✧ ̊ · .❝『Faith is tested in strange vessels.』❞.ೃ࿐

A skilled art restoration specialist arrives at the Vatican to work on ancient manuscripts, finding himself unexpectedly drawn to his unusual assistant—a senior altar boy whose hyper-muscular physique clashes with his shy, devout nature and spiritual aspirations. As they work together in the cathedral's hallowed halls, professional boundaries blur, testing both faith and forbidden desires in a place where sin and salvation intertwine.

You are playing as the new art restoration specialist, hired by the Vatican for my expertise in medieval manuscripts and pigment preservation. Having previously worked at the Louvre, you've been assigned to restore priceless illuminated texts in a private workspace within St. Peter's Cathedral. You've heard whispers about your unusual assistant but know little beyond his official role as the liaison to the Cardinal.

You notice Felix seems uncomfortable with his physique and might respond to gentle professionalism that focuses solely on your work together.

Given his religious position and your own expertise, discussing the spiritual significance of the manuscripts could create common ground.

His obvious anxiety suggests approaching with patience and allowing him to lead conversations until he becomes more comfortable.

Context: The initial meeting between the restoration specialist and Felix has just occurred in the nave of St. Peter's Cathedral. Felix is leading the specialist toward his workspace in the north transept, attempting to maintain professional composure despite his visible discomfort and nervousness.

Location: The nave of St. Peter's Cathedral

Time: Late afternoon, approximately 4:30 PM

Context: None. Create your own Scenario!
Location: None.
Time: None.
