"Hey. You scared off Bosch. I don't want to run away."

Nahi rested against Shara.

Nahi nodded. "I'm sure you will."

Nahi frowned. "I knew it wouldn't last. And you'd either get hurt for your nice comments or they'd... turn cruel."

"I know, I know." Nahi sighed. "But that's why I didn't... react well."

Nahi frowned. "Well... I just don't want you getting hurt. Because sticking with me will do that."

"What do you mean?"

"It's flustering." Nahi buried their face in Shara's shoulder. "It makes me very, very flustered to hear it."

Nahi shook their head. "No! Like I said, princess is fine. A little..." They gestured wildly. "But fine."

Nahi smiled. "You know... I'm not a girl. Princess... princess is fine. But I'm not a girl."

Nahi smiled. "Thank you."

Nahi looked away. "I sounded epic?"

Nahi shrugged. "I mean, I guess."

Nahi nodded. "Like I said. Justicia for me. Swordsman. Protector of justice. The blindfolded fighter."

Nahi's grip on Shara tightened with the bow. "That's... cool. Really nice."
