Traveling with Wriothesley: Day 7
"That's a breathtaking view," Wriothesley commented, feasting his eyes upon the lovely pink trees amidst the desert.
The Traveler smiles proudly, "Right? It used to be a lifeless wasteland though." They revealed, looking back to one of their previous adventures.
Wriothesley looks at them, his eyes laced with curiosity. "Oh, really? How so?" He inquires, eager to find out the Traveler's story.
"Well, those trees that you see? They used to be crystallized back then," The Traveler points at a distance. "So it was all dark and grey... plus, there was an ominous purple portal on the ground."
[How it used to look in the past...]
"But after helping out Sorush and the other Pari, we restored this place back to what you see right now." The Traveler continued their story, recounting their experience with a warm feeling in their heart.
Wriothesley looks at the Traveler, seemingly in awe, "Wow. You're a hero indeed." He praises his companion for their hard work. "Everywhere you go, you leave behind something wonderful."
The Traveler blushes and looks away, "Thank you, I just did... what I had to. And what I thought was the right thing at the moment." With a soft voice, they replied.
The Duke chuckles, admiring the Traveler, "But I hope you're not planning to leave me behind too someday." He jokingly says.
Quickly, the Traveler looks at him with a frown. "I would never do such thing!" They protested and pouted.
"Oh look, there's a Pari over there." Changing the topic, Wriothesley pointed out as he noticed Jarjar, one of the Pari in the area.
"Ah, that's Jarjar." The Traveler walks up to the Pari, leading the way for Wriothesley. "Hello, friend. It's been a while." With a smile, they greeted the Avian creature.
"Oh, it's you Traveler. Do you want to play games with me again?" Jarjar, the Pari asked. "Wait, who...?" The Pari takes notice of Wriothesley, looking at the Traveler with questioning eyes.
"This is Wriothesley, my traveling partner." The Traveler introduces with a joyful tone.
"Hello there." Wriothesley waves at the Pari, keeping his cool composure.
"Partners! How wonderful. Jarjar can prepare a game for you two to enjoy." The Pari excitedly flew around.
Wriothesley looks at their partner, wondering what kind of game the Pari is talking about.
"Jarjar likes to play race games. It was fun to complete his challenges." The Traveler giggles while sharing their experience with the Duke.
"Racing, huh? Well, I'll be looking forward to that." Wriothesley crosses his arms and nods with a smirk.
"Come to think of it, Jarjar kinda looks like you." Wriothesley said while they watched the Pari fly away.
"Eh?" The Traveler blinks, they didn't expect such comment from the Duke.
"Well, your hair is light like their body. Plus, you have the same eye color." Wriothesley stares at their partner while explaining his idea. "Only yours look lovelier to me, of course." He smiles as he compliments the Traveler.
As their heart skipped a beat, the Traveler couldn't help but look away once more. "Geez, that was unexpected." Wriothesley laughs, he knew he would get this type of answer. "I adore your eyes as much as you adore mine, hmph!" Playfully, the Traveler complimented him in return.
"What's this glowing piece of wood?" Wriothesley asked as they continued walking around the Gavireh Lajavard.
"That's a Fravashi tree. Spirits of old Pari used to lay here." The Traveler explains the mystical aura around the place. "I've put them all to rest so they can go in peace."
Wriothesley feels a sense of peace as the Traveler tells him the story behind the tree. "That sounds like a good ending."
As they continue walking around...
"You're telling me... we'll jump down into this thing?" Wriothesley asked, looking down at the glowing entrance.
The Traveler nods. "Are you scared?" They jokingly asked.
"Absolutely..." Wriothesley slowly moves his hand towards the Traveler. "...not!" Without warning, he grabs them and jumps towards the hole.
Together, they both fell into the glowing entrance. And before they knew it, a bright light blinded them for a moment.
The next thing they know, they've been transported to a whole new place.
"Where are we?" Wriothesley asked while looking around.
"We're at the Gaokerena. This giant lotus flower... is where the last Dendro archon kept Egeria's consciousness." The Traveler tells Wriothesley yet another story about the world's history.
Slowly, the Traveler walks away, creating distance between them and the Duke.
"This is where the divine bird, Simurgh, drank Egeria's fluids - causing the creation of the Pari race." The Traveler glances back at Wriothesley and reaches their hand out.
Wriothesley takes a moment before stepping forward. He was admiring the Traveler's beauty from a distance.
"Egeria sure had a lot of ties with this place in Sumeru." Wriothesley replies, finally moving forward.
The Traveler nods in agreement. "Yeah," They smiled as the Duke stood next to them. "Beautiful place though, right?"
Wriothesley smiles back, "Indeed."
(NOTE: If you notice any inconsistencies in the lore, please feel free to correct me. I don't remember everything in order and I rely on the Genshin Wiki to refresh my memory.)

