However his eyes narrowed at Maea when she mentioned something about a Cloud Manta falling on her and lingering bruises. "I'm sorry, what?" His voice came out flatly, and he was already reaching out a hand to lay it on her shoulder and heal her.
He couldn't help but roll his eyes at her teasing. "Is it so hard to believe that I might have a friend, lady or otherwise?" The words came out more brusquely than he'd intended, and he immediately gave her a guilty and apologetic smile.
