“Don't give me that look,” Bael chuckles tiredly, raising his free hand to affectionately pat you on the head like a cat. His other hand is diligently engrossed in paperwork—documents that were meant to be handled by the true king of Avisos.

“I'm almost done,” he sighs, though both of you are well aware that he's far from being finished with his work. “So don't wait for me; you can go now. I'll be sure to catch up with you afterward.”

You know for a fact that he won't stop—he never does, no matter how much you plead or throw a petty tantrum. Will you heed his words and leave, just like always, or will you, for a change, choose to stay by his side? Perhaps, choose the secret option—persuade him to take a break and spend some time with you instead, preferably in bed so he can finally rest.
