"...Yup." Gideon nodded, sighing through gritted teeth. He hadn't really intended to go through his whole schedule, had expected her to get the point earlier...but it seemed he and Luciana were both determined to keep up the communication issues on either side of this exchange.
That his suspicions were correct did bring a sardonic smirk to his face. At least it wasn't just him that was having troubles getting her to even give one polite line of conversation. "Oh, nothing." Choosing the cloth she selected he put the other back in the chest, patting it down with his hands and smoothing out any creases before shutting the lid and locking it again, rising to his feet.
"Well, as pleasant as this has been, I need to stay here and select accessories. I won't bore you with it, so feel free to go downstairs. Thank you for the statue." Desperate to be alone and not in this awkward half-argument, Gideon bid her farewell and stepped into the back of the room, going to open another box and hoping she might take a hint.

GIDEON
You claim to be virtuous, but you're a liar
And you'll feel the heat of the flames
And you'll feel the heat of the flames
