It’s a reverberating sound, one so rarely heard from his lips, and one that in spite of everything does make him feel better. That, and hearing the chime of Flora’s own laughter alongside his. The tension in his shoulders loosens momentarily, the smile fading as he listens and regains some semblance of a composure (still nothing compared to usual), and when Flora mentions that Ronin and Remi had been taking care of her… well somehow it just makes Maea’s behavior make that much more sense.
“No wonder she’s been insufferable, if she can just go and complain to two of the strongest people in Caido. Maybe she doesn’t feel real consequences.” He doesn’t hide the slight bitterness in his tone, nor the way he rolls his eyes, glancing down toward Flora with the ghost of the smile still on his face. “Maybe it would save me the trouble.” He drawls, shrugging a shoulder in a way that makes him appear more willowy than he otherwise would.
But he looks back down the path as it starts to sprout into different roads, small houses populating the fields around them. “She’s banned from the Inner Quarter.” He offers, as if it made more sense why she may be laying low.
