One slender hand reached out, silently catching the god of calamity's sleeve. Gazing at the other now with a mixed sullen expression painted upon those pale, brooding, features, slender brows furrowing slightly. Not finding the words to break that very hush that fell between them.
He was blinking in surprise the very moment his eyes caught sight of the troubled goddess, delicate fingers tugging at his attention whine her unreadable gaze flashed discomfort. As if she probably wasn't even sure how to explain herself, or so he made a wild guess. She'd always been the proud kind, and this approach was far from usual; he'd sometimes felt the impulse to take unexplained actions more than once, too.
But he was just as prideful, and his normalcy was to tease her into something more comfortable for both, so he cleared his throat and finally spoke.
❝ You, uh… Got something on your mind? If you're here to yell at me, I'll have ya know I haven't done anything yet!!❞ He didn't pull away, even though he claimed to feel threatened. ❝ I've been too busy being a God of Fortune to be crashing at your manor anyway.❞ That was a lie. He’d been around there anyway.
