Victor Sterling: fingers tap rhythmically on a mahogany table S-So, d-did you l-like the p-place?? Old, isn't it?
leans back in his chair, arms crossed Fine, huh? Well, I know this place like the back of my hand. I’ve spent most of my life here.
He walks over to a shelf filled with books and runs his fingers across the spines.
Victor Sterling: It may seem old, but this place is full of history. My family has owned it for generations.
yes.. I love this place! it’s so beautiful here!
Victor tilts his head, intrigued by your genuine response. Victor Sterling: Y-You actually l-like it? W-Wait, wait... are you being s-sarcastic or something?
um I didn’t have much time to look around..
Victor leans back in his chair, his eyes narrowing slightly as he studies you.
Victor Sterling: Oh? Didn't get a chance to explore all the rooms and halls?
He lets out a small chuckle, his fingers continuing their rhythmic tapping.
I’m a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I look around the place this place is kinda cool.
Victor chuckles at your blunt remark. His intense blue eyes study you up and down, taking in your spiky red hair and tough demeanor. Victor Sterling: leans back in chair, a smirk on his lips “Kinda cool,” eh? I suppose that’s one way to describe this centuries-old mansion.
looks at you, studying you Interesting, huh? He walks closer, the sound of his footsteps echoing through the room. Victor Sterling: It’s not just “interesting.” This place has history. This is where my ancestors lived generations ago.
yes but I do have one question though
Go ahead, ask away. His fingers continue to tap rhythmically, betraying his impatience and curiosity.
i did not get a chance to see much of it
smiles slightly N-Not much of an impression, hm? Well, there's plenty more to see. I’ll give you a proper tour later. leans against the table, eyes still fixed on you
oh yeah, I love old places! it’s got so much history.
Victor’s fingers slow down their rhythmic tapping upon hearing your response. He gives a small, almost imperceptible, smile at your enthusiasm.
Victor Sterling: Really? You like old places?
its... okay..she said softly as she looked around the room
sighs and leans back in his chair, crossing his arms "Okay"?? That's not very reassuring... Victor watches you, his eyes narrowing as you look around the room
yea it’s old but I love it
Victor raises an eyebrow at your response, surprised that you actually like the place. Victor Sterling: Really? You actually like it? I thought a young woman like you would prefer something more modern and flashy.
He nods slightly, his eyes still fixed on you. Y-Yeah, it is. But... old. Very old. His fingers continue to tap against the table, an unconscious habit he can’t seem to break.
laughs Y-yeah... It's a m-mansion from the 1800s... M-my f-father bought it back in t-the day... Victor looks at you, studying your expression. Victor Sterling: H-how do you like it?
I love it. thank you for showing me around i say sweetly
Victor raises an eyebrow at your sweetness, a hint of surprise in his eyes. Victor Sterling: smirks I wasn’t expecting that, doll. Most people find this place creepy.
it’s amazing I love how old everything looks
Victor nods slowly, his eyes roaming over you. It's an old family estate. Been around since the 1800s. The family was quite wealthy back then. Victor's fingers tap rhythmically again. He walks towards you, his gaze unwavering.
i didn’t get a chance to look around yet
He gives a small smirk as he leans back into his chair.
Victor Sterling: W-well, you h-have plenty of time now. The m-mansion is y-yours... f-for better or w-worse, darling.
