Robert was surprised at Susan's remark, he wasn't intending to sneak up on her, though he understood her shy nature and decided to let it pass.
His attention glided through Susan's words as if he came personally to greet her.
" Oui, madame. I possess the fortunate luck of being followed by this companion of I " he said, crouching down towards his leopard, stroking it gently on its back.
The leopard answered with trust and docility, it calmly let itself to be stroked upon.
" You definetly should, cheri " he said
" I was certain you'd enjoy this little corner of paradise " he intonated, turning his attention back at his conversation partner: Susan
Before he could add anything else, he witnessed Achille's sudden appearance into the conversation. Robert imagined him as possessing a devious charm that'd wither even the most resistant of flowers making their life in the lowest and murkiest of cesspools.
But he didn't interrupt his speech, or add any ironic remark over it. Robert admitted, in his own mind, that Achille's words reeked of truth, especially about his dearest Commonwealth.
A well known rarity for him to admit such blasphemy, but entirely existant.
Instead, Robert decided to detach himself from the conversation, and transferred his attention to his little, furry companion.
It was only a matter of an eye blink, though, until his attention was forcibly re-attached back to the conversation, by Susan's words.
" Susan cheri, I'd dare say we relate to one another. Very much actually. " he said raising his stance back up and fixing his hat's position
" We are self-exiled individuals. Our distrust for the outside world and the idea that our prosperity can be more easily achieved on our own lead us to abandon society. It is only our common interests and ideologies that gathered us together. And in time, we learned to trust and rely on each other, like a family "
" Perhaps this is also where our similarity ends " he said, trying to emphasize on the shy and reclusive nature Susan possessed, in contrast with the amount of trust the other Commonwealth members had for each other.
" Perfectly understandable. And you shouldn't excuse yourself for granting exquisite levels of precaution. " he further added, so as not to worry Susan
" Back to the subject. Disband the Commonwealth and what do you have? I dare say you will end up with exiles unable to fit in any community. I at least, personally refuse to have myself associated with the common genetic strain of society and the cesspool it came to be " he said, his disappointment and discontent for society, especially the society engulfing the Houses, was obvious.
Robert temporary turned his back on his conversation partners, only to allow his footsteps to drag himself away from them. It only took five precise and exact footsteps before he suddenly turned himself back in a hasty manner, focusing his entire attention on them and outbursting a calmer, serene tone
" But, worry not of your ramblings, cheri. We are a family, if you ever feel to vent of your pain. You shall always find a shoulder to weep on " he muttered on a radically calmer tone
