Been a while since i've done one of these, so here we go!!
I think mortimer actually likes yumeko somewhat ( plantonic ofc) but he cant bring himself to realize it or admit it to himself. Hes like "yes i pick on and trick her all the time but if somebody else does it they will pay."
Hello! Sorry it took so long for me to respond to this. A lot of big changes are happening in my life and I just started going back into some of the things I enjoy!
But yes. Mortimer definitely has a soft spot for Yumeko. She is kinda on the same footing as Tido: Mortimer cares but also he is still number one. He is allowed to mess with the naive little girl, but if someone else tries then they will wish the twins got them first.
Will he ever say he cares? Great Sevens no! That is too much affection for him. The most you will get is him pretending not to be as disgusted about certain things he usually would be.
"My grandma was a self taught witch and would brew potions in the swamps around Jubilee Port...One of the memories I have is of her drinking this tea blend she made up on the porch while I looked for frogs."
Based on Labrador tea or bog tea and the potion Mama Odie makes in The Princess and the Frog. Furo loves tea and truly shines as a Pomefiore student when at a tea party. They know the rules and is pretty good at differentiating at least between black, herbal, and white teas. They get it from their dad's side, and it was also how they learned to forage.
Ronald:
"Not only can I be rough-and-tumble, but I can be sofisticated too! Is there anything I can't do?"
He can't stand tea. Or coffee really. Tea just tastes like hot grass water and coffee tastes like bitter old folks. He likes hot chocolate, specifically the ones made with white chocolate melts. He got dragged to a few tea times at the nursing home so he knows tea party rules, he just always had hot chocolate in the cup instead.
Florian:
"Dolores did what?! Oh my how interesting. Well, I had heard that..."
Boy loves spilling tea during tea time. He is picky about what you put in front of him. Coffee, tea, whatever unholy creation you happen to place in front of him when he is to enthralled with a story. Has an iron stomach. May say something along the lines of "Oh, that has a bit of bite to it. Did you steep this long?"
Phoebus:
"Look at how the cream ripples into these pretty designs...Wow...Aww, it’s fading away. I guess I should drink then.”
Phoebus likes latte art, so he tends to get lattes. Could be tea-based lattes or coffee based, he just wants to look at the cool designs done. It calms him down. You won’t see him drinking it often, though. He doesn’t like drinking things other than water too often. If you get him on a day that he feels like treating himself, he will gladly take a cup offered to him.
Mortimer:
“Ah, ah, ah! Hold that thought...*sip* Haa~ such a lovely blend. Smooth going down, and warms you up. Gives me the tingles. Hm? Oh, I just didn’t want your chatter to ruin my beverage.”
Based on raspberry tea and the champagne Professor Ratigan drinks in The Great Mouse Detective. Mortimer has no particular feeling towards tea, coffee, hot chocolate, or any other drink. If it makes him seem elite, then he will drink it. If it tastes bad, he will make himself like it. He is slightly more inclined to drink berry flavored drinks.
Tido:
“I-I made dish dwink myself! I-I like da col-color of it! You want shome? I’ll make it extra, extra special for ya! It got bwuebewwies, mint, and shimple shyrup! W-wait while I go make, make it.”
Tido likes to make drinks more than drink them, but he does try what he makes to see if it is good or not. He is an impatient type, so hot drinks are a no go. He will burn his tongue 100% of the time he is given a hot drink. So cold teas are the closest he’ll get. He’ll have tea parties with his dolls frequently though!
"Aww, you're upset? Good. Be upset. It brings me great amusement."
Based on Professor Ratigan from The Great Mouse Detective

---------------------------------
Backstory:
Mortimer always felt that he was born to do more. Not widdle away in a cramped workshop making dolls and wind-up wooden soldiers. He wanted his name to bring awe, envy, and possibly a tinge of fear, to the hearts of people around him. So growing up in some tiny rural village in the middle of nowhere that focused on the old-fashioned way of life was living hell to him.
He doesn't get along well with his family, but his family disagrees. Mortimer's father loves his son and daughter, but does play favorites with his daughter Madeline. He may not realise it, but Mortimer definitely does. How their father would encourage her dreams while he doubted Mortimer's in the same breath. It just made him want to get out of town even more.
The only thing that brings him back for the holidays is his kitty cat Francine. He had found her as a stray and raised her to great health. She is his spoiled rotten baby. The moment he is able to fully move out with her, he will have no reason to ever go back.
🎁 - How do they feel about their birthday/birthdays in general?
