King Elk Forest -- we both know a break does exactly what it says on the tin

he cocks his head, scans her critically. "wasn't really worried 'bout that til you said that," delight tells her, "but you don't have to talk to me if you don't want to. i mean -" he fumbles, never very good at interpersonal skills, "- i wanna know, but i won't.. push you? i know things are, um, weird. to put it lightly."

delight tries to smile. it doesn't quite work. his guilt is overwhelming. "you were probably looking for mato, huh," he says, referring to her scent-marking before he bumbled along. delight singing-sunlight: always the back up, always the stand-in, for one or the other. he doesn't think mato's going to go looking for her, though - he's got in his own head, he's got burke to worry about, he's.. well. he's kind of selfish, delight can admit that (he just loves him anyway).
