He can feel it. How she softens around him. Was it relief that she didnt have to try and be the tough one here? She could be delicate and still be treated just like Karlach deserves to be.
".. I am not very interested in hunting today. Perhaps we should settle and rest for a few days."
β’ O N R Y O β’
"Yea... That's ah.... That's a pretty valid point..."
It's so easy for Mizu to disarm her with one look. Karlach just sheepishly grinned as she ran her thumb against the side of his hand.
He looked to her with those gorgeous blue stoic eyes.
"If I was annoyed with you, you wouldn't be near me."
Let alone allowed to touch him. Yeah, she has special privilege.
πΆππππππ

"Not exactly, it's--"
But whatever she was about to say was silenced at the innocent gesture. Karlach's eyes went wide as saucers as she looked down at Mizu in astonishment...and then coughed to cover her surprise.
LIKE THAT ACTUALLY WORKED PFF--
"I-its just another way of expressing annoyance."
πΆππππππ
"Is it a bad word?"
He blinked. Holding her hand for a little longer. He pulls it close to kiss over her knuckles. He seemed to understand physical touch was very important to her.
β’ O N R Y O β’
"You know I'm never very far at all, mate. And I'll do my damnedest never to teach you the meaning of the word either."
Karlach brought his hand up to pat it with her free one, practically radiating with joy over the contact.
It's the little things that mean so much to her..
πΆππππππ
"Cant say I am very familiar with that word. I have missed your company."
He confessed. His hand almost felt delicate in hers.
β’ O N R Y O β’
That .... Absolutely helped!
Karlach settled down, giving his hand a gentle squeeze in return.
"So I've been told. I'll take sweet over obnoxious any day!"
πΆππππππ
It was really endearing to see. He comes closer and takes her hand to hopefully ease her excitement a little.
"Hello, Karlach. Youre quite sweet."
β’ O N R Y O β’
Mizu should honestly be accustomed to her being this excited whenever she sees him!
πΆππππππ
".. Yes, I so you. Hello, Karlach."
He smiles a little. Gods, she is precious. He must protect her.
