Roboute Guilliman was aware that he sometimes aggravated people, though he had no explanation as to why. The people whom he usually annoyed were his brothers, mainly the less wordy and the more… wild ones. Serenity was nice enough, but she appeared to like everyone. The same applied to Sanguinius.
Then, there was Dorn's cousin. She decided for some bizarre and incomprehensible reason that Roboute needed cheering up. Her way of providing it was to give him a hug as a greeting, which he wasn't that opposed to. While he would have preferred not to be embraced in the public, it was an acceptable behaviour.
What was not, was the conversations.
"So, ever had a girlfriend?" Azmina asked, smiling innocently.
"I do not believe that it should be of any interest to you," he answered.
Naturally, Azmina had not felt snubbed at all and continued prodding. "So, you didn't? Don't worry, Rogal only went to his first date because I set him up and spent an hour persuading him."
"Your point being?" he asked suspiciously. He did not like where this was going.
"I found you a date," Azmina said cheerfully. "She's real nice and pretty."
"While I appreciate your concern, I must decline such entertainment, as my duties-" he started to say, but Azmina chimed in before he even managed to finish the first sentence.
"Oh, don't be silly!" she said, patting his side. "You will enjoy yourself."
Roboute Guilliman lacked Rogal Dorn's legendary stubbornness. Regretfully, it took Azmina only a mere fifteen minutes to go to a date she set up.
