“Well don’t go out after dark,” Aeron chided. “I didn’t tell you that so you could get yourself killed. And you woulda just been a cu-sith snack without us here. ...

(That’s adorable I love it) “So you had a crush on her?” Tasia giggled. “That’s embarrassing!”

(Oof) “Oh, come off it,” Aleth muttered. “‘Friends’ don’t giggle about me getting tortured.”

(Aww!) “What courting?”

Aeron nodded in agreement, looking at them expectantly.

Tasia took it in. “Why do you have flowers?”

(Ah, making friends) “You heard me.” He closed his eyes again. The man was no threat to him from this distance.

“Well you’re rude.” He smacked them but it wasn’t hard. “ She is named Unna. Stop pointing.”

“Just cause you’re a little bitch doesn’t mean I am.”

“Why do you have hair?”

Aeron nodded in agreement. “If you’re gonna be out galavanting after dark, this is what you get. You’re lucky we were here.”

“You just proved it is, fucker.” He closed his eyes. “I’ve barely made a peep. Nice try.”

“Otay!” She visibly had to resist the urge to reach in for the flower crown as she looked at it all. “Why doesn’t that baby have a head?”

“Cu-sith.” Aeron sat back on his heels heavily. “Very dangerous— why are you out here alone?”

Aleth cracked his eyes open. “I’ll fucking squeal on you in an instant if you leave me, fucker. A deals a deal. I’m not feeding you to be fucked over.”
