"I'm looking forward to both, Princess." It would not be impossible to figure him out, it would just take a long time, and guess work. Lenally, for instance, after all these years, could read him quite well, most of the time.<br/><br/>He stares at Lenally, his gaze informing her that her joke was not wanted or warranted at this time. She, used to picking up on those nearly imperceptible swings of mood he occasionally gets, can tell he is actually getting to something close to angry at this point.<br/><br/>He's about to honor the toast, when the Gypsy goes off like a firecracker. Oh, god. Children. He's surrounded by children, with no patience and no long-term planning, and no ability to think through their actions before committing them; children that just wantonly indulge in those pesky emotions, and.... aaaargh. Henrik can feel a headache coming on. His brain<em>hurts,</em>and he is strongly tempted to say fuck it all and go back to his room. But, he tempers his own emotions with logic; he can't let himself go off like that.  This is just a test, a god damned test, and he is going to pass it.
