With the Arséne situation...mostly handled at the moment, Zachaël attempted to turn his attention ELSEWHERE and not dwell too much on how that boy was going to be the cause of his first unsightly grey hairs. He would almost rather shave his head than have any of those on his head.
Almost.
Thankfully before he could tell the boy that his methods were entirely counterproductive to the word CLEAN, Jina stepped in and handled the situation with grace and maturity. Ah, bless this young witch. Her and Celine may be the saving graces to his luscious locks yet.
Know who did not find the humor funny? This man, and he shot a cursory sort of exhausted glance towards the newest youth to step into the Owl Post. Perhaps if the French import were not making a mess of his floors he would have taken it a bit more in stride, but as it were...Zachaël was colored a dreary beige of unamusement. This look was oftentimes mistaken as a smolder, but he could assure anyone that that was not the case now. Especially since it was all to clear she had not stepped into his establishment with the intention of being a paying customer. Though Mackenzie's attempts at feigning such was...almost admirable.
Almost.
Again. His floors were soaked and Arséne was causing an absolute scene.
"Afraid preferences for tea and biscuits were not up for discussion while making the appointment," he replied to her inquiry somewhat dryly. "So just ensure there is a variety available and that the sugar and cream are not lacking either. The cups themselves should be clean...though I did catch Nuria over there earlier so I am hoping she has not deposited rat and mice tails or entrails in them like she did last week. They'll obviously need a good scrubbing if this is the case."
This was, of course, said as casually as though he were describing the weather. If anything there was an almost endearing quality to his voice one might hear from a parent describing something mischievous that their child had been up to.
