Sacris Solemniis

[Teapot before him, a plate of pastries beside it, Braxiatel sits at the kitchen table with Strindberg's Ett drömspel open in front of him. Braxiatel stirs sugar into his tea, and a faint smile crosses his face as his eyes flicker to something in the seat to his left.]

[He leans forwards and pours a second cup of tea, then lifts it up to hand it over, the smile widening.] I don't know what you mean by 'ulterior motives,' Comman—

[Braxiatel's fingers tighten on the cup before he can let it go. For a moment, it hangs there, hoping for a hand that cannot take it.]

Ah.

[It is a quiet realization.]

[Braxiatel sets the cup down, away from him. He leans back in his chair and picks up a scone to eat.]

[Irving tries to mask his problems to keep them away from his friends; with strangers, it is a given that he will not discuss them.]

Nothing of particular concern. [Braxiatel dunks his scone in the second teacup rather than his own. If it is there, it needs to be put to good use.] There are quite a few strange noises about. More, I suspect, than there are actually monsters.

[ BUT ROXAS IS SHOUNEN HERO HE MUST BE FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE EVER!!1 by which I mean he will deal with this utter shutdown, he needs to learn to mind his own business. :|

The noises comment gets a slight grimace. ] Tell me about it.

It's something of a shame I forgot to bring any headphones.

Circumaural. All the better to block out the noise.

But then what about the real monsters?

Is it so much easier to notice them with your hearing when you hear so many false starts?

Well... [ not really ] Sometimes it's the only way you can.

I imagine so. But the peace of mind would be nice.

[Remembering himself, Braxiatel gets to his feet and offers his hand] Forgive me, the circumstances distracted me. Irving Braxiatel. How do you do?

[ Roxas shifts the pretzel to his other hand so he can give Brax's a good shake. ]

Roxas. Nice to meet you, Irving.
