[imperiator]

"It's open!" Peony shouted.

He knew who it was. Jade had prepared him. He was expecting Gailardia, but that didn't mean he was going to act like it was anything but a surprise. He busied himself with feeding Luke a carrot, giving the impression of barely paying attention to his visitor.

"Your Majesty." Guy approached the Emperor, stopping on the way to kneel and offer Aslan a scratch behind the ear. He felt vaguely awkward in the situation but showing it was not going to help. He was pretty good at lying, and now was a great time to put that skill to use.

"How are you today?" Pleasantries and light conversation were always a good start.

[imperiator]

Peony sighed, and that sigh held a mixture of good humor and impatience. He looked away from Luke to give Gailardia his full and undivided. attention.

"We're not going to beat around the bush like that, are we? We both know you're not the one who should be asking that question."

Peony's attention wavered as Luke impatiently nudged his knee. Peony laughed, grabbing another carrot.

"My Luke is so needy and demanding. He's become so spoiled it's a full-time job keeping him satisfied."

Guy didn't flinch under the scrutiny, but that was probably due to habit. Peony could be unnerving when he gave someone his full attention, and Guy did have a guilty conscience. Instead of looking away, he smiled a little awkwardly and patted Aslan one more time before finishing the few steps over to Peony and kneeling.

Times like this he tended to slip into formality without noticing. It was safer to treat things gently and delicately. He'd done enough damage, he felt.

"My apologies, Your Majesty. My behavior recently was appalling and inexcusable." To put it mildly. He looked up from the floor where he knelt, watching Luke demand Peony's attention. Unnerving as the rappig's name would always be, he was pretty used to it. He couldn't think of what to say to that comment about Luke's behavior, so he looked down again and said nothing. The comment was too pointed, and he wasn't up to responding with banter or jabs. He was a little scared to, after his break down in front of Jade.
