Stuff that stabs

Arcturus nodded without looking up from his work as he finished feeding the laces through the holes on one bracer and moved on to the other, listening as Tira told him about the exploration she had been doing. That wasn't really a surprise. He didn't know where all she had been going, but she hadn't been hanging around here all that much so that checked out. He supposed he was glad that she wasn't just sitting around like he was and he certainly wouldn't wish these emotions and struggle to find any kind of motivation that he was dealing with on anyone else. If anything he was more just jealous of his sister. Neither of them had really had it easy by any means over the last couple of seasons, but she had kept going and enduring somehow and he envied her for it.

She added another little bit about her adventures that made him stop in the middle of lacing up the second bracer, blinking with surprise down at his paws before he managed to turn his shocked up to peek at his sister curiously. "You, uh... You did?" he questioned in disbelief. In his mind Tira was still the same as she had been when he was hugging her during a thunderstorm after she woke up from a nightmare, but now she was off going on adventures, finding cute girls, making out with them... His ears flicked and his face flushed at the thought and he quickly looked down at the bracers in front of him again, clearing his throat a bit as he made himself go back to working on finishing up his little project. "I'm... Uh... I'm glad you're having a good time, I guess," he replied awkwardly, fidgeting with his pieces of armor and starting to pull them on to make sure the fit was still good.
