that's what I tell him

how the fuck am I supposed to know

"And what if it was, so long as the Family also ended up getting burned? I know fire doesn't especially upset them, but I imagine they'd complain if we burned them for long enough." Danta grins, trying to duck away from any further droplets of water, though he does hold in his own yelp of surprise as water flicks across his face.

At the twist of sadness in her smile, Danta drifts close enough to sling an arm around her, drawing her against the heat of his chest. "Yeah, well, he's an idiot as we've already well established. You've got to have at least a few brain cells to understand what you're missing," he reminds her, slanting a smile her way before letting her go once more.

"Oh, well if that's the case, I do very much hope it turns into something interesting," he quips, heading to the edge of the springs to slowly rise out of the water, stretching his arms above his head. "If you quit being Queen of Torchline, you come and take it over and we'll be leader neighbours," he suggests. "For now, though, let's go back and drink a fuckton of coffee. Then I might be ready for the day."

He won't be. But it's a nice lie to tell himself for now.
