Soft. Warm. Cozy.
The beep of the Watch is gentle, a considerately low sound when rousing newly arrived wildcards while a small vibration tickles the wrist. Satin sheets slide with the lazy stretch of legs. Bedding shuffles. The room is a comfortable temperature but … for some reason, it’s maybe a touch too warm? And cramped?
As characters rouse from their slumber (or otherwise blink into awareness) they will find that they are now in a shitty resort room. They have been temporarily allocated a rank 2 suite. These suites are small and the twin bed takes up the majority of the space inside. Walkable area is minuscule. There is no decor or window. All characters are naked, wearing only a white terrycloth robe knotted at the waist. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.
But perhaps that’s not the most alarming part.
They’re not alone.
All characters will find themselves waking up in pairs. Not only have they woken up in an entirely unknown place, they are pressed up against and/or are cuddling what may potentially be a total stranger. Even if a pair is lucky enough to know one other ... pretty awkward waking up together like this, isn't it?
Due to holiday overbooking all characters are required to share a room while the backlog of reservations are processed. Some of these rank 2 suites may even have three temporary residents if you’re feeling spicy.
The resort is truly sorry that they overbooked during the holiday season. This is unprecedented. They have never before seen the house bring in so many new guests at once. Without even a heads up for the staff. It’s like being middle management isn’t worth it! For the sake of avoiding headaches and customer complaints, wildcards will find that each room has an included a gift basket as an apology for the inconvenience.
Wildcards that explore outside will find staff running around like frenzied hens. These employees will encourage wildcards to go wash up in the bathroom, a communal space with plenty of free supplies for newcomers. The communal bathroom is a clean area with multiple open showers, sinks, and water closets. Wildcards will find shelves stocked with basic toiletries and clean towels. They will also find other general bathroom amenities available for use like hair dryers, face masks, scrub brushes, combs, razors, toothbrushes, q-tips, and so on.
All facilities inside the communal bathroom aside from the toilets are open concept and there is no separation based on gender (or anything else). Everyone is expected to share.
Some of the staff will pity these poor new guests that have had their reservations pushed out. They will show characters the way to one of the small supply closets that are used by cleaning staff. The closet is small but fully stocked with linens, extra toiletries, pillows, robes, slippers, and yellow Golden Peacock tracksuits in a full range of sizes. They will encourage wildcards to take whatever they want before running off again.
But those that aren’t careful might find themselves in an interesting predicament.
Wildcards will find that the hallways of the basement are chilly and narrow. Heading to the end of the hallway will reveal a stairwell where they can ascend to check out the main resort. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

ODDS
ODDS
A bird cries in the distance. Water beads trickle down chilled flesh. Itch itch itch—something pokes your bare ass.
The beep of the Watch is as gentle as it was for the new arrivals that didn’t wake up on the cold hard ground but the sound blends into the rustle of leaves and the gurgle of the river. Unlike their luckier colleagues, some wildcards have unexpectedly woken up in the middle of lush vegetation. Oops! That was a miscalculation. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.
Wildcards that wake up in the Vale will be completely naked and without a resort robe to cover up. Lost amid thick bushes, mushroom clusters, and towering trees, it doesn't feel like they're in a resort at all. Isn't this a rainforest? By all accounts, this is a rainforest.
Those that wake in the Vale will have to make their way through the rainforest to find the exit. Really, so unexpected! This was not what we had in our system at all. It must be overloaded from high demand. Our apologies. Please don't complain.
Laughter rings throughout the forest. Footsteps echo. Branches snap. There are other people around aside from you naked newbies. If eavesdropped upon, wildcards may pick up on what these guests are cawing about. It sounds like they’re playing some kind of game.
Wildcards that wake up in the Vale may unwittingly stumble into one of the resort’s popular roleplaying games: Sexy Hunter 💕 and 💕 Sexier Prey.
There are numerous booby traps set around the forest. The goal of the game is to trap your prey and take them home for kinky fun and these guests weren't expecting newbies to suddenly drop in! The traps won’t hurt anyone but they will put them in some embarrassing positions.
