[ He gives her a small smile for that. ]

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. ]

[coastal]

[He does deserve a smack.

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.]

[sortileges]

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. ]

[coastal]

[There's a slight sigh even as she leans against the wall. While it's true that she's used to a rather pampered and soft bed...]

You've already provided me food.

That is enough. Stop your unnecessary fussing.

[It's already better than the place she was before this.]

[sortileges]

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?

[coastal]

[Immediately and without hesitation:]

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.]

[sortileges]

[ He just gives her a look for that. ]

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.

[coastal]

Your King? I would hope so. Kings in general are such troublesome people.

[Just saying. But also-]

I am not your lady, nor do I have the status of a lady here, so quit that already.

[sortileges]

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. ]

[coastal]

[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.

[sortileges]

[ There's a second where it looks like he will, but then he scrunches his head and shakes it. ]

Nah, that seems like too much work. I'm pretty tired.

[coastal]

Then shut your impudent mouth and rest!

[GOD.]

[sortileges]

I was just saying.

[ More like he was just being awkward as hell. Sorry, Lili. ] You're the one who is supposed to be resting though.

[ SO WHY ISN'T HE SHUTTING UP..... ]

[coastal]

You're making it hard with your senseless yapping.

[y-yapping....]

[sortileges]

[ He... chokes slightly. ]

Y-yapping?! [ Well she isn't wrong, is she? ]

[coastal]

[Firmly.

Without backing down even a little bit:]

Yapping.

[And with that, she'll lean against the wall and close her eyes.]

[sortileges]

I wasn't yapping. [ It comes out as a grumble as she leans against the wall and closes her eyes. He pulls at the vine in his hands, sulking all the while now.

Thanks Lili, even if he did deserve that. ]
