I'll touch the sky.

“I don’t know what you mean, hun. I’m not hiding anything…”

☁—  “You’re a horrible liar.”

“It’s not even that big of a deal, so it’s best to just leave it alone.”

☁— "I highly doubt it, but whatever. If you're not going to open up, so be it."

“Oh, but it is a secret?”

☁— SPUTTERS INCOHERENTLY.

“Well c’mon then, spill it.”

 ☁— Suddenly he lets out a squeak, a high pitched sound coming from his mouth as his face turns a vibrant shade of red. "W-w-why does it matter so much if you're not going to get me into t...trouble, huh?!"

“Hey, Nico~!”

☁—  “It isn’t good to hide how you feel, you know…?”

“I don’t know what you mean, hun. I’m not hiding anything…”

☁—  "You're a horrible liar."

“What is it?” She smirked, leaning forward a bit. “Dirty secret?”

☁— “It isn’t a dirty secret!”

“Oh, but it is a secret?”

☁— SPUTTERS INCOHERENTLY.

☁—  Attempts to comfort by making a silly face.

“Hey, Nico~!”

☁—  "It isn't good to hide how you feel, you know...?"

☁—  “DON’T BE CRAZY! O…OF COURSE NOT!”

“What is it?” She smirked, leaning forward a bit. “Dirty secret?”

☁— "It isn't a dirty secret!"

☁—  Attempts to comfort by making a silly face.

☁— “W-whaaaaaa?!” Sputtering, the young man took a jittery step back, almost falling over comically before catching himself. “Ahahahaha— there’s mo reason I’d need to be arrested anyways!”

“Why so jittery? Y’hidin’ somethin’?”

☁—  "DON'T BE CRAZY! O...OF COURSE NOT!"

“Where d’ya work?”

☁— “….y…you know, some back alley bar…nothing special….” 

“Jeez.”

☁— "W-whaaaaaa?!" Sputtering, the young man took a jittery step back, almost falling over comically before catching himself. "Ahahahaha-- there's mo reason I'd need to be arrested anyways!"

☁— “Er— well…I live here now….” A simple shrug.  ”I’ve lived here for a few years.”

“Where d’ya work?”

☁— "....y...you know, some back alley bar...nothing special...." 

☁— “…….what happened, Dol?”

“… Greed apologized. Offered t’let us come back. …—for now was probably better…” 

☁— "Good, damn idiot needs to get his head out of his ass sometimes." A small huff. "...sorry about you guys having to go through all of that, I sorta took a 'vacation' during all the drama."

☁— “…I’m from central, but m’dad is Xingese.” He nodded slowly, figuring that must have been what the other was talking about, because that often times was the case.

“What brings y’all the way to Dublith, then?” She couldn’t tell his age, though, he couldn’t be much younger, or older, than her. Maybe she shouldn’t be questioning him about..well everything, but Eden never cared about privacy in that sense. If he didn’t want to talk, she wouldn’t pry, unless she found need be.

☁— "Er-- well...I live here now...." A simple shrug.  "I've lived here for a few years."