After braving the elements and surviving booby traps, these wildcards may finally find civilization. The lounge pagoda where many of the long-standing guests are hanging out and enjoying drinks is comfortable and connected to a bathroom where characters can themselves clean up. In contrast to the naked muddy wildcards, the guests on the pagoda are dressed in trendy and elaborate clothing.
They stare at the newly arrived nude wildcards before breaking into shouts of glee and approval.
“Yes, brilliant idea, it’s a naked party! Whoohoo! Come on everyone. Take your clothes off. All of them! Naked party, naked party, naked party!”
These NPCs will shed their clothing and begin to skinnydip in the pools and river. They will chase each other—and wildcards! Wildcards will find themselves surrounded by an orgy. They will encourage wildcards to join in on the fun and offer them food and drink to get into the mood.
Wildcards will find the exit out to the central hub and elevator bank behind the pagoda. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

MAIN LOBBY
MAIN LOBBY
The Peacock is buzzing with excitement! The massive main lobby is especially spectacular with golden streamers, dazzling lanterns, glittering ornaments, and cheerful music. There doesn’t seem to be one particular holiday being celebrated with the general theme being winter and holiday. An amalgamate like this resort simply couldn’t select one thing and had to go for everything (more is always better). The hallways and aisles are packed with streams of guests in ostentatious outfits. One can’t swing a cat without hitting someone*.
*No cats were harmed in the making of this TDM. We love cats.
There are sprigs of mistletoe above many of the hallways and doors. Surprisingly, the mistletoe have no supernatural abilities whatsoever, but guests that spy two people beneath the mistletoe together will point and demand they kiss. It’s tradition. Don’t be a downer during the festive season. Succumb to the peer pressure.
Hallways are also decorated with vases of poinsettia flowers. Nothing is amiss about these flowers during day hours, but during late night hours they will pick themselves up and trade vases with each other.
They are polite flowers and try to change when there are no guests around but don’t always manage to do it discreetly. Wildcards may notice something gold glinting in the roots of the scrambling poinsettias. Wildcards who manage to grab these flowers and comb through their roots can collect a simple gold ring (along with shivers of, iyaaaa, we just met, so bold).
Birdbucks is likewise getting into the winter spirit. Despite there being no weather in the resort they are offering seasonal hot drinks! Prices aren’t any cheaper than usual but the quality is better than their standard coffee. They are offering four new delicious new flavors: Buttered Honey Rum Coffee, Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Cinnamon Latte, and Rainbow Cookie Cappuccino.
These drinks won’t do anything other than make one wired from all the caffeine, but guests are encouraged to enjoy them around one of the fireplaces set up throughout the main hallways. Many people are snuggling up to the fire while nursing a Birdbucks drink and telling stories. A great way to get to know your fellow guests! Each fireplace is surrounded with festive cushions, beanbags, pillows, and blankets.
"Have you all heard about the Peacock’s annual wish tradition? No? I’m an old-timer around here, let me tell you … see those little jars hanging amongst the lights? You’re supposed to write down your heart’s desire on a piece of paper and stick it into the jar. Then, take a match and light it on fire. They say if you do that you’ll get your desire within the next 12 months. Me? I’m wishing for an older babe, a high rank babe, to become my sugar momma… what, doing it together with someone? Sure. They say that if you do it with someone you’ll have a fated connection forevermore. So don’t do it with someone you don’t like, hah!"
Wildcards will find that that loud guest isn’t lying. Many small glass jars hang alongside the fairy lights and there are multiple tables with paper, pens, and matches.
Guests are scribbling down their desires and stuffing them into the jars, watching with glee as the lit paper crumbles to ash. Couples who put their desires in the same jar are said to have a fated connection forever after so many couples can be found following the tradition. Nothing happens right away ... but who knows? It may prove to be true later.

RED CARDINAL
RED CARDINAL
Those looking to escape from the crowds will find respite in Red Cardinal. Despite being busier than usual, this particular bar remains serene with guests calmly enjoying food and drink. The decorations are minimal with a few red hanging paper lanterns. The proprietress, a handsome woman in her forties, works the bar while watching all guests with an eagle eye. Guests can be loud and out of control in the hallways; they aren’t going to behave that way in her bar.
