If it at any point seemed as though I wouldn't be interested, it was a desire on my part not to overstep any boundaries you might not have wished crossed.
Not that I think you would hesitate to voice your displeasure if I did something of the sort, of course. But it wasn't lack of desire for more than friendship shared. Far from it.
[ it's charming, really. enough to bring a lopsided smile to rey's face. chivalry is lost on her, of course, and it's actually endearing that anduin would attempt it regardless. it can be nice to be treated as though she weren't a feral desert animal.

I've deleted that picture. It wasn't meant for me. And while I'd say you'd be welcome to send one that was...considering how often my device gets away from me, I'm not sure how wise that is.

[ at least, when it's in her control to decide as much. she's trying not to think about the unpleasant loss of autonomy represented by those citations. ]
That's what I like. Being able to care for someone, to make them happy.

[ when he says that, she recalls all the time that she did not negotiate things before engaging in them, or even bring them up in conversation. and uh. maybe she's being a hypocrite. ]

So what do you desire?

In most cases, it was harmless. Strange, but not objectionable.
