Oh, how you hate this predicament you’ve found yourself in, really it's not like you could have known that today's exchange would turn out this way, but still. It’s just awful and you don’t want to be here.
As you land on the stone path before The Lustrous-- before Adenza’s grand cathedral, the events that led you to this encounter flicker through your mind.
It was some younger troll who had come to you late at night, barely a couple of hours before sunrise, desperate for you to take their name from the world and reshape their identity.
You accepted, of course, why wouldn’t you? Sure, you were about to settle down for the morning and go to sleep, but it was one of the fastest feats of magic you can perform. You didn’t know that there was another powerful influence already inflicted upon them until it was too late and now... Now you had to personally ask Adenza to free them of their influence for your exchange to complete. If you didn’t, you couldn’t perform any more exchanges and that would have disastrous consequences for you.
So, off you went to speak to your old friend after all this time.
You shake your head to clear out the recollection and focus on addressing the present, letting the chime of your chains calm your elevated heart rate. You exhale, then open the large wooden doors before you, keeping your hands raised in a defensive position as soon as you finish. You know they have a guard of some kind and you didn’t live this long only to get skewered by some overprotective delusional fool.
“Adenza, I need to speak with you, it’s…” You hesitate as your half-moon gaze flits upward to the radiant figure lounging on the altar ahead, taking in the devil you just thought of. Mentally, you know that they wouldn’t appreciate the comparison, but you’re still too bitter to care how they feel about anything. Finally, the end of your sentence slips out in a murmur, “...It’s your old friend, I need something.”
The gold bloods gaze has been on you since you entered and their expression is as unreadable as you expected. They’re smiling faintly, of course, but that doesn’t really mean anything. You don’t see their guard at this moment and you thank the stars for that because the faster you’re done here the better. You hate seeing this.
“Ah, Tavian, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you and we have spoken to one another. I would have visited you, but our home was gone by the time I returned.”
The way with which they mention it so casually irritates you and you wonder if they care. You know they may have, once, a long time ago before they blinded themself with their own luminous ego. “Yes, well, shame it is to say, I’m not here to reminisce or catch up. I need you to remove whatever you’re doing to the Blue that came to me the other night. It’s preventing me from my work and I’m sure you can imagine how un-fun that is for me.” You’ve closed your wings, but have yet to put them away, just in case they don’t take kindly to your demands and you need to make an escape. You don’t trust this place.
Adenza frowns. You aren’t sure exactly what that means, since you haven’t peered in on them in some time, but it definitely makes you nervous.
“Yes, I know to whom you are referring.”
That does not bode well, even still after all these sweeps, you know a short sentence from someone like Adenza can be a bad sign. A touch of sweat beads on your forehead when you see their giant bodyguard come from behind and loom over them to glare at you, even from this distance his tall and muscular stature intimidates you. You have to bite back your normal cheeky replies and instead schmooze. This feels so beneath you, but you know you probably can’t fend off both of them, you’re just not built for that.
“Look, Your Lustrousness, I did not know they were one of yours before accepting their request. I am trying to get this over with as quickly and easily as possible, what’s one follower for a quick chat with an old friend anyway?” This isn’t you, well, not the way you speak and it certainly isn’t the way you feel about any of this, but you’re no idiot, so you just hold your tongue for now.
Their smile returns a little as they reply, “You are right Tavian, let me offer you this extension of goodwill, if I may. I would hate for us to be on bad terms after our growing up together.” They look over their shoulder at their-- Mate? Bodyguard? …Assistant? You’re still not completely sure-- And then they give a small nod. Before long the blue you were locked into an exchange with is brought forward to stand in front of Adenza, facing you.
This action gives you the worst feeling you’ve had since you arrived here, but you decide to wait for them to do as you asked and keep your mouth shut.
Adenza sits up with a wince, yet seems unimpeded by it as they outstretch their hands to be on either side of the blue-bloods head. Their eyes begin to glow with warm radiant light, one that usually inspires awe but to you only brings out discomfort.
After a moment their nose begins to bleed. You think that’s the worst of it but then the Blue’s eyes begin to bleed and they cry out, falling to their knees in pain.
“All taken care of, now please, take them with you and be on your way for the evening Tavian, I must retire…”
You’re frozen for a moment before your brain finally catches up with what just happened. It only takes another second before you swoop in and grab the injured troll, ushering them outside with you as quickly as you can.
As you exit through the double doors of the cathedral with a whimpering troll in your arms, you can’t help but think of what could’ve happened to the troll you used to know; The one who left to help people with their gifts, not to hurt them.
Hey Adonis, do you have different ear cuffs for different occasions, or are the ones you wear a signature kinda look?
"I have a small handful of different cuffs that I swap out depending on the occasion, as much as I love gold even I know it doesn't go with everything. The ones I wear now are what I'm known for, though! They're my favorite; they're nice, sharp, and pull everything together. Who doesn't like a good wing motif?"
Chrona since yo hate driving so much do you prefer rideshare services, or paying for personal chauffeurs?
"I'd sooner be caught dead than using a bloody uberpool. The whole point is to avoid being clustered with people. That being said, I have a number of chauffeurs to aid me, and only sometimes rely on my husband if he's up to the task, really."
“Having a number of chauffeurs on speed dial is the easiest for me.”
what i love about Viserys is that she has NO shame whatsoever and is just so unapologetically herself, like, its so refreshing to see someone so genuine and true if that makes sense. She's messy, she fucks up, she's a fucking goofball, and nothing really keeps her down. Whatever the he shes got going on, she owns it
💔 - What’s something you dislike about your muse?
how much of a HYPOCRITE Chrona is. How hes surprisingly ready to badger you and push you to treat yourself better (or take care of you) but doesnt dare let people do the same for him. i dislike that he years for romance and connections but swats away at it in the same vein

YES!! I was waiting for someone to ask about that! Thank you! 🤩
It's actually purple, and it was a gift from a childhood friend that's part of a plot Corali is involved in. :3c Prior to her stint in the slave kennels, she had friends all over the spectrum, and one was a purple troll.
