𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐄 𝐀𝐃𝐌𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐁𝐑𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐄𝐋. She appears so confident and sure of herself. Every room she enters, she commands attention. Whether that is on purpose or simply part of her personality, Corinne isn't quite sure; but she's envious nonetheless. She, herself, isn't like that at all — she'd be lucky not to fade into the background entirely; but it'd also be a lie to say it wasn't a somewhat self-inflicted kind of loneliness.
She listens with rapt attention as Brughel relays the latest gossip. Corinne isn't usually one for it, but Madame Poisson has a particular way of presenting things that make it just enticing enough to be curious. Which makes sense, Corinne supposed. Brughel was a reporter. It was her job to dig up new stories.
❝ No, I hadn't heard! I hope no one's gotten hurt… ❞ Corinne's gaze flits to the guards again, and Brughel's right. They do look a bit confused. If the culprit really had run by, shouldn't the guards be more equipped to handle it? It doesn't exactly put Corinne at ease about her safety when out and about.
Her thoughts don't linger there long, though; swept up into Brughel's impassioned concern. ❝ Oh, yes, of course — everything is fine! You needn't worry about that. ❞ If Corinne were honest, thieves might be a welcome reprieve from the ghosts she faces on a daily basis. Some scars never really go away. They just carve into you, making a home in your rib cage when you thought you were safe.
❝ With your knack for sleuthing, I wouldn't be surprised if you caught the culprit before they did! Ah — ❞ Corinne's voice drops to a whisper, almost guilty as she adds, ❝... But don't tell them I said that. ❞
In all of years of doing business, he had developed a knack for getting into character beyond just reciting lines. Learning how to apply makeup, style wigs && set them on his head, && finding clothing was also a bit easier as he went for what fit his body well. Not just taking up the appearance of a proper && prim woman, but anyone he put his mind to, whatever the job called for. What kind of a Fool would he be if he couldn't take the stage, no matter the role ?
Despite his height, he felt that heels with a couple of inches completed the look of the reporter persona donned only when extracting scoops from those loose-lipped && gullible around the fortified city. Truly, too easy to look the slightest bit official. Bat mascara coated eyelashes, theatrically elongating hair that complement the green that peer through them. Con artist should pat himself on the back.
Quizzically, he cants his head. Sampo stepping into the headspace of Brughel Poisson. A name that admittedly was a last minute pick, but worked well enough for the pockets of time he brought her to life.
Crimson-stained lips purse, he assesses the scene once more before his attention rests back upon Corinne. Practiced smile, he forces up a giddy laugh. Buzzing excitement is what will be the driving force of this reporter today ! ❝ Oh, didn't you hear ? ❞ Conspiratorially, he lowers his voice, careful not to drop his falsetto. Whispers as if the something he's about to share was meant to be guarded. A trade secret kept locked away from the public eye.
❝ There's been a series of break-ins. No clear motive && nothing that ties them together other than the fact that they've all happened in the past couple of days. ❞ Manicured nail taps chin, a soft hum filling the brief silence that falls between as Sampo decides what else he could say to someone that is Brughel's friend, it's the least that he could do. ❝ Supposedly someone called the guards after seeing the suspect run past but... ❞ A shrug of padded shoulders. ❝ They look pretty lost to me. ❞
But here is where the actor must work on the fly ! What would a dear friend do upon bring up such ghastly news ? Gloved hands clasp over Corinne's, eyebrows arched in concern. ❝ You && your family... Are things alright ? No troubles with burglars or petty thieves ? ❞
