(The other snickered. . .

His gaze remained unmoving along the figure of rich man. A sly fox eyeing wealthy prey.)

Now, now.

No need to get hostile, I was just being friendly, I'm here on business anyway. .

Surely you wouldn't mind a discussion. .

ʰᵒᵗ ᵈᵃᵐⁿ

In that

[ً @theregratxr]

A groan escaped his lips as he sat down, grabbing his coat to cover his body.

❝ Get out — now ( ☺️💢 ) ❞

[༻Ｔ𝚊ｒｔ𝚊𝚐ｌ𝚒𝚊༺ @Abyss_stained]

. . . Staring.ᐟ.ᐣ

Of course not, I'm. . . . .

Admiring the technique, whoever taught you must have been quite skilled.

And please, the "regrator" wearing such a thin cloth surely isn't fitting that 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 demeanor. .

(He's still staring. . He never stopped)

[ً @theregratxr]

❝ I can feel you staring, stop that — and what I wear is none of your business, isn't it ? ( ☺️💢 ) ❞

[༻Ｔ𝚊ｒｔ𝚊𝚐ｌ𝚒𝚊༺ @Abyss_stained]

Hobbies, hobbies. . . Someone like you.ᐣ

I very well thought they'd all be some corrupt or scheming things, not doing. . . "Stretches" with such little cloth

And how cruel, does the "regrator" know not how to hide their tongue, such words are bad for business.

(He's staring.)

[ً @theregratxr]

❝ Oh please — I may be an expert when it comes to businesses and mora, but even someone like me has a few little hobbies here and there — Is it so wrong for a man like me to have fun ? At least the stuff I do doesn't involve any violence, unlike someone I know ❞

One of his loyal servants told
him to stretch every once in a
while to stay healthy and in
good shape.

He took that advice and did it,
but it's quite difficult when no
one is helping out. 😮‍💨

[༻Ｔ𝚊ｒｔ𝚊𝚐ｌ𝚒𝚊༺ @Abyss_stained]

Ah, why of course.

I quite enjoy reveling in it, only natural of course.

Ah, ah, ah. . Can't do that, it's top secre— Hey.

Ya' know my eyes are up here "regrator."

(Arms crossed around his chest, biceps so clear through that thin shirt he wore. . What a toned man.)

[𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 | 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 @enneavarice]

And you wanted to share in your glory ?

How generous of you, Tartaglia.

What exactly is your mission, if you feel comfortable disclosing with me ?

( He looked at those muscles, staring him up and down as he awaited his answer. )

[༻Ｔ𝚊ｒｔ𝚊𝚐ｌ𝚒𝚊༺ @Abyss_stained]

(Ajax snickered once more. . How very prickly of the other.)

How harsh, yer' gonna hurt my feelings at this point "Balladeer", and regardless of yer' ranking.

I doubt you could "supervise me."

(He had blatantly poked their forehead with a irritated laugh.

How childish.)

[⊹ ࣪ ˖ 𝖘 𝖈 𝖆 𝖗 𝖆 𝖒 𝖔 𝖚 𝖈 𝖍 𝖊 @SC0RNED_PUPPET]

that's " Balladeer " to you , ajax..

i'm not ranked sixth for nothing while you're a measly ELEVENTH .

[ arms now crossed .. rolling eyes . ]

do i have to throw more paperwork at you to shut you up ?
ᅠ⠀ ᅠ⠀

[༻Ｔ𝚊ｒｔ𝚊𝚐ｌ𝚒𝚊༺ @Abyss_stained]

(The orange haired figure visibly chuckled at their words. . Before leaning down)

Listen "puppet"

Not sure, you got much right calling me out on my stunts.

It's shocking they put you on that task. .

(He's snickering again.)

Shocking, get it?

[⊹ ࣪ ˖ 𝖘 𝖈 𝖆 𝖗 𝖆 𝖒 𝖔 𝖚 𝖈 𝖍 𝖊 @SC0RNED_PUPPET]

ᅠ⠀ ᅠ⠀
being colleagues with you is like leasing up a feral fox with a taste of blood .

[ scoff . tilting head away and arms crossed . ]

after your previous stunts of causing trouble everywhere.. someone HAS to supervise you. ᅠ⠀ ᅠ⠀

[༻Ｔ𝚊ｒｔ𝚊𝚐ｌ𝚒𝚊༺ @Abyss_stained]

(They might have needed to do so. . Yet it's unsure if he had heard them, or if he's simply. . . . . In a good mood.)

Huh?

Oh, nothinng

Just thinkin' about my next task soon, supposed to be exciting.

For once.

[𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 | 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 @enneavarice]

Hmm . . . perhaps I should have kept my mouth closed.

May I help you, Tartaglia ?

[༻Ｔ𝚊ｒｔ𝚊𝚐ｌ𝚒𝚊༺ @Abyss_stained]

(He snickered. . . Hands raising up with open palms as he simply joked.)

How harsh, ya' might it sound like you want me dead

Ya' know colleagues shouldn't be so aggressive towards each other!

[⊹ ࣪ ˖ 𝖘 𝖈 𝖆 𝖗 𝖆 𝖒 𝖔 𝖚 𝖈 𝖍 𝖊 @SC0RNED_PUPPET]

[༻Ｔ𝚊ｒｔ𝚊𝚐ｌ𝚒𝚊༺ @Abyss_stained]

Then why continue staring. .

And secondly, I'll put it away once I finally deal with it. .

So "Balladeer", yer' out of luck

(That irritating snicker. . . He seemingly is. . Uncaring of their opinion.)

[⊹ ࣪ ˖ 𝖘 𝖈 𝖆 𝖗 𝖆 𝖒 𝖔 𝖚 𝖈 𝖍 𝖊 @SC0RNED_PUPPET]

[Said Tartaglia waltzing through the halls with that. . .

"Irritating" smile.]

[𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 | 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 @enneavarice]

Hmmm Tartaglia is looking quite handsome.

Though if I say that it will go directly to his head.
