‘ can’t have an overly interested party ruining the mood , can you ? ‘ alucard chortles from its sheer amusement , hands clasping together . ‘ excluding its host ? would that be you , or is there some other higher up ? ‘ heh , unfortunately , i’m afraid you might be unprepared to serve my needs , stranger . ‘

By now it is probably unsurprising that humor is lost on him or, at the very least, does little to illicit a response. In fact, the barkeep deviates little from what could very well be a programmed tending to the area’s cleanliness, in the mere form of providing information when requested along the way. ❝ It would. Quindecim refers merely to this. ❞ A slight dip of his chin and Decim looks past the guest, acknowledging the floor as a whole. ❝ My superiors reside on the floors above this one. While you are here, it is my privilege to see to your comfort as your host. ❞

❝ I believe that is correct. Please accept my apologies. I offered simply for the benefit of taste and pleasantries. ❞

‘ oh shit. sorry, sorry, I don’t normally do that. and by me I mean it, uh, yeah. why don’t I just — leave the choosing to you instead. what’s the strongest stuff you got? ‘

❝ There is no need to apologize. ❞ His monotone does not necessarily say forgiveness but it does say undeterred. Akin to asking someone to keep a leash on their pet; Presumably sentient hair is not the strangest thing Decim has bore witness to. There is a brief pause in which the question goes unacknowledged and the arbiter seems to have frozen in place, but eventually he does make his way down the bar and gather the means of his choosing. Pride is not easy to attribute to someone who barely expresses anything, but he cannot bring himself to simply offer the ‘ strongest stuff ‘ he has without some negation of its similarities to motor oil. Her drink is made in silence, and finally presented over the counter.

❝ I hope this is to your liking. ❞

‘ really now ? this place interests me , honestly . there’s more to it than the simple facade it boasts , isn’t there ? it certainly feels like that . ‘

❝ For one such as yourself, it is no facade. Quindecim serves merely as entertainment for those who have not died, excluding its host. I suspect the chances of you arriving under alternate circumstances to be low. That said; Shall I make something for you? ❞

There are brief, selective moments, in which Decim’s attention diverts from the duo present as his most recent task to judge, to his assistant. He has become better at this, surely, translating certain layers of complexity through the increasingly recognizable information sketched over her expressions. It does not make his surprise from the revelations any less frequent. ❝ You believe he is lying? ❞ More statement than question, but it is a request for answers nonetheless. The unspoken ‘why’ that fills up the space between each word.

“Well, there is one now!”

She stares for a moment, grinning, waiting for some sort of reaction, and falters only when she doesn’t get one.

“Er, n-nevermind. Where exactly is Quince- Quin– here? I think I took a wrong turn on the way home.”

He stares stone-like throughout. Courtesy dictates that one should remain at attention when being spoken to. It does not seem to occur to him that this might usually entail some form of actual acknowledgement { or blinking }, until a prompt is provided in the form of a question.

❝ Quindecim . ❞

Perhaps it is repeated in clarification to its pronunciation, but he continues with such little distinction that it could just as well be part of some automatic response to all location-based questions.

❝ You are on the tower's fifteenth floor. Regrettably I cannot tell you where the tower is located in relation to anything outside of it. However, you are not the first to find their way here by mistake. Moreover, as far as I am aware, you have complete freedom to leave as you wish. ❞
