[The way Hubert looks away, and then hesitates so much in his speech, tells Linhardt much more than his actual words. He doesn't believe Hubert is only glad that he's there to help the Empire. By now he truly believes there's more to it than that.]

I am glad as well.

[He smiles a little, but doesn't reach out to Hubert like he desires. There are a lot of people here, and he doesn't want to put the other man in an uncomfortable position.]

I am especially glad that I have you looking out for me.

[His gaze remains averted at that, though the tension leaves him.]

I will always do what I can for Her Majesty's army.

[That isn't really what he wants to say either, but he thinks Linhardt understands. There's a lot he can't say (won't say?) but as long as Linhardt understands what he means, that's good enough for him.]

[sleepyscholar]

I know you will.

[Maybe in private he could get Hubert to say something a bit more... personal. Out here? It seems unlikely.

He'll just have to take what he can get.]

As the injured are brought here, my abilities will become in demand. I must aid Manuela.

[He smiles softly at that. If nothing else, he knows that Hubert appreciates him helping the army. That will always be true.]

[darkseal]

Be careful, then. Do not push yourself too hard.

[He doesn't need to remind Linhardt of that, they both know that. But it's really the only way he can express his concern right now.]
