// Gonna be remaking Matthias for the Resident Evil verse soon as I get the chance.

This account isn't going anywhere, just wanna branch out since Genshin verse is starting to get a little stagnant.

"Returning to the forge I'm starting to wonder why I ever left it. I mean yes, certainly studying alchemy under Chief Albedo was a good choice for a while but why did I leave Wagner's forge for Dawn Winery?

The travel? Was that it?"

Or maybe just the opportunity to engage with people to practise.

:)

~Monsieur, I have a feeling we will be here for a while-- Warren-- MOVE damn you, you're crushing my bladder--"

~as he lay there awkwardly beneath his brother, gesturing with a hand. "and now I find myself in the same position I just removed myself from." He gripes, shifting as best he can to get comfortable, shoving at Wriothesley's body a bit.

"I hope you do not plan to make use of your couch tonight~

~that, do not bite-- why are we going backwards?"

Try as he might, Matthias just can't get Wriothesley to cooperate, the two stumbling back and tripping over each others feet until they fall backwards into the couch, Wriothesley landing on top of him again.

Matthias sighs in defeat, staring off~

Matthias struggles trying to keep Wriothesley up, grunting with the effort of actually lifting his little brother up, balking when he realizes what the twisting and struggling is for.

"Are you trying to BITE me?" He huffs, setting Wriothesley down and trying to direct him to the door. "Do not do~

~do not stand up Warren-- come on now."

~him home, put him to bed-- Warren? Hey!" Pat pat. "Time to get up, come on--"

He shifts, hooking his arms under Wriothesley's when his little brother wakes up. "Let's go, get up. Stop being difficult." He huffs. "Good thing I have that Abyssal contamination eh? I can and will pick you up if you~

~"His hormones are imbalanced and, right now, he's drunk. He'll rationalize all of this when he's gotten through the worst of it. Right now I this seems to be that initial grieving stage being hijacked by his cyclical instincts." He shrugs, giving Wriothesley a little pat on the face. "I will take~

~how others like him were treated by society... granted, yes he was--... lab grown, as much I do not like to say it, but biologically speaking now he is no different than anyone else that was born with animal traits." He pauses, shifting again like he's about to attempt to get up with Wriothesley.~

~him growing up, how he resented everything, resented our father for not coming to get him-- that was a fun conversation." Matthias rolls his eyes, seemingly exasperated.

"...I think he's just... reflecting on the discrepancies he feels he sees now that you've pointed out to him the difference in~

~the notion. "Oh he's just being dramatic, I know that was not your intent." He huffs out, slipping a hand under Wriothesley to reposition him in his lap.

"He's... struggling with this--" A vague gesture. "Cycle of his, I'm sure you understand. He was going on for days about how Fontaine failed~

"Mmm, of course it is not." Matthias sighs, slowly easing himself into sitting up while muttering things under his breath in Fontainian again, something about little brothers and Wriothesley in particular being impossible.

The clarification earns a face from Matthias, waving his hand to dismiss~

// I dunno why I love this stupid man so much SIGH.
perhaps I will take Matthias and make a version of him that is not Genshin related for other things, I hate to see his potential wasted

~beat, then a sigh as he reaches up with his only free hand and pinches the bridge of his nose. "....I will... have your lock replaced before I leave for Mondstadt-- I'm sorry about this." He huffs, lifting his head to look at Wriothesley.

"...he's been... very upset the past few days."

~him off and stumbles into him, landing flat on his back with Wriothesley sprawled half on top of him.

It's there Matthias just... stays, staring up at the ceiling like he's cursing out the Archons or looking for strength.

"....well." He starts. "I suppose there are worse places I could be." A~

~done being aggressive or are you still trying to figure out which Neuvillette wants the pet?" He snarks, sighing in renewed frustration when Wriothesley tries to bypass him and head for the kitchen again.

"Warren--" He warns, only to find himself being thrown off balance when Wriothesley fights~

~it's time to go home, yes?" He sighs, reaching for Wriothesley when the younger stumbles, resting his hands on his own hips when his brother recovers, only to reach for him again when he stumbles into yet another obstacle between him and Neuvillette.

"Yes... very coordinated, so fearsome. Are you~

The playful (he thinks it's playful, he's having a hard time reading this when he's so focused on Wriothesley) quip about Wriothesley's prior words about being here make Matthias cringe, glancing to his little brother like he's trying to figure out what the hell to do with him.

"...okay, I think~

~and start awkwardly trying to walk him out of the kitchen.

"FATHER was not an alcoholic, he was a social drinker. This is NOT the same thing Warren." He stops, struggling when Wriothesley refuses to walk and instead makes himself deadweight, mouthing an `I'm sorry--` to Neuvillette.

~He huffs in frustration, reaching up for the bottle and immediately dumping it down the sink. "You have to stop this, you can't keep running off to find more every time I try to get you to stop."

He swats Wriothesley's hands away, letting the bottle sit in the sink so he can hold the younger up~

Matthias rolls his eyes and mutters something in Fontainian under his breath, something about the frustrations of being the eldest, when he goes to relieve Wriothesley of the bottle only for his brother to hold it over his head like he thinks this will work.

"You realize I am taller than you, no?"~

~fridge despite Wriothesley's growling protests. "Stop growling at me, you cannot consume the entirety of the Iudex's fridge because you're on a drunken rampage."

~void when it dawns on him that this is Neuvillette's house of all places.

Not exactly the worst place but not a place HE wants to be seen involved with a break and enter.

"...excuse me a moment-- WARREN--" Closing the distance between himself and Wriothesley, prying said little brother out of~

Whether Wriothesley was the first to notice or not, nobody would be able to tell with the way he was half in the fridge rummaging around.

"WARREN-- get out of the FRIDGE--"

Matthias was the one to turn his head at the sound of someone attempting to get their attention, deadpanning off into the~

"That does NOT make this any better!"

He'll have to pay to have that lock replaced once he gets Wriothesley out of here....

Matthias of course, is in hot pursuit, pausing when he sees that Wriothesley has, in fact, just broken into someone's house.

"Warren-- did you SERIOUSLY just break into someone's house?!" He whisper yells.

maybe the one had to be lost for the others to be found?
