[aono]

No? Are you just shy instead?

[Mild curiosity, but now he's looking to Allen as they walk.]

[lefthandpath]

I am not shy.

[he is just a tsun.]

[aono]

...Tsundere?

[Yep.]

[lefthandpath]

I don't know what that is.

[aono]

Someone who's grumpy to hide that they like someone.

[He pauses, and then he points to Rinkou, who is making wolverine squeaks at Rowan.]

Like she is now. She's a permanent tsundere now.

[lefthandpath]

[he squints down at Rinkou]

As opposed to a temporary one?

[aono]

Yeah. Wolverines always look so angry, but she just wants people to like her.

[He sounds a little sad now.]

I guess it's my fault she's stuck like that, huh? She only ever became a wolverine when I was upset, and now...

[lefthandpath]

[oh.

oh, no.

Allen pulls Rin to a stop.]

You mean she's not able to shift around?

[Rowan doesn't seem to think this is too much of a problem, just continuing her play with Rinkou.]

[aono]

Not since Thursday.

[He is stopped! And he is a little ??? but he is watching Allen curiously now.]

[lefthandpath]

Thursday when you got back or...?

[he suspects but. confirmation...]

[aono]

Thursday night. After Tsuru died.

[Still not much of an emotional reaction, though he does look away again.]

Do we gotta talk about this? It's not great.

[lefthandpath]

... no, we don't have to.

[he got the answers, he thinks.]

[aono]

Thanks.

[...he still wants to hold hands though. He's mildly distressed now.]

[lefthandpath]

[holding hands is fine. Allen will even squeeze the hand in apology.]
