๐ซ๐ถ๐ด๐ต a month? โช brow raising skepticallyใthe words escaping before ๐ฝe can quite temper it down. leaning back in his seatใdigits steepling before his lips. โซ
a month is hardly an eternityใ๐ธharlotte.

โ
โช of course. the reason he was here. steeling himselfใhis gaze languidly wanders the expanse she presentsโโ-taking in the hotel and its little attempts at charm. โซ
i can see that.
itโs quite .. lively.
โ
โ
โช concern. that is what ๐ฝe felt at the sound of her laughterใat the sight of her shadowed features before switching back into an eager hostess. a frown settlesใyet he allows it. โซ
โ
แ
oh .. aha ..
๏น she tries to laugh it off โโ assuming her question was a stupid one , of course .. heโs busy โโ he is ๐ถlways , busy . and his duties are nothing to question . ๏น
แ
โ
โช a sad smile. โซ .. hardly the most exciting explanationใiโm afraid.
i should have called moreใand there is no fault you should harbor because of thatโโ-only mine.
โ
โ
โช suspicious squintใthough ๐ฝe grants her the small mercy of letting it go. for now. no ๐ฆ๐น of his daughter is so easily forgottenใespecially if it brought this reaction. โซ

oh pleaseใi have yet to do that.

( walks up , towering over . )
im not sure about that , yer like three apples tall โฆ and thatโs not a good thing . all you royals treat us like garbage โฆ

โช following close behindใgaze impassive but undoubtedly impressed by the secrecy the other had managed to built around the garden. โซ
๐ถ frequent visiting place?

Before pushing a stone and suddenly it spilt apart like the ocean as he walked inside. ]
โ
๐aturally. โช soft chuckleใraising the loafed duckโpaimon to eye level. โซ is it terrible of me to say that we should attend a briefing like this? no doubt the council will seethe for weeks.
โ
โ โ
( two steps ๐ปorward ; doing what they call โ loafing โ on his majestyโs hand . comfortable and secure as ๐ ossible . )
you ๐๐ข๐ make me this way , my ๐ord . anything outrageously impressive comes ๐ปrom me ..

โ
โช quiet chuckle. โซ ๐mใyou couldnโt have picked a better insult to proclaim before so willingly sealing your demise? and here ๐พ thought you loudmouth lot couldnโt possibly be any more tackier.
