━━   ❝   𝐀𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲.   ❞  Sometimes it surprises him just how easy it was becoming to escape the manor these days, or maybe it’s the fact that Saint simply refused to try anymore considering whatever safety precaution he could take, it would only be a matter of time before Lupin bypasses it completely with his rather meticulous planning. 

Though disguised as to not draw too much attention given their identities, what they could be doing was still left up in the air. “Maybe it would have been wiser t have a game plan once we arrived in the city..oh well, this makes the day just a bit more adventurous. So Mon Coeur, what shall we do? Perhaps you’d be inclined to watch a movie with me??” Another horror movie probably but he simply enjoyed the time spent with her, nothing else mattered.

✧ ━━ Romance Headcanons.

Name: Arsene Lupin

Nickname: Lupin, Thief, Crook, Dashing

Gender: male

Romantic orientation: Heterosexual

Preferred pet names: There aren't many things that he'd prefer because it's all about the names THEY chose for him and that alone means significantly enough for him, but for the sake of this question he wouldn't mind being called things like: mon trésor , mon chéri , mon diable. Along with the common things like 'honey, dearest and even baby.

Relationship status: That's definitely a verse dependent thing answer, but again for the sake of this post I do have Lupin shipped with two muses. (though at one time it used to be four but that was a few years back.)

There's @more-than-a-princess Sonia, I think as mutuals we ship the hell out of 'em but as of right now they're in that 'will they/won't they' limbo because Sonia herself is wondering if Lupin's feelings are genuine when IN HER defense the world has been nothing but a big stage for Lupin but he does really end up falling for her but knows she has A HELL of a responsibility towards the country he loves. Honestly if it were up to him he'd definitely just kidnap her if she allows him to.

And it's @maljefe Loni, who is this tough girl on the outside but Lupin saw a little glimpse the softy she could be and there was also that little drabble of them exploring an extremely haunted mansion and she was soo clingy.

Opinion on true love: Lupin is a romantic, so his opinion on true love is positive. It's something that exists but there's also the reality of knowing that it's not there for EVERYONE either.

Opinion on love at first sight: He believes it's infatuation rather than 'love' itself. Love..even TRUE love takes time and effort and it's not something people can grasp on their first meeting.

How ‘romantic’ are they?: DO NOT TRUST LUPIN! At first anyway, He's a man that wears so many masks, HELL if you meet him on the streets he would not even give you his real name. Flirting is a means of indulgence and a tactic for manipulation BUT that said he DOES end up catching feelings, genuine feelings for a potential lover, it's just his 'exciting' life that keeps him from truly committing to what COULD be. It's probably why he flirts as he believes a harmless fling would not amount to anything.

NOTE: His flirting goes as far as hand holding and deep gazes. You'd break him if you gave him bedroom eyes.

Ideal physical traits: He's not exactly the pickiest. You could be physically fit or even a little on the chubby side and he'd love you regardless. That's how much of a romantic he is.

Ideal personality traits: Kindness, Selflessness, moderate intelligence (but huge plus if you're a genius), outgoing personality, a little of a rebellious soul.

Unattractive physical traits: No preference, you could even be missing a limb.

Unattractive personality traits: Greedy, selfish, murderous, the type to abuse their power to oppress the meek, the type who steal for their selfish desires.

Ideal date: Depends on the time frame. For a more historic-era Lupin the best places for him would be a garden or even a theater because he really does love art. Modern days the movie or a restaurant where he could spend time with his beloved.

Do they have a type?: Adventurous, strong woman with a touch of darkness in them.

Average relationship length: He's a locked-in for life type of person but I'd imagine given his life as a thief and often travels between paris and england I'd say he might probably be in a relationship for a month or two.

Preferred non-sexual intimacy: He'll put his hat on his lover's head and then proceed to kiss them and from there it's a matter of just sitting on a bench to just enjoy the stars in the sky, maybe even dance for a little while.

Opinion of public affection: He's a gentleman, whilst he would kiss his lover on the hand, hold her and even cuddle he still would refrain from passionate kisses in public as he believes that's something for them to enjoy in their moments of privacy. But there are exceptions to this rule of course like being overjoyed or the pain of separation and they can't help but kiss. Things like that.

Past relationships?: I mean canonically speaking I'd say Josephine Balsamo.

