WWX WAS TRYING HIS BEST, and I Serpilia did acknowledge that from day one. The man was personable, friendly, and clearly had some vested interest in her group actually winning the game in the end, and she really appreciated that about him.

From their first meeting I think they got along well on a very basic level. Serpilia is admittedly a lot less uh... outwardly troubled than some of the others in this group LMAO, and I think that meant she could give a bold and fun interview initially without WWX having to struggle too much to get answers out of her. I think the problems came along the more time went on.

Serpilia very clearly wasn't all that interested in opening up deeply to people she'd just met a couple of weeks ago, and while she hadn't necessarily come in to find true love, she had kind of expected to make some at least shallow and fun connections. Pretty quickly she started to get left behind while others really started to click with one another, and she realized this, and so did WWX. Early on, I think he was a lot more worried about this than she was though. She figured as long as she could figure out who her match was, it didn't really matter in the long run if she found someone she actually liked, and he seemed more genuinely concerned with the idea of her leaving the place without love.

I do think she took his words more seriously than most people though. While WWX did end up showing he actually didn't know anything for real, he did still read her file, and reporting back to her on what he saw there really got the wheels in her head turning, and Serpilia playing the game more strategically. It ended up meaning that she veered herself away from anything serious people she liked as people (like Poppy), and tried getting to know some people she didn't know as well (like Odile), and that was a delight for me as a player too, since it gave me a good end to chasing after even more CR.

I think the only time they were kind of on the same page as to the level of "ah shit" was when Serpilia did fess up to who she actually liked, and the two of them just kind of had to sit there and stare at each other awkwardly, because she liked a matched pair, so what do you do with that? She recognized he wanted to help her, but there wasn't really much he could do for her in that case.

Still, WWX was a good guy the whole way through as far as Serpilia was concerned, and did his best for everyone.

It probably also helps that she never had to hear any x-rated details about his private life with his husband.
