[Reim is loath to think it's convenient that the city needs to be put back together after everything. There's been so much loss, they've all felt it—but having something to do after Pandora is dissolved keeps everyone's minds off those things, more or less, so. It's a little convenient. It keeps people busy, himself included.
Most people, anyway... Reim has more than enough to do, from ironing out the details of the relief efforts (it's-not-Pandora-but-it's-mostly-the-same-people is not a viable organization name, the struggle) to dealing with people on a much more individual level, including trying to integrate the remaining Baskervilles— he's never been more stressed in his life!!
Unlike some people apparently on a quest to ruin the only peace and quiet he has in his schedule - locking himself in his office to eat meals - in between everything else. It's just after he's been to check up on Duke Barma, who is surprisingly... robust, if bedridden, and he's escaped that harrowing exchange only to find his office invaded and some kind of food out. It smells like food. That's not the lunch he ordered??
He sighs. It must be every day of his life at once. He will address... the office:]
Xerxes, come out of there.
[he doesn't even know where, but he Knows it's somewhere.]

The night's young, unlike you. [Old man... He doesn't have any room to call him that, but whatever. He takes his free hand to lead him out of the office.] Did you dream of me~?
no subject
No. [He's honest,] Perhaps later, when I can go to bed properly.
no subject
[Not like... his old chain knight, though. Anyway, welcome to this lounge area that exists, he laid out a nice table in front of a couch that he probably stole from another room. It's probably the coziest it can get for old furniture that's probably meant to be antiques.]
no subject
[He's amused, and Break is a big loser, so everything is fine. Except for the fact that Break apparently felt it necessary to move furniture around... why? This whole mansion is available, why did he do that!! The greatest mystery of Reim's life is everything Break chooses to do, all the time.]
Is this where you've been all afternoon? [Rearranging rooms... sweet, but mysterious.]
no subject
[Let him have this... His only other activities are bothering Barma or artfully dodging Lily whenever she enters the same room. Break detaches himself so he can lay down on the couch, positioned so he ca just lay across Reim's lap when he sits.]
I thought this would be nice.
no subject
It is nice. Don't get moody; come here.
[Stupid old man... let him kiss.]
no subject
I missed you. [it's been a few hours,]
no subject
Well, as promised, I've cleared my evening schedule just for you. So... I'm all yours.
[He's just not picking up this book to read it, is he? No, not while he can indulge in affection first... yes.]
no subject
For now, it's not so bad. He's just not leaving it at one kiss, instead going in for another almost immediately after the previous. One turns to two, and two turns to three, then he remembers about how he freed his evening to do something else. Whoops.]
You know, I think I'm doing everyone a public service... this will keep you sane, as opposed to how you usually spend your nights.
no subject
Working... or with you and half a dozen different sweets. Hmm.
[He's saying only the kissing is different now, see. Very nuanced.]
You're certainly... [he tried, really, but he can't say "you're doing ME a service ;)))" because he's too Victorian. Ahem.] Well, I'm very relaxed.
no subject
It's the least I can do, after all the times you've relaxed me. [This could have been a sweet statement, but you know he's gotta go in for the teasing.] Did you like me back when I asked for those massages, Reim~?
no subject
Wouldn't you like to know! I should just let you wonder forever.
no subject
That'd be so cruel! I liked you back then. It isn't so hard to say.
no subject
Maybe for you, but you've proven time and again how much you like to make fun of me. [babe.....he knows u] Maybe I did.
no subject
I make fun of you because you rarely have any fun. Would you like me if I acted like anyone else?
[Consider: his GREAT personality]
no subject
He sighs, covering one of Break's hands with one of his own.]
No... probably not. That isn't permission to be as annoying as possible on purpose— but I'll give you that point.
[Bad... and oh,] To be honest, I don't remember exactly when.
no subject
I think... for me, it was seeing you hard at work after some time... I always knew you would do well in Pandora, but you went beyond expectations. [He hums, considering how that’s probably too sappy, then:] I almost thought you would be a brat forever!
no subject
That is very sappy, though; Reim hums in place of raising a critical eyebrow. Very interesting!! He'll remember this sap.]
We can't all be middle-aged. [He pretty much is, though.] If all it took was doing your paperwork for you, we could have gotten this over with years ago.
[The time wasted? The inefficiency?]
no subject
If I had distracted you so early on, you would never have been as productive as you are now... You'd always think of how much you're in love with me. I was doing the world a favor!
no subject
Oh, I don't know. I think I'm rather good at multitasking. Surely I could come up with a good system to handle everything at once.
[he is serious]
no subject
You are not making a schedule for when you can think about how much you've fallen for me.
no subject
How do you know I haven't already? [....actually, wait, more seriously:] I haven't. Don't start.
[Hmph...]
no subject
It's not just fair, because you're on my mind all the time...! [he's kicking his legs now, like a mature adult.] If I can't contain it to a timetable, neither can you.
no subject
Perhaps you should consider a hobby. [Ha, jokes. But don't, because heckling and crawling in cabinets is bad enough.] You're being very persistent about this... I do love you, you know.
[Just in case that was not clear?? He'll just get to the point with his sap, please don't short circuit and die.]
no subject
I... [He starts, slowly sitting up and lowering his "gaze" to Reim's shoulder while he adjusts his hair needlessly. Even blind, it's ridiculously hard to properly face him during something so serious.] I love you too, Reim. You mean the world to me.
[There... enjoy the one time he's not following up with something stupid to make it anything less than what it is.]
