#//oh shit do you not realize huffman is 99% on patrol and there are people hearing viktor being gay over huffman

[sir-huffman]

Someone puts one of Alice's gramaphone next to Huffman and put a disk in. It's a recording of everything Viktor just said about his feelings for him. You're welcome, Huffman.

Viktor’s Feelings on Huffman | @otverzhennyy should start digging his grave

He was patrolling Angel’s Share ( as usual ) that this strange occurrence happened. Usually there was light music in the background, the off tune voices of the bards singing softly in the background. Everything that was just background noise to Huffman on the day to day basis. But there was two things that could truly get his attention. One. His name being said. And Two. A voice of someone familiar to him.

And as soon as he registered both Viktor’s voice along with his name being directly said...it halted Huffman’s tracks in looking around for said Fatui only to find him no where...at all.

Of course, Huffman listened, trying to find where Viktor was...walking down across the stone path and into the alley ways as things were quickly becoming something that the entirety of Mondsadt SHOULDN’T HEAR because, well...it was becoming quite clear that this was a private moment of thoughts being broadcasted loud enough in the Market District ( specifically Angel’s Share on his patrol route ).

Lord Barbatos.

His eyes glanced over at everyone ( the jeweler and the barker ), and gave them a look to the both of them. And all of them had a momentary mutual understanding before dropping everything to scatter and search for the location of the voice.

The only GOOD thing that game out of this was that it was Huffman who was the one to find the little gramophone by the time Viktor’s voice was going off about wanting to break him and essentially make him his.

He took the stylus off of the tack, before picking up the disk and ( momentarily ) hesitated on breaking it on his knee.

Inevitably, he didn’t despite the deep desire to do so. The contraption was clearly something made by Alice as it had her craftsmanship on it as well as it being such a whimsical device that destroying the whole thing would insult her work. And Huffman didn’t want to have to deal with an upset Alice should she return and confront him about destroying apart of her device ( because somehow she knew everything ).

The only thing that Huffman truly hoped was that (1) Viktor was truly not within earshot of hearing himself talk about Huffman AND hearing it being broadcasted to everyone outside of Angel’s Share. (2) That only the regulars ( the jeweler and the barker ) were the actual only ones who had heard such things as well. And he knew them well enough that they’d keep their lips sealed. and (3) no one but the three of them actually heard this cursed recording because Huffman knew that both Hertha and Guy were barely within earshot of hearing the recording as well as well as any other patrons at the tavern.
