psl ❦ teito ❦ we're here to stay; we're here to stay
[It's been sheer chaos lately, and Hakuren is almost tired. Almost. Seventeen years as an Oak--even an estranged Oak--has left him with a lot of patience and a large reservoir of energy for dealing with tiring things. While the rest of the royal family and its various retainers had flown into chaos at the announcement of Teito's approaching coronation and not calmed down since, Hakuren had maintained the same even pace with which he approached everything. Still, it was hard to not be a little excited. The rebirth of the Raggs kingdom was an amazing thing to think about, and the fact that it was Teito... Hakuren smiled at that thought.]
[There was only a few more hours until the ceremony, but Hakuren was already out of things to do. He was already dressed and even more diligently groomed than usual, Ouka's ladies in waiting were currently descending upon her like a swarm of piranha in order to undress her, redress her, apply her makeup, and style her hair, and his other duties had slowed to a crawl, seeing as he was only a tutor. Faced with a lack of anything else to occupy his attention, Hakuren instead approached the apartment that had been designated Teito's while the Raggs castle was being restored. He let himself in to the sitting room, certain that Teito and his army of newly assigned valets (all of them Celestines, Hakuren was sure) would be too busy to answer the door, then approached and knocked on the dressing room door.]
Teito. [Your friend his here, your majesty.]

Teito, meanwhile, sweeps his arms out to the side and stares down at his boots as though they, personally, had deeply betrayed him, pillaged his homeland and murdered his pets.]
They don't? But they make me-- [Taller, but he catches himself before he says that, a faint blush falling over his cheeks instead. He has to be a commanding, intimidating figure!! Not a shortie who can barely see waist-high to other people! ...It's possible he has something of a complex.]
