it isn’t dignified to sneak around his own castle. tristan’s aware he’s inexperienced as a ruler and many of his shortcomings all center around his very unmagical, nothing - special - at - all background. for that, yvaine seems to be handling all this very well, but that doesn’t surprise him — she is a star, after all. what it means for him, however, is getting followed day and night by people who want his attention as much as sharing unsolicited advice : all contradictory and enough to slightly waver his foolish optimism and polite smile. so, if he manages to lose the grand cleric to find himself sneaking into his new wife’s chambers, well. . . he feels like he’s entitled to do so, as the king who has diligently attended to his duties all day. ❝ is this a bad time? ❞ he asks at the door, smiling easily with arms wrapped around a box full of treats he knows yvaine likes. ❝ because, you know, there’s a very good chance an overly talkative old man is going to turn this very corner if i don’t come in right now. ❞
