@suffearable becomes the victim of elder abuse
"I think it every time I see it, but I'm so sure that the whole of Fontaine would fall to ruin if you were seen outside like this." Wriothesley commented with a low whistle, more than content to admire the view as he entered the office to his beloved dragon dressed down without the bulk of his robes hiding his svelte figure. A beautiful sight to behold, sure, but the testament to the comfort Neuvillette felt around him enough to shed the very robes that distinguished him as the Iudex rather than simply Neuvillette was what truly warmed the Duke's heart and made him want to get his arms around the beautiful man he'd fallen head over heels for years ago.
"Y'know sometimes I catch myself thinking about stealing you away to keep you at the Fortress with me, but I couldn't possibly lock you up somewhere so ugly, it wouldn't suit you." Now if he had somewhere nicer... Well, he was just a man after all- a man with all the ability in the world to be selfish and every desire to see it through with only his sense of responsibility keeping him from really acting on it. Unfortunately such things weren't meant to be, but he could still enjoy the way his hands settled so perfectly on Neuvillette's waist and how the Iudex could be so warm and pliant in his hold.
But then a thought crossed his mind after a certain incident he'd had during a check-up with Sige just the other day.
A thought that simply wouldn't leave him alone because once it made its way into his head how could he not try to find the answer to this very intriguing question: were dragons ticklish?
This could get him into trouble. It might even be risky enough to get a water blast to the face harsh enough to knock him halfway across the office, but after a little peppering of kisses he hoped would make up for it over the bridge of Neuvillette's pretty nose his palms would move from where they'd comfortably settled at Neuvillette's waist to be replaced with his fingers wiggling at his sides in hopes of a reaction.
