[ riddle hums thoughtfully, considering the suggestion to save the shards of china for all of a few seconds before deciding that gorging himself on sweets is far more pressing of a matter. it shouldn't be too difficult for a gaggle of magicians to do, so if nothing else, the decimated tea sets can be separated and repurposed for other things. for now, his attention is turned back to his two best friends. however, as he speaks, he watches the green-haired young man, his expression wistful. ]
His devotion truly is amazing, isn't it? He's also my vice-dorm leader. Normally he's the king, but, well...
[ there are a lot of reasons why trey's title has been stripped down to merely decorative, to the point where no one even uses it. some are more benign, like the simple fact trey isn't the type to lord his title over people like queen riddle does. some reasons, such as riddle's descent into madness at the beginning of the year, are far less appropriate topics of conversation.
riddle huffs, dispelling the troublesome thoughts, as he arranges the last of the countless teacups in front of the (un)birthday boy. ]
Well, today is special. Otherwise, he's the greatest king Heartslabyul, and I of course, could ask for.
[ riddle is (or rather, was) so numb to the loneliness that all he can recall at the moment are the happier memories of his childhood, such as his first tart... though, his mind momentarily goes back to when he'd gotten lost in shu's world, and the young man had treated him to a strawberry tart as well. curious, that.
...that's enough baggage for one day. his wistful smile fades into one of surprise as he looks over to see shu conversing with mademoiselle. ]
Did he not know she was there this whole time...?
[ he mumbles this to himself before the girl regards him, and gives a fierce nod in response. ]
I gave everyone two formal warnings prior to your arrival, so if anyone dares to hurt or upset Mademoiselle, it's a public beheading for them. Mademoiselle, Shu, you can rest assured my card soldiers will lay their lives down for you should it come to that!
