[The smile slips when he sees Jasper react somewhat badly to what had been a joke, but he resists reaching out and shaking him.]

Oh, come on now. Do not tell me you are actually worried about that.
standvastig: (But what do you mean?)

[personal profile] standvastig 2022-05-23 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Keep that up and Hendrik is going to have to turn a sad puppy look on him. At the moment, he just looks a little lost on how he should be reacting.]

Jasper, get those thoughts out of your head immediately. You are going to age gracefully!
standvastig: (Hesitation)

[personal profile] standvastig 2022-05-23 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, at least he's responding, even if it's in an angry way. It takes Hendrik a solid moment to realize that Jasper's words actually target him, a period of silence sitting between his friend's comment and his own reaction.]

What is that supposed to mean?!

[He's never been terribly focused on his own looks; at most, he's had to worry about keeping his hair trimmed and face washed.]
standvastig: (Something in the distance)

[personal profile] standvastig 2022-05-24 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
W-- well...

[That's actually better than what he had thought Jasper was saying. After all, how can he possibly argue against the idea that Jasper isn't good-looking?]

I would think that obvious. The others notices as well.
standvastig: (Your unswerving companion)

[personal profile] standvastig 2022-05-24 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
That would be rather unbecoming for knights.

[And certainly isn't a denial of the possibility that they are jealous. He can't exactly claim he's any better, dreaming away about bunny girls advertised for the casino that would be built in the city and staring helplessly at the pictures in periodicals.]
standvastig: (At ease)

[personal profile] standvastig 2022-05-24 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
As you say.

[It's the most clipped reply that Hendrik gives, his frown faintly annoyed as he tries to figure out why Jasper's comments bother him. Maybe he's feeling a little personally attacked.

Again, he shakes himself out of the negative headspace and walks past Jasper to head towards the beachside hut to see what can be ordered.]
standvastig: (Contemplation)

[personal profile] standvastig 2022-05-24 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Hendrik doesn't answer right away, letting his feelings drift away from whatever storminess was brewing inside of him while he looks at the various colorful pictures of drinks on display.]

...I am not familiar with these mixed drinks. They seem more to your liking, with the added fruit.
standvastig: (Steadfast profile)

[personal profile] standvastig 2022-05-24 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[The bartender goes right to start with Jasper's drink, leaving Hendrik staring at the pictures for a longer time. He ends up ordering a "Clara," which as it turns out is beer with lemon in it. Lemon beer. ...It sounds a bit more appetizing than alcohol with coconut milk, at least.

He turns his attention to the snacks next. Fried snacks, grilled pork skewers, cheese and cured meat, and even seafood.

He might be debating ordering all of them.]


Do you want something to eat?
standvastig: (A new lease in life)

[personal profile] standvastig 2022-05-24 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Good.

[Hendrik takes a breath and smiles, his good mood renewed. He cracks his knuckles like he's going to break something, when really it would be more appropriate to think about where his money currently is.]

Then we are of the same mind.

[A tab won't hurt, right? It's not like they're going to dine and dash, considering they are staying the night in the city. He flags down a different bartender to relay their food order to the cooks.]
standvastig: (Your sword and shield)

[personal profile] standvastig 2022-05-25 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
...I think we will be kept busy for awhile with this amount of food.

[Hendrik has the grace to look a little embarrassed as he reflects on how much he just ordered, but it disappears as the bartender returns with Jasper's drink.]

So we best be comfortable wherever we choose to sit.

[That said, his gaze does linger towards the outer edge of the little establishment.]
standvastig: (Contemplation)

[personal profile] standvastig 2022-05-27 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
I would.

[The response comes easily; he had been leaning in that direction as it was, with only a mild politeness holding him back. He oddly enough feels more of a need to be a bit more polite with his (generally) poised and proud friend. It's something that he's become more aware of in the years since returning from abroad.]

I suppose we will not be far from sight should they need to find us. Would you like to find a seat now?
standvastig: (Ahem...)

[personal profile] standvastig 2022-05-28 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Rest," says the one who was swimming as slow as a jellyfish.

[Hendrik smiles to himself as he thinks about the languid, almost lazy sight of Jasper in the water, but doesn't move to follow him just yet; he's going to wait until his drink is ready, though he didn't voice that at all.]
