[Tohko let him adjust himself. After all, if her lap was going to be used as a pillow, she would rather not be gutted while doing so. The small joke did make Tohko smile, and as she spoke, she nodded, thinking.]

Well..I'm alright with it. I was just wondering if you were. But, if you want to rest and people ask, I'll just tell them that I'm helping a little brother out.

[Little..? Tav might want to question that one.]

[pushedaround]

Wow, no. Let's all take a minute to discuss that 'little' part, shall we?

[ You know, for someone who's trying to take a nap, he should be less chatty and maybe-- focus on getting some proper rest, instead? ]

I'm all down for being the bestest brother you'll ever have in this shitty tower, but I'm guessing you're a little confused here. I won't be the little one, that's kinda your thing? For being so tiny and all.

[ A pause. ]

Unless you're older than me, then maybe you're right, but ... uh, I'm not allowed to ask girls about their age. I did it one time and this lady got really angry at me. So-

[tohko_amano]

[He should be, but, sadly, Tohko was never one to tell people when exactly they should be sleeping, for better or worse. At this small speech though, Tohko sighed.

Looks like she had been a bit confused about the 'sis' part. Why did she keep looking like a younger one to people?]

Well, some people do get annoyed about questions like that because they think that the information's private..and while I don't know your age, I can tell you that I'm eighteen. But how is that my kind of thing?

[pushedaround]

Uh.

[ Are you fucking kidding me?!!! He had to bite his own tongue to avoid saying that, but it paid off. Instead, he cleared his throat and moved a hand to scratch at the center of his head. ]

Well, damn. I guess that makes me the younger one, after all. I'm fourteen in human years, so-

[ In regard to her other question, Tavros shrugged. ] It's your kinda thing because you're tiny? Err, I don't mean it in a bad way. It's adorable, I guess? [ shut up just-- shut up! ]

... I should sleep.

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko wasn't the only one who was surprised. Tavros seemed to be about sixteen or so. She didn't think he was that young..but, then again, age didn't mean much sometimes in terms of what people could and couldn't do.

At the second comment, she couldn't help but sigh..and chuckle a little. So she was just like a little sister in how she looked? Well..she could understand that, in a way. Even if Tav's cute awkwardness did make him seem like a younger brother. As she spoke, she patted his head.]

..It's fine. Don't worry about it! Younger or older, I guess I'm still like your sister, so it's not that big of a deal. But..I'm pretty sure things will look better in the morning, after you get some sleep.

[pushedaround]

Most precious sister. Heh.

[ Tohko won't be able to see it due to their odd wire-frame figures, but the smile on his face is genuine. It was nearly impossible to find any sense of comfort in this situation, but the company of a kind friend was enough to make everything less agonizing. And with that thought in mind- ]

... Thank you, Tohko. It means a lot, having you here and saying all those things earlier. I really appreciate it.

[ He toys with his fingers for a bit before shifting to the side slightly, in a way that made it more comfortable for him to settle in for a good nap. The little shit had no shame in using this girl as his personal pillow, but he will make it up to her. One day. It's a promise. ]

[tohko_amano]

[Most precious..well, Tohko wasn't expecting that line. While she couldn't see Tav's face, Tohko did pause..and genuinely smile at that comment, which was a small feat, since Tohko had a habit of wearing a mask of a smile when she was hurt, sad, or scared. Or putting up a brave front.]

You're welcome! I'm always happy to help out my friends and loved ones. I'm just glad you're feeling a bit better.

[Tohko leaned back against the wall a bit as he shifted around so that he could do so without poking her in the gut or head with those horns. While Tohko didn't know if Tav would make it up to her in the future or not, she wasn't one to care about such things. She wasn't looking for payment.]
