He's SURE he can live with her laughing at him? Because that's exactly what happened.
After a moment of staring blankly, she just snorted and let out a very light and dry laugh
" Yeah, yeah, funny joke. "
Karu can live with her laughing at him. At this point he just needs to say it.
He took a deep breath, shuddering as he let it out. Wincing a bit and turning away with a slight blush.
"U-Um... Romantically, I guess..?-"
Karu
Not much reason for her to be afraid. Death has no reason to fear, and another deity of death isn't any more of a threat.
Well I hope he is prepared for her to laugh. . . because she absolutely isn't going to believe he is serious for even a MOMENT.
Thats something they gave in common then, isn't it? Truthfully she's one of the only ones who aren't afraid of him, and she isn't TOO mean.
Maybe he should just let her know how he feels, get it off his chest at least.
Karu
Well at worst? She might laugh in his face thinking it's a joke. She never found herself to be loveable in a romantic way, not even a platonic way for that matter.
Calling death a 'friend' isn't exactly the norm, and especially for a deity as aggressive as herself.
