iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 06/10/2026By the time that @dukeincognito.bsky.social would make it back to his office, there should be a letter waiting there that Sigewinne was kind enough to take— The wax seal was different, a personal mark rather than one familiar from the Palais Mermonia's typical documents and summons. The was a pale + 100
iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Neuvillette wasn't expecting to be caught by the hand like this while heading to the Palais Mermonia. Lavender eyes flickering between his hand and the Duke with a smile slowly forming- his attention was fully his. "Good morning, Wriothesley— I didn't expect to see you." 000
iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 07/08/2026when she wanted to teach her sisters—" Pauses, raising a brow almost curiously toward the Duke as he gingerly made his way toward the couch now.

iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 07/08/2026of the Melusine, though. Perking up a little again, that smile growing just a tad bit wider at her recent accomplishments.

It's not often where the taller man seemed like he could relax with him around— Not properly. Not fully. His attention turned back up at the mention + 100
iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 07/08/2026"I try not to, out of consideration for the inmates here and yourself." He couldn't help but to incline his head st that, lavender gaze focusing down for a moment as Wriothesley stepped away toward the phonograph, humming a bit before continuing. "Not many appreciate seeing the man who sentenced + 100
iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 06/08/2026can say for a little while. As for Sigewinne, I only saw her for a moment. She was busy, so said she'll come find me when she's done. She knew my next stop would be here to go over what I brought." 000

"I only worry that the interruption might not always be wanted, all things considered." Muses a bit, letting out a soft sigh from through his nose. A quiet kind of amusement was building up— Fondness. "I suppose I + 100
iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 06/08/2026By the time he had made it to the desk, he was leaning into it slightly. Taking a moment to himself to ease the faint ache in his knee, stepping away and turning toward the other man as he came close.

Heads toward the stairs, hooking the handle of his cane onto his wrist. "Nothing excessive. Our usual documents— I thought I would bring it to you this time, while I visit Sigewinne." 000
iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 06/08/2026The song that was playing was familiar— A tune he's certain he's heard Wriothesley play before, an ear perking up as his head tipped slightly, as he glanced between the metal of his boots then up toward the other's face peering down at him. He was hesitant, even as he returned the smile with a + 100
iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Knocks on @dukeincognito.bsky.social's office door before opening it to step inside- a few folders in hand and staring up toward the balcony where the Duke's desk was. He's waiting, just in case he can't make his way up quite yet. "Do you have a moment, Your Grace?" 000
iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Ah, so Enghiene has returned from her vacation to Natlan after retirement.... All the more reason he will be there. He'll be on his way. 000
iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Slowly rubbing face.... He should go see the Melusines and unwind. 000
iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 03/08/2026adult might be given a raised brow and questioning look. It’s simply a matter of respect and him trying to access the situation before tentatively continuing. 000
iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 03/08/2026knows that his hair color and cane doesn’t quite help this image either— A young child calling him in such a manner isn’t something that upsets him, instead he’s fond of responding to it if there’s a child ‘bold and brave’ enough to approach the Iudex. However, a teen or an + 110
iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 03/08/2026He thinks it’s funny when someone calls him ‘grandpa’ or ‘old man’, especially young children. Neuvillette’s aware that, nine times out of ten, it’s not meant with malicious intent from the Court of Fontaine. Especially when keeping in mind that, to humans, he very well could be. He also + 100

iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 03/08/2026as he has- Neuvillette tends to keep these features to himself as much as he can. While he isn’t fond of his judicial robes, he does appreciate that it does well to help hide some of the more obvious and unexplainable ones. His smile is quite awkward + 100

iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Neuvillette has several draconic features outside of his rhinophores, ears, and pupils. Other features include double fangs, forked and tinted tongue, scaled sections in sporadic placements, and his nails being naturally pointed. His genitalia are also quite different from a + 100

iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 03/08/2026As confirmed in canon, Neuvillette does see himself as a parent to the Melusines. That being said, he’s well aware that there might be some just as old as he is, since their birth from when Elynas had perished around the same time he reincarnated into his current form. He treats them with + 100

iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Neuvillette- as we know of from the last updates/involvement of Fontaine’s story, characters, and events- still tragically falls short on the understanding of human emotions and humor. He still actively tries and keeps a journal of notes that travels between his own home and his office + 100

iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Neuvillette’s accent while speaking Fontaine’s local language is a bit older than the modern dialect. Seeing that he’s been the Iudex for around 400~ years, it’s simply because he’s been around long enough to learn and maintain it into modern day. He does understand most dialect and slang in + 100

iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 03/08/2026He’s very musically inclined. From piano to flute, violin to harp, he’s always enjoyed listening to and playing music— While he doesn’t have much time to play anymore, he keeps each instrument polished, cleaned, and perfectly tuned. The time he does have off, on occasion, it’s usually spent + 110

Vautrin was the first, and + 100
iudex @aquarumrector.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Neuvillette did, in fact, love Vautrin. Though, he didn’t know what it meant to love someone- still doesn’t fully understand it to this day. He had spent a lot of time with the man due to the cases rising against Melusines when they first arrived and the laws he was working to put into + 100
