Duck Lake Cruel limits

The tone in which Rex discussed his home implied that it was not somewhere he would miss being. Pheiros was mildly curious to know more, but more than anything, he didn't want to bring up something uncomfortable for his new friend to talk about, so he didn't pry for more information. Instead, he offered a shy smile and said: Well, you'll probably like it here. Pheiros was pretty fond of the place, although he didn't have much to compare it with. 

The compliment, even though he hadn't actually done anything, made heat rush to Pheiros' cheeks. It was important that this handsome new friend like him, and it seemed he was already off to a good start. His next two questions elicited a soft, awkward giggle from the golden boy. He wasn't sure how he was supposed to answer him. Obviously, he hadn't been looking for him specifically, but then why did he say that? Oh um, I like it here, he offered quietly. He even more awkwardly left out an answer to the other question because, well, he didn't know what to say. And rather than looking dumb, he just didn't answer.
