krishna deshpande is a beautiful cinnamon roll too good and pure for this world. here's some proof.
"But surely you must know — you must realize that you are quite — quite beautiful!"
Mr. Deshpande did not smile at the compliment: his gaze dropped, and his long lashes shadowed his eyes.
"I am told I have been accounted well-looking enough," he said.
Captain Türkmen found himself all confusion. He had not meant it in that way; or rather, he had meant it, but when he had said beautiful he had also meant a great deal more than to praise the blackness of Mr. Deshpande's hair, the lovely precise cut of his jaw or the sweet bow of his mouth.
But he could think of no way to explain this, and offered therefore only a contrite but rather garbled reply, which Mr. Deshpande, being a gentleman, accepted without comment.
