Tazikel slung an arm around Mylorah when she turned to him, nodding in agreement to her demand he elaborate on the story Kor’is had alluded to - it was pretty entertaining, especially now that it was a number of turns in the past and Tazikel was significantly better at laughing at his past self. Besides, it turned out worse for Kordi than it had for him, ultimately. But she apparently didn’t want the story immediately, and what she wanted to talk about took Tazikel by surprise. Had it been that obvious? He’d been trying very hard to act normal, even with the added surprise of a dragon. Apparently he was either worse at faking being chill than he thought or Mylorah could read him better than he really wanted. Damn.
“Of course we’re still friends,” he assured her, mostly sure it was still true. Like, okay, maybe things were a little weird between them now - or Tazikel was just imagining Kor’is’ side of things and was just being weird himself - but he didn’t hate Kor’is or something stupid like that. The problem, in fact, was that Tazikel might like Kor’is more than anticipated. The very opposite of hating each other and not being friends. At least as long as Kor’is was alright with everything, but it wasn’t like Tazikel could go talk to him about it, not with little baby Taith needing all his attention for a while. They’d… they’d figure it out. Eventually.
“We’re good, Mylo,” Tazikel said when she still didn’t look convinced. “Promise,” he added, pressing a kiss to her temple and really, really hoping she’d believe him and move on to a topic Tazikel had any idea how to talk about. “More importantly, do you want embarrassing awkward child Kordi stories now, or later?”
