[ his ear does a little flick, as he glances over at claude. ]

Mm. Thank you. [ ... ] Troublesome child.

[midway]

Most children are, in my experience.

... Not that's very extensive.

[fried]

[ a little laugh. ]

I agree with you. Lucas says otherwise, but it's my sincere belief that most children are out to twinge my every last nerve on purpose.

[ ... ]

It's alright. I didn't expect anybody to care about him. He made it very difficult.

[midway]

Mm, but you did.

Not one to be discouraged by a prickly exterior?

[fried]

Aeons, no. If anything, it only makes me more stubborn.

[ hehe ]

[midway]

I think that speaks to a difficult personality of your own...

[fried]

I've been told that a great deal of times. What better to deal with a brick wall than a hammer?

[midway]

[ He laughs. ]

Well... That much is true. [ Help. ] I can't deny your methods seem effective.

[fried]

I have plenty of practice. Moze always was much more difficult than any other challenge I came across.

In any case, a healer needs to have a backbone.

[midway]

I don't doubt you have plenty. Taair at least seems pretty obedient to your admonishing.

[fried]

[ huff. ]

I wish he was a little less. [ a beat. ] Perhaps he can loan you, Richie, and Mizu a little of that obedience, hm? Did you open your wounds today?

[ being fussy is better than being sad... ]

[midway]

What, Richie's not obedient? Well, he seems like he'd react better to the carrot than the stick.

[ He lifts his uninjured hand. ]

I'm perfectly fine. Just a little tired.

[fried]

[ huff huff. ]

Please make sure to rebandage your wound when you can. It needs to stay clean - I don't have the tools to treat an infection.

[ Silently leans his weight against him. ]

[fried]

[ oh

well, okay. his tail poofs a bit at the contact, but. he pats claude's arm, a little awkwardly. he doesn't mind, he's just stupid. ]

... Mm.

[midway]

[ Sometimes you are a baby when it comes to pain. He just needs a moment to brace himself... Thank you for the pats.

But okay!

Stands back up like that didn't happen. ]

I suppose you're headed for some rest?

[fried]

[ bro he feels that he's also a baby

he looks slightly amused when claude pulls away. ]

I am. If you'd like me to walk you to your room so you can rest as well...

[midway]

A charming gentleman offering to walk me back to my room? Aren't I lucky.

[ He laughs. ]

We're headed in the same direction, so let's at least walk over to the mansion together.

[fried]

[ reaches to flick his nose gently, but yes, he will walk him back, so he can get his beauty rest. ]
