The way that Cecilia tips boldly and carelessly backwards onto the sofa makes Donovan's smile broaden and he puts one hand palm-down against the cushion on the other side of her so he can look down into her face. "Uh-huh," he retorts lightly, "So why's that my problem? Instead of Merry's or Gregory's? Or Henry's?" Adding that final name was a petty misstep and he knows it immediately, but he can't exactly take it back.
Instead, to divert from his near-blatant jealousy, he moves to poke her the girl's forehead lightly. "...You haven't congratulated me, you know? I was almost the Murder King."
