[Something flickers across Linhardt's face somewhere in there, and that's what gets Hubert to turn his attention away for a moment. It's not like he needs to glance back over toward the door to make sure it's locked, but he does anyway just to give them both a moment. No, perhaps it's more accurate to say he's giving himself a moment.

He doesn't need or want any sympathy for this. This is a decision he has to make, and it's one no one else will ever truly understand the weight of. It's one that will undoubtedly eat him alive - even more than Lady Edelgard's absence would have, perhaps.

But he isn't angry at Linhardt, and when Linhardt simply lets it go, Hubert nods and settles.]

Is there anything else you wanted to discuss today?

[Not that he's trying to kick Linhardt out or anything, he's just eager to move the conversation away from this topic.]

[idratherbeasleep]

[It's hardly the first time they've gotten on each other's nerves. Linhardt doesn't worry: So long as he does not endanger any form of Lady Edelgard, Hubert won't hurt him. (It's Lady Edelgard hurting Hubert that Linhardt is concerned about.)]

Yes.

[His voice is muffled by the pillow he's now squishing his head into.]

Your pillow selection is atrocious, Hubert.

[He is absolutely going to fall asleep on your couch if you don't do something.]

[darkbishop]

[That gets another roll of his eyes, and he moves to stand and snatch the pillow in one swift move, assuming Linhardt doesn't try to stop him!!]

If it's so dreadful then you shouldn't be falling asleep here.

[idratherbeasleep]

[Betrayal! Linhardt glares when Hubert takes his pillow, then resolutely digs into the couch. He sleeps on benches, in meadows, under trees...]

Maybe I wouldn't if you weren't so exhausting.

[Is his yawn and his stretch a little more exaggerated than usual? Yes, it is. So is how he turns his back to Hubert and pulls his coat over his head. Go away. Socializing time is over.]

[darkbishop]

[That gets another roll of his eyes and Hubert tosses the pillow aside, back onto the couch.]

I will deposit you outside if I must. You aren't sleeping here.

[Linhardt deserves better, but Hubert certainly isn't going to let him get away with this!!]

[idratherbeasleep]

[The pillow hits Linhardt square in the face. The mage sighs as though Hubert's desire for privacy is a personal affront (because it is, he's tired and he wants to sleep).]

You know, Hubert, it wouldn't kill you-

Hmmm.

I was going to say it wouldn't kill you to be nicer, but knowing you, it might. Fine, fine.

[He sits up and stretches again before finally standing.]

There's a junior scientist on Nova who's interested in my healing magic and is about to get to work anyway. I should go see them.

[They had promised him a look at the X-ray machine. Linhardt yawns and moves towards the door. Oh. Wait. His phone. With no preamble, he heads back to the bedroom and emerges with his own small rectangle.]

Goodbye, Hubert. I had a wonderful time.

[darkbishop]

[It would absolutely kill him to be nice, thanks for noticing!!]

Try not to fall asleep on them.

[He watches Linhardt retreat into the bedroom, but given that's where their phones went, he isn't particularly surprised. The last remark gets a scoff from him.]

Perhaps next time will be just as enjoyable.

[He will never be fun to be around, sorry Linhardt!!]
