Maybe "old fashioned" works, but it makes people pretty stuffy and hard to be around!

[Harder than normal for Gil, at least. Sure, he could charm his way through any social function that demanded his presence, but it didn't make the feat any less insufferable.

But despite the comment, he parks himself against a bookcase to engage Tokiomi further. He doesn't want to argue, but it's a strange feeling, having someone who looks his age in the house -- having anyone at all in the house. Sure, there are maids and gardeners and dignitaries and couriers in and out of the estate, but they all leave in due time.

Gil had expected to summon a servant and then dismiss them -- now he's caught off guard and annoyed and intrigued by that development in equal parts]

If acting proper is hard to be around, that means you're not acting as you should yourself.

[but he does look a bit embarrassed -- he's feeling a bit old, suddenly]

[blinged]

Or it could be that things change, and sometimes the people who move forward too quickly have to learn to work with those who don't.

[prebeard]

"Too" quickly, as you say.

[blinged]

[STOP. WITH THIS. CATCHING HIM OFF GUARD THING?!?!]

You know what I meant!

[prebeard]

[Oh look you got him to laugh a little, congrats. That expression is more like he's actually your age.]

[blinged]

[SLOWLY. LOSING. COOL. He doesn't get laughed at! He's not supposed to be laughed at! Stop that!]

Oh good, you can actually laugh. What a relief.

[prebeard]

A future ruler of the world shouldn't be so easily ruffled.

[blinged]

I'm hardly ruffled. Simply surprised to find your face isn't stunted.

[prebeard]

You're ruffled.

[blinged]

It would do you well to stop arguing with me.

[prebeard]

Would it?

[blinged]

[n___n oh bitch]

If you're going to insist on tagging along, then we need to learn to work together, don't we?

[prebeard]

I'm merely testing your ability to adapt to the pressures of royalty.

[sits in your big chair!!]

[blinged]

[SCIENCE: Servants are supposed to have corporeal bodies, but Gil figures he may as well test this now.

By sitting on Tokiomi. That's his chair, thx.]

I think I could do that fairly well.

[prebeard]

[DID YOU REALLY

count him embarrassed as hell]

Ah-- How rude!

[blinged]

See? I'm adaptable.

[Not. Moving!!!]

[prebeard]

[shoves!!]

Move.

[blinged]

But I'm comfortable here.

[prebeard]

[ffffine he'll just dematerialize and reappear sitting on your desk!!]

[blinged]

[See? HA. That's his chair.

Though he looks notably small sitting in it properly, alone.]

So did I pass your test?

[prebeard]

No.

[blinged]

[s t a r e s]

[prebeard]

That was childish.

[blinged]

It was a rather childish situation all around. I see no fault in responding appropriately.
