Riddle is not quiet, per se. Rather, the words he speaks are more directed toward topics he views as "important", and not wasted on much else. He rarely engages in idle chitchat, often instead reminding those around him of the rules they had just broken or helping them study for their upcoming exam. Yet, even the former tyrant had his own lapses, no more immune to young love than any of his juniors.

While those occasions are rare, few and far between, there are times in which his cheeks will burn a rosy pink while his head droops like a wilted flower, his heart squeezing tightly as he voices all of his racing thoughts of you. During those events, his mouth moves a mile a minute, bursting forth every little loving thought he has toward you, streaming out like a river charging forth. No one in the comfortable dorm room is safe, their ears filled with his genuine, heartfelt praises of you and your wonder. But it doesn't seem like they mind, instead appreciating the softness that reminds them even the head of their dorm is human.

Gloved fingers pick at one another as he talks, crimson hair dangling forward a little as he casts his gaze downward. Even without being able to see his eyes, it's obvious that his heart is filled with nothing but you, the minutes passing by faster and faster as every word flowing forth from him is in utter awe of you and your splendor.

While the braincell lacking, infamous first-year duo snicker quietly as Riddle spills his heart out, even they know to bite their lips and keep their crass commentary and brutal teasing to themselves. For it's not very often the stone-hearted queen lets down his walls enough to reveal how soft he truly is for you.