🤔 - What’s something they’ll never understand?
🎨 - What’s their favorite color?
For all your ocs! XD
🎁 - How do they feel about their birthday/birthdays in general?
Furo:
They do not like their birthday. If they could get away with people not knowing when it was, they totally would. There are two reasons why they don't like it. 1) Family always insisted on inviting everyone for a party. Family and village members. Too many people all at once and Furo was the center of everything. A common conversation during the middle of the party:
Furo: Daddy, when is everyone leaving?
Furo's dad: Not for another few hours.
Furo: Okay...Daddy, when can I leave?
Furo's dad: You can't leave.
Furo: Dang it...
2) Bad things always seem to happen around their birthday. Now yes, they were prone to getting into sticky situations, but they were pretty tame most days. The really bad things always happened either the day before or day of their birthday. Some years nothing happened, but it was very infrequent.
Because of these things, Furo doesn't really do much for birthdays for others. They'll wish the person well and if they are close will give a gift. Furo usually needs to be persuaded to join a party.
Ronald:
Ronald is actually pretty indifferent towards birthdays. When you spend every day celebrating your existence, your birthday doesn't really stand out. He mostly sees it as a day he can get more model building supplies and when people don't look as annoyed if he boasts. Ron will just act how he usually does on his or someone else's birthday. It'll be energetic and vibrant. He honestly will forget his own birthday is coming up. Someone else will need to remind him.
Florian:
Absolutely loves birthdays! He will throw a party and invite everyone he knows. It's a perfect excuse to gather together and be social. His Aunt and Uncle would actually put a cap on how many people he could invite. The misery! How could he possibly choose between all the amazing people he has come to know? He doesn't even care about gifts; he just wants people gathered around him. It is the one day you will not have to worry about him waking up late or falling asleep in the middle of the day.
If you tell this happy skunk your birthday, you have to tell him very clearly if you don't want it to be a big deal. Otherwise, he will throw you the largest surprise party. Granted, he will do his best to cater it towards your taste, but he will crank it up about ten notches. Flo will invite people that you won't even know, but he knows them and thinks you'll get along great, so they should come too! If you try to hide when your birthday is, he will be very sad. Has a planner filled solely with people's birthdays.
Phoebus:
Forced quality time with his brother because they share a birthday? Wonderful! The type to wait till midnight to call him and be the first to wish him happy birthday. The one day he has an excuse to bombard Kell with all the pent-up affection he has and Kell takes it without much of a fuss. Bonus, Kell even gives Phoebus affection willingly on their birthday! Phoebus couldn't care less about what others are doing that day. It is the one day he doesn't worry about the future and stays in the moment. It's a sweet day.
He isn't really concerned with other people's birthdays. He doesn't try to be inconsiderate! Phoebus just forgets until it's the day of. To combat this though, he keeps a stockpile of possible gifts for people he cares about. Wrapped and tagged and ready to just be pulled from the depths of its hiding place. Will look terrified when he finds out the day is your birthday and will run to get the gift. Gifts may be something you like, or a completely random thing that is accompanied by a "It'll be of use soon".
Mortimer:
It's...complicated. He likes his birthday because it's one of the few days he felt his dad actually cared about him, but on the other hand it's one of the few days he felt his dad actually cared about him. Mortimer enjoyed the affection he got on that day, but as he got older it just became a bitter taste in his mouth. He respects birthdays, his sister will note it is the only day he seems to be more real with himself. No fake smiles, no manipulative remarks, no backhanded comments. Mort is just tired and uses this day to reset.
He takes this mindset to other people's birthdays as well. He won't try to be nasty. He'll just let the person take a break. His sister's birthday an example where he will just be very honest with her. If she asks him to do something with/for her, he will accept, but make it very clear he is just giving her the same courtesy he expects on his birthday.
Tido:
Okay, so on his bio it says his birthday is March 21st, but that is kind of made up. Tido doesn't know when his actual birthday is. When the villagers asked him about his age and birthday, Tido could only shrug. Did not know what a birthday was. He just remembers waking up in early-mid spring and stumbling about. So, the villagers took that and made an estimated guess for when he woke up again and slapped a birthday label on it.
He still doesn't understand how birthdays work, but he's getting the hang of it! You give people a thing to celebrate them gaining consciousness! Right?
🤔 - What’s something they’ll never understand?
Furo:
The difference between friendship and romance. Furo is somewhere between demiromantic and grey-romantic. They know there is a slight difference in feeling romantic attraction and just wanting to be friends with a person, but gosh darn is it hard to find! Knows what flirting is! It may take them a hot second to realize it if they are the ones being flirted with, but Furo does understand that!
