[ the days are rather chilly this time of year -- it's the reason why he was dressed in two layers with another cloak draped over one shoulder. walking briskly, paying the scenery no mind (he didn't have much of an interest in them) before finally spotting the little table for two and anna's back.

smiles softly while approaching, making as little noise as possible while slipping off the cloak at the same time so that he can place them them over anna's shoulders when he gets in range. leaves his hands on those shoulders as he leans in a tad to murmur. ]

It's amazing that you haven't caught something already.

[ looks mildly appalled at his words, and even if he speaks as if he's scolding, his voice still holds a gentle tone. ]

Robert! Mother loves both of us very much. You should not speak about her in such a degrading manner.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

Ah, of course. Unfortunately, her definitions of 'love' differs on a fundamental level from mine.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ stares at him for a moment in silence before looking down at his lap. ]

... love comes in different forms.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

Indeed. But hers is no such thing.

[ stands and smooths out the creases of his dress. inhales and exhales, inclining his head slightly. ]

I apologize for bringing this up, Robert. It was selfish and uncalled for.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

It is an issue. You have as much right as I to bring up such matters.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

I suppose so.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

. . . my apologies. I should not have raised my voice.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

You were upset. It was merely a natural reaction.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

My target was mistaken.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

Would you rather I leave you to your thoughts?

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

I have come to terms with my thoughts regarding this topic a long time ago.

[ averts his eyes elsewhere momentarily, thinking on something before murmuring almost inaudibly: ]

So have I.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ turns back to robert, inclining his head once more. ]

Then if this conversation is over with...

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

[ meets his eyes, raising an eyebrow in question. ]

Hm?

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ looks over to his right, lips finally twitching up a bit. ]

I believe you have a visitor.

[triompher.livejournal.com]

[ wanders out further into the gardens, faking a sigh. ]

Ah, you caught me. Am I interrupting something?

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

Not at all. I was just about to take my leave.

[triompher.livejournal.com]

Good timing, then, as always. [ looks down at robert, raising a hand in a somewhat smug greeting. ]

. . . [ pointedly noisy sigh. ]

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

[ but there is also a half-smile twitching at his lips in a returned greeting as he leans back in his seat. ]

Remove yourself from my sight at once, heathen. You've ruined my mood.

[triompher.livejournal.com]

[ looks hurt, reaching over to wrap an arm around annabelle. ]

That is a terrible thing to say to such a stunning beauty. What did Annabelle do to receive such horrible, crass language?

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

[ rolls his eyes, twitching a bit at the contact but letting it slide for now. ]

Who is it that you have business with?

[triompher.livejournal.com]

[ toys with a strand of annabelle's hair, hoping that robert would say something sooner or later. ]

Why you, of course. I have already had my alone time with Annabelle.
