Good, one less thing for me to remember in order to remind you.

[ She leans against the railing and watches the water they're cutting over. ]

Would you be up for sparring later?

1/2

[fuelthefire]

[His attitude shifts for a moment, dropping abruptly from his standard good cheer to something more serious, and he says a word, sincerely, that he almost never says:]

Sorry.

[A beat as his gaze drops to the deck of the ferry, and then away from her, out over the water.]

I don't forget stuff on purpose.

[Not any of the stuff that happens here, in any case. It's not something he's ever spoken aloud to anyone before. Angel just knew. And so do Maya and Gaige, for that matter. He doesn't have anything to explain to them. But Annie...she's a little strange, which he respects, and he likes her a lot. So he wants her to know.]

[Her invitation to spar flips a switch, and he's instantly back to his usual, aggressively cheerful demeanor.]

Yes! Yes yes yes! I'll fight you anytime!!

[lyingheart]

[ The apology catches her off guard, leaving her looking his way, brow furrowed just enough to wrinkle her forehead. ]

I wasn't holding it against you. What you remember or forget, it's fine either way.

[ Lute leans against her thigh, and she reaches out, resting a hand on his head. ]

Just so you know. It's not something I'd hold against you.

[ This all said in the face of the aggressively cheerful demeanor, because her gears don't share the same switch. ]

[fuelthefire]

[No one's gears share the same switch, and that's probably a good thing.

He's quiet for a moment, a little thrown off because she'd chosen to address his apology - Why wouldn't she, she's not an asshole - staring out over the water. Then he turns his head to look back at her and contemplates her for a long moment before finally replying.]

....Thanks, Honeyshine.
