the evidence is on my body
but I never complain
but I never complain
A shark toothed grin forms on his face as the table is revealed, mischief glittering there as he imagines all the things that could be (and would be) done in the room when it’s completed. His approval mirrors that of Charlie’s however briefly it lasts before he’s shifting his attention to actually ensuring it won’t move. Fixing it into place alongside Danta, the bolts go into the stone and there’s a few minor touches made before he, too, is taking in everything the priestess has done with nothing but glittering excitement. “How very lovely.” He hums on Danta’s heels.
The next task, though, is one that has him deciding which he’d prefer — and between eyeing the crate with all kinds of horribly wonderful tools and the rug, the butcher decides he’s probably fit for the rug (but that doesn’t mean he isn’t going to keep an eye on Charlie to see which out of all of them she appreciated the most). “So, Charlie, darling, have you spoken with the tailor yet?” He probes like an old gossipy hen, wondering if she’d asked him on that date yet. And all the while, Asta unfurls the rug and places it exactly where he thinks it should go, securing the edges down so that it won’t move easily in the day to day destruction that will be wrought here, but easy enough that it can be removed to be cleaned.
Because he imagines there will likely be a lot of that needing to be done.
Asta picks the rug!

Astaroth
i wear it as a lesson, a curse, and a blessing
