It's when Ky responds that Potemkin realizes he has no idea what to do in this situation, or what he ever intended to do. What is absolutely out of the question is ignoring it. He would never. With those conditions then there was really only one inevitable course of action. With a heaviness in pressing each key, he puts down his follow up message, the way he's dragging himself making it come off as very curt. Time: 1200 hours. Location: Zepp Horticultural Gardens. It is easy enough to reserve a chamber for a day.
His commander gave one last bit of parting reassurance. "Potemkin, on my honor, if he breaks your heart, nothing will be able to save him."
Potemkin didn't find that very comforting.
When the day comes, he appears simultaneously dressed down and dressed up compared to his usual. Technically there's nothing out of the territory of what an ordinary person would wear on a normal day, but he probably wouldn't have picked these flat shoes and this collared shirt out of the blue. There is plenty of time to pick out and sit at a delicate lacey patio table, because Potemkin always arrives earlier than what was called for. That may have been a mistake this time. Potemkin has to keep his hand balled up, because if he tugs on his bowtie any further then he's certain he'll rip it off.
