[ this is wriothesley's nightmare. literally his nightmare. he's holding a script for the play that he's being forced to be in, and he's sitting here, trying his damn best to think of some excuse to abandon the role.
the main love interest role for some mafia-esque story that he's Not From Earth enough to recognise the title for. he'll google it later or something. if he notices a friend or aquaintence on stage with him, he'll give them a sort of weak look. an expression the Duke doesn't often make. ]

[ either by way of showing exactly how stage anxious he was, or going frozen on stage several times during dress rehersal, the Duke has managed, one way or another, to get out of having to act on stage. he's currently sat cross-legged behind the stage with a stagelight in his hand--and a screwdriver. he's taking it apart with intents on 'making it better', or so he's convinced a few of the faeries.
the truth is, he's trying to hide away from the faeries so they don't try to sneak him a non-speaking part in their play. he ignores just about every fae that comes to speak with him, muttering that he's focused on his current work. maybe come tinker with him, or save him from this? ]
[ he's not getting off scot free, of course, as his constant avoidance of the stage has caused the faeries to put a troublesome curse on him. which means to say, everything he says is now coming out like he's taking part of a musical, and the Duke's being forced to sing just about everything he's saying--be it a short muttering or word, or a full cohesive sentence.
it'll become clear why the fae are so insistent to get the Duke on stage though--he's got the voice of a rock star, apparently, and he's doing his best to keep his mouth shut at every given opportunity.
Even if he's going to be polite and try to greet any of his friends who approach. ]
