[It's okay if the subject pivots. He made the point he wanted to make, and forcing Siffrin to talk about anything sooner than they're ready to wouldn't be any better for them than bottling it all up would be. Siffrin is the one steering the ship. Isabeau is here to rock the boat if they start treading water.]
Oh! So it wasn't just me you had a super secret bonding hangout with? It was all of us?
[Makes sense! Not like he's the most important person in their life. That all said, he is done brushing their hair. He sets said brush aside and pulls up his little jar of hair oil, dumping a very small and reasonable amount of it onto his hands. Rubbing them both together, he will stick those oiled up fingers right into Siffrin's hair, carefully avoiding getting it down to the roots as he fluffs and styles everything for them. Almost done...]
Oh man, Madame's research topic... I'm dying to know, but at the same time, I definitely don't want you to tell me. I want to figure it out on my own.
[This is probably the feeling Mirabelle had when she told Siffrin she didn't want any "spoilers." Isabeau has it narrowed down! He's definitely going to figure out her research topic soon. It wouldn't be any fun if Siffrin just told him it, jealous as he is that they figured it out first.
He's distracted from fluffing Siffrin's hair by the sound of a few loud thumps and a couple floorboards creaking above them, and with a grin-] You could totally tell me Bonbon's secrets, though.
[A resounding "YOU BETTER NOT, 'FRIN" echoes from above, and Isabeau snorts.]
