there’s a frown, gaze glancing away now, they had never really worshipped anyone… a small exhale from them, a shrug.
“ . . . i’m just an exiled faerie, not worth many’s time… “
there’s a small wince, immediately guilt showing over features as though they felt bad for their reaction to the gentle touch, “ i. . . i’m just… a feral stray, do you often see feral strays as worth your time? ”
there’s a look of surprise, their gaze shifting away, a soft exhale.
“ there’s no need to waste your time on me… ” it was murmured before a cheerful smile moved across lips, barely noticing the pain from cheeks anymore, “ i was just watching the sky, that’s all… ”
there’s a squeak of surprise, they hadn’t noticed anyone was near, their gaze instantly finding him. fingers having paused their scratching but not pulled away.
“ . . . oh, hi, i didn’t hear or see you… ”
" i can help teach you about plants! "
kohaku seemed way too excited about the idea, a grin moving onto lips now, giving a nod of their head, " i'm glad you like it, however... i was scared you wouldn't. "
" it's... a way to show ... a desire for friendship where i'm from. i didn't know what kind of flower you like, however so... i had to pick a random one. "
a soft laugh, looking away now with a shrug.
