She nods slowly before she looks down. Taking a deep breath as she does.
"I'm glad you see it as a compliment, because it is!" She nods quickly as she tries to think on the next topic of conversation.
"Many people could use someone as wise as you in their lives."
that smirk remained on his features as he listened to her words. gaze zoned in on her and clocking the blush appeared on her cheeks.
"well, i'll take it as a compliment." he hummed quietly as he studied her longer.

"What are you guys raising money for?" She decides to ask, for the moment ignoring his question about taking care of herself.

someone you admire so much.
Well she's pretty sure it's admiration.... Sort of. She's tried not to think too deeply about it, she's much too busy for any of that.

"in a few days or so." She's relieved to be able to share the good news. Before she realises he asked her very kindly how she's doing, and she hasn't returned the courtesy.
"How are you doing?" She quickly adds. Who knew manners are so easily forgotten when talking with

"Between the grey hairs and the all-knowing eyes, definitely suits you, yeah." Now it's her turn to turn red as he looks at her, nodding slowly.
Maybe that was a little too much to admit, but she believes in honesty more than anything. His question makes her pause though,

a coy smirk appeared on his lips when he caught sound of her little snort. it was cute if he was being completely honest.
"oh does it, hmm?" he teased, gaze sparkling with humor as he listened to her words. ignoring the warmth that was creeping up the back of his neck.

She's quick to bring a hand up and wipe her face before putting on a smile.
"Sorry, I didn't... didn't expect." She lets out a soft and sheepish laugh before she rubs at her eye again with her free hand. She hadn't expected her own response at all.
"Thanks." She mutters

"So they say, but I've seen plenty of people who prove the opposite is just as true." She points out as she snorts.
"Suits you though, the whole wise guy thing. There's something about your eyes that makes you look like you can see right to my secrets."
brett shrugged a little and then rubbed his neck with his right hand. he hadn’t expected her to flip the attention back on him.

A crying four year old, a hysterical nanny and a cackling 9 year old.. it must've been a sight to see for the firefighters that got her brother loose.
@BATTALI0NCHIEF "I'll keep it in mind! Of course!" She nods quickly as she smiles.
As he tells the story about the kid stuck in the bannister she laughs.
