send i care about you for my muse's reaction | accepting

"undoubtedly, dearest," his reply came quick & easy, head tilted back for the boy's easy access as he fastened the lord's half-cape. his eyes met loras' in the giant ornate mirror they stood before, having lightened to more green than blue in the sunlit corner of the chambers. he felt a sudden wave of genuine affection, watching loras simply help him dress as though he still was but a squire. neither of them seemed to mind ; in fact, loras always would find something to complain about regarding his appearance whenever he had been assisted by anyone but him. usually, it would either be the color choices—loras did dislike him in too dark shades, said he looked like a wraith—or his hair having been parted wrong ... but there had been even more bizarre bemoanings as well, no doubt.

hence it was still wiser to place himself in his ever-attentive knight's familiar hands, whether the reachlander saw it as a persisting duty or his most joyous recreation.

loras' own reflection, however, was pointedly devoid of joy, and renly already knew where this conversation was going ... he knew his knight wished to try & talk him out of mingling with the smallfolk again. his concern was touching, however misplaced. the stag's lips curled upwards when their eyes met again—a modest smile, meant to reassure rather than to dazzle.
