[Dimitri blinks, just as confused as Ashe. But Sylvain had said... that he had flirted with Mercedes for Dimitri? Had he not dropped his name? Or had he just... Been lying.... to get Dimitri to go down to the coffee shop again and....... Realization sets in fast and Dimitri is going to kill Sylvain. That’s it. They’ll open the position again and Ugh he’ll be so relieved to finally be able to clear Sylvain’s garbage out of his office it drives Dimitri nuts –

But back to the matter at hand. Dimitri looks away from Ashe’s face.] That’s, ahem, not necessarily true. It is my fault because I have been seeking counsel from Sylvain about how to [hogh goddess here he goes.] speak with the person I, perhaps, have romantic feelings for.

I realize now that I’ve been misled because I thought Sylvain came down to flirt in my stead. However, [HHHhghH Dimitri clasps his hands over his nose and mouth, so his eyes and the massive blush he is now sporting are still visible.] if it was Mercedes he was flirting with, he misunderstood whom I was referring to.
