[SAYS YOU!
...as soon as he realizes Clover's his partner, his face actually goes hard instead of soft. His hands are balled into fists at his side as he slowly scans the room, spending...at least a few moments just staring at the ink and quill.
But his voice is level when he speaks.]
I see she changed the decor.
[No roses, you know.]

[did the last time go well for anyone.
he does miss it, yes. also, this is certainly one of the first times he hasn't reached out to hold her hand in the face of a troubling game. whoops too pissed.]
That choice is out of our hands.

That choice is out of our hands.
Can? Yes. But how likely do you think that is?
[he seemingly does not mind that she's still glaring when she looks at him. the look on his own face is pretty harsh]

[so he's just staring at her for a few seconds, before he speaks up again]
I'll do it.
[she knows what he means.
does it sound like he's very much made up his mind and expects her to go along with it? yes. (really he knows she won't and he shouldn't but HE DOESN'T CARE)]

Ah, and you think that I'd be all right with the reverse scenario?

[oh look he's getting legitimately angry]
[oh look he's getting legitimately angry]
[the sound of that waver settles him a little. Not enough to make him agree, but enough bring him back from anger.]
