"You're...welcome..." He muttered, more as an afterthought than anything, absentmindedly squeezing her hand as he let himself be guided by her, mind occupied with thoughts. New facts.

He didn't expect to come across someone in Tianee's family so quickly - literally seconds of entering Neviah. He noted the man's muscular, giant stature in stark contrast with his tiny sister, and wondered what kind of monstrous strength he had hidden underneath his light clothes.

What was most interesting, though, was Tianee's reaction to him. Tatonga seemed laid-back and light-hearted, and Tianee was anything but that at the moment, her pace quick and hands tightly wrapped around his.

Furthermore, Cerule was ambivalent about Tatonga seeing him help Tianee. While both he and Tianee understood the circumstances, it was possible to see the scene as suggestive.

(Not to mention, Ariel once gave him a flat sidelong glance and plainly stated, hair tied up in a loose bun as she tinkered with a flash bomb absentmindedly, "You act like some kind of super-princely-boyfriend around Tianee. It'd be annoying if it wasn't so cute." A beat. "No, nevermind. She's cute, you're annoying." He threw a pillow at her. She dropped the bomb and the resulting explosion caused them to be late to classes that day.)
