Blackfeather Woods hit me up

AS was to be expected, Cicero responded to Damien's suggestion with a riddle-worthy remark. Had it happened before, Damien would have snorted at himself for believing he would have been able to make Cicero talk, but things had changed. Ever since the herb conflict, Damien had started feeling a genuine distrust for his brother's words. He was deceiving, not one to take lightly even if you happened to be his brother.

"I'm serious," he replied, unintentionally heating up for a moment and pulling away from Cicero's touch. "How can I trust you if you don't?" he said unable to stop himself. He didn't mean it, not entirely for there was no one in the world he trusted more than Cicero, not even Potema herself, with whom Damien had always had a close relationship. But in the end Damien would always have issues with trust, and losing what was left of it on Cicero frightened him.
