Krai never entered Jill's room; he barged in like a tornado, bringing in his wake an accident waiting to happen (that, more often than not, did).
Jill never paid Krai's entrances any mind; he continued diligently with his paperwork, nodding his head from time to time at Krai's inane rambling, and occasionally, after a particularly bad rant, concluded with an invitation down to the pub where they both got piss drunk and Jill could stop pretending and cover it all up with the convenient excuse of alcohol.
Today Krai barged in with enough ferocity for the makings of a particularly bad rant, and Jill patted his purse absently to ensure that he did in fact have enough gold to get well and truly smashed. He didn't.
Krai paced several laps around the carpet like a caged animal. Jill sighed, dipped his pen in the inkwell, and started another page.
“Jill,” Krai said, “You like men, right?”
“Yes,” he replied, adding an scrawl to the paper and deciding that he was going to get smashed whether he had the money or not. Krai paced another lap around the carpet.
“Jill,” Krai said, “What do you think of Darres and Yujinn?”
“Isn't that,” asked Jill, “a bit of a non-sequitor?”
Jill knew Krai was frowning at the back of his head when he didn't get a reply.
“This is awfully unlike you,” he said, turning around in his chair. “What's tonight's topic, or haven't we decided yet?”
“Tonight's topic is that we haven't decided yet.”
Jill blinked. “Do you need help making a decision?”
“Yes,” said Krai, strode two steps forward, and kissed him.
“Isn't that,” gasped Jill when he pulled away, futilely kicking his brain back into functional mode, “a bit of a non-sequitor as well?”
“No,” Krai growled, “I've made my decision,” and kissed him again.
Jill decided he would probably have a lot more fun that night if he didn't get smashed. His purse would appreciate it, too.

Note: “Jill,” Krai said, “You like men, right?” - At one point in one of the early volumes, Jill is seen muttering, "This is why I don't date princes: too much drama." Though I know now Jill is not canonically gay, I (for some unknown reason) thought it might be interesting to take this line not only as an indication of his sexuality, but also that others - Krai, at the very least - know about it. ...This point didn't really follow through in the drabble very well. e_e
