I think that most of the time, it's the other way around. Thank you, though, for saying that. It's... it's nice to hear.

[Now suddenly unsure of what to do next. (Talk like this always throws him off.) Standing up~]

Anyway, I won't disturb you any more than I have. See you?

He sighs then, nods reluctantly before deciding to throw caution to the wind: ] You weren't disturbing me.

[ A hesitant smile, at that. ] I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, Rethe. We can talk about something else? Or, [ he gestures to his tablet ] you could join me in finishing this?

[Shaking head vehemently.]

No, no, you didn't! Um... [Movie is tempting.

Very tempting.

He hasn't seen that one.]

Well. If it's okay. But. [Lower voice, full of SHAME.] We might really have to start from the beginning.

[ Yeah. Totally unapologetic about how much he loves it. ]

[And he's already looking like a cat that has found something shiny: hyper-focused, watching the screen.

Yep. They can stay like this all day, Malice Kings duties be damned.]
