03.9 Burden of expectations

"Hm. That's all then, Henry. Head back to your training. Don't slack off." I really don't know now. It seems genuine, this concern of his.

"651 you can keep the coffee on my desk. I heard from 2nd, he suggested a specialized training for you. You'll have to work hard for that. It won't be child's play like what you have been doing these days. It's dangerous too. Are you able to shoulder those things?" Even with me, he was never really annoyed unless I tried to probe him. Though for the first few days back in the city, my presence quite irritated him. That was a little out of character for him. But then his attitude became normal again until the carriage incident. And 2 weeks ago too, he was almost annoyed, but he calmed himself. Now he is normal again.

I wonder, how can I annoy him again? Not as a military commander, that will just be him playing his part. But I want HIM to really be annoyed with me. But I can't do too much, I can't compromise my place either.
