[He rubs the back of his neck sheepishly as he seems to consider what he should say.
No, this is expected. Eventually, Navia would become curious why the Fortress seems to limit its dealings with Spina di Rosula. He could deflect, but he also didn't really see any reasons why he shouldn't also be upfront. It was in her right to know now that she was in charge and this affected her organization as much as it affects his.]
I won't say it's because of you, since you are obviously involved, but you've not personally done anything if that is your concern. [He shakes his head.] I am merely honoring an agreement I made with your father. Well, I've been told by more than a few people I am difficult to deal with, so you are with likeminded individuals.
[He chuckles a little as he lifts the tea cup to his face, inhaling. He lets out an exhale.] Well, I find that those who feel themselves undeserving of praise are usually those who are most deserving of it. Your feelings are not so unexpected, nor do I think that you should punish yourself for having them. It is difficult to take on such a mantle. Many people rely on you and your choices and decisions affect more than yourself. I think it normal to feel what you are feeling. What is important is that despite your feelings, you still continue to make difficult decisions.
[His mouth quirks into a smile before h sips at his tea.] I see. Well, then. Do not think of it as merely a kindness. I am seeking out pleasure and a payout that also happens to help you simultaneously. [Except, if she were needing anything, he would offer it. It just so happens that Navia would need to partake in sex in this place. There were too many things here that made it difficult to abstain.
Maybe it's best for her to think him more as cold and calculating. Even if she probably already knew he was more than just that.
While she is restless about what might come, Wriothesley seems completely calm. He eats without any issue, but when he looks up at her, there's something piercing in his gaze. Something knowing in how he looks at her.] Are you okay?
