[/html][/html] The blonde boy conceded that he was a bit of a talker, and he always took would-be rhetorical questions with a childish seriousness. However, Nayht seemed content to just listen to him, and that made him glad. His thumb brushed absently over the path of hers even as he babbled on at length about his life, and he only stopped when she squealed at his doggish lick. He had to laugh—well, practically giggle—but was quick to flash her a grin that was one part apologetic and two parts taunting.
Squeezing his hand back, the dark-hued girl scolded him then more or less brushed off the question with a vague remark about her home. He snorted. “There never is,” he agreed in half a mutter, trying to smile to make light of it. Though as usual the evasion caused the back of his mind to prickle, he was generally content to ignore it and proceed with whatever they wanted to do for the day; their hours spent together was more important than what happened at home, he had to think. This time, however, Nayht went quiet, and he guessed he knew her well enough to note the dark shift in her vivid green eyes.
“Babe?” Skoll pressed lightly, frowning. “Are you sure everything’s okay at home? Is something else bothering you?”
