“Gasp!!”
Without warning the noise sounded out-- it’s a sharp, almost guttural (it comes from the heart! cioccolata’s oh-so passionate about this particular subject!) with a faint twinge of shrillness. He had both hands up towards his face with the pair clenched into loose fists all the while, as well. Why, it’s almost as if Cioccolata was... actually offended at the very notion!
He’s nearly on the edge of his seat (well, close to it. the tips of his toes, actually-- he’s not sitting... that would be completely and utterly ridiculous!), nearly implying that he’s ready to steal a few punches at Tiziano for implying such a heinous thing in the first place. Instead, though, he remained in his somewhat... uncomfortable (to look at, maybe! he’s comfortable, truth be told! very, very, very comfortable, actually!) pose as he stared at him-- wondering if there were more that needed to be said.
A punchline, maybe...? It sure seemed to be setting up for one.
“...”
So... um, ah... nothing? Wow, that’s disappointing.
And a little bit upsetting, too.
“... I cannot believe,” he started in a whisper, barely audible with one finger extending itself to point itself accusingly at the assassin while his eyes narrowed into tight, little slits, “that you’d say such a thing...!”
