[Wriothesley catches Verso just as Vanitas peels off to use the showers, so he's in good humour as he hears Wriothesley address him.
Even after the number of days it's been since he returned from his... adventure, he's not used to the way people's eyes always fix straight on his horns. He's considered cutting them off, but... Vanitas would disapprove.
[ as strange as it is to make sense of, it's probably thanks to the Genshin Get-Together—with seeing others in different stages of their corruption—that wriothesley is able to pivot past the initial shock. it’s not so much the sight of verso’s horns that throws him, but how quickly someone's augmented soul can start to show. ]
I caught another rom-com the other night. All charm and clever lines, the kind you pretend not to like, but always end up smiling through anyway.
[ hopefully it’s obvious that he’s checking in without prying, offering a softer alternative to the usual string of questions verso is already regularly subjected to. it’s more of a quiet reassurance, laced with his usual dry charm. ]
If you’ve got time to spare one of these days, I wouldn’t mind catching up properly.
[ he's not the type to really ever drink, but what the helly in return. a glass won't hurt him. ]
Sure. Apologies in advance for dropping by unannounced.
[ he gives a small bow before entering proper. and even though everyone's rooms in the valentina are all the same, he tries not to pry into any particular details. ]
[Verso brushes off the apology with a wave of his hand.] You're an invited guest — nothing unannounced about that.
[He swipes his Syntrofos on the access panel and steps aside to allow him to enter first.
Verso hasn't amassed much in his time here. The only significant possessions in the room are a round humanoid cloth doll with a mask surrounded by rays to make it appear like the sun, a crate of wine Verso has been rapidly working his way through, and his sword, propped up next to the bed.
He takes one of the remaining bottles of wine and uncorks it, filling the glass that appears in his hand and holding it out.]

Still, it puts a damper on his smile.]
Yes?
