Roi de sa Chambre, you make it sound as if being extrovert it is a terrible crime! Friendship is such a beautiful thing. Spending time together is wonderful too.
Shall I come knock on your door and invite you for a pleasant walk through the forest?
[The digital scream is echoed by a very real, very shrill one from Idia’s room. He is now struggling to move his bed against the door with the intent to block it.]
YOU STAY AWAY, YOU MENACE! VIL-SHI, COME GET YOUR HUNTING DOG!
[Rook doesn't go for the door. Actually, it takes a while before he appears. After all, sneaking into a room through a window isn't the most easy thing to do.]
Bonjour! [He lands silently onto his feet before he carefully closes the window behind him.] Ah~ Worry not, mon Roi du Poison is a busy man. Now where should we go? Is there anything you wish to see?
Ah~ I am here because I promised to accompany you for a walk outside! And I would not dare to break such a promise.
[Well, sort of.]
The soleil is bright today, it will lighten your spirits for sure! [Then he gestures at the window.] Should we take te window.... [Then he points at the door.] ...or the door?
[ Time is a funny concept; especially here, especially recently. How was he to quantify the length of time he's spent here? The longer he spent here, the more understanding he had for why his liege may have forgotten altogether how long he'd spent here... ]
It has been longer than a few days, shorter than a year, and certainly longer than one week.
[ Does that explain it, Rook? Or shall he continue trying to think it through? ]
It seems you've found yourself over at Vil Schoenheit's. Have you been adjusting alright to this place, then?
Vil has aged at least one year or longer. While his beauty is still unparalleled and radiant, he also looks more mature.
[That and there were other things he noticed as well. Perhaps he has been looking more tired. And his hair grew a bit longer.]
Your curiosity is refreshing, Monsieur Curiosite. My devotion to beauty knows no bounds indeed. Your response makes me wonder if it is another answer you wish to receive.
It is. There is a reason that it is considered to be a Romance language... I might try it the next time I find myself in the company of a lovely and charming woman.
[ He knows perfectly well that's not why it's defined as a Romance language, but that's not the point here. He's rolling with this. ]
"Vous êtes célibataire? Mais comment est-ce possible?" What do you think?
Oui! I am sure you are able to charm her, monsieur!
[Rook is not the one you should come to for dating advice, but hey, he'll roll with it as well!]
Ah, that is magnifique! Also mention that she is beautiful, that she makes your heart quiver with desire! L'amour is, of course, the most beautiful thing of all!
Life is a flower of which love is the honey! I should tell a woman of the love that bloomed upon my heart upon seeing them and how I have fallen for their charm. Tu es très belle.
[ That'd just make them think he's creepy and he knows it... It's fine, it's all just for fun anyway. ]
Have you ever been in love? Do you believe that two wandering souls found love on here yet?
[Oh no, not creepy at all! Because Rook here is totally serious about everything.]
Your lines read like poetry! I am sure the woman you desire will be taken away by such beaute~
[He's absolutely, 100% really serious.]
I am always in love, monsieur. I fall for every beautiful thing I encounter. The smile upon the face of a child, a flower blossoming, the sight of the stars shining brightly, being in the company of my friends, the thrill of the hunt.
How does one summon a servant? [Don't you just hire them?] And why does the servant come in tres revealing outfits? I do hope this is only for the summer, non?
Mon Roi du Poison, doesn't it excite you!? For your beauty to be challenged like that. I am sure you will exceed at this beyond my wildest dreams! Forminable!
Personally I'd rather avoid having pictures taken of me without my consent, but it's really not so different from back home. I'm used to being prepared.
It’s not my place to tell his story, especially not here, but he’s gone through quite a bit in his life. He can be jaded and anxious.
But he’s started to thrive here since a lot of pressure from home has been lifted from his shoulders. He’s quite adaptable and resilient so long as he’s not alone.
Non, non. It makes you sound more curious than anything else. And curiosity is such a beautiful thing! The drive to discover new things, to value the importance of the shape of another man's body.
Perhaps it would be more troublesome if I were a bit plump and round, non?
[Is this a call out? Cater feels totally called out right now.]
Troublesome? No way! You'd still be you, and that's what's most important. Like, sure I'm particularly attracted to certain things but what's inside is still what counts the most!
That is the most important thing of all, oui! To always be able to see the beauty in everyone at every time! Your response brightens my day! I will treasure it!
[Happy Holidays, Rook! Everyone in the house is getting something, and the hunter is no exception. At some point during the day, Cater will present him with a bracelet that looks like it was likely hand-crafted by the local metalworkers. It's not much, being that a lot has been going on lately in Somnius, but he still hopes it'll be an appreciated gesture.]
Belated gift delivery in return (also that bracelet is wonderfully Rook coded)
[Rook is absolutely over the moon when receiving that bracelet, and worry not, he has not forgotten you. In the evening, when Cater goes to bed, he will find a gift on his pillow. It is a painting of him, very detailed and god knows when Rook has being spying on him to make it.
There's a card as well saying:]
Joyeux noël, Cater!
Edited (html fail, what else) 2025-01-18 12:53 (UTC)
[The morning of 12/25 Rook will find a small package of brown paper and string. Within is a collection of fine and absolutely lovely silverware. However none of it is from the same set. The small letter included is written in fine elegant (and incredibly outdated) script:]
Well wishes for the holidays. May your hunts be successful. M.D.
[For a brief moment Rook has no idea who has blessed him with such a wonderful gift but then he notices it smells a bit like...well...lizard...or more like Malleus.]

