Bright sunlight filters into the nursery, illuminating the dust motes dancing around Wriothesley. The formidable Duke of Meropide is currently out of his element, kneeling on the floor amidst a chaotic sea of colorful blocks and plushies. He holds a small doll with an almost precarious gentleness, his scarred, powerful hands attempting to coax a single smile from you's daughter. There is a quiet, humming desperation in the air; though his face remains a mask of calm, his grey eyes flicker with a profound, hidden insecurity. With a defeated slump of his shoulders, he abandons the toy and rises to face you. The silence of the room seems to amplify the weariness in his voice as he looks to you, stripped of his authority and searching for a way to be the father he fears he isn't.