━━   ❝   𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭.   ❞  Lupin spoke in shock, to think he would stumble upon the path of a local celebrity right here in fontaine. “Mademoiselle, to say it’s an honor would be an understatement.” The young man spoke with a smile on his face as he stood before her, giving her a little bow before removing the fedora from his head. “The talented Zola in the flesh, I must say that your promotional posters do you no justice for you are far more beautiful in person..OH, how rude of me to ramble on like that, my name is Maurice Delacroix and the pleasure is all mine.” Lupin bows courteously.

EAT IT?! Whilst..it COULD still be edible if one carve out the burnt parts..but he couldn’t put his stomach through all of that. Hmmm, with a calm mind he was able to remember his skills as a thief, as long as her back was turned for at least FIVE seconds then he could make the entire thing disappear..bones and all. So of course Lupin’s face remained suave as he wrapped an arm around her.

━━   ❝   𝐌𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐞𝐮𝐫.   ❞  His eyes then made visual contact with her own. “If I’m to eat all of then I’d at least need a drink, would you hurry onto the kitchen an grab me some water? I’d need to wash it down at the very least.”

And that confirms it, knowing how they operated, and how they think. It suggest that she knew her pursuers or more specifically the one that employed them..which is proven further when the one pulling the strings was referred to as ‘she’ so incredibly casual. But it confused him and he wonders what is this obsession with bringing her back to her family?   ❝   𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐝?   ❞  That was the gentleman’s first assumption..or guess rather. 

Though if THAT were the reason he could not be surprised, look at her. Soft skin, gorgeous eyes and a voice one could hear in a song she’d be considered the perfect catch. The only other educated guess he could make was that her parents were incredibly tenacious and wanted to confine her. Either way it wasn’t any of his business unless she wanted to share.

“Mademoiselle, if you’d wish to stay in Fontaine a bit longer under the radar then I suggest you find my associate. He owns a rather humble flower shop but, He often takes in those that need a bed, not to mention you wouldn’t be kept underground as you are here.” There was a sheepish tone he took now before a light chuckle left him. 

“No need to apologize, I supposed being in the presence of a man that has no face makes confessing so much easier. Know that your woes will never leave my lips, I give you my word as a gentleman.”

Upon the gentleman's question, Miran pondered for a quick time before she shook her head gently, "No, they would not go after her. I don't think that... the person they work for would want them to hurt a mere child.".

Her gaze traveled away from the person, just simply to not have to look at them as she said so. Of course there was some kind of fear lingering within her still. Miran hugged herself, as she observed. Her light laughter from earlier had long died out and was exchanged with displease, which she showed by pressing her lips into a thin line of frustration.

"So it's just me they are after. However, it will only last as long until she gets bored and looks for a new victim to bother. That's just her style.", she started to mutter to herself. Well, she after all said more than she actually intended to, which was commented by herself with a voiceless sigh, "Or she will hound me with her guards until she's able to ship me back to my family.". Miran clicked with her tongue, "Some people seriously have too much money and too little to do.".

She then turned to the thief again, "Pardon, that's none of your problems of course. I guess... I just had to get some steam off. It's an unusual situation to be in after all. To me at least. I'm sure as thief you had to deal with such things more often?".

A horn was heard honking from outside of her house, once she stepped out she would spot Maurice within a rather luxurious vehicle..something that one DEFINITELY couldn’t afford on his budget as a flower shop owner, however should she ask the question of how he managed to acquire the vehicle he would simply answer with the phrase ‘something borrowed’. Once the door open he’d see her a smile would creep up rather quickly on his face. Oh she was rather enchanting. ❝  𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐫?  ❞

━━   ' 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 '  He thought at the back of his mind as he listened to her go on about which character she likes above everyone else in the cast. Han Solo, not a gentleman but that rogue-like charm was probably something that the two of them exude, so in his mind Lupin began to wonder if Sonia had that very same admiration towards him. Well granted she’s never been around him within situations where he’s make a wise crack here and there..but still his mind could not help but wonder on that possibility.

Hmm, but if she does have that kind of admiration towards him would he be able to successfully steal her heart? Lupin has confidence when stealing anything but Sonia’s affection might prove to be his hardest heist yet. She was such a complex woman and in all honesty he had never expected to have developed these lingering feelings for her as he expected the job to be just that 𝚊 𝚓𝚘𝚋. However, circumstances turned this job into an opportunity.

