[oh! katarina looks a little surprised when she spots binghe in the kitchen - she's wearing a new, not-bloody sweater and has his outer robe folded over one arm.
well, this works out.]
Oh... I was looking for you. [she holds the robe out to him!] Thank you for letting me borrow this, earlier.
[ oh! he almost forgot. binghe offers her a smile, reaching out to take it from her when offered and nodding his head. the difference in tone between this and my other pcs is astounding. ]
Of course - it was no trouble. Something to prepare better for, next time.
[she did not really think past "inviting him for cocoa". she just knows that since he let her borrow his robe, caught her when she almost fell over, and helped solve a murder (even if bedivere wasn't as scary as kray) she feels safe with him!
which is awful. i hope he murders her so i can just be like "surprise" at the next pc set in the kitchen or in front of the fire.]
anyway!! there's some fussing around in the kitchen as he prepares the cocoa, and brings it over, setting a mug down in front of katarina before going to settle in front of the fire as well, giving her a kind smile. ]
How are you holding up, after everything today? Here.
[anyway, she takes the mug smiles back at him before she sips at it, staring into the fire.]
...I don't really feel good about what happened today, but... moping about it isn't going to help. I need to stay cheerful so I can help keep other people's spirits up, right?
Mm. [ his noise is agreeing; binghe leans forward a little against his own knees, resting his cheek on his arm and smiling at her. it's a very warm, fond, and charming look. thank god katarina is dumb ]
I think so. You remind me a bit of a close friend [ wife ] of mine, you know - she would say the same thing. Her cheer's never failed to help me feel better, when things were rough.
I am. [ he always has been, actually. of all the wives in his harem his connection to yingying is the strongest, by miles. ] We've been friends so I was very young.
It's heartening, to know people as beautiful and kind as her exist here. I feel lucky that we've gotten to meet, too.

me, seconds later: oh, right, this is a pc]
Oh, really? You're lucky to have a friend like her! I'll take that as a compliment, then.
[people care about old friends!! so, comparing someone to an old friend is really a compliment of the highest caliber. or something.]

Oh, there definitely are! [she doesn't seem to realize that he's talking about her. rip.] Estelle and Seraphine are both beautiful and really sweet.
Endorsi is, too, but she gets a little embarrassed about it if you point it out! But that's part of her charm.
no subject
While that's all very true, I was referring to you, you know.
no subject
...what? Really?

[ his smile is 100% sincere, boyishly warm and charming. like he's a little embarrassed by it. (he's not.) ]
Absolutely - I hope you will forgive my being forward...

[...well! she knows that the character of katarina claes is pretty, anyway. and binghe has eyes. he's an intelligent guy!
being able to tell a pretty person is pretty doesn't necessarily mean anything. she's the villain character, after all!]
It's sweet of you to say that.
[even if it is just a compliment.]
