#carewyn isn't a warrior like barnaby and she really isn't great at self defense physically

As Chiara finished reading the letter, a loud thud resonated from the table. Both [Chiara and Carewyn] looked to see Diego's head faced down on the table, his teacup knocked over on the side. Muttering could be heard, yet he dared not to make any movements. "Uh, Sire…?" Chiara called, Borf walking over to the King before nudging his foot. "Are you okay?" More mumbling from the King. "That's twice…twice I messed up my impression to her���stupid Diego, how could you be so stupid?!" ~"Flowers for Your Garden," a ficlet by @ariparri

LMAO, I'm sorry -- while reading Ari's recent drabble about Diego trying and failing to court Veruca, I just was consumed with this overwhelming urge to draw this part during my breaks at work today. 😂 ​Poor boy really cannot win, can he? It's just like him trying and failing to befriend Carewyn when they first met, except worse.

I'm sorry, but the idea of Drama King Diego embracing his inner Tamaki Suou and just having the most over-the-top, anime-esque reactions to things just cracks me the hell up. 🤣 Don't worry, Diego -- the Host Club king eventually "gets the girl" in the end too! Hang in there!!

Much love, Ari!! And to everyone else, hope you have a lovely evening! xoxo
