[O-Oh. Yes, of course it makes sense for them to hold hands - it isn't as though it's the first time. They just... usually aren't so openly in public and walking together like this, that's clearly what's causing the blush to darken and his heart to hammer like this, right? Hubert isn't one for the spotlight - so putting on a performance like this in public where anyone can see them is what's causing the sudden spike in his pulse. It must be that. What else could it be?
Still, even as he's debating on that, he wastes no time in taking Linhardt's hand. He's wearing black gloves tonight, but there's still something almost relaxing about taking Linhardt's hand like this. He leads the way easily, and by the time they reach one of the tables in the back away from the majority of the others, Hubert's calmed down significantly.]
You look nice.
[A bit simplistic, but it's best to continue playing their parts where they still have the possibility of being overheard, and no one would expect Hubert to be particularly eloquent about this sort of thing anyway, right? Right. It isn't at all because he can't come up with a better way to word it.]
Though I must admit, I wouldn't have been surprised if you simply showed up in your uniform.
[Ah, there we go, that's a little better. The teasing feels a bit more natural, anyway.]
