if this were modern times byerly would probably make you listen to total eclipse of the heart before you were able to leave a message

Alexandrie did say something about the two of you not speaking.

Not at this specific moment, but in general, yes.

[ He’s not so distractible. He’s coming for that bitterness. But he is easygoing enough for detours. ]

Do not worry, only half of it is about you. Maybe three-quarters.

Every morning. And every afternoon, your cleverness and charm.

[ The smile lingers in his voice as he goes back to business, asking a question he knows the answer to: ]

Do you want to be speaking with her again? Miss Poppell.

[personal profile] cozen 2021-04-27 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
She did not give you a reason?

Ooh, a mystery.

[ Not said too brightly or flippantly. The sort of tone that invites someone along, instead of leaving them behind to make light of their problems. ]

Did she leave you any clues?

Byerly, [ sweetly chiding, ] later I am going to tie you down and tell you how smart you are until you cry.

But even if you were not, she could still care what you thought and whether you valued her.

[ Bastien makes a grousing noise to register his continued objection, but otherwise lets it lie. ]

People are not always entirely logical when their feelings are hurt—I’ve heard, anyway. I’ve never seen it myself. Certainly never done it.

If only everyone could be like us. Mustached and unfailingly reasonable.

Do you want to play at the wedding? If we say for argument's sake that she would appreciate it, however secretly.

Mm.

[ A moment of fond reminiscence. ]

Then I think you should do it. I can't make people dance like you can, and—you know, the worst case scenario is that you will have done something kind for someone you don't get along with. The best is that you will come to an understanding later, and you won't have missed her wedding over a temporary disagreement. They are both pretty good scenarios.

No I can't. A waltz, sure, but not the sort of lively things a wedding deserves once the waltzing is old. Not alone on a cello. Two reels and my arm would fall off.

Maybe with a lute.

Monsieur la Poche Généreuse.

I already have one, actually.

But you are still better for it and you should still be the one to go.

You wouldn’t, you, [ Bastien begins, before actually giving a deep and genuine damn about Byerly, unlike many other targets of his little persuasion campaigns, catches up to him.

He stops. The rest of the planned sentence comes out a nose-sigh. ]


I don’t want to push you into it if you will be miserable the whole time.

[ He starts tentative, but slowly warming up to being a little pushy again: ]

It's her wedding. I would hope she would be too busy to needle you.