If someone questions them, oh Great Seven, Furo will stare blankly as they try to answer. Playing 20-questions is the only way for them to get close to figuring out if they like someone as just a friend or more. Even afterwards the likelihood of Furo just being like "I know I said I wouldn't mind smooching or cuddling Person A, and I get all fuzzy with them, but it's normal to want to cuddle with friends and feel happy with them. Right?"
Call them out. Hit them with examples of "this is definitely romantic and not platonic". It's the only way. And be prepared to do it all over again very soon.
Ronald:
He is not immortal. He very much can die, and it can happen over the simplest things. Ronald knows what pain is, but it's like his brain just glosses over that fact when he is thinking about doing something. You can explain it to him in the simplest way possible, you can save him from being crushed/eaten/ burnt to a crisp and he'll just say "See! I'm fine!"
I wouldn't not be offended if you chose to throw him back into the danger.
If the person gets upset, truly, over his recklessness, Ronny will get so worried. He doesn't want to worry people, that's the last thing he wants! Ronald isn't ignorant about death, but he just can't see the harm of running over the rickety ravine if he has to get to the otherside.
Florian:
Why his parents had to die.
moving on...
Phoebus:
Cutting his hair will not end the world. He never even saw a timeline where that happened, and yet he will squeal if you try to cut his hair as if it will. He will come up every excuse under the sun as to why he cannot cut his hair. Even now, if someone were to suggest it, Phoebus will throw a mini tantrum. Kell also doesn't cut his hair, but it's because he didn't want Phoebus to feel bad about not wanting his hair cut. Even with their rocky relationship, Kell still won't cut his hair until Phoebus does.
Other than that, he doesn't care about what happens with his hair really. Phoebus makes sure it doesn't get matted, but that's about it. If he were to wake up to find someone cut his hair in the middle of the night...he will never leave his bunker.
Mortimer:
Why his father dislikes him. He can't recall what he possibly could have done as a child to warrant the blatant difference in treatment, but if that's how it's going to be then he won't fight back about it anymore. He'll just be the horrible son.
Mortimer even tried to look into his mom to see if there was something there. Like, his mom got sick after giving birth to him or something. Even if it was a stupid reason, at least it was a reason. But nothing. No info on what happened to her. It's like she just...vanished. And with that so was his hopes of trying to mend this relationship.
Tido:
Tido! You can't just leave your leg in the middle of the courtyard!
He isn't really used to his prosthetic. Tido will either forget about it and start his day with only one leg, or he will take it off in the middle of the day and forget it somewhere. No matter how often he gets scolded, he keeps doing it. He also uses it as a prop for skits.
Tido was in the woods for a long time and was agile enough to maneuver with only one leg. He didn't find the village and get his leg until a long while afterwards. While it does make life easier, sometimes he just gets annoyed with it and throws it aside.
🎨 - What’s their favorite color?
Furo:
Aqua/teal. Most of their wardrobe outside of school is in the gradient of blue and green with complimenting colors
Ronald:
Pink. It reminds him of the blossom in the trees at spring.
Florian:
Yellow. Nice sunshine color that makes him feel all fuzzy and sleepy. He just wants to rub it in his face, but he will settle for his tail instead.
Phoebus:
Magenta. It reminds him of his mother. She always wore magenta lipstick because it reminded her of pomegranates.
9. Do they have a word or phrase that they tend to overuse?
10. What is a weird quality that they have (ie their hands are always cold, they're always hungry, they snort when they laugh, etc)?
Furo:
5. They are simultaneously the best and worst at lying. They giggle. They will start giggling when they lie. Furo is aware that they do this, so when they have to lie, and the other party has not caught on to this fact yet, they will play it off that the idea is so absurd they couldn't help but laugh.
If the person is aware of this fact, then Furo will try their hardest to suppress the giggles, which will turn into hiccups. So now, they are giggling and hiccupping as they try to fib. It does not turn out well.
"Hmm? Keekee, do you think I would do that? Well, keke, that is funny. I'd-pft...I'd never do that!"
9. Furo doesn't really have words or phrases that they use more than others. They do tend to slip into a parental tone often. When that happens, their voice becomes floatier and lighter. If the person they are talking to is someone they consider their child, that person will be referred to as "dearie", "sweetie", or "sweetheart".
This is something that they aren't specifically aware of. If you point it out to them, they will correct themselves, but otherwise it is something that just fizzles in and out.
