Anxious Like The Ocean In A Storm

Where Talvi was shocked by the wounds that the russet boy now bore, Caeto himself didn't seem fazed at all by them. In fact he'd even attempt a look at his nose now as if he hadn't realised it was injured an act that would briefly remind her of the dimwitted behaviour he had initially displayed. Perhaps he simply wasn't aware of how bad it looked, she'd let that slide though his answer on the other hand wouldn't suffice.



"A mishap?" She queried, her voice portraying her doubts and concern as she spoke. "That looks a little more than a mishap." She wouldn't pressure him too much for the explanation though her words would certainly let him know she wasn't quite buying his lack of reason. She may have barely known Caeto, already she could see him becoming a potential friend, his company wasn't exactly unwanted and he had offered her more than many of her own family had ever done.



He would attempt to brush off her concern and his wounds by enquiring into her own life since they had departed. "Better than you it seems." She responded. It was clearly the truth physically though mentally was a slightly different story, meeting her estranged family wasn't exactly her idea of a great time in most cases.
