Mathièu & Ibelin

[antonnachzehrer]

Alejandro sighs. "That doesn't mean he hates you, Mattie," he says, trying to sound encouraging. "He was probably just surprised to see you and ran because he was scared."

{It was cloudy last night, so unfortunately we didn't get to see them. :< But I did make snickerdoodles. :3}

"But we were doing so well before," he says weakly, unable to believe Alejandro. "I thought it was mutual, but I must have been mistaken."

(Sad. But snickerdoodles does make it better. I made experimental smoothie where I threw in whatever I had at hand. XD.)

Alejandro frowns, his brow furrowed as he thinks for a moment on what to say.

"Mattie," he voices eventually, "what did Ibelin think of us, the circus?"

{Ugh, today has been a terrible day. I had to leave work after an hour because my head was spinning and I kept feeling like I was going to pass out, and then I slept until just now. And I still have to make a birthday cheesecake for Elspeth.}

He shrugs. "Only that he thought it seemed like you did not like him. That was all he told me," he says.

There is silence as the two of them are caught in their own thoughts, Mathieu's face lost and sad, Alejandro's thoughtful, and after a minute or so Mathieu looks up at his father.

"...What do I do, dad?"

(I'm sorry; are you feeling a little better? :/ Have you been tiring yourself out lately?)

Alejandro pauses again, trying to choose his words carefully before he says them.

"I think," he starts out slowly, "that, if you can, you should find Ibelin, and ask him if he left because he thought that we didn't want him here. And if that's the case..." He gives his son a little smile. "I think a good slap upside the head and a bombardment of words synonymous with idiot would not be out of place."

{A bit. Hopefully it will pass soon. :/ No, I don't think so. But Raquel was sick earlier this week so maybe I caught that and am trying to fight it off. I didn't feel sick, though}
