He shook his head. He'd broached the subject once or twice before, but he and Adrian never listened to music in the same room.
"But he can do everything else," said Adrien. "Well, I can't sing, anyway. But I like the idea." He beamed at her and lifted his mug of tea in a toast.

"Oh," said Adrien, blushing at his own literal-mindedness. "Welll it's one of the only places I've been that's not Paris, so I asked. I've also been to Corsica."

"Mm-hmm." His wistful expression turned sour shortly, and he looked away, white-knuckling his mug.

"Oh. I guess I just figured... oh."
