Some hours of deliberation later.

Right. I know he's in there. And that he's in there alone.

*stalks down the hall AGAIN to the Emcee's room*

*resolutely knocks on the door*

Emcee, it's Herman.

*when nobody answers he knocks again*

Please, mein Herr, I need to speak with you. I must.

Even Rosie and Giselle couldn't make it go away forever.

*winces as he hears the first knock*

*holds his head in his hands at Herman's voice*

*lets his shoulders slump finally and looks up*

Entrez.

*enters and shuts the door behind him*

*is a little startled at the look on the Emcee's face, but nevertheless proceeds with what he has to say*

I came here to apologize.

First, for walking out on you so abruptly during our talk. That was terribly rude of me, and I'm sorry. But I- I can't lie. I was disappointed, and upset, and to top it off, you made me- nervous. So any combination of the three makes me act rashly, so...there's that.

And second, I must apologize for being so unclear about my... *tries to find the right word* ...intentions, so as to make you misunderstand me, and thus cause all this trouble between us. I don't doubt there has been some misunderstanding of you on my part as well. But one thing you must understand now is that I never expected anything more than- than what you would give Rosie or Kisa or Giselle. And what I do understand is that we both have our secrets and our reasons for keeping them.

If there was anything else I did or said that upset you, then I apologize for those things as well. This has been the worst few days I've ever had for a long time, and I hope you can forgive me and we can move past this. If not, then...I will take it upon myself to...leave.

*lets out a strained sigh, but relieved he said his piece*

*watches you cautiously*

And he's still not sure he believe Herman, about what he says about not caring. But there's only one thing to do when confronted with a confession like this.

*opens a slick silver case* Cigarette?

*an incredulous look passes over his face*

[funny-herman.livejournal.com]

Um...thank you.

*steps forward and plucks a cigarette from the case*

*wonders confusedly as to where this is going*
