Gilbert would quite prefer Break thinking of placing that into Break’s vocabulary. It might actually do him some good for once. Head angled itself upward as golden irises landed straight upon the white-haired man situated near him on the arm of the furniture.

“Nosy per usual,” the first words to slip past his lips much rather than answering the hatter. Huff, Gilbert glanced away. “I would much prefer taking a break in silence much rather than that break being obnoxiously noisy. It doesn’t have to do with Oz, though.”

It was lucky his hearing was still as good as ever, otherwise he’d have no idea where to be looking in order to maintain eye contact. Technically he could never tell if he legitimately was, but it’d almost become a perception he could tap into at any time. Simply grinning and ignoring the ‘nosy’ comment, then the play on his own name. Clever Gilbert, trying to make a pun on 'break’.

“Then what?”