Due to limited space, all wildcards that come alone looking for a meal will be seated at a two-top table with another wildcard. The menu for the holiday season is preset. All dishes are cooked by the proprietress's own hands, so the aroma has the comforting spice of homemade. She fully expects these wildcards to eat every single morsel. To leave any dish with scraps would offend her.
"Full? What do you mean, full? Look at you. You're so thin! Eat up, don't leave anything behind. Is my food not good enough? What's wrong with it?"
Guests that do not manage to finish the entire holiday spread will be bullied into washing dishes in the kitchen. The amount of dishes to be washed is massive. There is no dishwasher so it must all be done by hand. Wildcards sent to kitchen duty will not be allowed to leave until every dish is scrubbed clean. It's the least they can do after insulting her cooking by leaving food on the plate.
Guests that decide to skip the food and set up at the bar will find dozens of sealed wine jars. The proprietress will share that these wines are her personal make that she only offers once a year. She has not labeled the effects of these wines for her own personal amusement. Guests who wish to purchase a jug must select one based on the name written label, without knowing what may have been added into the mix.
Red Cardinal has all the other usual options as well. They carry basic spirits, beer, and other no-fuss drinks. Characters may also order small bar snacks like nuts and chips.
All jugs have a high APV. Drink too much and you may end up sleeping on the floor of the bar!

LOVE DOVE
LOVE DOVE
Love Dove, the resort's largest department store, is running a massive end of the year sale. All items are between 50% - 70% off, which is a massive bargain for those that are tight on chips!
Stepping inside will transport you away from the busy crowds of the main hallways and into several floors of retail magic. Not wanting to be outdone by competitors, Love Dove has pulled out all the stops to impress during the festive season with massive decorations and mannequin set-ups. Large bows and ribbons, boxes done up in shiny paper, trees and candelabras, sparkles sparkles sparkles. There are also several tables set up around the store offering complimentary glasses of wine and chocolate covered strawberries.
Characters will find a section for every kink imaginable in the store. Gaze in wonder upon the wall of strap-ons. Marvel at the wide shade range of the silicone penises. Bask the rainbow of silky lingerie—for both women and men. There are gadgets and gizmos a-plenty, including some design oddities of Love Dove’s own creation that wildcards may never have seen before. The store even has staged areas for guests to try out some of the more elaborate equipment before buying. While it is not encouraged to use anything insertable before buying for hygienic reasons, guests can turn display toys on to test vibration strength and suction power.
Despite being a sex department store, Love Dove also has several departments dedicated to regular clothing and undergarments. Characters will find decent basics like t-shirts, sweatpants, underwear, jackets, jeans, skirts, shoes, and dresses for slashed prices. Don't miss these deals! The sale ends when the winter festivities end.
At the front of the store there is a temporary section with an elaborate display. Wildcards will find Love Dove promoting masks and feathered costumes. They will hand out fliers inviting all guests the holiday masquerade. Drinks! Food! Dancing! A night that you surely won't forget! New guests simply cannot miss this party. Anyone who is anybody is going to be there.
All those who plan attend the masquerade are required to dress up. In the spirit of the season Love Dove is offering especially good sales on these elaborate costumes. For those with simpler tastes, there are also ballgowns and tuxedos in various prints and colors. The most important article is, of course, the mask.
Staff will encourage wildcards to pay particular attention in choosing a mask that resonates with them.
Masks with effects may be purchased and worn in any of the masquerade prompts.

LOVE DOVE (AT NIGHT)
LOVE DOVE ... AT NIGHT
For all the joy that comes with celebrating the holidays, the jubilant atmosphere can evoke loneliness in one's heart. There are many different kinds of loneliness. The melencholy of missing someone that's died. Sorrow from being parted from your family. The ache of watching the one you love celebrating with someone else. The mourning of being left behind by a friend. These feelings are fleeting in the resort—luxury and hedonism are great distractions—but where do they go after that?
