Harsh? Perhaps. And it was simply his way, simply how he had learned to communicate with others. A thick wall of defense and an icy demeanor that made it easy to weed out those who sought only selfish meansâah. But this wasnât about any of that, and he certainly didnât think of it now. Â
What the other said next allowed a raising of the brows. This, at least, piqued his interest more than a simple injury. âCooking? ⊠For us?â He repeated. His words were heavy with disbelief; Nagasone, usually rather inept in the kitchen⊠attempting to make a whole meal? â⊠âŠI ⊠appreciate the thought, Nagasone, but I have no reservation about making meals.â The implication being that he didnât mind making it for the both of them, but like many things, he did not elaborate on this. It was unnecessary.
AlthoughâŠ. his gesture was sincere, as most things with this man were. He sighed, shaking his head.Â
â⊠I could have⊠at least helped, you know.â
THE STING OF Fenrisâs words strike with a similar intensity as his dearest brother. Elusive words and a distant aura would encourage the counterfeit to keep his distance when talking to him. Such was an affair he had very little problem in adhering to. Now, he had to make conscious efforts to not touch the otherâs shoulder and risk those cold eyes and a shrug of the shoulders as his response. Well, he is learning in time, he knew this much.
A carefree laugh resounds from the elder sword. âYeah. Câmon, weâre living together. It wouldnât be right if I didnât make a meal at least once.â He had also thought that a lunch together would elicit opportunities to get to know him a little more. If they are to live together, then he would want to at least know him a little more. That plan, however, backfired; the resulting mingling in the hospital was worth the sacrifice of his thumb. âI wanted to!â
âThe thought didnât occur to me at the time.â
