[Char blushed. She should've known she'd get immediately called out for what she said. She knew Cam well enough.] I wasn't a dig, [She insisted gently.] I just... want to make sure we're all... being kind to each other's idiosyncrasies, [was how she chose to put it.]
Really? That... sounds good?
Did you really think I was genuinely being disparaging of this beautiful creature? [Cam asked, moving to brush Lemon's curls back again and staring down at her with a soft smile for a few moments.]
But yes. She agreed to let a fancy private chef cook for us for awhile. Good Bunny offered them while I was getting my health under control, so I'd have less on my plate.
[He paused and glanced at Char again.] And she agreed to... end the 'no dating coworkers rule.'
[When Cam brushed her curls, Lemon shivered and pressed her body up towards Cam's hand while still staying fully asleep.]
['Beautiful creature'. Cam's choice of words combined with the smile on his face definitely drew Char's eye. Maybe Honeyy was right about Cam suddenly seeming more... aware of his clear feelings for Lem?] ...No. No, of course not. I shouldn't've said that. I'm sorry.
Your health under control? [She asked.] Are you--?
[Her inquiry into Cam was cut short by him dropping a bombshell. For a moment so quick it easily could've been misconstrued as a trick of the light, Char went stiff as a board. A millisecond later, she was back to her usual soft-spoken and timid self.] ...Oh. Really? That's... surprising.
