suitsaheroThere is only one thing Haurchefant hates more than being the bearer of bad news and that's being the bearer of news when he's not sure whether it's good or bad news. At least with bad news, one can prepare oneself appropriately, know what kind of reaction you're liable to get. But with something like this...
He's given orders to pile the intercessory's fireplace high with logs, to try to make sure that Mikka will not be overly cold, but it seems like the poor Miqote is cold practically everywhere in Ishgard. He comes bearing hot chocolate to go with his... news of an indeterminate sort, having had one of his men fetch Mikka to the intercessory several minutes prior. It's been a habit of his to do so every time he returns from Ishgard, to brief them on how their asylum status is going and catch them up on news of the wider world, when there is any to be had in the isolationist country.
That Haurchefant has asked Mikka to come alone, though, is unusual, potentially giving away that this is no ordinary debriefing. Still, Haurchefant manages a sunny smile for the Warrior of Light as he pushes his way into the room with the chocolate,
"Sorry I'm a bit late! I had to make sure the chocolate was just right," the smile hedges more entirely genuine, touches his eyes as he sets the mug down in front of Mikka, "It is good to see you again, friend, though I suppose it has been only days since last I did. I confess, I've grown too used to it."

"No matter that the union comes from practical origins, I cannot say that I am anything but so very happy to find I'll be marrying you."
Not that he had much time to say anything beyond that gently sweet sort of admission with Haurchefant teasing so, tugging him back into another kiss that he welcomed gladly."

Date: 2021-03-02 03:06 pm (UTC)"And I shall be more than happy to play the role of dutiful husband," there's very clearly a more sexual overtone to that than sweet, though it mellows a moment later, a soft chuckle melting it into warmth, "I'd not thought to marry either the most renowned warrior in the realm or the loveliest adventurer to ever cross my path, nor thought either could be someone I would be allowed to care for so deeply. Truly, I care not for such practical considerations so long as you are certain," and there's the tone again, though Haurchefant is always sincere, it seems impossible for him to stay over-serious for very long, "and well-satisfied, of course."

He's still chuckling softly when he's kissed and it's an interesting give and take, the way that he can both seem forward to the point of forceful, but also just melts whenever Mikka decides to take the lead.
