You don't need to run

He didn't really expect Laith's answer to be so straight-forward, though he wasn't sure why he hadn't expected it, considering how blunt he seemed overall. Women were too soft? "Hmm," he hummed thoughtfully, quietly, considering what he'd said. He wasn't sure he agreed with the sentiment, but he knew Laith's intensity did make him more attractive... or maybe he was just intimidated, he wasn't totally sure. Maybe a bit of both. That seemed far more likely. He was glad for the fur that covered his cheeks to hide the heat that had traveled there and now refused to leave.

His next comment only intensified the blush, and he gave a dismissive shake of his head. He was here to help his sister, to look for herbs - not to flirt or talk about these things. But his kiss with Laith had made his head spin, as hard as he tried to keep it on straight now. He was temporarily distracted from his thoughts though when Laith called out to him and he made his way to his side. A quick sniff from a distance told him that the herb definitely was boneset, and he allowed himself a little grin. "Y-yep, this is boneset." Immediately he set out to start to gather some, tugging them free from the earth close to the base and then trimming the excess plant carefully. He cast a glance up at Laith. "T-thank you, for your help." There was a finality to his tone, knowing Laith likely wouldn't stick around much longer. "A-and the kiss too."
