    Summary

    The band switched to a faster, upbeat tune and Ferdinand watched as he picked glass out of his gloves, as the man escorted Hubert off the dance floor and continued to devour his attention. He laughed and touched Hubert's arm with his ungloved hand. Hubert rarely allowed those within the Black Eagle Strike Force (whom Hubert once referred to as family) to touch him, yet alone a stranger! In response, Hubert stared at the offending hand but did not brush it away, and the bile rose up farther into Ferdinand's throat.

    What could be the root of these feelings? Ferdinand often watched Dorothea dance with men and women alike, frequently leaving Ferdinand to ponder the substance of his glass. It was foolish, Ferdinand had many blessings to be thankful for, he had his health, his position within the Empire, his many friends and his faith. Yet, he never felt a fiery storm cloud his vision around Dorothea, nor did briars coil around his heart and plant their roots until they drew blood.

    Summary

    I wonder if Hubert would like it... flushing, the Prime Minister shook his head, setting the vial aside with unintended force. What did it matter if Hubert enjoyed it? It's not as if it were his to wear. Or that Ferdinand wanted him to like how he smelled. Of course not. Preposterous.

    ...He did have matters of business to attend to with the Minister of the Imperial Household. It was not urgent, but what was the harm in going now?

    It is just for business, he assured himself as he rose, smoothed out the creases in his jacket, adjusted his hair, applied a dollop more of the cologne, and departed his quarters to attend to his 'just business'.


    Laughing pleasantly at a jab that would have insulted him deeply five years ago, Ferdinand passed him to take a seat in the chair he always sat in, when something gave Hubert pause. Following closely, Hubert sat at his desk, leaning forward on instinct alone.

    Ferdinand smells...

    “...quite refreshing?”


    Ferdinand is gifted cologne from Lorenz. Hubert notices.
