Ah, but you do think I'm decorative—just not merely so.

[ 'You think I'm handsome???' Tee-hee. ]

—I didn't mean it like that.

[ Self-deprecating. Well, maybe he did, a little bit, but now that Gustave has pushed back on it he'd rather rewrite history. ]

Only that Clea is the real successor of the family. She's an incredible painter, as I'm sure you've seen.

( gustave flusters a little at the statement, because he knows it didn't quite land how he meant, and verso's rebuke feels like tossing it back at him in some kind of way to either mock or reproach—

but quickly enough comes the amendment, 'i didn't mean it like that'. gustave is quick to fret if he finds that things that he says may offend others. he never means to, even if he very well thinks it, but confrontation is not entirely something that he is well-equipped to deal with. especially not with his sponsors. )

...right. I believe I have seen some of her work around the manor. Maelle tells me she prefers pottery, though?

( but gustave doesn't want to make it sound like he isn't vested in verso, seeing as they are the ones talking to each other, right now. it feels wrong to talk about the one dessendre that doesn't really interact with him. )

When are you planning to set the tracks for the train engine? I would like to — be involved, if you don't mind.
