He gave a soft smile , nodding his head slightly. " I am glad my wine is still enjoyed. Guess I just feel rusty because I've gotten old."

Lycaon accepts the wine, his head bowed elegantly. "Thank you, Master Crepus, I appreciate your kindness," the butler said, "And do not concern yourself, you are not rusty in the slightest."

He's offering the 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 some wine. " I'm a little rusty but I hope you enjoy."

Alice. . .a little more of a warning would of been nice-! He wasn't ready. . .it had been far too long. . . What was he even supposed to say !? He thought about a day like this several times before but didn't think it would actually happen. No. . .calm down Crepus. Just take a deep breath. ++

through the gate towards the door, hands balled into fists as if he were to punch his own fear. They were clenched so tightly, they were trembling when he raised one to knock at the door with the loud knocks.

Many years had passed since that unfortunate incident and to this day , Crepus himself didn't fully understand what Alice had done to save him , but she had. . . Ever since that day , the man had stayed hidden , not even writing to his sons or his friends to inform them of his whereabouts. ++

─── @twilightwines.bsky.social ; Some events in a man's life will haunt him every single day of his life. Some words will never be forgotten, not even in his sleep. He is dead, Varka. There is nothing you could have done. 'Nothing'. That certainly described the heavy feeling left in the ㅡ

Rai. I am aware some of those starters are longer than one sentence 😅

" Ah I'm afraid I've been like this for years. I am a rather frail man , always sickly." He chuckled softly , giving a light shrug. " But I don't mind if you wish to take a look before prescribing any medication."

" A cough spanning several years ... ? " Baizhu was taken aback, approaching the older man with interest and concern. " Do you mind if I have a look ? It might be treatable, or it might be a warning for something more serious. It's best to be sure before prescribing medicine. "

" I am searching for something to help with a cough. I've been dealing with this for several years now , but I'm afraid I've run out of medication. . ." The red head replied , rubbing at the back of his neck a bit.

Baizhu looked up from his scroll, serpentine eyes studying the obviously foreign man. He smiled, making sure not to show his fangs as he did. " Good morning. Of course. Do you need medical assistance ? "

// Okay! Im gonna wing it but let's do this ♡

" Hey 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫. Are you alright ?"

Rai. Guess who's home !

Rai. I wish to be free so I can start writing this old man

Rai. I hope I cooked with those head canons ♡

》𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬《

Rai. Im dropping my head canons when I go to lunch in an hour ♡

Rai. Im too tired to move my head canons over But I promise I cooked with them ♡

Rai. I will post the official head canons tomorrow ♡

Pouring the 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 some wine and handing it to them. " Here you are. Enjoy."

Rai. My brain is cooking right now

Rai. And the injury Crepus received from the delusion is now a scar on the right side of his stomach that is still tender to this day. The delusion also caused some muscle damage in that general area and some nerve damage to the hand he wore it on.

Rai. And also despite his frail health he can be caught smoking from time to time Bad habit that he picked up after he accepted that he wouldn't be able to become a knight.

Rai. I also imagine Crepus being rather frail and a bit sick And that is one of the things that prevented him from becoming a knight in the first place. Due to his fragile state he was unable to keep up with the Knight's training , therefore unable to pass the entrance exams.

Rai. And I know Crepus is a classy man , despite the fact he is rather frail. I feel he would like gentle music , casually dancing with his partner , perhaps even humming a bit. Skilled on the piano Rahhhh the brain rot is starting

// I have no art of Crepus soooo just this.

Rai. The very first thing I need to figure out is this man's age. . . I'm thinking close to Varka's age. Maybe late 40s or right around 50 🤔 I could do a bunch of numbers and get an exact age , but I think I'm gonna teeter between late 40s- or 50ish. . .
