[Wriothesley is unused to the way the man is right now. He had seen it before when Neuvillette had been here before. Feral. Beastly. Something exhilarating showing behind that prim and proper face that Neuvillette always held as Fontaine's Iudex.

Neuvillette's obvious unfamiliarity to this place tells him enough and so he tucks those feelings and memories away. That baggage wasn't belonging to this man and he wasn't about to drop it on their lap when they were obviously struggling through their current predicament.

Wriothesley pulls a handkerchief from his pocket and gently cleans Neuvillette's face though. The way the other helps is gentle. Revenant. Kind. He then places the handkerchief in Neuvillette's hand before circling his hand around the other's waist. To some, it looks flirty or sleazy, as though staking his claim. It's protective and possessive though. The way he pulls Neuvillette close to his side shows that he doesn't intend to let anyone touch the other now that he was here.

He starts leading Neuvillette away and towards the elevator.

I wanted to make sure no one thought they had a chance at you. [His tone is still tense, but his shoulders relax when they're out of the auction area and to the more quiet hallways of the resort.] Chips are of no concern of mine. [Wriothesley knew how to make chips anyways and Neuvillette was worth the hit to his banked chips.

But he just didn't want the other to worry about it when there were other pressing matters.
] What do you mean? Can you explain to me how you're feeling?
