“ do you get a kick out of it or something ? ”
she coughs into her hand , trying to regain her composure ! aha had gotten to her like nothing else .
“ just . . . don’t interfere too much if you’re really insistent on this . ”
a small chuckle , THEY were aware of that .
“ oh , don’t worry , i do know that my teasing is absolutely stellar . “
THEY joke , putting THEIR hands on THEIR own waist.
“ even if it isn’t easy , i’ll continue to try . ”
this is the first time she’s been called pretty in two centuries , and by a being like an aeon no less !!
“ ugh , your teasing knows no bounds . . . ! ”
but she does go even redder , averting her eyes from THEIRs .
“ if only it were that easy . . ”
THEY smile , a quiet chuckle .
“ so pretty . . . ”
THEY say , offering a hand to the other .
“ i’ll be sure to make these smiles come easy to you . not force them upon you , but let you experience true laughter again . ”
“ don’t force it onto me though ! ”
her eyes meet THEIR own .
“ a — a smile ? ”
it’s been a long time since there was such an expression on her face , but . . .
she tries , going a bit red at the unfamiliarity of it .
“ hey , don’t just poke me like that out of nowhere ! ”
Not really taking offense to it , looking at THEM before letting out a soft sigh .
for someone so powerful , why did THEY bother with someone like her ?
“ jokes can’t fix everything , you know ? . . . ”
a small chuckle , poking the others cheek , a playful smile placed on THEIR face .
“ why so blue , dear soldier .ᐣ ”
a tilt of THEIR head to the side , still with that playful expression .
“ do you need another joke .ᐣ is that it .ᐣ ”
