[ slightly jumps at that sudden thigh grab, but he's not pulling away ] I'm assuming you didn't mean to grab my leg.

[ ??? pat, pat??? ] Your—

[ ... pat ] —leg. Er.

[ looking down at his hand which is unmistakably on owain's thigh. hm, that's. hm. ] I... did not.

It's fine.

[ puts his hand on top of it ]

[ stares at the hand before linking their fingers together. ] ... Apologies.

You don't have to apologize. [ giving his hand a small squeeze ]

No, but I want to. It must be hard— [ notable pause and grimace. ] —this early in the morning.

[ hm. no. ] Dealing with this. [ nope. ] The... tripping. And—bumping? Falling.

Gerome, I love you. No matter the time of day, I'll deal with anything from you.

No. There's a limit to how much I can ask you to endure. [ a sigh, then he sits up and pulls his hand away. ]

[ reaching back up to grab his hand to stop him for the moment ] You're not asking if I'm offering.

You offer too much. [ but he gives owain a kiss on the hand anyway. ] Now, get up. We both have things to do.

I'll leave you to bath while I wake Minerva?

[ shaking his head ] I change and then prepare breakfast. You bathe.

--Can I bathe with Minerva?

Minervykins bathes in the evenings.

--Alright, I was hoping for time to bond with her more, but perhaps tonight then.

Perhaps, but for now let her rest. She's at her crankiest when she's roused early.

Very well, I'll proceed to bathe then.

[ nod. carefully walks over to the closet and proceeds to undress. ] If you have a request, give it now.

Hm, something with jam?

... I should be able to make some. What kind?

Strawberry, if available. Otherwise, whatever is fine.

[ nodding. aaand now he's finished dressing. turning around to look at owain. ]

I won't be long.

[ walks over and leans in as though he's going to kiss him on the cheek, but pauses IS THIS TOO SOON?

instead he just lightly brushes their foreheads together. ]

Alright.

[ and he lifts his hands to cup owain's face. he only hesitates for a moment before he gives owain a light kiss on the lips.

escaping to the door. ]

[ he freezes.

and then drops to his knees, face covering his red face once gerome is out the door.

HE'S BEEN BEATEN TRULY AND SOUNDLY ]