"Oh, are you okay dearie? Here, let me see if I have something nice to give you...Would you like a pebble?"
10. What weird quality don't they have? Besides the whole...treasure thing, Furo keeps a handwritten bestiary of everything they write. They often keep it with them in their pile of textbooks and when they go on hikes with the Mountain Appreciation Club. Furo will rattle off facts about all the animals they can turn into and those they are learning to turn into under their breath.
If you catch them when they are intensely studying, you may be able to hear them reciting the notes in the animal language corresponding to the entry they are on. It will take them a moment to collect themselves after that, so there is a possibility they will respond in the animal language.
"Manatees have nostrils instead of blowholes...They communicate through squeaks when submerged..."
Ronald:
5. His nose crinkles and wiggles. There is actually a little story to it. When he was little, he went on a fishing trip with one of the neighboring old folks. He wasn't supposed to go snooping around, but he did cause he's a big brave buck! Well, long story short he got a snapping turtle to the nose and when questioned he was lying through his teeth and wiggling his bleeding nose all the way.
Now, it's sort of a muscle memory thing. Whenever he lies, his nose starts hurting and he ends up scrunching it and moving it side to side. He hates it.
"Y-yeah! I've totally casted that spell before! I could do it with my magic pen behind my back!"
9. He will say that he is an awesome buck any chance he gets. Boasting is his primary form of communication. Even when he is complimenting someone else, somehow, he will fit a compliment for himself in there. The exact wording will change, but the meaning stays the same.
Ron knows what he is doing. No, he will not stop. Gotta have that self love and confidence!
“There isn’t much that I can’t do! I’m a growing buck ready to take on the world!”
10 was answered here!
Florian:
5. He does not have a tell. You will not be able to tell when this sweet boy is pulling your leg or not. He thinks he has a tell, but even when he tries to explain it, others tend to shake their head. Flo’s poker face is on another level. He looks angelic and slightly dazed no matter what happens. Even when he is scared, he just has this pleasant, wide-eyed smile.
“Oh yeah, I love tea!”
9. “Well I heard...” often starts off his sentences. What follows is sure to raise eyebrows. It can either be something useful, a piece of gossip, or just some random nonsense that has nothing to do with the conversation!
“Well, I heard that honeycombs are a wonderful treat! Even the wax!”
10. Florian is always sleepy. He is known to fall asleep in classes often. It’s not because he has a poor sleep schedule, he just...dozes off! Some teachers get mad, and others have learned to let him be. Florian isn’t failing any classes yet, so they just let him do what he does. If his grades start to fall, then they’ll do something about it.
That being said, he can stay awake. He can push through sometimes, but yawns are common and heavy eyelids are a must. Coupled with him being hard to wake up, this leads to him just being carried around sometimes.
“zzzz...”
Phoebus:
5. Another one with no tell when he lies. Granted, he isn’t one to lie often. The only thing he’ll lie about is if he sees a really bad possible outcome with his unique magic. And he technically doesn’t lie, he just deflects and refuses to answer. Lie by omission! If he does truly lie, he’s just gets jittery, and he does that for practically everything.
If he ever did lie to someone, it wouldn’t be long before he tattled on himself. He just can’t deal with lying to people.
“I’d rather not say anything...Oh, did you see that Magishift game last night?”
9. “It’s possible.” That is his response to almost everything. If you ask him a question, you will get this as an answer first. If prompted, he will give a more acceptable answer. He also starts his suggestions like this. Everything is a possibility for him, so he makes sure to remind others of that. Not everything is set in stone.
If people get annoyed, which they often do with his future tendencies, he’ll more mumble this part as he tries to get what he wants to say out.
“It’s possible that you won’t have to deal with detention if you can assure Professor Trein is out of his classroom at exactly 1:32 pm.”
10 was answered here!
Mortimer:
5. His eye will twitch. It is very subtle, and it also happens when he is angry. It’s a toss-up as to which reason it might be for whoever he’s interacting with. He is aware of this tell and is very strategic as to how to cover it up. Can’t have people knowing he is pulling the rug out from under them. If someone points it out, he has a plethora of excuses to use to quell their suspicions.
Mortimer picked up the trait from having to interact with his little sister. The annoyance and constant need to shelter her with falsehoods mingled together and manifested in his eye twitch. It used to just be a tick for when he was angry.
“That is an extravagant idea! I could never have thought of something that like!”
