[a small Rift opens up over the Duke's chair in his office and a fluffy creature in a hat gets out of it, steps on his head and then jumps down to his desk. It turns towards him] Hey, Boss. Everyone in the Abyss says that spying on your life, I mean- [checks a smudged writing on their hand] "following your... tumblr blog...." has been awfully uneventful lately, so they sent me to check on you. Whacha doin' [the creature also sticks their nose in his teacup] and what kind of tea is this

Nothing is sacred anymore, is it? not even his office although he knows that particular color of portal by now and that its recipient is mostly harmless. They just derive entertainment from his and Neuvi's interactions and in that aspect they're quite similar to most melusines.

"Taxes" he answers short and straight to the mage's first question.

"The tea is Lapsang Souchong by the way. I can make you a cup if you want."

Hey Hugo, don't forget to unwrap your birthday gift

To say he was initially quite pissed today was the understatement of the century. Like sure he had spent time with his sister and the proxies celebrating his birthday ( he didn't really do that in the past years for various reasons, one of them being the bitter memories associated with the day).

But today one person, the one he awaited a message from the most didn't say a thing besides the usual good morning.

It was almost evening and he didn't get a bloody damn sign from this mutt, how dare he toy with his heart like that and after how courteously he was forgiven for other past misgivings.

So when he opened the door to his room he was quite taken aback( in a good way) to see the wolf wrapped like a present (literally).

While he was still a little pissed off he was also quite flustered so he closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"You damn buffon!!!! No wonder you couldn't text me or call me...I almost thought you forgot in favor of working for a client!!!" he exclaimed, however a soft smile was sneaking upon his face "I thought it was suspicious your bangboo was here but you weren't. Now this explains it." he continues as he unties the ribbon that was against the thiren's mouth "Well, better late than never, thank you for your exquisite present my dear puppy~"

Emma and @redthemarten‘s Setsu dressed as Scott and Kim from Scott Pilgrim.  They both like to cosplay, so we decided to do drawings of them as different characters.  I’ll reblog Red’s picture after I’ve posted this.  It was a fun drawing and there’ll probably be more in the future.

augh, I've been meaning to send this earlier, but was busy with other stuf;;; I hope it's still okay to do this! For that question thingy from a while back: 🎶&🏞️

🏞️ - Favourite place

"Besides my home there's a specific hill in the Erinnyes where I like to sunbathe, or occasionally have a picnic there"

🎶- Favourite song

"There's a lot of classicals i'm fond of, but to name a few for this question I would say 3 Romances, Op. 11: No. 1,Andante; La passante du Sans-Souci; Animal Carnival: Aquarium and Dance Macabre."

When the Duke is making breakfast, an Abyss Rift of a familiar color opens up next to him and the fluffy creature in a red hat walks out of it onto his kitchen counter.

"The other Abyss Mages were very content about the shirtless taxes. Here, have this," the Mage pulls out a piece of a very squished chocolate cake (no wrapping) out of their pocket and once again puts it in Wriothesley's hand. At least this time it is not half-eaten, but you get a very awkward feeling that there was once icing on this cake and someone licked it clean off.

"This is for the Constellation. But the next time you give me a Mona first, I may actually do something evil. So be warned," they say in a way which doesn't sound the least bit intimidating, then goes back into the Rift and disappears.

When he sees the rift again he wonders what news and demands is the mage going to bring.

"Yeah so content I got caught in a bubble at some point. Of course the kidnap attempt wasn't successful, after all i'm quite dedicated to one person only." he replies back half joking

"I accepted to drink one of Sigewine's milkshakes in order to bribe her to use the bubble gun and get revenge for me" he says with a snicker remembering the mage that caught him being caught in the melusine's bubble repeatedly

"Don't worry you're safe because at least you know how to ask me respectfully about stuff"

He places the cake on the saucer from his tea cup. Of course judging it also looks touched he will once again make some of the resident crabs very happy, or who knows perhaps he will take it upside and feed it to one of the vishaps. They have been very cuddly lately.

"Awwww you wouldn't, you like me too much. I've sent her to do some divination on your guys demands, please don't mind me"

[slides into the Duke's office and leaves a bunch of tarot cards] temperance, justice and the tower (but like, when you're at home and you can wear whatever you want without worrying about reputation and how others perceive you. The REAL deal. I will know if you're lying)

justice: favorite color of rose?

"It's actually going to sound really cheesy but I like pink and white roses the best followed very close by blue roses ( this one is obvious why)" the duke replies with a soft longing smile "The first two however are because of the meaning behind them"

temperance: can you describe a strange dream you’ve had?

"Judging some of the weird stuff I see in the fortress I don't know if my dreams would qualify as strange or normal. Although there was this one dream where my teapot gained legs and kept running away from me"

the tower: favorite colors to wear?

"Blue because I love stealing my husband's coats and silk kimonos. They're comfortable and smell like him it's a double win for me, plus he steals some of my clothes too from time to time(daily).

Other than that there's like a pair of gray sweatpants I love to wear."

[lordincognito]

you have been USED

"If you missed my headpats this much you should have told me" the man says with a smirk on his face followed by picking the mage like a cat.

He always wondered if they're as fluffy as they look and looks like he was proven right.

Satisfied with his answer the duke starts mindlessly petting the mage
