“Your that information broker, the one that’s been working closely with my son and his swords?” Regis asked, admiringly at the younger woman, glancing down at the skull neatly set out on a cloth in front of him.

“You have exquisite taste in gifts, Miss Marina, correct? It certainly fits in with the decor, though may I ask just who it belonged to?” the mob king asked, brow quirked, smiling smoothly at her.

Liz casually slid up behind the crime prince and looked over his shoulder before resting her chin on it. There was a pause before her curiosity would get the eventual better of her. "So whatcha doin'?" She asked in a light sing-song voice.

“Making a night light,” Noctis said dryly, and then chuckled, glancing slightly to the side even as he delicately wove lightning and fire into the bottle, wrapping them around several rare teeth.

“Never keep track of them. Is this a plausible deniability zone, or do you actually wanna know about my little night light project?” he asked, turning just enough to kiss the side of her head, as he worked.

🖐 - Give my muse a backrub (versus Gladio and Rina's dancer, since gladio deserves nice things)

Gladiolus actually groaned. He knew she was strong, he expected that of her by now, ballerinas in general had a lot of strength. But he hadn’t quite translated that into her having strong enough hands to give him a damn good backrub through his tense muscle.

He exhaled, half forcing himself to relax and half just letting himself as Rina’s hands worked over his back.

“You are a literal fucking angel,” the enforcer moaned out as her hands helped a knot of tension that’d been there since a fight days ago finally ease.

"Fuck off."

Gladiolus leaned in her doorway, rapping on the frame with the back of his knuckles and snorting. She hadn’t even looked over at him yet.

“That the way you greet your favorite Caelum thug?” he asked, self deprecatingly. Ever since she and Noct had gotten things settled out for the weapons shipments with the glaives, he’d dropped by every now and then.

“Just wandering by, making sure the boys and girls aren’t giving you any hassles lately. You’ve got free reign to sell in Insomnia, want to make sure no one’s bothered you still, no complaints. You know, your resident help line,” Gladio grinned warmly.
