let's have a "talk"

Corvus quickly shook his head. "It is your business, though. It's good you want to make sure she's happy, and taken care of. She'd do the same for you," Corvus said seriously. He wasn't much of a kid anymore, but he still felt like someone who needed looking after. But then again, Corvus felt that way about nearly everyone in his family, regardless of their age. Everyone needed someone to look after them, and he was honestly glad that Twig had Beat, regardless of his relationship to her. "I'll do my best to make her happy. I promise. She's very special," Corvus concluded, feeling that same awkwardness but at least with some sense of importance as to why they were talking about this. They both wanted Twig to be happy, so he understood where Beat was coming from.

Even more, he understood what he said about being around others. Maybe to a different extent, but he could still empathize. "I'm kinda the same way, actually. I.. get stuck in my head a lot and think I'm making a fool of myself. Sometimes it's hard to believe anyone really believes in me, I guess, even though I know that's a stupid thought. But it's alright. You just gotta be yourself. Everyone who matters will love you more for it," he added gently. It was a lesson he hadn't fully learned himself, one he had to constantly remind himself of.