For decades, the blank vision that Iudex Neuvillette wears near his heart has been subject to much discussion in Fontaine. Nobody remembers who it had once belonged to or why the ancient dragon protected it so jealously. It is said that if the Chief Justice would to stare at it for a long while, it would be sure to rain right after. Oh, how beloved that person must've been.

The way traveller just spontaneously became Wriothesley's favourite person™. He just looked at this goofy blondie his bestie sent in for some spy work and after the fact was like "yk what, I like this one".
And like everyone at the prison is very much aware of this. We get this stated to our faces on several occasions that he gives us special treatment. As soon as someone attempts to hurt the traveller he immediately snaps even tho he was completely calm when they were threatening him.

There's such minor changes to most of Wriothesley's voicelines that I find is kinda weird but maybe they felt it flows better? Idk his lines as it is in CN adds a layer of vibes, I guess? He comes across as a bit funnier imo
I dunno, I just was surprised at some of the deviating lines and for folks who might be curious, here's some I wanted to point out:
____________________________________
Under "Chat: Pets":
EN: "...It's just not right to keep small animals where they won't be able to see the sun."
CN: "...但小貓小狗在不見陽光的地方生活太可憐了。 還是算了吧。"
which would be closer to: "but for small cats and small dogs to live somewhere with no sunlight is too pitiful. Forget it."
Under: "Chat: Words of Advice"
EN: "Word of advice: Don't break the law. Hmm, is there anything else? Oh, yeah... Seriously, don't break the law."
CN:"不要違法。 還有什麼需要叮嚀的嗎? 喔對了,不要違法。"
there isn't anything particularly special about this one other than he just automatically starts the line with "don't break the law". I just find it funny. No word of advice part, just a simple: Don't do it. Seriously, don't do it.
Under: "When Thunder Strikes"
EN: "You know, they say if you're scared of the thunder, it's really because you've got something else to hide."
CN: "心中無罪的人,在這種天氣下也能安睡吧。"
this line is completely flipped, tho the meaning is maintained. instead, it's closer to: "if your heart is guiltless, you can probably sleep through this kind of weather." (the probably [吧] is the funny part to me)
Under: "Something to Share"
EN: "...They'll be stumbling over your name as soon as they try to announce that you are under arrest."
CN:"...然後他們在大喊「那個誰,把手舉起來!」時就會卡住。"
this line is him imitating what a garde would say. this part becomes: "and then they'll cry out "The who? Put your hands up!" and then get stuck"
Under: "Receiving a Gift III"
EN: "Please excuse me, I'm... I'm gonna brew a cup of tea."
CN: "等我去泡杯茶。"
He doesn't even put niceties in the front, LOL. It's just "wait, I'm gonna brew a cup of tea"
Under: "Fallen II"
EN: "Instead of going big, guess I'm going home..."
CN: "孤注一擲的後果"
actually not comical for once in his lines. This one is actually chengyu/an idiom that means: risking everything on a single attempt without thinking about the consequences

