[NO, SHE'S STANDING BY IT even though the softer smile manages to embarrass her too. It seems that the strawberries have managed to get some of her strength to return....
You still sat here and watched over me. Take a rest. It isn't like we're going anywhere anytime soon, are we?
[ He reaches out to pull at the vine he made earlier with the strawberries on it, holding it in his hands and using it to just do something with his hands. She should be glad he isn't doing anything magical with it either, just twisting it into a shape slowly. ]
It's a deal, then. And if you need a pillow... [ Well, it's a bit cheeky really, especially as he expects her to get wound up. Especially as he pats his own arm while he says it.
Suit yourself. [ He shrugs slightly. ] But it's got to be better than a cold hard wall, hasn't it?
[ He might be treating it like a joke, but it's more to try and help her rest properly. He's used to passing out on a cold hard floor, from what she's said before he doesn't feel as though the same applies. ]
Yeah but I don't need magic for this, do I? [ He pauses then, glancing over at her. ] You can't tell me to treat you more like a Lady then complain about it, you know.
[ Because she had back in the swamp, okay. ]
Has anyone ever told you that you're rather fussy, yourself?
Prince. [ He corrects, even if... a bunch of people only know of Arthur as a King. ]
And it would be a lot easier to do that if you didn't act like it. Habits can be difficult to break. [ aka stop acting so prickly and uppity... gosh. ]
[Hm. Prince. Same difference - still even more royal than Lili.
Yet she's just going to bristle at that and give him a bit of an unimpressed stare.]
I act as only myself. I expect nothing of what would normally come with nobility, so can you kindly put your own predisposed biases and beliefs aside? You're only making this more troublesome.

Firmly looking away though!]

Is that supposed to be a bag thing... or good? It's honestly hard to tell when you're making that face.
no subject
Still though, it’s not like she can lie.]
It’s… It’s not a bad thing all the time but – don’t push your luck!
[What a stereotype tsun.]
no subject
I'm very good at that though. [ Still, he stops after that, reaching to pick them both another strawberry, offering it along with an apology. ]
Sorry. Once we're done here we should probably search around a bit, shouldn't we?
no subject
... Rest more first.
You've pushed yourself too far for the sake of others.
no subject
I'm more concerned with how long we'll be safe here.
no subject
It's fine - you'll likely extend yourself too far again later, so isn't a moment of peace like this good for you?
[Just to be practical.]
no subject
Has it been this quiet the entire time?
no subject
[Which is said with a bit of a sigh.]
But... well, danger hasn't loomed too closely, which is all I ask at this point.
no subject
[ It's hard to say how close they're getting or if other people are nearby, honestly. ]
Have you rested enough?
no subject
[A small, quiet sigh. She's not so useful.]
I'm fine.

no subject
Only a short rest - and then we'll look for others so you don't have to do all the defensive measures on your own.
no subject
It's a deal, then. And if you need a pillow... [ Well, it's a bit cheeky really, especially as he expects her to get wound up. Especially as he pats his own arm while he says it.
He deserves a smack, really. ]
no subject
And Lili just bristles up again, huffing at the offer indignantly.]
Don't be so full of yourself.
[Even if it... lacks as much bite as she would normally deliver.
Listen, she's exhausted.]
no subject
[ He might be treating it like a joke, but it's more to try and help her rest properly. He's used to passing out on a cold hard floor, from what she's said before he doesn't feel as though the same applies. ]
no subject
You've already provided me food.
That is enough. Stop your unnecessary fussing.
[It's already better than the place she was before this.]
no subject
[ Because she had back in the swamp, okay. ]
Has anyone ever told you that you're rather fussy, yourself?
no subject
If you don't like it, then leave. No one's forcing you to interact with me, you know.
[Wow, it's almost like she's used to saying that.]
no subject
Did I say that? Don't worry, my lady [ said so dryly ] you have yet to prove yourself fussier than Arthur, that's for sure.
no subject
[Just saying. But also-]
I am not your lady, nor do I have the status of a lady here, so quit that already.
no subject
And it would be a lot easier to do that if you didn't act like it. Habits can be difficult to break. [ aka stop acting so prickly and uppity... gosh. ]

no subject
Nah, that seems like too much work. I'm pretty tired.
