[It honestly was just another showcase of Richard's inexperience when it came to relationships of any kind. While he was not a stranger to conflicts it ought to be apparent that he has never been in a situation like this. In his experience interpersonal quarrels and what not were usually solved by the rank one possessed in the overly complicated hierarchy among the nobles. How would one react to offense or insult would depend on whether they were standing higher or lower than the other one. That or they would take it out on each other with blades.
But there was no ranks between them here. No hierarchy or order. They were supposed to be equal after all. And thus.. Richard did not know what was the appropriate reaction. Somehow he doubted that Silco would have any real interest or use for apologies. So what else could he do but leave? Allow his lover to have his space and quell his anger without him there to ignite it any further. Is this not what is the expected course of action?
So, when Silco speaks up again, telling him to stay, he turns his head to look over his shoulder at the man, confusion apparent on his face. But despite all that he did not budge in front of the other one's wrath, staying still even as he staggered over to him. His body went temporary tense when his hips were grabbed and pulled back to press against the one behind him. The fingers drawing up the hem of his dress and revealing some of his bare skin should be enough indication on what was on his lover's mind. But still.. his eyes visited briefly the blade resting on the desk.]
