About: Harpastum Toss!

Let's here your thoughts, Caelus! || No Longer Accepting.

❛ Never knew how fun something as simple as tossing some balls at targets could be. Granted, those balls.. ya know... explode. Kind of adds to the enjoyment of it, in my opinion. ❜

❛ I wonder if Sedene ever found out who the rascal was that sabotaged our game by chucking their balls onto our field.. I can't imagine it was intentional- or I hope it wasn't.

Either way- I had fun. I hope they enjoyed the game as well! If I recall, Sedene is some sort of.. law enforcer? So I imagine that they don't get time off frequently. ❜

21. What kind of relationships do they tend to intentionally seek out versus actually cultivate? What kind of social contact do they prefer, and why?

Character Dev Questions | no longer accepting

One of Wriothesley's regrets is that he can't trust other people, which naturally impacts his ability to develop relationships. He understands this about himself well enough that he can articulate it in his voice lines, so I believe that he's pretty conscious of it. That is to say, his relationships are almost entirely professional and he prefers to keep them that way. There is value in networking, and you can see by the number of characters who know of him that he's prolific with his connections and reputation, but he views himself as a businessman first and foremost. Who you know can make all the difference in securing funds for a new project, or hiring some extra protection to deal with a rowdy gang of inmates, or even opening up unique avenues to limited resources, so he likes to keep a wide array of acquaintances. He isn't picky about what kinds of people he throws his lot in with though. Some wayward pickpocket could be just as useful to him one day as someone rich and socially powerful. Wriothesley is nothing if not resourceful.

While Wriothesley is amicable and easy to get along with, I do think there's a callousness to his use of relationships. In Navia's voice line about him, she says she's been told not to trust anything he says. Wriothesley implies that he has no qualms with cheating. And in in his character quest, he manipulates the Traveler to help him oust Dougier and his schemes. The game presents this trait in a, if not entirely positive, lighthearted way, but that's because the playable characters in Genshin are very rarely allowed to be anything but Good. Clorinde and Emilie's voice lines about him imply that there's likely shadier things afoot, so I do believe that Wriothesley toes the line of morality more often than not. Realistically, this is the only way someone would be able to gain power over a pseudo-meritocratic society of criminals and keep it.

Circling back to the question, I don't know if "cultivate" is really something Wriothesley does with relationships so much as "maintains." Sending gifts to business partners, for example, agreeing to favors, helping others out if it's within his power to do so, because he knows gestures like these go a long way in keeping yourself in someone else's good graces, even if you rarely speak. A few boxes of tea sent to a business partner on her daughter's birthday could become 500 tons of ore at a slashed rate. There is, however, no emotional investment in these relationships. As for social contact, Wriothesley as "the Duke" prefers very little. The mystery of his persona serves him quite well, so he avoids the spotlight and makes himself a limited commodity within the Fortress. The inmates there consider meeting with him to be on par with winning an audience with the king, after all. Without his title, although these situations are much more rare (and in fact he seems uncomfortable outside of the Fortress), he enjoys mundane pleasures. Picnicking with a friend. Enjoying the weather at a cafe. Talking over a pot of tea. It's these moments that one might find themselves likelier to pry a personal fact or two out of him, but he's still frustratingly difficult to get to know on a deeper level.

“Monsieur Neuvillette!” Sedene calls out as a greeting, knocking once on his office door. “Do you know what day it is?”

That is a rhetorical question, yes, as Sedene hopes that he does in fact remember that it is his birthday. If not, she will have to make sure that he remembers next year! 

“You’re going to be very busy today, yes, even if it doesn’t show on your calendar,” She walks up to his desk, papers in hand as always, though a few of them were of a far more lighthearted nature than usual. She places them in front of him, turning them to face him. In her somewhat unsteady handwriting, the first document is a specially signed coupon for one outing with yours truly. She had heard that human children enjoyed giving these to their parents, after all.

Unlike a human child, however, hers included an itinerary, with all the details already settled. “Happy birthday!”

