t see why not.” He reached for Neuvillette, pulling him into a lingering kiss. “Just you and me for a while sounds perfect.”
@cryofist : Stares right back.
Calm though he may seem, his horns almost immediately began to glow as soon as their eyes met.
" ... Are you busy , love ? "
“Nah. Never too busy for you.” His gaze was noticeably softer the moment Neuvillette spoke. “What’s up?”
@sncwlight
He knew Nat was visiting that day, but rather than finding him in his office, she’d find him in the rare position of in his quarters in the middle of the day. Sigewinne had already visited with medicine.
“Man, you’d think since I don’t go outside I wouldn’t get sick,” he said when Natalee stepped into the room.
@genshingirlies for Lumine
“Huh, I thought you were banned from Pankration, Traveler.” Last he heard, she wasn’t allowed considering she was a professional fighter and world saver. “Then again… I probably should be too, but that doesn’t stop me.”
Things had calmed down after the match, so it was easy enough to approach her. “Having fun?”
((Throws Wrio out for a starter call.))
“You’re kinda jumpy, aren’t ya?” He rose his eyebrows. “But yeah, that’s me. Not what you expected?”
"I think it's reasonable when a big tall guy suddenly approaches you and says something unprompted." She was not about to admit to being like that normally. "And I'd say half expected half not... didn't think you'd look so... punk?"
“Just because I have the title duke doesn’t mean I dress like it.” A shrug. “I do seem to stick out like a sore thumb around here, though.”
