Summary
Dear Monsieur Neuvillette,
The Fortress is in dire need of infirmary staff. You don’t happen to know a competent nurse who’s willing to spend their life in the underworld, do you?
Salutations,
Wriothesley
Administrator of the Fortress of Meropide--
Dear Monsieur Wriothesley,
I do happen to know a nurse who would be quite pleased to work in an underwater environment such as Meropide. I would be happy to reach out to her on your behalf. Would this be objectionable?
Sincerely,
Neuvillette
Chief Justice of the Court of Fontaine--
Wriothesley attends a meet-and-greet arranged by Neuvillette to introduce him to Sigewinne. (Now if only he could stop being such a simp for the Chief Justice.)

Summary
Of course Monsieur Neuvillette would treat an office guest very differently from a confessed double murderer whose trial he was in the middle of judging, but … Wriothesley’s face warmed at the recollection of the Iudex’s brief smiles, his encouraging words, and his open praise of Wriothesley’s work thus far. Fuck. Nobody had ever said such nice things to him, not ever. And to hear it from somebody so—
Wriothesley knocked the heel of his palm against his temple to knock the thought of how ethereally beautiful Monsieur Neuvillette was out of his brain.
--
It's been two weeks since Wriothesley took up the mantle of Administrator of the Fortress of Meropide, and he’s not sure his best is good enough.
