Golden eyes widen behind dark-tinted shades. He had been the one to bump into her—and yet she's asking if he is alright.

He's never met anyone quite so kind.

It makes his heart flutter.

“I heard that you are a ruthless ruler. It is... difficult not to overhear things where I'm from...”

Yolanda felt smaller than usual in the presence of such an imposing creature. Even then, she did her best to maintain her practiced poise, along with the natural politeness she often carried.

She did believe to know better than to listen to rumours, though.

Thankfully, this was the last visit of the day. Once this audience ended, he could finally seal the castle and let its halls fall silent. The duties of a king were tedious, but unavoidable. Today, however, the monotony grated at him more than usual. Restlessness coiled beneath his scales, urging him to rise from his infernal throne and prowl the grounds for the night.

But the final visitor caught his attention. Alexander straightened, slow and deliberate. He rarely entertained other royals.

“I am,” he rumbled, voice low and edged. “When the time calls for ruthlessness.”

His gaze fixed on the visitor, sharp, lidded, but predatory.

“What could the likes of you want with a beast of my ilk this fine evening? State your business quickly, I need my supper, less you wish to become supper.”

(( from @misfxrtunekitty 's High Class verse! for either Dante or Shadowman 🫣?

A high pitched cackle. "Nice?? Oh, darling. You haven't seen my hospitality, yet! You think this is bad? Wait till you seen the fanally of my greatest work!"

A grotesque combination of bodies? Probably. He's already enjoying his throne of limbs.

@misfxrtunekitty asked: You know she'd have to get some for Harlequin as well. Hopefully he'll like these as much as Pierrot liked his! It's a matter of time before she has any of her staff members asking who she's making these cupcakes for, but it should be fine— (( we know she's yet to meet Harlequin thread-wise, but we hope this is okay 🙏

Harlequin isn't expecting anything for his birthday.

Jester will probably give him something, since he's the troupe leader, but the others? Especially Pierrot? Nah. Maybe Jester will tell them to do it out of the sheer fact that Harlequin is a member of the circus, but he 'knows' they don't really care about him all that much.

So color him surprised when the woman Pierrot had met at the store approaches...and offers a plate of cupcakes.

For him. No one else.

He doesn't like sweets most of the time. They aren't the kind of food he gravitates towards. However...the fact that someone had decided to give him something at all, but especially on his birthday, has him feeling far more happy and emotional than he expected to.

She overheard it's someone's birthday, so she's bringing some homemade cupcakes! She did have to bake these with help, but hopefully they turned out well ♥️

Help or no help, they look wonderful! And he's excited to try them out! More importantly, though, he's grateful that she's giving them to him on his birthday.

“Oh, I love this book!” The being said happily, looking through all the novels she had just put away. They turned their attention from the worn cover to the young girl as she approached them, and their tail shot up to smile at her with a sweet chiming noise.

“Where are my manners?” The creature exclaimed, then tucked an arm under their fluffy chest to bow like a knight would to a queen. “I am the magical and mystical Jestrix! It is an honor to meet you! I’ve been waiting for some time!”

"Twenty? Well fuck me." He smirked, counting through the stack of tickets before handing her a handful of them. She didn't look like she would be into his kinda music but then again, he shouldn't be judging a book by its cover.
