[ he watches, even though he knows he should probably be a little more polite about not doing so. but. once it's finished, his lips twitch a bit, and he knocks his tail against her side, gently. ]

You have a soft spot. [ teasing, gently. ]

[sarkazm]

Oh, whatever. Like I told the kid... even I'm not that cold. I wouldn't just leave him suffering.

[fried]

Just you, without anybody. Without a name.

[ his tail swishes back and forth. ]

I know you won't accept the sympathy, but I am sorry that you were.