9. He doesn’t repeat many phrases. He finds it annoying, both if he does it or if someone else does. He spent a lot of time expanding his vocabulary, so he might as well use it. If people just keep saying the same thing, it is more likely that their audience tunes them out, and he doesn’t want that.
Mortimer doesn’t want to be predictable. The first thing to that is to always keep what he says fresh. Keep the other person wondering what he will say next, be it nice or not.”
“Now just is it that you want from me? You’re spouting the same nonsense, just with different words.”
10. Mortimer absolutely despises that he can do this. He will repress the urge with all his might. He overanalyzes toys. From baby rings, cat toys, to dolls and figurines. Mortimer will pick them apart and judge the craftsmanship and integrity of it. It is a reflex habit from being raised as a toymaker’s son.
That is why he avoids as much as possible. He can’t help going to get Francine new toys and accessories, so that is when he does it the most. Don’t ask to go with him.
“Ugh, such cheap craftsmanship. Mass production really takes out the integrity for such things.”
Tido:
5. He squeezes his right thigh. When Tido lies, he gets phantom pains in his leg, and he tries to message it out. He is really bad at lying to others. But the funny part is, people just let it be because they don’t want to keep this stuttering fae struggling to come up with something. Tido will look to be in serious pain.
He can’t keep secrets because of this. For both parties involved, do not entrust Tido with secrets. It will not turn out how either want it to.
“Ah, me-my l-leg ish hurting, bad, bad l-like.”
9. “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember” are phrases that Tido often uses while “boss” is his favorite word to use. He has a rough time remembering anything, taking small chunks at a time. Tido doesn’t do to well on tests or when remembering lines. So, it isn’t uncommon to hear him say that he doesn’t recall things.
Tido doesn’t know why he likes the word boss so much, he thinks/hopes it has something to do with his past. He only calls people he likes boss voluntarily.
“I-I don’t remem-mem-member, B-bossh!”
10. Tido will never sit with his back exposed. He will sit so that he faces the exits, with his back as close to a wall as possible. He’ll just do this subconsciously and if asked... “I don’t know”. He’ll get really fidgety if he can’t find a seat like that. He just likes being able to see everything and scan the room easily.
It usually doesn’t cause any pressure, but if someone tries to walk behind him when he isn’t in a seat, he gets really scary and out of character. He’ll grab onto whoever walks behind him and for a moment he gets this glare in his eyes. But, a split second later he’s back to his usual self, apologizing.
“Ah! Sh-showy! D-don’t know, know what c-came over-ver me dere!”
FOR RONALD AND MORTIMER!!! (why did the latter catch my attention?)
Describe your ideal partner.
That's all-
This came out a lot longer than I went in thinking it was going to be...
Hope you enjoy these very opposite people XD
Ronald:
The deer beastman practically pranced to the interview room. This was the best extra credit project ever! It was like he was experiencing press from a race well won, and this first question was golden.
Please describe your ideal partner
Ronald puffed in pride, "Of course! That's a very common question when people have a fan club, and it's only a matter of time until mine is formed." He ignored the awkward roll of the eyes from the interviewer.
"So, the wonderful ladies, enbys, and gentlemen want to know about what I want in whoever gets the title of number one super fan. I can gladly give some details," Ronny shuffled in his seat to match how he's seen other famous racers sit during press conferences. "I guess the first thing is that they have to have a bit of a daredevil in them. I have a need for speed, and I want to race through the hills and/or sky with them grabbing my waist with the wind in our hair. I'd feel awful if that stuff had them quaking in genuine fear."
Ron let his shoulders slide down as he became more introspective. "I want what my Ma and Pa had. By themselves, they were awesome! Totally amazing beastfolk that became even more spectacular when paired together! Where one fell short, the other picked up." He picked himself up once more, "Support is very important to me. I want to be there lift them up when they need it, but I also want to know that they'll be there when I need it. Fame can get lonesome otherwise. Knowing that someone is there at the finish line waiting for me just makes me want to cross that much sooner!"
The buck sighed at the thought. Then he started to blush and fiddle with his antlers. In a more muffled whisper, he tacked on at the end, "I-I guess I like them taller and a tad bit flirty too...But that isn't really important! Ehem...Is that enough detail?"
Mortimer:
"Tido said that this is a way for me to...appeal to masses more. Show them that I'm not just some hunk of muscle to throw around," Mortimer said as he slicked back his dark-green hair. He gave the interviewer a cold stare as he smirked. "But who'd have thought they'd cut straight to my more intimate affairs. I think my crowd appeal is working just fine, despite what my flappy henchman says."