"Ah. Is that so?"

In spite of the question he poses, it is clear from his smile that it is just as rhetorical as hers. Truthfully, it would not be all that unlikely for Neuvillette to indeed forget, or perhaps disregard would be the more appropriate word - the chance of this date actually being his birthday was minimal, and the only reason why he established it in the first place was social pressure and expectation. But as those around him gathered to celebrate it as though it were real - believing it to be real - a time came, eventually, when he grew to remember it on his own, without the need for reminders.

How much attachment he developed to it in a personal capacity is a matter he finds difficult to ascertain. No, it is not his birthday - but just how much does that, truthfully, matter?

Perhaps what matters the most on this day is not even how he feels, really. Perhaps what matters is the happiness it brings to those around him, because it is that exact happiness that is then reflected in his own heart like the surface of a serene lake, brightening his day, and turning this date into what it truly is.

That is what the true value of the gift Sedene presents to him is, as far as he is concerned.

He meets her expectant gaze with the warm smile of an appreciative parent as he looks up at her from the papers. "You've put a lot of thought and effort into it, haven't you? Alright, looks like I will leave the details in your hands. Lead the way, then."

[COSTUME RACK]

“Monsieur Aventurine! Fancy seeing you here.” Sedene greets, nodding at a familiar face as she approaches, balancing a large stack of discarded costumes in her arms. “Are you looking to take part in the festivities? Act?”

“Pardon-” She sets down the costumes to approach him more easily, waving now that her hands were free, “There’s a lot we’ve set up for guests, yes, and I hope you enjoy it! It’ll be good for you to relax, I think.”

She pulls out one of the old costumes from the stack, holding it up for him to see. “What do you think? Some of them are a little rushed, yes, but they just need the right person to bring it to life!”

OH, ANOTHER SURPRISINGLY FAMILIAR FACE, he thinks, glancing down after a moment of searching the empty air behind him. looks like teyvat really was a small world. since arriving in the city, he'd been interested to see just how many of the little creatures——ah, melusines, so they're called——roam around perfectly at home among the usual kinds of people. he's still not entirely sure what they are. . . some sort of human hybrid? something amphibious from the water? every planet had its share of mysteries.

"officer sedene, was it?" he pulls the name out of nowhere ; truth be told, until just a minute ago, he'd forgotten about it entirely. but a quick memory's served him in more ways than one over the years, and recalling details is just one of the tricks of the underdog's trade. after all, it's clear he'd made an impression.

"mmm. . ." he seems the consider the idea as she moves around, setting down a hefty bundle of costumes, then digging through them with enthusiasm, until he's made all the gestures of giving it fitting thought. "not exactly acting. unfortunate——i've never been much good at the stage. maybe it's because i prefer things more straightforward." a smile.

"but relaxing. now that sounds like a better idea." vocal lilt lifts into a pleasant warmth, and his eyes shimmer with grace and gratitude. "it looks like there's no shortage of things to do in fontaine. i'm looking forward to enjoying everything you've prepared."

"as for this costume. . ." the new consideration already speaks to his reluctance. a dress-up now and then? not unwarranted. but only on his own terms. he'd done enough to deserve that at least, hadn't he? anyway, fontaine was a stage for bigger actors than him, more suited for the maritime limelight. he'd be ungracious to take it from them.

after all, he's just a visitor.

"i'll consider it. but for now, i might know just the person to fit. you wouldn't happen to have heard of the astral express, would you. . . "

╰ ✧ ˖ @sedena asked:

[COSTUME RACK] “Miss Navia, Miss Navia!” The street was teeming with costumes for acting, or simply to wear on the street for the fun of it, and numerous stands and shops were opened for this just for the day! In them, an endless supply of human-sized dresses from centuries-past, and even from other countries- Sedene couldn't wear them, no, but even she wanted to see what the dresses looked like worn. “Do you have a moment?” Sedene tugs on the hem of one of her favorite dresses, that to her, was a beautiful array of colors, laces, and layers. “Can you wear this for a second? I want to see what it looks like on a human…”

"Hm? Oh, Miss Sedene! I believe I just might."

