Larkin didn't know why Herriot gave his wife this little wood charm, but he didn't feel good seeing it. Perhaps he wouldn't care if it was someone else, but that was one of the people he didn't like… giving it to someone he liked. Jealousy wouldn't probably be too assuming for the situation.
However, he couldn't help but laugh in ridicule when he heard what Artie said next. "A curse? Quite. However, such a thing is important. Do not throw it away."
"Okay..." Artie pouted at the reaction. It didn't seem to be synonymous with a curse, but Larkin was able to laugh so it shouldn't be something worth a rift between them. She was only with Larkin for a month, and Herriot had already spoken to her for half that time during their adventure to Haussia. If the archduke was another kind of man, he would have thrown it away.
