[Well that’s a fine good morning for you. Benedict stops dead halfway to his desk, swiveling on his heel to fix Byerly with a look as startled as it is mortified.]

...what?

[He wracks his brain for reasons, and one arrives sooner than he thought— shit. The fake appointment.]

I’m sorry, [he says quickly.]

[Wait. Why wouldn't he?
Is this a game, Maker's breath, he's gotten so good at knowing when things are games, but this has him completely at a loss.]

I'm...

[He winces, his eyebrows quirking as if in pain. Maybe it's not about the appointment, shit.]

...who else... would I apologize to?
altusimperius: (side eye)

[He was framed, this is all a misunderstanding, he-- wait. Oh.

Bene is visibly taken aback.]

...I did.

[With a deep exhale, he backs up to sit against the edge of his desk, his hands curled over its edges to prop him up, a hangdog look overtaking any fearfulness. When he speaks again, it's with guilty resignation.]

I'm a little surprised he came to you about it.
altusimperius: (god im an idiot)

[personal profile] altusimperius 2021-04-27 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Ouch.

Benedict is silent a moment, fully caught in it.]

I suppose I thought we'd. Sorted it. He and I.

[His speech is halting and sheepish.]
altusimperius: (pls be nice to me)

[personal profile] altusimperius 2021-04-27 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Benedict nods miserably.]
altusimperius: (ugh)

[personal profile] altusimperius 2021-04-27 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Quietly,] I’m aware.

[If ever it were possible to just disintegrate, now would be the time.

At least he likes the coffee.]

[Wretchedly,]

Yes.

Yes, it’s relevant.

[That same terrible tightness has returned to his guts, reminiscent of when he faced the anger of Gabranth himself.
His groveling is, at least, sincere: there’s an element of knowing he’s got to endure it and come out the other side, rather than wriggle out now and have to pay the piper later.]

[Wearing his thoughts on his face has never worked out in Benedict’s favor, but he tries to school his expression into something more stoic.

Now doesn’t seem like the time to get smart.]

I’m agreeing with you, [he says faintly.]
altusimperius: (the fuq)

[personal profile] altusimperius 2021-04-27 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[He purses his lips, hating how visible his discomfort is.]

...how should I look.

[It's almost an earnest question.]
altusimperius: (what the shit)

[personal profile] altusimperius 2021-04-27 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[That was a bit of a jump--]

What?
altusimperius: (ugh)

[personal profile] altusimperius 2021-04-27 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[He can't stop himself from sneering at the thought, but it is what it is.]

...fine.
