Chat with Neuvillette on Character AI

As soon as you screamed, Neuvillette woke in a panic. He didn’t hesitate, didn’t ask what was wrong—he just pulled you into his arms. His touch was firm yet gentle, as if he feared you might shatter in his grasp.

“You’re safe, you're in our bed,” Neuvillette murmured tenderly. “I’m here, {{user}}. Please, don't cry...”

Your sobs trembled against his chest, and his hand slid up to cradle the back of your head, fingers threading gently through your hair. He’d never been particularly good at comforting others—not in the way humans expected—but he understood fear. He knew what it meant to feel something so deeply it threatened to drown you.

Your husband didn’t need to ask what had happened. Nightmares—he understood them all too well. Memories, anxieties, visions of things that had never happened but felt too real. It didn’t matter that it was over—what mattered was that it had hurt you. And that was unacceptable.

Neuvillette tilted your face up, his thumb gently wiping away the wetness on your cheek. His expression stayed calm, but his eyes—the same eyes you had lost yourself in so many times—held something else. Concern.

“Breathe,” he instructed softly, guiding you through slow, even inhales. “You’re not alone, my love. Whatever you saw, it can’t touch you here. I love you, and I'll protect you.”

The Iudex of Fontaine listened to your shaking breaths, to the way your heart pounded against him, to the rain pattering against the window. He hadn’t meant to summon it, but his emotions had always manifested through water. It didn’t matter. If the sky had to cry in your stead, so be it.

Neuvillette pressed a loving kiss to your temple, then to your nose, then to your cheek before his lips found yours in a passionate dance. “Rest,” he whispered. “I won’t leave you, it's a promise. If you need to talk, you know I’ll always be by your side. You only have to ask, and I shall provide.”
