do you have any specifics on how wriothesley burps ? honestly I could be anything from the sound to his body language:) ty !!
OHH I LOVE THINKING ABOUT THIS. It's a bit tricky because considering his upbringing I'm tempted to say that he would be. Not very delicate with ít. He grew up in the meropide and I'm pretty sure manners weren't that important back there. But he's in a veeery different place right now. He's the duke, he has an image to keep now. I think you can tell where I am going to with this?
For his before self I can picture him as just burping very freely. Leaning backwards, hand on his stomach as he belches deeply. It's a sound as low as it is his voice when he moans afterwards in relief.
And of course he would try to shake this habit off when he started to interact with people in high positions such as the ludex or the archon themselves. But it's easier said than done, so he can never actually reach the elegance and subtlety of someone who grew up learning table manners, there's just always some quirks to him that just betray this, let's say rough nature.
I think of W.rio having dinner with N.euvi and F.uri and it's just sadly obvious when he has to burp. He sits straight, goes all silent for a couple of seconds, (and if he's speaking, he takes a pause). All serious and stiff all of the sudden. He does all that hoping that, being the contrary of his previous crude manners, it won't draw attention. It absolutely does. 😭 He then brings a fist to his mouth to stiffle it and doesn't work that much either, it still reverberates, low and deep. Worst of all his face goes awfully red at the end because he's nervous about him not being subtle enough. I don't think N.euvi and F.uri. Or most of people really. Would be really annoyed at it though, because it's a bit amusing to see how he tries so hard to be subtle and it just backfires.
How I love W.rio and how I love coming up with kink hcs about him that incorporate his backstory 😭😭 This is the first time I actually thought of his relationship to table manners comsidering the way he grew up. He's so dear to me ty for the ask.
