“It happens.” Wilhelm sat on his bed, draping a blanket over him and Bonnie. He set the book on his nightstand. “It’s dead silent out there in the common area.”

@GoblinKing

“Everyone’s just out there to study and work- it’s essentially just a smaller library in that place.” Wilhelm shrugged simply.

@GoblinKing

(sorry for the radio silence! prepping for hell week is.. well. hell!)

“Luckily though, I was the only one vying for this girl’s attention.” Wilhelm purred, ruffling up Bonnie’s fur. “I haven’t brought her into the dorm in a while, actually.”

@GoblinKing

“Very lucky.” Wilhelm agreed, keeping his voice quiet. Bonnie was beginning to drift off to sleep in his lap once more. “She’s a good dog.”

@GoblinKing

“I’ll sing her praises until someone shuts me up, ha.” Wilhelm chuckled softly, leaning back on his headboard. He smoothed his curls down with his palm, a soft smile on his face.

@GoblinKing

“Shut me up or praise the dog?” Wilhelm laughed, keeping his hands on Bonnie’s spine, occasionally combing his fingers through the yorkie’s fur.

@GoblinKing

“Both works. Sometimes I need to be reminded to stop talking, ha! Long ramblings and all. I don’t think I’ll get over the time I monologued over firewood on your first night here. Of all things! Sorry about that, by the way.” Wilhelm smiled, rolling his head to the side.

@GoblinKing

“True, true, I guess. Still, I feel like at the minimum, I could’ve chosen a more interesting topic.” Wilhelm didn’t fully recognize the irony in himself beginning to ramble about needing to be told to be quiet, clearly. “I still don’t know what to think about you drawing- and painting- me, isn’t that odd? On one hand, I’m flattered, but on the other, it feels odd for someone to invest that much time and effort into me like that. Does that make sense?”

@ElderGod-Icefire

Connor cocked his head a little bit, eyebrows drawing together. "Ah dinnae mind paintin' an' drawin' yeh." he said slowly, not quite sure how to articulate this. "Ah enjoy drawin'…people." he swallowed softly, running a hand through his hair.

@GoblinKing

“That’s fair enough. I don’t quite know how to phrase this, ha- I’m not sure why it feels odd. I don’t mind it, you don’t mind it, so why does it feel so strange?” Wilhelm flopped onto his back, hands still resting on the dog. “That was rhetorical. You don’t have to answer it if you don’t want to.”

@ElderGod-Icefire

He let out a faint laugh at that, shrugging his shoulders. "Yeah…ah dinnae know." he replied, shaking his head a little bit. He reached over to pet Bonnie.

@GoblinKing

“Maybe we’ll never know the answer.” Wilhelm said quietly, maybe thinking out loud more than actively talking.

@ElderGod-Icefire

He nodded a little bit, shrugging his shoulders and still petting Bonnie. He didn't respond audibly, recognizing that Wilhelm was more of thinking out loud than actually talking.

@GoblinKing

Wilhelm zoned out for a split second, but quickly snapped back into reality. “Um- hm. That.. spiel, that wasn’t to sound ungrateful for you drawing me, or anything. I feel like I should’ve been more explicit in that regard.”

@GoblinKing

Wilhelm looked at Connor’s outstretched arm. “Do you want her for a bit? I don’t mind moving her to your bed.”

@GoblinKing

(alright!)

“That’s a tough decision to make, you know. Forcing a man to choose between his friend and his dog.” Wilhelm laughed, picking up the elderly dog. She wiggled sleepily in his arms, but didn’t do much to fight back when he placed her next to Connor.
