Ugh, don't remind me. Can you imagine how many complaints he'd have over just being here? I'd officially never get any rest ever again between the two of you destroying what pieces are left of my ego. It's just fortunate it's so healthy or I might be completely ruined all at your hands.
[ That's played up just as much as her sigh when Claude puts no small amount of Great Suffering into his voice - as if some of their complaints about what he'd done hadn't actually helped since it meant a way to refine his plans. Would he ever give Lorenz the satisfaction of knowing that? Definitely not. Hilda at least has a fair chance of seeing right through that as the act it is, unlike Lorenz who would take it as an opportunity to segue right into a lecture complete with his full name at some point.
This might be more effective if it wasn't for the fondness creeping around the edges of what's said before it's outright increased by Hilda's reaction both over their stuffy noble friend and as he can see the wheels turning in her mind over giving her full creative abilities over what she's going to create for him. Claude's still going to raise an eyebrow right back just for fun. ]
Will it be ridiculous or a work of art? I dunno, Hilda. I don't remember anything you've being being anything but the latter, so I'm not sure whether I should be concerned about what you're planning. [ He immediately screws his face up into an expression of deep thought while looking back at the beads momentarily. ] If you really want a suggestion, though, I don't want it to be something I could lose accidentally out in the desert while working. Maybe a necklace would be best since it has less chance of slipping off.
