[Mikleo's eyes don't leave Sorey's.]

Y-yeah. A bit.

[He's gotten scared before but this is a whole other level. Thinking about the enormity of it, of his whole race being enslaved is... awful. So he tries not to think about it. Only little pieces, like how to breathe right now.]

I see... [boy does he feel awkward now] ... a very cute man who I trust with my life. [MIKLEO STOP FLIRTING AND DO THE ASSIGNMENT.] And... a bed, and a shelf full of books.

[Well, the flirt does get him a chuckle from Sorey.]

And what kind of books does the beautiful man before me see?

[And this is the other reason why Jun got sent to brew some tea!!! Apparently!]

Focus on the book titles, if you can.

[Mikleo squints a little. Then he realizes what he's looking at and... snorts.]

"Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night"... "All Hands On Deck"... "Winds of Whimsy"... "Passion and Petticoats"... Do you need me to continue, or should I pick out a few more questionable titles?

[notevensorey]

[The fact that Mikleo is judging his taste in books based on their titles means that he's probably fine, now. He grins at him.]

If you feel like you can breathe again, then you can stop there. Any questionable titles will get heard by our dear, sweet, innocent dove, after all.

You say that like I haven't already browsed through your collection before.

[Says the dear, sweet, innocent dove who is now standing in the doorway with a tray carrying their tea. He'll set the tray on the desk, offering a cup of tea to Mikleo. ]

"Passion and Petticoats" is quite the page turner if you can get past the historical inaccuracies.

Ah, yes, of course.

[Mikleo barely stifles a laugh, which is a lot better than almost crying. He takes the tea with a soft word of thanks.]

I know I couldn't. [Yes, he read a few of Sorey's books, too.] If you're going to feature a real royal in your book, don't set it five years after they were executed. Seems obvious to me.