I think a lot about Wrio allowing himself to indulge and gaining some weight as a way of healing, he went hungry for a long part of his life, but now he gets to be safer, to eat his fill and go to sleep with a full tummy. I also think of Neuvillete encouraging him to do it so, cherishing his softer body and rubbing his tummy, empty or full, which is great bcs Wrio not only lived starved of food but of affection too. I LOVE WG AND STUFFING AS HEALING, AND I LOVE WRIO. I CAN HEAL HIM FR (BY FEEDING HIM)
AHSJSHUS I LOVE THIS cherishing his softer body and rubbing his tummy <3333
i feel like so many canon profile bits and exchanges with him point to him being quite an indulgent character already; slacking off work, turning up his nose at the less desirable welfare meals, strolling around fontaine's patisseries, taking little tea breaks whenever the opportunity arises. as he deserves to!
given that he's said to be seen visiting bakeries while on duty in the overworld, i like to think he has a sweetooth :3 perhaps neuvillette often brings him pastries and cakes as gifts whenever he visits during work hours. he invites him to furina's famous tea parties whenever the chance makes itself available (one of which is sure to be hosted each time the warden has official business to discuss in the court of fontaine, no matter how trivial.) he is always delighted to see him treat himself, and wriothesley is just as happy to satisfy his sweet tooth on such a decadent feast; not only did he never think he would have the opportunity to live so luxuriously, but also because now he believes he deserves to do so, no longer holding back from his desires out of guilt and little self worth.
not only does he give in to his newfound large appetite, but neuvillette rather likes to indulge him too. he brings him out to restaurants and orders fine foods and wines - a gloved finger pointing out the dishes on the menu as he orders for the both of them. at furina's tea parties, he offers him another slice of cake or suggests which desserts to try next, even as wriothesley places a hand on the swell of his quickly filling stomach.
"kouign-amann pair quite well with ginger tea. i must say this batch has been baked long to perfection," he muses, delicately pushing a plate across the table to wriothesley, who is still making his way through the gâteau he insisted he try. "though if you are drinking something sweeter, i would suggest a few canelés, or this pear tarte tatin. what do you think, furina?"
"the red wine caramel is exquisite, wriothesley."
"these macarons from lucerne's, though, are truly delectable. they are still light and crisp from this morning."
"let me breathe first." wriothesley swallows, smiling fondly at his enthusiasm to see him eat well. (and, really, breathing may become slightly more challenging if he continues on like this.) "i haven't even finished the last few you so kindly bestowed upon me."
and ohhh the belly rubs,,, !!!!!!!
ofc i believe wriothesley is so weak for having his tummy rubbed in the first place - neuvillette's warm hands are the perfect balance of heavy and firm but gentle, and just feel so inexplicably nice - so when the deep circles he rubs into his belly are accompanied by the pleasurable feeling of being full of baked treats or a yummy dinner, he quite positively ascends to heaven. and when his lavish lifestyle inevitably fills him out and he amasses a few extra inches on his waistline, the iudex's hands on his newly senistive tummy send him out of this world entirely. falling asleep is a difficult thing for wriothesley, but under these circumstances - whether neuvillette is settling a meal in his stomach or simply providing affectionate rubs - he feels safe and cared for in his arms, and despite fighting it, sleep takes over him and he's snoring lightly into his boyfriend's shoulder. indulging is a fun little hobby, but having somebody to indulge with - somebody to pamper you - is much preferable.
(also consider - tummy kisses. neuvillette is absolutely over the moon when the soft cushioning of wriothesley's tummy means he can easily take it between his teeth, trailing little love bites over the gentle curve of his belly. or simply just pressing his lips to his warm middle in soft, adoring kisses, much to wriothesley's blissful delight.)

never thought i'd see people try to argue or analyse wriothesley's murder in regards to his personality. i think people are missing the point. the situation has nothing to do with him and has everything to do with an extremely traumatic environment that made a small boy think the only solution so save himself and the people he cared about was to take the life of his abusers. it's not supposed to be rational, it wasn't premeditated, it wasn't about getting away with it. if you read his description of the murder you can see how out of it he was. his goal was to protect himself and his siblings and that's what he did. that's why he admitted to the crime so easily and why he is keen to associate the fortress as a rebirth place. he was just young, lost and traumatised and that's about it when it comes to the extension of it all.

i'll make a proper hc post about it eventually but i definitely want to make it clear that although wrio is willing to visit his partners in their respective regions eventually, leaving the fortress is not easy for him for a number of reasons & he definitely doesn't feel safe leaving that prison
the fact he will leave in order to spend time with those he loves just goes to show how much he trusts them and how safe he feels in their presence

