Happy to help be the distraction, the butcher sips from his drink as he lets the changes and adjustments in this shift settle, letting her mull it around. And when she flashes that shadowed attempt of a smile, he can read between the lines of it. She wants to offer him the sharp quick wit smiles but can’t, and that’s okay. Because she’s at least trying to. And when she offers the comment of how it sounds like how she typically is, the butcher’s soft chuckle leaves him as he nods his head.
It’s how most people are, as far as he knows. He’s.. Different, though. And he always had been. And with her follow up question, he sees the concern spark and the deep frown that sits on her face and he shakes his head immediately to alleviate any fears or worries. “It does not bother me much. It is just… Difficult to get used to, I suppose.” He hums thoughtfully, leaning back and stretching out his long legs. “It is a lot of feelings I am not used to having all at once, so I am sure you can imagine it is taking me time to manage well.” His smile is a touch sharper, as is his shadow where it hovers beside Thalassa.
