It's more that I don't really mind, so if you're dropping it out of consideration to me, you don't have to.

[ So, got it in one Lupine. ]

[ ...Just, gazing at Lark again. After a moment, he snorts softly. ]

Don't think I've got anything left to say. If I ask you to point me at anyone who makes you uncomfortable, isn't that just telling you I don't think you can take care of yourself?

[ Beat. ]

But if, for whatever reason, you ever need help — I'd be there.

[ At that Lark can't help but smile, a little. ]

Was it that obvious that someone had something to do with it? ...Thanks for the offer, still.

[ His eyes slide away. ]

Not — obvious, no. [ He doesn't want to make Lark feel transparent, and he doesn't... think it was all that obvious. ] Just... made sense.

Then consider yourself perceptive, and someone with good intuition.

[ Heh. ]

Thanks, I guess.

[ After a moment, ]

Feels like... maybe we know each other a little better now anyway.

[ The memory-sharing helped. ]

You did peek into my childhood experiences just the other day.

[ Snort. ]

Don't say it like you didn't see me as a kid, too.

You were a very cute child, by the way.

...Thank you...?

[ Genuinely unsure if this is an actual compliment. ]

It's a compliment, Lupine.

[ Wry, ]

Well, I'll pass it on to... [ Pauses, pretends to think. ] Nope, guess I'm an orphan.

What, can't accept the compliment yourself?

I mean, I didn't really have anything to do with how I looked as a kid.

[ ..........Might also still not actually believe you? But it's definitely easier to process having been cute as a kid. ]

I mean, cuteness is beyond just how you look?

[ Take the damn compliment. ]

[ ..........Blank. ]

It wasn't that long of a memory.

Are you trying to tell me that sneaking out to comfort the new kid wasn't kind of sweet and cute?

[ oh my god Lark ] [ Lupine rubs the back of his neck and looks away. ]

I mean, I was the only one awake. I was probably bored.

[ He has smelled blood in the water. ]

Hmmm, is that so? Bored enough to go out of your way to talk to him?

—This is public, right? Valor's probably a mate by someone's definition.

[ There you go, an incredibly technical completed row, now he can— ]

[ —change into a nymph, apparently.

Lupine sighs. ]

Well, I don't know what I was expecting.

[ At least it's still bound to change the topic of conversation, right?! ]

[ He's raising his eyebrows really high right now. At what part is probably something of a mystery. ]

Really now.

[ Might be pointedly raising his card up so that it obscures his face. ]

Yeah?

That desperate to change the topic?

[ A little snort. Lowers the card so that Lark can see his eyes at least. ]

I don't get called cute a lot.

[ Beat. A bit of a self-mocking eyeroll. ]

I don't think I do, anyway. It definitely feels weird.
