The Sunspire i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me

in an alternate timeline, delight thinks, where he met rannoch before mato, he definitely would have been in love with rannoch instead. as it is, that isn't the case, but damn, he's got a schoolboy crush. "t-thanks," he manages, clears his throat, repeats, "thank you, uhm. we're on the same page." 

he looks at the goose and blushes. "but, still, allow me to, umformally apologise for them." just because he thinks he'll explode if he doesn't get to, embarrassed and ashamed as he feels. and he's pretty sure (mostly) rannoch isn't about to murder him (although lbr at this point delight would totally let him.)
