A/N: Apologies for the delay. My next semester of college has started and I already feel overwhelmed, not to mention my attempt at fleshing out my Doctor Who story has been draining a lot of energy.

Sweet Tooth
Chapter 29: Patient
She could never understand how Byakuran was so patient with her. Whenever she tripped or made a mistake, he always seemed to smile patiently at her to fix it. He'd never get angry.
She didn't know why.
He was certainly capable of it; she'd seen him get angry many times at other members, some of which had made the exact same mistake that she had made previously. He'd become livid, and order that member some form of punishment.
But never her.
She had thought to ask him, but as she stumbled and dropped the package in her hand causing the contents (which happened to be even more of the sweets he normally indulged in) to fall out, she ultimately decided not to.
He wore the same patient smile, and tapped the side of his nose with an index finger - a sign that Aynai began to translate as: Now, now. Look what you've done. Relax, and fix it.
Aynai released a nervous laugh and Byakuran chuckled.
Nope, better not to look a gift-horse in the mouth.
Patient - adj. bearing provocation, annoyance, misfortune, delay, hardship, pain, etc., with fortitude and calm and without complaint, anger,or the like.