Right now they're manifesting in the sex toys.
Guests browsing Love Dove during night hours will find that some of the sex toys have been possessed by residual loneliness.
Loneliness is a powerful force and it has granted the toys the power to act on their own. Guests had better watch out—as brainless tools gifted a sense of autonomy, all they know to do is fulfill their function.
The sex toys are low level and easy to fight off but please note the you break it you buy it signs posted all over the store. Can you afford to go all out, even with the current deals?

CASINO FLOOR
CASINO FLOOR
The Phoenix Casino has been transformed into a winter wonderland. Trademark royal blue has been replaced by shades of gold and white with pops of bright red lanterns. Guests in elaborate masks and costumes mesh together and then part, reveling in pretending to be someone else for a little while.
All have dressed to impress, sparing no expense in dripping themselves in precious gems and metals. Some of the guests are treated like gods—these are the royal rank guests and the difference in treatment from the rest of the crowd is palpable. These dazzling celebrities take up much of the spotlight, laughing loudly at card tables and shooing away anyone too low of a rank to breathe their air. They don't bother to hide their identities. Why, when they have the best of everything?
There are several game tables set up where crowds are playing and betting. Wildcards are encouraged to join in on the fun and given some grace from social judgement because they have no official rank yet. Some wildcards may even find guests making eyes at them over the table. After all, who knows if the house has been watching and decided that they’re a favorite? Today’s wildcard can be tomorrow’s new 10 rank.
Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.
The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.
The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.
Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?
The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!

Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.
The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.
The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.
Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?
The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!
GAME ROOMS
GAME ROOMS
The resort has arranged for four special events during the masquerade. These events take place in private rooms away from the bustle of the main party. There is no advertising about what is in each room and many guests are swept into the momentum. Highly trained staff tending to the door will be quick in prepping wildcards who wander in, giving them little time to realize what exactly they’ve stumbled into before it begins.

no subject
Just kidding.
He is a little sheepish and he does seem at least somewhat embarrassed for what he did. At the same time...isn't he always the type to be kind of playful?] I think my pride won't ever recover, but I'm fine otherwise. [A dramatic sigh.]
Seriously though, I really am fine. Other than this place being kind of a ride, it's not been completely terrible.
[A tilt of his head.] I didn't know you wanted a pet though. [Oops, forget the serious part.]
no subject
Unfortunately, I don't have much time to devote to training obedience.
[ slipping back into their usual back and forth to cope? maybe. once the initial surprise fades, clorinde's expression smooths back down to something more neutral, looking around them to assess their surroundings. as much as she is glad he's fine, she'd rather they figure out their current situation away from the crowd. ]
I suppose it could always be worse. [ she nods towards an empty table in the corner with the complimentary wine and chocolates. ] May I offer some wine to soothe your pride?
no subject
He offers her a grin.] You should give my job a whirl then. You'd have plenty of free time. It's too bad the environment is too poor for having a pet, so I guess it's still a lose-lose situation. [How unfortunate. Maybe they can joint custody a fish or something.]
The food here is good. I think I had dishes that are reminiscent of Liyue. I've never had before and now I'm loathe to live without. [He gestures with a slight tilt of his head towards one of the hallways. They just want to find a quieter place. Maybe a private room that's empty. He's also pretty sure this whole thing requires her to lead him along. Something something, the leash deems it so. He doesn't know. Wriothesley doesn't want to get accidentally choked by a sentient leash.] Also, why can't you ever ask about having a chat over tea? If you wanted to soothe my hurt pride, you would offer me a good cup of tea.
no subject
[ a fish would be ideal, given where he resides. it's not as if anyone bats an eye when she goes down for a visit anyway. but it looks like he's gotten much more familiar with the cuisine; she has yet to try anything, too preoccupied with attempting to figure out how she got here and the responsible party. she may as well now, since they're here. ]
Of course, my mistake. [ she doesn't sound apologetic at all, amusement still lingering in her tone. it's... strange, to lead him around like this, but until they can figure out how to get it off him, better to follow example. she at least maintains a loose grip on the leash as they make their way out to the hallway. ] Perhaps there will be some custard buns left to pair with the tea.
no subject
You're not sorry at all are you? [For a guy who was currently collared and being lead along by a leash, he seemed completely at ease over that specifically. No, it wasn't the leash and collar that made him uncomfortable. It was people who would stop and stare at them. Wriothesley was always bad about being in the limelight, more than happy to fade into the background.]
