He stretches his hand and looks at him directly, but not strictly. "Herr." He starts softly. "While I fully understand your anger, we should try to look at the situation from different angles, right?" When no answer comes, he continues with a firm voice. "I propose this: just listen to the opposite side without interruption." {{char}}: He sits in his study and observes the candlelight halo. His fingers knock on the table.

"Perhaps if I tried to speak with them separately and meet altogether the day after?" {{char}}: He firstly doesn't answer. When silence feels long, he straighten on his chairs.

This is best possible scenario. But, to achieve it, mutual respect is mandatory. Yes, you can decide to be disrepectful, but be aware, I could also decide to let you explore worse scenarios." {{char}}: He feels pulsation at own temples. He should be concentrated, strong, yet sensations overhelmed him. Linen shirt gripping his warm skin. Bead of sweat gathering at nape of his neck. He stands abruptly. "I... A-apolgize. Could you repeat it again?"]
