"Mhhh…. I cannot tell if it is my imagination playing a trick on me, but I am about ninety percent certain that your temperature is higher than what is considered healthy for a lad. Let me check a moment longer…."

[𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐓. @HisOwnRule]

"Oh c'mon~" he retaliated, "clearly, there were larger forces at play than mine."

brant pointed at himself, smiling like an innocent bystander.

" the captain here merely steered the course of the heroes! " shrugging away any light on the spot, which attracted a few suppressed laughs from his crew mates hanging around.

the children could just barely contain their amazement when she began to move, as if they met their heroine.

stuttering at first, the little boy asked again, "w-who? did your friends help?" their gaze went up, searching for an answer from the greatest fool.

a tale as wondrous as those he would spin on the spot, barely believable.