Let's go then. If you haven't eaten yet, then I'd recommend it anyways. Best to take advantage of good food incase something happens. Also, the custard buns are quite good and I see that you aren't so hopeless in food and tea. They pair exceptionally well with a more bitter tea. [Their conversation seems light enough, but he sprinkles in the mention of having energy incase the worst might happen.]
no subject
[ they're both private people, wriothesley perhaps even more so. clorinde wastes no time in leaving their current spot, heading out into one of the hallways to find a quieter space. the resort is large and filled with guests; a part of her is suddenly glad for the leash, if only so they won't get lost amid the crowd.
eventually, they find their way to the red cardinal, thankfully much quieter compared to the other areas. they're led to a table towards the back, far enough from the other occupied tables, and clorinde drops the leash once they're seated. ]
With the amount of times you've offered me tea in the past, I'd hope that I could pick up a few things since.
no subject
The two of them move through the crowd pretty well. After all, they knew each other well enough. Although his gait was rather casual, there was always just a slight dart of his eyes as he took everything in around them.
He was always carefully watching.
Wriothesley seats himself across the table from her, eyeing the way the leash seems to slowly worm its way closer to her. How funny. It isn't yanking him forward, so he guesses as long as it's in contact of her, it'll behave.]
Of course. It's too bad that I can't brew a pot right now. I find I already miss being able to peruse my collection for the perfect tea to fill my evening. [He chuckles a little as countless plates of food are already being placed on the table. He really doesn't think most people are able to eat the amount of food the proprietress gives each table.
Once they're left alone with food and a pot of tea, Wriothesley speaks again.] What do you intend to do going forward?
no subject
yet it's different here, where duty and titles are meaningless in a place that worships hedonistic bliss. perhaps it's why she's felt off balance—unmoored, when her purpose and identity has been stripped away so completely and so suddenly. she can only do what she can to move forward; blindly, yes, but one step at a time. ]
I'll participate in their games. [ she reaches for one of the custard buns, splitting one in half down the middle. she'd rather not follow along with the whims of whoever brought them here, but they have little choice in the end. ] There isn't much we can do without earning more of the currency here.
no subject
His time in the Fortress as an inmate was very different to what inmates experience now. He made sure of it.
He had done a lot of things in those years. Some of it left unsaid.]
Oh, wonderful. I was worried that I would have to endure being judged by you. It's one thing to know I'm floozy and another thing completely to be called one by a good friend. [He carefully pours tea out for the both of them, taking his time admiring the teapot. It was very different to the porcelain tea sets in Fontaine after all.
He wasn't going to pretend he wasn't going to partake. He wasn't going to deny he was going to enjoy it even.] That is true. It would be impossible not to at least earn a little bit. [His words implied that he would not leave her wanting for currency though.]
no subject
but here they are now. clorinde eats half of the custard bun, pleasantly surprised by the subtle sweetness and the way the bun melts on her tongue. there's another amused huff somewhere in there as she chases it down with tea; it seems his claims that they paired well together were correct after all. ]
Did you think me to be a prude? [ while it's true that she hasn't been involved with someone in a long time, she wasn't completely clueless. neither would she judge him for partaking or enjoying, ] We do what we must to survive.
[ she just doesn't particularly like having her hand forced in such a way, but such is the nature of things. more importantly, his words have her searching his gaze as she finishes the rest of the bun. ]
From you?
no subject
He stabs a piece of duck before looking up at the other.]
Huh? No, no. I don't think of you a prude. [He shakes his head.] There are pretty generous lines between prude, to a healthy sex life, and to me though. [He laughs a bit before putting the forkful of meat into his mouth to chew and swallow.]
