Sessrumnir snorted humorlessly at Palatine’s comment about punching him in the face, his eyebrows raising just slightly as if to say “no kidding”. It wasn’t anything she’d done, of course, so him taking it out on her would just make him a huge a**.

As if he wasn’t that most of the time...

He hesitated once more when she suggested quitting for now, wondering if he really had freaked her out and feeling, well, like an a**. Normally it wouldn’t bother him since typically the world deserved it, but he’d kind of unloaded all that emotional nonsense onto her without giving her a chance to escape.

“Yeah, that’s fine,” he submitted, lifting a hand to prod at his nose once more. It didn’t seem like it would be ruined forever, but he might just go to the doctor’s to get a second opinion. Where would he be if he didn’t have his looks? Okay, that was a bad joke... He really wasn’t that vain... maybe...

“I’ll see you around then... Just remember to keep your elbows in,” he added with one last, weak grin over his shoulder before heading home.
