It is with a deliberate slowness and reluctance that Hubert gives Linhardt his prize, a pin that proclaims proudly ‘exceptional model of behavior’. “Everyone is given a pin,” he explains, though leaves out that each one states something different. “Regardless, you have done well, and people generally… enjoyed your company.”
“Some of the responses noted that you are adaptive, interesting, and they would like to continue conversation with you later. I suppose you have not exposed to them your true, lazy nature.”
Perhaps if Linhardt had left sooner, they wouldn’t have run into Hubert.
That said, the pastries promised at the event’s close made the mage linger a little, and after grabbing one of his own: that is when he ran into his fellow Black Eagle. (He didn’t really want to be there either.) He accepts the pin, at least.
“Is that so? Like some sort of participation prize?” Lin remarks. “Alright.” Turning it around in her fingers: This is remarkably well-made. Where’d he get the time to custom order these?
At the description of their feedback though, the boy’s eyes widen a bit. “‘Adaptive and interesting,’ hm? I don’t think I did anything particularly special.” Then, their arms stretch upwards, a sign they were clearly getting fatigued. “I suppose I didn’t fall asleep on any of them, but that was more their fault for being so interesting to talk to.”
When his arms fall again, he takes a bite of the pastry snagged before walking past the other mage, stopping only to briefly add: “Though, I did ask Seliph about his preferred napping spots—(not that he had much to offer)—if that changes your perspective on this at all.” A nonchalant shrug. “Maybe you’re the weird one for not liking me.”
And then she slips out of the event grounds.
