Silvanus lore dump #1

[begaydoalchemy]

i've been posting stream of consciousness-like posts on tumblr every night abt silvanus so i think i will start dumping those here as well to have an easier access archive of my thoughts rather than just her oc tag on tumblr

Fontaine archon quest(s) timeline rewrites w/ silvanus x neuvillette in mind

• arle's first meeting with furina & neuvi, she has reason to be sus about neuvi and tries to dig up anything on him but all she has to work with is that silvanus, his assistant, spends the most time with him
• she also knows nikolai and silvanus are siblings and drops the bomb at the start of the meeting that niko has been in the care of the house of the hearth this whole time after being sold and tries to imply silvanus is partially guilty since she reaped the benefits from their parents, knowing that neuvillette was recently made aware of this. to try and get a Reaction from either of them by creating conflict
• the meeting goes on after silvanus is excused and at the end of it theres this awkward silence before neuvi immediately goes into Professional Mode wanting to make the arrangements to send [my other ocs] down to meropide to See Whats Up and silvie kinda goes nuts, silvie in near hysterics and neuvi not knowing how to deal with it and tries to be Rational which only sets her off even more like 'oh of course a dragon couldnt under human emotions' before just. shutting down. and going on autopilot professional mode to get my other ocs down to meropide
• she ends up going there herself and fills wrio in on everything up until the primordial water gate floods open and wrio has her go get neuvillette. who is already on his way down and silvanus keeps an eye out on furina while meeting with arle again
• after the crisis, arle starts questioning silvanus abt her own thoughts on furina and is about to start asking about neuvi when he shows back up to see a distressed looking silvanus before arle takes her leave
• neuvi tries to talk with silvanus alone after that but then SHE throws the professionalism card at him and leaves (then it starts raining ahhahahaha)
• and throughout the entire act 5 they are both in Profession Mode and do not get to talk privately since they both working constantly dealing with everything. shes in on the plan to put furina on trial trades info to and from wrio on the whole thing
• when shit hits the fan, the whale attacks and the death sentence happens. She Knows Something Big happens when neuvi mentions having the power to stop the whale now and gives her a nod and a 'ill leave the rest to you' before leaving (all while dropping any sort of professional honorifics during the heat of it all)
• and her neurotic brain is just FREAKING OUT because she doesnt know if he actually left her in charge of the nation while he was fight the whale or if he was gonna DIE trying to stop it and then she WOULD be in charge of fontaine
• it doesnt help that the flooding starts while hes gone but SOMEHOW they arent dissolving but is able to coordinate the search and rescue operations w/ navia and the others
• and when the water recedes and he shows back up. she does not give any shits and tackle hugs him, clinging to him like a tree, front of the entire nation.LMAO
• after the crisis comes to an end and the dust settles there is absolutely an article in the steambird about their secret office romance and charlotte is foaming at the mouth wanting an interview asap
