Simon, for example, would understand perfectly. He'd raise a brow, ask if you're doing fine. Suggest a break, for tea or just fresh air. When you refuse, he gently takes the paper from you even while you frown at him and try to take it back. He then ushers you with him to take a walk if it's still bright outside or just to your room if it's nighttime. He wants to be firm with you, but he's not a bully. He just cares a lot.

Anthony, however, is absolutely a bully... And a mother hen. The second he sees you wincing or just having any sign of pain, he's calling it. He will do the paperwork for you, you don't have to worry, it's not even that urgent, he's sure. He won't let up and probably make your headache worse as a consequence. If you're at your house, the fool would think your servants would listen to him over you and try to get your butler to help him to take you out of your office. Your regular butler would sooner shoot him point blank than go against you and risk losing his job- Balor tho, would be delighted in forcing you out of your office and convincing Anthony he has to keep you from going back in.

Benedict I think is a softer kind of bully. His intentions are good and he's not as forceful as Anthony is. At first, he tries to draw your attention to something else. Ask about your world, bring a trinket he can't quite decipher to you or ask you to play a song you like- he tries to distract you, to bribe you. It usually works. When it doesn't, he does become a bully. He takes your papers, he holds them above your head until you agree to take a break with him. If you try to climb him and take the papers from him, he will be happy to carry you out of your office as his new prisoner.

Colin is the most patient. However, this doesn't mean he is soft or will just let you suffer. He will bring you tea and water, silently coaxing you to drink it. Some snacks that he asks to share with you. If none of that works, he will gently ask you to let him read the paper for you or give you his opinion, which you usually accept simply because he asks it so sweetly and gently. When you don't even understand what he's saying and it just makes your head throb harder, you admit defeat and let him guide you away from your office.