𝐀𝐧 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 to know someone, to make another friend, to forge a bond that would surely survive anything. Oh, if only Sonia knew the smile Lupin wore on his face right now whilst listening to her was a smile of adoration and not just 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘦. Considering this journey of theirs was nearing its end perhaps she will never know exactly how he feels, with this stand they’re about to make it will surely announce to the world that she’s alive and that they plan on fighting back.

At the very least she will be able to go back home, she is completely duty-bound to serving her country and whilst he admired that resolve he still wished she made a selfish desire and just…no, that was unbecoming of a gentleman. Who was Lupin to suggest WHAT she should want, what life she should strive for? He was nobody of consequence, so the best thing he thought he could do for her was simply support her behind the scenes. AGH, he’s been in his head for far too long that Sonia spoke about heading into the kitchen. “Bon, I’ll acquire the little trinkets needed to set the heist together.” Another three days of meticulous planning, the one and only time Lupin was not around the manor greeting everyone, ensuring everyone’s in high spirits.

There were only two certainties in life, Sonia had learned from her father. Death, and that the Novosonian people would always pay taxes in order to keep the country funded and running. The former she was determined to have happen on her own terms. "The only way one can feel safe against a threatening foe is to extinguish them permanently," She replied. For as peaceful as her country was, its borders having never been breached in over five centuries, it was not without its hardships. "Rest assured that as soon as the terrorists are caught, they will suffer the consequences."

Probably not fitting for her own little Lego character: Sally was a dreamer, someone who imagined a more fruitful and happier life than the one she was created into, and who was wooed by someone who dared to try something different than the status quo. Sonia understood that well, but she also had an affinity for those who wouldn't back down from a challenge, or from others who dared to oppress them. "Perhaps it is obvious, but I liked Princess Leia best," She interjected as Lupin spoke of his fondness for Luke. "She was a diplomat, fighting for her planet even in the most dire of circumstances. And when she lost everything, she still supported the resistance in any way she could. She did not need a planet to be a leader, just a vision for a better future and the strength of her own convictions." And sass. Even as a young princess, Sonia had been enamored of how Leia could snap back against those who wished to subdue her. Disney Princess she wasn't, no matter what the licensing agreements entailed.

Sonia smirked then, bringing her teacup to her lips for the last few sips of her tea. It was her snack between lunch and dinner: a habit she did not prescribe to at home but since arriving in Japan and coordinating with other schedules more pressing than her own, she'd learned to embrace it. "Still, while Luke's journey of understanding the importance of family and his own inner strength are compelling, I must confess I prefer Han Solo to Luke Skywalker," She admitted. Anyone with an inclination towards men, it seemed, preferred Han to Luke in the original films. Even her cousin Liam had vastly preferred Han Solo, insisting Like was 'whiny' and 'boring' through most of the original trilogy. Something they had in common: their taste in men. "He begins his journey in Star Wars cynical and alone, using humor and scraping by to get through life, only relying upon a single friend. After meeting Luke and his friends, he understands the importance of being part of a group and wanting to aid the greater good as opposed to only his self-interest."

She paused, looking down into her empty cup with a small smile. "There is something beautiful about that, how his character changes," She continued quietly, as if she were embarrassed to admit her preferences in fictional men. For once. "How he wishes to be part of something bigger than himself, that he wishes to belong in a family. Of course, it also helps that his witty retorts and confidence make him the more devastatingly handsome option in the Star Wars universe." She looked up at him then, grinning before setting the teacup and saucer back down on the tray it had been brought in on. Sonia soon added her book to the assortment. He'd asked about the sort of person who could marry a princess. Perhaps it was a little fun, and a little telling, to remind him that legendary smuggler and rogue Han Solo had done precisely that.

"I should return this to the kitchen and not bother you any longer as you create the plans for this heist," She remarked, getting to her feet. "I know I should ask you to err on the side of caution where my safety is concerned, but I do wonder where the fun is in that. Come, Sisi: you do not want to bother Mr. Lupin while he is working. As there are no more biscuits left." The dog seemed to understand Sonia's reasoning perfectly, getting up from where he'd been lying at two pairs of feet. Besides: if Lupin was more inclined to work than bestow belly scratches, Sisi was better off in Sonia's company. She was unable to resist his pleading eyes and soft paws. "I am not sure what I am looking forward to more: a party, for the first time after what feels like ages, or breaking into my own condo for an appropriate outfit."