Um, could you des-
"Describe my ideal type. Yes, I was getting to that," Mortimer crossed his legs as he sat back. "I suppose if a man wanted to have the best chances of garnering my favor, he'd have to be a gentleman first and foremost. Some people might like that 'country charm' but not me. Been there, done that, and it's not my thing."
"I value grace, intellect, and artistic visionaries. Someone to enjoy the finer things in life, and if they are able to easily afford such a life it makes things so much easier," He gave small toothy grin. "But since I already plan to achieve such a lifestyle, I'm not too concerned about it. Rather...I'd like to make the most of whatever I can get and make it what I want and need. If I cannot attend a ball with my beloved, I will make a ballroom and play the finest music. If no gallery will allow us entry, well, my artwork far exceeds those dusty canvases. We can admire my work."
The third year grew uncomfortable. "If this is shared to others, and they think they have a chance, I suppose I should get this out of the way." He leaned forward and looked straight ahead with half lidded eyes. "I'm not a family man. I will be cordial with my in-laws, maybe even enjoy them, and...entertain any small family members, but don't expect me to raise anything more than pet children."
"I will happily be a father to cats, maybe a dog if I really love the person, but I don't wish to wake up and deal with children every day. If my significant other so chooses to show their philanthropy threw helping children, by all means they can. However, I will not be someone's legal guardian." He leans back and whispers, "I will not be another one to add to generational...issues."
He pushed his hair back again as he collected himself. After a long sigh he finished, "Yes, someone graceful, intelligent, with an appreciation for the arts, being well endowed in the pockets in a nice perk, and not set on child-rearing are my criteria. Bonus brownie points if they are of beastfolk decent. A preference of mine, but it hardly makes a dent compared to everything else."
A random student, average in appearance, runs up to them. "Hello!" they say. "What is your opinion," they point to a certain silver-haired girl "on that young woman? Yumeko Komi Junko Amane!"
(i was gonna ask this normally but i'm doing this because i was inspird by that one scene in the bee movie.)
Furo:
"Hello? Who?" Furo backed away from the random student. They looked out to where they pointed to the young girl. "Oh, Yumeko? I've seen her around Pomefiore on occasion. Such a sweet girl. I haven't talked to her much, but she's a good child. Why do you ask? Is she having trouble?"
Ronald:
"Why? Is she a fan?" Ronald smirked. "I know I'm up-and-coming, but she shouldn't feel shy talking to me. My mom taught me humility, I know how to tone down my awesomeness to talk to others." He waved over at the girl smuggly. He cupped his mouth and yelled out. "Don't be shy! Come on over and say hi!"
Florian:
"Ah!" Florian clutched his tail tighter. He was just at NRC for a basketball game, he didn't expect to be questioned. "Uh, um, I don't know. What is she like? Any fun stories to share? Huh? Well yeah I could go ask myself...but where's the fun in that?"
Phoebus:
"She's wonderful. She brushes my hair sometimes and lets me bounce conspiracy theories off her every once in a while," Phoebus smiled. "Tell her I said hi when fall over later. Oh, well there is a 45% chance you'll trip over your own toes when you go back to talk to Yume. Have a nice trip now!"
Tido:
"L-like da Liddle Lady! Sh-Sweet she is, is!" Tido bounced. "Kind, kind to da, da dollsh I got. Wa-watch mushicals wid me!"
Mortimer:
"Ah, Miss Yumeko. Yes, Tido is very fond of her. Always a great boost to his morale you see." Mortimer chuckled. "Hm? My views? Well, she keeps my little henchman happy and is a great asset in my deeds as well. Do I need to explain more?"
Yumeko: Mortimer-Senpai, why do you have my ring? Please give it back.
"Of course, my dear," Mortimer grinned. "I was just looking for you to return it, honestly." He leaned down to offer the fine piece of jewelry back to its owner.
"Really?" Yumeko raised an eyebrow as she took the ring from his hand.
"Truly! I remembered you having it, so when I saw my sticky fingered dormmate with it I just had to right the wrong that must have occurred." Mortimer saw the hesitation Yumeko had. He sighed, dropping his charming exterior. "Honestly, my reputation might be as clean as a pit of fertilizer, but theft isn't part of my signature."
"Then what is your signature, senpai?"
Mortimer leaned in and whispered, "Now if I told you, where would that leave me?" He stood to his full height. "Careful, my dear. Right now, you are nothing more than a lone hen and there is a fox lurking in the shadows."
