You think I'd get better at this eventually

Kit was surprised how hard it was to hold Iho’s gaze. As if she had something to be guilty about. But watching the realisation dawn in his eyes was no easy thing. She was glad her mothers sight had come back. It was important, and good. So why did she suddenly feel so terrible about it? As she frantically tried to think of something to make this better, Iho suddenly started to laugh. She watched him with an expression of shock, as if he had suddenly sprouted a second head.

It got worse, the laughter wasn’t just one surprised titter, it was a full on belly-shaking meltdown. Was he in shock? She was debating slapping him when he spoke. Actually, her urge to slap him didn’t immediately let up even after he spoke. He still sounded as if he was in shock, and she was half afraid the laughter would turn into sobbing. “I forgive you… do I need to slap you? Are you okay?” She asked, her voice serious.
