a stunning sense of humor—this is how his father would describe sebastien’s fashion. much for the man’s distaste, he seems to be careless about looks on purpose: he has the face of his mother, got taller than his father, but dressed poorly. for someone who had been hearing things about his clothes or accessories his whole life, when his eyes lie down on his hat right after she takes a look at it, he can only chuckle lightly, taking absolutely no offense to it. “i’ve heard much worse,” he says, rather amused, running his hand through his long-ish locks and pushing them behind his ear. another thing that his parents would complain sometimes… but does this boy ever hear?
lifting his sight towards her as she continues to talk, he tries to pay attention closely: brown eyes fixed on her clear ones, head slightly tilting to the side as comes some accusations, eyebrows still raised. he looks younger, as he always does—features softening as he presses his lips together, doing his best to continue to hold a serious and attentive look. he would’ve done this with anyone, you see… but being her, it wouldn’t be a lie to say he is trying to do the same he did when she bursted into his flat with news. “so… you’re done?” he doesn’t help asking, a small smile curling the corner of his lips.
“hm… not a stalker,” he starts then, listing it on his fingers, “coincidences are not logical, yet can happen, i was told…” lifting his eyes to her once again, he furrows his eyebrows, “sixth most embarrassing? are you that embarrassing to have done five things worse than that?” surely he looks impressed—for him, that was more embarrassing than everything he’s ever been through… then again, this very moment is becoming a close one and he isn’t one to normally feel uncomfortable with anything. “not a creep either. why are you only supposing bad things? i thought i had treated you… good?” he asks, frowning lightly. this moment is definitely the most embarrassed he’s been, reaching the rooftop. “could’ve been worse, i think? we both could’ve been matched with… i don’t know… i don’t really have standards…” he ends up in a mutter.
she wasn’t even talking to him. it wasn’t uncommon for her to speak with herself, even switching languages at every word spoken sometimes, and people have learned not to care -- she never thought they did anyways; the point is, she wasn’t talking to him -- so why is he meddling? and why does she care if he is meddling? gabriela glares at the male, truly tempted to drop a ‘no, i am not done’ but she does not, and only keep her stormy eyes on him as he speaks. he sounds much like a child, too stuck on the little details, and she can not help but to furrow her eyebrows herself, watching as he goes on commenting on every little bit of information.
“are you truly asking if you have pleasured me?” the wild haired brunette questions, mouth falling agape in severe surprise at his words. this guy was unbelievable. “you have, if you must know...!” she still answers, adverting her eyes from him, still frowning a little. “i have not asked of your standards. the minister’s.” to whom their own’s worries and plans didn’t seem to mind at all. granted gabriela’s were unclear, but still -- who walks over a person like this?
the brunette shakes her head, running her fingers through some unruly hair coming out of her bun, pressing her fingertips against her skin, before letting out a heavy sigh. “now you know my name then.” her true name, and it did not make her relax one bit, but, logically, this was not a worry she should have in a situation like this. “i suppose it matters. since we are to wed, and all. unless...you are against it? surely we can fight this? what would be done otherwise? use imperius to make us say ‘i do’?”