I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to just paying for you sometimes. [He gives her a playful grin.] But if you're asking, I can say I am also not opposed.
no subject
Are there?
[ they've never danced around this subject before. while it's true that their banter and inside jokes are common, they've kept it mostly professional, never really delving into their personal affairs. it's not like there's been a need for it; whatever wriothesley chooses to divulge is his choice and the same applies to her. but she finds that her curiosity is piqued—a new perspective she hadn't considered before. ]
I appreciate your generosity, but I'll manage. [ it's the principle of the matter. as for the other part, she lowers her gaze to the food on the table; on anyone else it could be taken as bashfulness, but she considers his words, the meaning beneath them, before meeting his gaze again. ] I wouldn't be opposed either.
no subject
You aren't phased at all by this information.
[He sighs dramatically as though he expected her to be incredibly scandalized. She would never though. They've worked with each other enough and these kind of details would not change her opinion of him anyways. He also knew that she would never talk of it to others.]
Right, right. The offer is always there though. [Because he would rather put out then to find out that a friend is struggling when he could have done something about it.
He rests his chin on the palm of his hand.] Oh? If you say it like that, I'll be tempted.
no subject
[ there's never a dull day in the fortress, but the pankration ring can only do so much, especially for a fighter like wriothesley. but he's right—she wouldn't judge him, and whatever she may have gleaned from him during their conversations she'd always kept them to herself.
her expression softens a little, equal parts fond and wry as she takes another sip of her tea. ]
Just like that, hm. [ she's not one for mixing business with pleasure, but in a place where the latter is all but forced upon them, it's not as if she'd have much choice either way. still, at least he is someone she's comfortable with and trusts, which is more than she can say for anyone else. ] I suppose we are encouraged to give in to temptation.
no subject
[Now he's just throwing things out there just to see if he can get a reaction out of her. Despite the, somewhat, seriousness of their situation of being abducted to some new place without their Visions. Well, no use crying over spilled milk.]
Sorry, sorry. I'm just that easy, I guess. Can't help myself. [Look. He also isn't a fool. Clorinde is beautiful. Fierce. 10 out of 10. He never considered it at all, but he did know that she is without a lack of suitors.
Now that the opportunity was there, he can at least fancy a thought or two.] Not that I would consider you a last resort, because you aren't, but the knowledge of being able to lay with someone and not worry about getting stabbed in the back is comforting.
no subject
Then I'd pity your child.
[ ouch. well, he likes it. maybe. a little bullying in the name of good fun never hurt anyone. their situation will always linger, but it's made easier now knowing that she isn't alone. as much as she'd rather none of them be here, she can't imagine how much more overwhelming it'd be if any of them were here by themselves, even if they'd all dealt with worse in their lives. ]
In that, we're aligned. [ she sets her cup down, folding her hands on the table as she looks at him. there's amusement somewhere in there; interest. she may have been too preoccupied with protecting furina and serving as champion duelist back home to entertain any of those suitors, but she isn't blind. her gaze lingers on the breadth of his shoulders, his chest; the striking blue of his eyes. ] And at the very least, it's efficient, no?
no subject
And here I was going to make you godmother. Now I'm just going to tell them how mean auntie Clorinde was in my most vulnerable moments.
[Of course he knows she means nothing off it. If anything, if any of them were to be able to settle down enough for a family, it would mean that life is comfortable enough for it. That is neither here nor now though. They're in some strange resort that wants them to give into a hedonistic lifestyle filled with debauchery. The exact opposite of comfortably settling down with a family actually.]
Thinking about efficiency for this kind of thing is a little too methodical you know. Maybe it's good that you're here. I think our wonderful, champion duelist deserves a good break. [He chuckles a little.] You are, as we know, busier than I am. Kick your feet up and enjoy yourself for a change.
no subject
[ auntie clorinde... god. but what a thought—settling down, having a family. even before waking up here, she'd known that kind of life wouldn't be possible for her. if she was just a normal citizen, perhaps, but not one with her title. it was a sacrifice she had made a while ago, however, and it's one she's willing to accept.
but that's something to think about another time. maybe she is being too methodical about the whole thing, taking the emotion out of it when it practice, she knows it isn't always so cut and dry. ]
And how would you suggest I go about doing that, Your Grace?
