[Watching that too, even as he's beating the other person on the end of the line with a metaphorical funny stick ("Yes, yes, just get it done, Jesus, yes, don't fuck with me, no, yes").
Following LaRue for just one moment before doubling back to Hikaru.
Well.
Hanging up now, with an irritated noise, then he's going back to his laptop. He does this often enough after a phone call: it is easy to assume that his annoyance has been generated by his work.
This has nothing to do with his work.]
will not put time because so lazy to think what time it is, it's clear anyway: this is lunch
[ This is where Riley is glancing over at Jessiah to note all that.
And this is Riley discreetly slipping out that lovely phone you issued to him, Mr. Vice, so that he can type out a text.
It is best, after all, to be discreet wherever something concerns their beloved Blade King. ]
TO: JESSIAH VICE I smell trouble afoot, Mr. Vice. Be it so bold of me to seek your input on this: How far gone do you think our dear friend, the Blade King is?
[And of course, Jessie doesn't even lift an eyebrow or wonder why Riley's doing this. He's texting back, and from the way it might look to anyone else, especially since Fenris is materializing and bringing out the Card's laptop for him, it's because somebody messaged him with Vice-related matters.]
TO: RILEY FALNER If you check the dictionary right about now, Riley, I'm pretty sure you'll see his picture beside the word "gone".
[ You are so resourceful, Jessie. It's one of the things that he loves about you.
Taking a sip now, from his tea, appearing completely uninterested in the Awkward Exchange Between Those Two. Tapping a finger on his lips now as he types up a response, because this is one way of keeping him from actually smiling. ]
TO: JESSIAH VICE This is going to be terribly painful to watch, but it's rather interesting how Mr. LaRue seems to be at an utter loss as to what he's doing wrong. I don't think the boy knows. Not just yet.
TO: JESSIAH VICE That, and the simple matter of how Mr. LaRue's convinced himself that he is in the State of the Unrequited.
[ The boy has been sticking close for the last three years, doing everything he can to support the Blade King in his own manner. It's not quite Rethe Kyriff angsting over one Aidan Clayce, thank goodness for that. For one, the boy doesn't have as much time as the angel.
For another... well.
Riley's turning his gaze away as the Joshua excuses himself from the Hall. Those shoulders looked a little too stiff, but Hikaru's compromised and likely wouldn't have noticed. ]
[Capitalization for emphasis. Of course Hikaru Shinta's a blimey idiot who "doesn't want to ruin a good thing". That sort of resolve means that he's blinded himself to the possibilities on purpose.]

[For Hikaru, anyway, but he's the one who stands to lose the most. The rest of them are just going to be on the sidelines of this whole mess.]
