She let him speak, it seemed like whenever there was something to insult or something to babble on about he never shut up but when it came to honest feelings he rarely said things. Even more rarely did he say things without pulling back on them a bit as though that made it easier if he didn't admit the depth of something.
She could deal with that when it came to him talking about how he was hurting because she didn't need him to talk for her to know that. She'd seen enough fighting and injury to know when something hurt like hell even if some big jerk had a mystical elemental force pushing him on. She knew where she stood there.
But with them, them she was never sure.
"Pretty simple solution for that you know." Yeah, she was going to stick that to him. "You could come around more often. I'd like it if you did." He had to know she was going there. Right?
"But I get why you feel like you need to be alone sometimes, I just wish you'd realize that you have people who want to be there for you." She wasn't even just saying herself, there were lots of people that cared about him. He could consider himself lucky that she dropped it there rather than digging in about it.
