[ The tea is good enough. She sips it again and everything as he moves into his next question.
The Knave lowers her mug, wrist settling comfortably on her thigh. She smiles at the provocation — that's more like it. ]
I don't believe the question warrants asking. The results speak for themselves.
[ In the end, what more could she have asked for from that trio's little excursion into the Fortress of Meropide? They uncovered valuable information — granted, with assistance from the Traveler. But Wriothesley's question is more loaded than his easygoing demeanor would suggest. ]
What is the true nature of your complaint, Wriothesley?
[ There are a couple things she can think of... but she'd like to hear what's bothering him most. ]
[ Every day I lament being too stupid to play someone who's actually smart.
But hey, why try to be smart when I can just strip my bracket text of all meaningful meta instead?

Behind the rim of his mug is a small smile, though it morphs into a dramatic sigh once he sets down his tea. ]
Perhaps I'm just hurt that you didn't come see me for yourself. I realize prison wardens don't usually earn favorable reviews from their inmates but surely my company isn't that terrible.
[ Then again, she could flat out say his company is terrible and he wouldn't bat an eyelash. ]
[ Bracket text is just a construct? And what could fit a Genshin character thread more than boatloads of pure dialogue with only pepperings of stock animation for flavor. ]
I regret that I didn't have the privilege. And not for lack of trying, I assure you. Believe it or not, I appealed directly to the Hydro Archon herself in an attempt to tour your facilities.
[ Purely aboveboard, that's The Knave. She loves the law and also civility. She touches a curled finger to her chin. ]
I'd even begun to think that you might be a bit... shy. Hardly a glimpse of you in The Steambird in all your years of management. Freminet is much the same way, so of course I understand and respect such introversion.
