Wh-- There wasn't anything sweet about that at all!
[Flustered? Hubert? Nah...
Okay, he totally is. It's hard for him to help, though. Even if she meant nothing by it, Pascal getting ideas in her head that could lead her down a track of cynicism... Well, he had enough of that for the both of them. And for all the times he denies consoling her, or trying to do anything that would help her on an emotional level, there's twice as many where does whatever he can.
Of course, the fact that she's brushing it off, nudging him, and being -- well, Pascal doesn't help. Or maybe it does. There's a slight bit of relief that comes from seeing her bounce back and remain as bright as ever. But then again--]
I wasn't being "pissy" about it, either! I fail to see how adhering to my... duty as "husband" means that I'm being particularly unpleasant.
[Which, of course, is Hubert-speak for "Don't say I'm being pissy because I'm trying to look out for you!" But... It's Hubert, and he's so bad at expressing his feelings to her properly. Or at all. He gets a little more flustered when it comes to the pet names, and even saying that he's in that role, especially when knowing Pascal treats it like a game. She doesn't know he's considered more than this for them, and he can't let on to it, either.]