Navia comes to a halt just behind the Melusine, eager eyes wide as she anticipates the inquiry. They flit from costume to costume, overwhelmed by the sheer number of colors and patterns crammed together for display, and pause abruptly on the one Sedene has selected.

"Why, of course!" Voice bubbling with warm laughter, she ducks her head in a dutiful nod. "Allow me just a moment."

It's a quick enough process, what with her experience in elaborate dress on a regular day. Hanger plucked from the rack and curtain drawn within the nearest shop's row of dressing rooms, Navia makes relatively easy work of the dress and its many intricacies. With a hum at her reflection in the mirror, she decides she is ready.

"Alright, I'm done! Are you ready?"

For the dramatics ( of course ) she pauses a moment before throwing the curtain wide and stepping out for Sedene's inspection. A slow, thorough turn with arms half-raised so that she may display the attire in full.

"Well then, what do you think?"

About: Sedene!

Send me “About [NAME]” for my character’s thoughts on another character! - accepting!

"ah, miss sedene...? I couldn't exactly tell what she was when we met, but I do recall that her way of speaking struck me as particularly unique, and her stature was quite petite. it was thanks to her, miss navia, and miss march that I made it back home safely after ending up... wherever it was that we met one another," he pauses as though considering something, then continues. "hm... that truly was such a strange occurrence, you know. my companions thought I had been kidnapped... I still need to invite her and the other fine young ladies I encountered over for dinner sometime. it'd be a shame to not make good on the offer to do so together, and I'm sure the general and moze would appreciate meeting them, too."

About Sedene : temple of betrayal

"what is there to say about the little officer sedene? before finding lyney and myself with her in the temple of betrayal, I had only really seen in her passing around the court of fontaine. she possesses a... unique perspective in investigations, doubtlessly honed through her many years of experience working under the iudex. it was good she was there with us, I think... though I would be hard-pressed to say I'd like to meet her again by happenstance, considering all her eyes can see."

Precious moments outside of work are now spent celebrating others. Sedene has no concept of a birthday, no, but she has since learned working with humans that it is an important day. So when she learns that today is the Champion Duelist’s birthday, she scrambles to find a suitable gift.

Later, when Clorinde is greeted by the Melusine after her work hours are over, it is with a small box, wrapped in decorated paper of bright oranges and contrasting blues. Inside, a violet ribbon, only chosen after extensive questioning of its appearance from a hassled shopkeep.

“Happy birthday Clorinde!” Sedene holds out the box, then tilts her head. “Care to join me at Café Lutece? I hear that you are meant to get cake on your birthday, yes.”

Clorinde is nothing short of surprised when the small box is offered to her from Sedene's hands, and she offers the tiniest hint of a smile as she leans forward to gingerly take the gift from her paws. It takes no time at all to open the package, and her eyes widen in awe as the sheer thoughtfulness of it all filled her with a warmth she didn't often feel. It shimmered faintly in the sunlight, the smooth fabric gliding between her gloved fingers as she took it in. It was beautiful, elegant, yet somehow simple in its design-- a perfect blend of practicality and grace. Something she never would have bought for herself, but it suited her flawlessly... A wonderful substitute from the plain ribbon that normally kept her hair tied back. "Sedene, this is... Thank you. I can't imagine that this was cheap," Clorinde chuckles, hastily tucking her hat under an arm before lithe fingers quickly untied the ponytail resting at the nape of her neck. It takes nothing more than a few seconds for her to replace her old ribbon with the new, carefully tucking the black fabric into a pocket on the inside of her cape. "I couldn't have picked something better myself. As for the cake... Perhaps we could share one? There's no fun in having it all to myself." If the violet, shimmering silk is evident from the contrast of her hair during her next patrol... It's a testament to how she won't be removing it anytime soon, and that it's quickly become a favorite part of her normal uniform.
