[ Sylvain... isn't the most patient of people, but at the same time, watching this strange and awkward dance happening around the Loft as people walk on eggshells and try to feel out this new scenario without sharing what their own thoughts and fears are outside their own head...
Well, it's testing what little patience he can muster on a good day.
Especially when he's talked with Claude. And talked with Hilda. And he's pretty sure they've talked to each other, too. And yet he's not sure any of them are sure about where they stand right now. Or where they're supposed to go from here.
And he's pretty sure if they keep trying to do all of this separate and alone, none of them are going to get anywhere but hurt and unhappy.
Which he'd prefer to avoid them all delving into again, as much as possible. So he pulls out some underhanded tricks, some sneaking around, and maybe even some mild, well-meaning manipulation in the efforts of arranging for all three of them to be at the Loft tonight - them under the guise of seeking him out for something he needs their help with.
And if his room is set up for a comfy evening in where they can sit and talk - complete with at least three bottles of wine, just in case - well, that's just a convenient happenstance, right?
At least that's the story he's going with, and he'll stand by it. Even if he has to lock all three of them in until dawn to get some truths out of all of them.
Things are dire when it falls to Sylvain Gautier to wrangle everyone together to talk about their feelings. ]
— the mess; cuz i've been waiting forever, waiting on this to start
