"Your Majesty."

The call earned no response from Figaro's King, his gaze fixed somewhere far off into the distance. He was tired - so very, very tired - and had been unable to focus upon the issues presented to him for much of the evening. Edgar would respond with a dismissive wave of his hand wherever possible, or a brief statement where his opinion was required, keen to adjourn his meeting with the councilmen.

Now it seemed that his attention had wandered altogether as he sat slumped in his throne, cheek pressed into a closed fist.

There was a harsh clearing of the Chancellor's throat, followed by a repeat of the call - firmer, this time.

"Your Majesty!"

Only then does the blond level his gaze upon the man before him, warily eyeing the document held between his hands. The broken seal is mostly what held his attention, brows furrowing as he tried his best to make out the source of the crest upon it. Edgar failed to recognise it in good time, which made him somewhat uneasy given the many broad smiles upon the faces of the men around him.

Something was up.

I really hear you - I speak french (not fluently, like you do english, but well enough I can get by) but my main problem is often how fast people talk. But god forbid asking someone to slow down or repeat themselves |:

Oh yeah, I get you, I do. I mean, I've never had a problem with the speed, but I think it's mostly because the people from the region I'm from speak Finnish REALLY fast. so, you know, I keep up, because I speak really fast myself. but you know how like, headphones and stuff can be, the audio is sometimes REALLY horrible so I literally can't make out the words. because, as mentioned, I have a really bad right ear. Brie and I never had a problem speaking face to face because I could SEE her speak, I saw her mouth form the words so it was easy to understand even if I couldn't hear her, but if it's a skype call with no cam, y'know. not so easy.
