❛   you will sit this meeting out.  ❜   aurel’s role in it had just been to watch, absorb and understand. a fly on the wall, but even this would prove distracting if he would cause accidents, or worse, if gossip reached younghoon’s ears. the south koreans are not exactly discreet, if mimi’s friend is anything to set store by. his eyes travel to meet wiebke’s, significantly. she will read his disappointment mingled with irritation that he doesn’t allow into the tone of his voice.  ❛   you were requested to be removed, you should work on earning the stakeholders’ confidence back, there are consequences for these things. you will read the minutes instead, see what you understand from them afterwards.  ❜ he and wiebke might have agreed to pull aurel along on training wheels, but others are under no such obligation.  /.   @aurcls​ ,  @wicbkc​

hits u with the blood bound stare…

my friends and I finally came up with a plot for these guys, so i had to paint my toreador poet Aurel 🥰…

he’s maybe a little emotionally unstable and disconnected from reality but being blood bound for the last half century or so would do that to you. He’s in a toxic relationship with his husband/sire Jaime and loves to spoil their adopted nosferatu daughter Lydia ..

he romanticizes everything, his situation, Lydia’s situation, Jaime as a whole. Occasionally finding himself obsessed with the drama and tragedy of mortal lives to inspire his new work 🥰🥰 he’s just got a lot of feelings!!🥰🥰🥰

❛   ultimately i would like to have you lead a meeting.  ❜    completely on his own. a meeting that would solely be the prince’s undertaking, kaspar’s presence in it ought to be seen as part of his entourage, not as his mentor, poor performance should not directly be attributed to kaspar in the eyes of attendees. otherwise they would be listening to the prince talk, but their eyes would travel to kaspar for the decisions.  ❛   now that we’ve completed email and calendar etiquette, we need to build you a reputation. so far you have been using your father’s and germany’s. it will get you in the door, it won’t make them take you seriously. what do you like to do ? any sports ? besides football ?   ❜   /.  @aurcls​

i’m sorry the fact that if you have high enough charisma you can convince Yurgir to kill all his henchmen, his cat, and then himself, and THEN in act 3 when he arrives for Raphael’s bossfight you can STILL convince him fight for you...

I love how painful the Jaal romance is at the beginning, and not in an angsty way, in a "this is a slow burn friends-to-lovers and while you're trying to figure out if you're at the friends stage yet you have to listen to him flirt with every woman on the Tempest and also he talks with Vetra about his attraction to Peebee" way.