Sleepr - Lilia - un: beaute
[He's not going to address the trouble, but he somewhat failed getting out of trouble...]
How long have you been here?
hewwo! no worries on late replies btw! im constantly slow lmfao
It has been longer than a few days, shorter than a year, and certainly longer than one week.
[ Does that explain it, Rook? Or shall he continue trying to think it through? ]
It seems you've found yourself over at Vil Schoenheit's. Have you been adjusting alright to this place, then?
Thank u friend!
So it is either multiple weeks or some months, non? When you arrived, was Vil already here?
[Vil actually aged...]
Oui! I am a mere servant of beauty, I will follow wherever it takes me.
no subject
[ Well, maybe Vil could answer how long Lilia had been here? If he pays that much attention. ]
Even across worlds, hm? Your loyalty knows no bounds, then? Not even a little?
no subject
[That and there were other things he noticed as well. Perhaps he has been looking more tired. And his hair grew a bit longer.]

no subject
Your name made me think of birds
So I drew birds
And thought you should see
I am glad your heart is warm
I think
It’s good for hearts to be warm right?
Please take care if your heart
no subject
Of course a heart is warm, especially when it is filled with l'amour. Hearts should always be warm in general. That is where the blood goes.
[And there is something rather satisfying about gutting an animal and holding its warm heart. That, and something with jugulars.]
My heart is fine, monsieur. Especially after receiving this wonderful gift!
no subject
I do not have my heart.
So I did not know it would be warm.
My heart does not have blood though.
It is a gnosis.
So it has
More gnosis on the inside I think.
I do not know
I have not seen it.
I am glad your heart is warm and good.
Please keep it safe.
And keep the blood on the inside.
Leaking is not good.
no subject
Monsieur! A heart is a heart, whether it is an organ or a gnosis. It is always warm and full of l'amour!
[What is a gnosis? No blood? This requires some observing.]
Your words intrigue me. What is your name?
no subject
My Gnosis is full of elecro power
I think
I do not think anyone has opened a Gnosis
I am named Kanoa
no subject
The power of electicity? Is it a generator of some sort?
[Rook completely thinks of this guy here a robot of some sort. Another Monsieur Marionette.]
It is nice to meet you, Monsieur Kanoa, my name is Rook Hunt. We should meet up soon.
[So he can properly observe.]

Anyway, uh, huh... You know, that is a good question... Could we summon a servant here?
.... BB has to do some research!
no subject
So they beg you for summer outfits outside summer if they do not get summoned with a summer outfit?
Oui, oui, it would be interesting to see! Perhaps the servant will be wearing one of those summer outfits, non? Can servants summon servants?
no subject
Only certain servants can, BB is one of those few exceptions who could hehe...

I see Lyney made a remarkable first impression on you. He's doing well, as I'm sure you've seen yourself.
Or are you just fishing for info about my relationship for fun?
no subject
Oui, he is as bright as the sun itself. Yet, at times, small dark clouds seem eager to take that radiance away.
no subject
But he’s started to thrive here since a lot of pressure from home has been lifted from his shoulders. He’s quite adaptable and resilient so long as he’s not alone.

Do tell him he should focus his gaze upon the beauty that surrounds him. Even when alone, there is so much left to see and discover, non?

Oh? You allow me deux questions? [He smiles the sunniest, brightest smile there is.] You are very generous.
[He takes a small breath of air.]
Have you been here for long?
[If so, why hasn't he noticed her? She's just as fascinating as Leona is.]
no subject
She's debating what exactly to say to that, or to just walk off. ]
... Long enough.
[ And she turns, ready to head off if he's not going to follow. ]