[ you know, seeing as he's clearly got a wealth of experience in this area. ]
no subject
[It's nice to fantasize a little. That's what it was. Fantasizing. Because Wriothesley knows himself well enough that settling down is just not in his cards. If it's not in his cards and not in Clorinde's cards, then it simply was just a daydream.]
Hmm? Have you ever tried just going with the flow? [He grins and stabs one of the dumplings and holding it out for her to eat off his fork.] There's no need to think too hard about these things and merely just doing it.
no subject
At least take me on a date first before telling me you'd like to bear my child. [ sir?? ] I suppose there's not much for you to do if you can spare the time to read my love letters.
[ a little daydreaming never hurt anyone, even ones as fantastical as this. it doesn't help that she can imagine wriothesley snooping through the letters while enjoying his tea. she hasn't received any in person yet, and she'd like to keep it that way.
but the dumpling effectively distracts her, following the line of the fork up to his arm and then to his face. a faint blush colors her cheeks, even if her expression remains the same, albeit a touch wry. ]
I see. And this is going with the flow?
[ she chuckles before reaching out to wrap her fingers around his wrist to tug him closer, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear as she leans in to take the dumpling. his skin is warm beneath her fingers, softer along his inner wrist, and she tries to follow his suggestion to not think overly much of it. it's a little difficult, however, when she feels something like anticipation simmering within.
eventually, she releases him, licking away a stray drop of sauce from the corner of her mouth before leaning back. ]
no subject
It just so happens that sometimes he gets to read rather amusing things.]
Holding food out to your friends is very normal, I assure you. Can we not feed each other once in awhile? [He sees the slight flush and it's a memory he will tuck away from himself. Getting Clorinde to smile was one thing. Getting Clorinde to blush is another thing completely.
But hey. Isn't she eating this dumpling a little too sexily???
He can still feel the warmth of her fingers on his wrist. Actually, it feels like his wrist is on fire. His smile widens.] The food here is good, right? Do you want another? [It's a game now. Clorinde is getting dragged into one of his very immature games. What will come of it? Who knows.]
no subject
[ maybe that's where the feeding comes in. and since he's decided to go and make this a game, clorinde figures she may as well go along with it, spearing a sweet and sour rib on her fork and holding it out for him. it's dangerous; but maybe it's the atmosphere, or maybe it's just the fact that she's comfortable around him enough to go through with it. there may be a third part of this that just wants to see how far they'll go. ]
Perhaps we can take turns.
no subject
[Wriothesley's grin is something wolfish. He leans forward and carefully uses his tongue to pull the meat off her fork and into his mouth. There's something definitely charged about his action, even if he leans back as though nothing is out of the ordinary. Until he lifts his hand to carefully take the bone out, having used only his mouth to get the flesh off to eat.]
How delectable. The meat is quite tender, but still firm. The flavor exquisite on the tongue.
no subject
[ trust isn't something that he gives often, and she's aware he could talk his way out of many things. but when it comes down to someone he cares about, she imagines he may be less cagey. but that's all conjecture—she could be entirely off base.
it's easier to focus on his grin and the sharpness of it; the slick curl of his tongue around the meat as he tugs it off her fork. she finds her mouth suddenly dry, needing to take a sip of her tea afterwards. idly, she wonders if he's actually talking about the food or something else. ]
Is it? Then I should try it as well.
no subject
He licks his lips as he watches the other with a sharp eye. He can tell that what he did affected her. There was something thrilling about it all suddenly. How exciting.] It is. If this is how Liyue cuisine is, we really been missing out.
[He raises his cup of tea to his lips, his gaze still on Clorinde.] Then again the familiarity of Fontaine cuisine can never be beat. I'm much too fond of it. [Is he talking about food???]
