[ scared to find out what happens if they all do leave
good thing there are more pressing matters to focus on right now! like their food. damn. maybe they really will have to leave. that's wriothesley's sign to actually get up off the bed, a frown on his face. ]
I wouldn't really consider chocolates and champagne real food but....looks like it.
[ though maybe there's something hidden in a desk/table drawer somewhere....? time to hunt. conveniently, while he is hunting, a nice tattoo on his back between his shoulder blades starts glowing. it says MURDER. ]
[Wow, okay. That is some word to have shining on your back, buddy. MURDER? After he has been murdered?! It's fine. Both brows rise, quick, and then lower again, quick.
He does not get up to retreat out; he doesn't even budge really.]
What is it that you do, Wriothesley? Back home, I mean. [Maybe this is a bit forward even though Wriothesley spent so long asking him questions.] If you would rather gossip about Aventurine instead, I don't mind.
[ completely unaware that he just has an extremely damning word glowing through his shirt: ]
Management. [ said casually as he opens a drawer to find....well, probably lube but we'll never know since he closes it right away, frowning. ] I run a production facility back home. It's a lot of accounting, mostly.
[Imagine I put them back in the hotel again to match the other Monday thread before this (no).
They are in Blair's because Essek has held Wriothesley to a toe ring. He is browsing through things while Frumpkin repeatedly smacks low hanging jewelry fruit.]
A little, I should think. You are tall and not so delicate, so something dainty would look bizarre on you, I believe.
Here.
[He picks up two to show Wriothesley: one that is burnished silver, a bit wider than Essek's own; one that is black, also a bit wider. They are plain, no flashy designs, but still charming.]
w1 monday
anyway. aventurine is gone and they are both on the bed. cool. wriothesley will finally sit back up though. ]
The bed really is very comfortable. You should take a nap while you can. I can find something else to do in the meantime.
[ he'll mourn the bed but essek is clearly suffering more here. ]
no subject
Essek sighs gently and turns just enough to glance back. Wriothesley is so lucky he is such an agreeable man.]
It's fine. You can rest. I will just... lie on this side if I need to do so.
[They can literally leave anytime. Maybe. WAIT.]
Did he take the only food we had...?

They are in Blair's because Essek has held Wriothesley to a toe ring. He is browsing through things while Frumpkin repeatedly smacks low hanging jewelry fruit.]
Come to find some of your own?
no subject
while frumpkin paws at the low hanging jewelry fruit, wriothesley has his eyes on the goods higher up. ]
I did say I would, didn't I? I'm a man of my word.
[ except there are so many toe rings he does not know where to start. please help. ]
no subject
Essek turns his head away in a polite effort not to laugh. Ok. He looks back again.]
You will need something a bit thicker. It will fit your aesthetic better.
[Let's look at the thick boys.]
no subject
but wriothesley is not a coward like me, and is happy to follow essek's lead ]
My aesthetic? [ his turn to sound amused. ] Have you gotten a clear vision of my style already?
no subject
Here.
[He picks up two to show Wriothesley: one that is burnished silver, a bit wider than Essek's own; one that is black, also a bit wider. They are plain, no flashy designs, but still charming.]
What do you think of these?

Hello, Wriothesley, thank you for being here, too. Essek hands Wriothesley a little cup.]
Corn latte?
[ENJOY. Frumpkin can be seen behind him and to the side, half-buried in a barrel of shucked corn kernels...]
no subject
Depends. Does it have clown milk in it?
[ but he takes the cup anyway. ]
no subject
[He has not had a taste. He has immediately given it to Wriothesley.]
I must preemptively apologize for this week coming.
no subject
I'm not usually one to judge, but that's too many different kinds of milk.
[ not that it stops him from lifting the latte cup to his lips, though he pauses at that oh-so-ominous pronouncement. ]
Oh? What for?
no subject
[Essek will agree with Wriothesley on that. His brows furrow.]
Well, I'm not sure if you have experienced it yet today, and I'm not sure if you experienced it wherever you had your last, um, escapade, but -
[And that is all he gets out. Wriothesley is hit very suddenly out of the blue by a memory.
Wriothesley is a familiar indigo-skinned man standing with another man just inside of a room within a larger, magically made sort of "house."]

anyway i'm not a coward ]
Busy?
no subject
A part of him wants to be a smartass, but he is trying to be a nicer man now.]
No. What can I do for you, Mr. Wriothesley?
no subject
I believe we have a conversation to finish. Unless you'd like to do the running away this time.
no subject
I believe you are the only one who has run away. I'll pretend it's strategic.
Where would you like to meet?
no subject
Simulanka. Ten minutes.
