Yes. I don't know the particulars other than that the Fortress of Meropide and Spina di Rosula's interactions should be limited. It's possible he also just didn't like working with me. [Wriothesley knows himself to be difficult when it comes to business. While most would find him to have a friend disposition in a casual setting, the Fortress was a business at the end of the day, and he would make sure that he gets the best for the inmates and the prison.]

It's also possible that regardless of Spina di Rosula's or your own reputation is positive, to deal with the Fortress would possibly cause some dissent. It would cause more issue for you than I at the very least. [He looks down at the liquid in his tea cup before placing the cup down.] Of course, that is only my guess. It matters not since it does not make excuses nor will either of us know the answer.

[As he slides some of the food onto his plate he looks up at her.] Nor does it matter here. You are Navia and I'm Wriothesley. Our titles, our occupations, and anything else holds little value here. [And so his offer to her is not because she is Callas' daughter or the leader of Spina di Rosula. It is merely because she is another potential guest in this place. That he is offering it to Navia, whom he is familiar with.]

Apologies. It is a lot to take in, so take your time. I've had a few months to settle into this place, so I merely have the information you've given me to consider. I will say that I am more at peace knowing that Fontaine persists even if I am not there. [He smiles apologetically.] While it seems all you've learned is a lot to be troubled with. Please don't hesitate to ask for help. I am more than happy to help you settle here.

[ Wriothesley is right: who they are back home really has no bearing on their positions here in this strange hotel. He's offering to help her regardless of their complicated history, and she's grateful for his kindness, and for his calm. It's steadying, in spite of the confusion and uncertainty. ]

I'll be all right. I'm pretty good at thinking on my feet, so I should be okay on my own. But... I'm glad to know that I'll have someone like you to watch my back. It's reassuring.

[ Though, the fact of the matter is he's offered to do more than just watch her back. She glances over at the bed and a fresh blush climbs up her throat. ]

It should go without saying, but I'll do my best to look out for you, too. I'm pretty reliable, you know.

I know you will be. [Perhaps one might think such words can be kind of condescending, but they're said with upmost belief that Navia will be okay.

After all, Navia had not gone through what she had only to be done in by a resort that just wants her to bang more than occasionally. Also, the place was...well, it wasn't terrible by all means. It isn't a vacation, but it also wasn't like they were doing heavy, manual labor or anything.]

Spina di Rosula has done greatly under your leadership and I cannot imagine someone to think of you as undependable. Business negotiations beside, I have never thought of you as lacking, Navia. [Though, he can't help but follow her gaze towards the bed.] Mora for your thoughts?
