He's a little startled by Terance's next words, but he has received stranger offers. He pauses, about to tell him no — but then he registers the smile fully, and... well, Seabreeze has good taste in men, at least aesthetically. He returns the smile, his own faintly echoing the wryness of the other's. I have another companion too — and I would have to um, talk to Korei, but maybe, He says, adding with a soft laugh: I can't say I know how she feels about you, either. She's pretty tight-lipped about her past.
Oh, now he's oversharing. Ugh. He glances away, but his gaze is drawn back to Terance as he continues, sympathetic this time. I know what you mean — about it being a long year, He tells him, voice a little softer. But — at least we're still here, right? He tries to think about it that way now, anyway. His mother doesn't have that. Eris doesn't have that.
