#.hibiko i am sorry about this man

[sansloii]

“   You couldn’t whisper to save your life. It’s pitiful. ” to sir Andy

“Well that's not exactly fair, now is it?” is the laugh the fae king gives, “It's rather harsh on top of that, too… “Pitful”? Really?”

Now, he would be the first to admit that he did sometimes provoke Hibiko — on purpose, at that. His jabs were more on the subtle side and he scant resorted to flat out insults, but that didn't make his behavior any more forgivable. When she seemingly sought to find an issue with every little thing he did ( or just about ), he couldn't really help some of the more snide remarks on his end… or refrain from rising to the occasion.

After all, engagement, marriage, and everything that encompassed it is a two-way street. That much, he'd been reminded of thoroughly ever since the engagement had commenced… and he's certain he'd remember every day after their marriage was finalized.

“Shall I whisper during every conversation we have from now on, then? I will oblige if you are so insistent that I do.” Andris suggests, the smile on his lips a little less sincere. “If you do not like that suggestion, them you will simply have to put up with your pitiful husband-to-be.”

“If it is such a burden, then perhaps my dearly betrothed can teach me. I'm a quick study.”

"Nobu!" The young man's name fell out her mouth as soon as she spotted who Nezumi was trying to warn. Cheerful, beaming, doing her best to take all of his attention off of Nezumi and onto her. She was perfectly aware how Nobu would not restrain from causing a scene if it meant damning Nezumi from being in the same room as him ever again.

"I am so sorry to interrupt," as if she hadn't just heard the beginnings of an argument getting overheated for such an environment. "My father was just talking about your speech at the convention last week, but I haven't had the chance to read it yet." Hibiko was already guiding him in another direction with the promise of attention and flattery. "Your theory basically is that doctors were confusing causation for correlation in the Berlin case, yes? In the test you mentioned, I didn't quite catch why you don't think it was simply a fluke? You think it's repeatable?"
