PPing Minori at the end upon request & closing the thread. ♥

He nodded at Minori's assertion that Issun didn't seem to trust her as she did him. She lost her flare upon hearing his question, stumbling over her words as she denied the possibility. But was it really impossible? Issun appeared to have a history of hiding his feelings, after all. Minori mentioned having deeper affection for "the one", who Issun was not, but who was? Was it... himself? It was Corvus' turn to be in denial. She probably would have worded it differently if she were talking about him... right? Or was she simply in denial of that, too? Corvus wasn't a conceited man, so he didn't assume Minori had to be talking about him while negating the possibility of someone else. But if not him and not Issun, then who? The thought bothered him. Was there a third man involved here? Maybe he was just being ridiculous at this point. Corvus couldn't tell anymore.

His expression remained closed off while he pondered in silence. However, Minori's voice broke him from his thoughts, anger quick to replace the flustered confusion she held before. When she brought up... whatever she'd been doing before, he questioned himself again. But Corvus dashed it away. She was under the influence, Minori never acted that way when fully coherent. She'd been... touchy last time, as well — albeit deceitfully so. With the stomp of her paw, Minori exclaimed her determination to find Issun and get him to talk. He grinned, glad to see that she wasn't too dejected from all of this.

It was then Corvus finally spoke again. Good. I hope things can get sorted between the two of you. Minori agreed with a nod, and with determination in her step, she bounded off after Issun. He watched her go, leaving him with his thoughts, thought he ultimately didn't get anywhere.