Traveling with Wriothesley: Day 1
"It's been a while since I came to the surface," Wriothesley said, his voice mixed with forlorn and solace.
"Does it bother you to be here?" The traveler asked while glancing at the Duke.
The man in black simply chuckles, amused by the inquiry. "Not at all," He shook his head. "I'm looking forward to traveling with you." Wriothesley nodded with a small smile, reassuring his new companion.
"It'll be a new journey ahead but it will be fun, even more now that you're with me." The traveler returned his smile, sharing a moment of mutual trust and affection.
"Oh, this little guy?" Wriothesley stopped and pointed at the otter when the traveler noticed it.
"He's always hanging out there. Hah, probably curious about our affairs inside the Fortress."
The traveler giggles sweetly, finding the whole situation cute.
"It kinda looks like the Iudex, doesn't it?" The traveler suggested.
Wriothesley laughs, finding the suggestion hilarious.
"You're right. Ah, can't believe our chief of justice is just some otter in the sea."
Traveler and Wriothesley kept watching the otter, sharing laughter together while waiting for their boat to arrive.
Together, they walked through the pathway leading to the Opera Epiclese. There was silence between them, but not the kind that felt awkward or uncomfortable.
As they reached the entrance of the Opera, Wriothesley stopped and turned to the traveler.
"I missed watching performances here." He admitted. But despite the longing in his words, his voice was calm as ever.
"Why don't we go in? No trial or performance is going on." The traveler offered and led the way inside.
As they stepped in, they both took a moment to admire the pristine structure, the way each corner gleamed with beauty.
"It's still the same, just like the day of my trial," Wriothesley spoke and walked ahead, letting the traveler follow his trail.
As they stood together before the Oratrice, Wriothesley pointed at the podium where he once stood.
"That's where I was questioned and sentenced guilty." He took a deep breath before continuing. "It wasn't a long trial. I quickly admitted everything, after all, what's there to hide?" Wriothesley said with a soft tone in his voice.
The traveler listens intently, staring at the stage before them.
"Lady Furina was even disappointed at how boring my trial was. Ah, how bad I felt to bring dismay to the former archon herself." Wriothesley shook his head as he grinned, finding the thought silly.
"I'm sorry... for all that you went through. No child deserves that." The traveler frowned, showing their concern for Wriothesley.
The Duke faces their way and pats their head. "Sorry for what? It's all in the past now, don't look so down." He chuckled, trying to lift the mood.
"All the things that happened before, led me here today. And now I am standing here, with you."
Wriothesley spoke with a radiant look in his eyes, showing his strength as a person who found his new place in life.
He regrets nothing. That's the kind of person he is. And that makes him even more admirable in the traveler's eyes.
#TravelingwithWrio Day 1: Part One
[Please know this is a Lumine POV fanfic. I will not tolerate any negative comments. This is also a self-insert journey x Wriothesley - where he agrees to travel with you and Paimon is non-existent. Reposting the fic itself is not allowed. Reusing my photos are OK with credit.]

@apocryphis said : listen. the sender disobeys and you swat their curious hand away. (that feels like a wriothesley and neuvillette scenario -)
↬ ⭒˚。🖁‧₊˚ 〖 down these mean streets . . . 〗
⸻ among his usual duties , with a crisis averted following the dissection of a looming prophecy , the iudex is assigned to new heights — assuming the responsibilities of their former ruler. a seemingly daunting feat , but for neuvillette , it is simply another task to accomplish. and one he undertakes with the intent to complete to the best of his ability.
which meant , he was to uphold the usual principles of hospitability and pleasantries , with the only difference being the absence of one , unique subject. even now , the stark deficiency sinks into him — were it not for the phonograph.
someone , however , had taken advantage of a fleeting moment , and with a light strike , he dissuades an intrusive hand from snatching the arranged treats. ❝ i apologise , wriothesley , but those are for an important client. if you are peckish , i am more than happy to summon pastries that are suited to your liking. ❞
of course , his preparations are in advance. a habit that is well — known between the pair who idle in the palais mermonia. for that reason , the chief justice suspects this must account for the duke’s presence , and furthermore his knowledge that swiping a baked good would hardly desecrate the scene. but perhaps , the ordainer views this as an opportunity to traverse beyond his office with the prison guard by his side.
❝ shall we visit café luteceto to browse their selection ? with a wide variety , there will surely be something that appeals to you. ❞

my roman empire is wriothesley's sq cutscene where he stalks toward dougier like a wolf after his prey while dodging bullets like an unbothered king and then slams him into the ground and grabs him by the back of the neck and affirms that he's the law of the fortress of meropide.
