[ y'know, he'd been like. trying to go to sleep at a normal hour, right? he was actually tired at 11, which both made him feel older than his twenty-something years, and was also blessedly welcome because hey, sleep! sleep!!!
so there he is, tucked into the bed that he's been assigned in the Duke's former quarters, half-asleep with the gentle snores of Fat Shiro mochee'ing his sweet New Years Dreams--
and then the door slams open. Ghilley has a knife in hand, pointed at the door and ready to throw and then that's
that's Wriothesley
he relaxes a little, bewildered and eepy crusted and blinking in the light. ]
It doesn't usually happen for me, so uh. Kinda funny it's the one time you choose to do... whatever this is.
[ he blinks at the box, then at the Wriothesley, then at the box. ]
Wassat? [ he'll slowly set down the knife to touch the box. he's still blinking very hard. there are sleep-tears in his eyes and he could just lay down. just a little lay down.
why is the Duke so large when he's looming and smiling like that??

Under his arm is a box of different types of holly, pine wreaths, and snowflake ornaments. ]
...Sleeping early? We have work to do.

Date: 2025-11-09 03:29 am (UTC)Ah, I didn't expect you to be sleeping so early, is all. Usually I hear you up and around at 3am, even in the Cafeteria...
...did you party a little too hard last night?
[ this is all so conversational
as he just
puts the box next to the bed. ]
Oh, I bought you something too. I figured you'd like it.
