꧁【 The Ninth Harbinger 】꧂ 『 Pantalone 』

Warm teas with honey can help. A little... Although medicine is much better. [Narrowing his eyes] Name's Daneia. And you?

Nice to meet you, Pantalone... [ He raised an eyebrow, and jokingly looked at his hands. ] I don't see them tied up. Heh. Tsk. Where's the kitchen in this big place?

[At the word "worker", Daneia turned around to face him again.] I'm not a worker, but a visitor... And visitors add their unique flavours to what they make. Especially when we're also "survivors". Office or kitchen... let's go for that tea if you want.

🧍...

// This cutiepie (me) is ready to deliver the starters she promised

// starters made. Replies tomorrow!

Relaxing the hold on his dagger... He could lie. Maybe. "Apologies..."

Daneia kept his posture relaxed, hiding the tension. A slight smirk played at his lips as he met the Iudex' gaze. He didn't know him... Perfect. "Name’s Daneia. Just another shadow passing through Fontaine’s bright halls."

Daneia’s breath hitched, fingers tightening just enough on his dagger to remind himself to stay calm. "Wriothesley," he said slowly, forcing a bitter chuckle. "I assure you I'm not looking to be caught again. Everything's in order."

"You wouldn't want to know... Let's say my career involves sneaking around, yes."

Was she? Daneia had her same age, she looked absolutely similar... "Excused. H-hey, by any chance... were you raised in the House of Hearth? You're familiar to someone I knew when I was little."

Straight to the point. "I'm a thief. But you caught me before I took anything..."

"I was raised at that place too... Although I *managed* to escape." A pause. "Same age as Clervie, too. I'm Daneia."

I'm not friends with the law... I'm, however, a good friend of missing goods.

Daneia’s smirk flickered, but he held Neuvillette’s gaze without flinching. "Curiosity," he said smoothly, "perhaps an inquiry about a certain matter. But today? Not appropiate to ask... I doubt you're working right now."

"Maybe I just don’t like being reminded of old debts..." He said low, eyes locked on Wriothesley’s. "No, Duke. Tonight I'm walking on perfectly innocent business. And even if not?" He can't resist the urge to tease. "I'm always one step ahead."

Hope the same to you... [Just waiting until he falls asleep to continue his thievery]

I remember Crucabena's cruelty enough well. That... was not a nice place. [Shakes head]
