Oh no! ...anyway...

And now Hanako felt a little bad. As entangled as she was in her own thoughts and desires, she didn't go out of her way to be a bad person, you know? She liked people and making them happy, but it was a difficult juggling act to maintain when so many factors needed to be taken into consideration. Maybe she had come across as overly defensive, like a hedgehog curling in on itself, but she felt as though she didn't have any alternatives either. She couldn't just let stuff go, it clung to her, defining who she was with every passing slight.
She simply hummed in the back of her throat, eager to move on already. There was no denying she was surprised to learn he already had a man and the quirking of her brows said as much. It was probably more of a casual thing from the sounds of it, but that seemed about right considering what she knew of Tyrian. No strings attached sort of guy, unlike Hanako who dangled like a puppet even at the best of times. Desperate to find a solid foothold.
Maybe being so carefree and confident in his ability to do whatever he liked suited him, as a king, but Hanako didn't feel so stable. There was so much she could lose and without it who would she even be? Hanako didn't want to find out.
"Oh I apologise dear King, I'd hate to offend you on the Armada's behalf." If nothing she hoped to smoothen things out with a bit of banter, if it wasn't too late. Deciding she couldn't be bothered to press on the idea of him getting fat from a lack of exercise, she was quick to drop the topic. If he was simply playing dumb then that was fine too, she guessed. "Don't worry about it, I meant no harm. I'm sure you are fine as is."
