            "  how kind of you .  this is my first time here but i am not unfamiliar with the casino environment .  "  she sits down in a chair and glances around at the other patrons .

“⠀i'm glad you could make it.⠀”⠀  they beam lightly.⠀ “⠀why it's not much of a surprise,   i make sure the guests are settled in and comfortable before i begin hosting.⠀”

@knaviem 
            
            "  selente !  i didn't expect to run into you so quickly .  yes ,  this is my first time here .  "

@fontained 
            
            she hides a chuckle by facing away briefly but turns back to him .  "  do you really want to know my answer to that question ? "  she looks down at her feet and grins .  "  when i lived in fontaine i used to sneak into the opera all the time .  "

a mild scoff,    it's either he were offended or amused by the comment.   though it may imply on both. ⠀ “⠀do i look like the type to be stuck within my office all day?   that would certainly bore me to death.⠀”  ⠀a subtle shake to one's head.  ⠀“⠀tickets are unneeded when i'm part of the court.   surely i get a pass.⠀”

@fontained 
            
            "oh ? do you have some sort of tickets for a matinee ? i will say , i didn't expect to see you out of your office .  "  she hums and offers a playful wink his way . 

@labtechs 
            
            "  yeah that's it i'll leave you to your coffee now .  get your fix so you're not so sour . "  she smiles and leaves him to it to go back to her desk .

with a slight grumble,   klavdian eased scartches against upon head,   lightly ruffling his locks.  ⠀“⠀sure you aren't.   would that be all?   can i have my coffee now?⠀”

@labtechs 
            
            " nah ,  i wish it was that low .  "  sofia winks at him and examines it again .  "  huh ,  i guess i do .  i should have better penmanship but you know i wasn't always just an assistant .  "

“⠀this is not to fool me,   is it not?    just to make certain of course.    it's not that i don't trust your judgement,   i merely wish to take precautions.   i still find it hard to believe.⠀”

@fontained 
            
            "  i'm aware .  i've already submitted my evidence to the court and filed a petition for protection from her .  she probably won't show up herself but have fatui lawyers do the talking .  "  she sighs and looks at her hands .  "  she was never like this before . .  we used to be close . .  "

“⠀the knave,  you say?⠀” ⠀ he repeats,   almost baffled at first.  ⠀“⠀if this is indeed true───then,   this case may cause some trouble   (..)   asides from her powerful influence,   getting her to court willingly would be difficult.⠀”

@deacepth 
            
            "  ah . .  i was hoping if you knew where i may submit evidence for my case .  if i am bothering you ,  please let me know .  "

@solticest 
            
            "  no ,  you should really have a nap .  you look like you've been awake since the beginning of time and *i'm* saying that .  "

@masquers 
            
            huh .  that's how you kids refer to her ?  oh .  she talks about you kids a lot is all .  you and your sister .  

lady  arlecchino,   right?    father.    (..)   yes.   why? 

@masquers 
            
            uh no . .  i'm just waiting for my boss .  you're lyney ,  right ?

@owlsette 
            
            "  i'll be fine . .  do not worry about me .  i will be fine . .  "

“you know,   i am allowing you to rest.   it's not like you need to go back this instant..   i'll speak to your peers,  rest assured.“ ⠀

@owlsette 
            
            "  im quite certain .  i'm just tired ,  nothing else .  i'll be ready to go back to work . . "
