[she makes an utterly precious but ultimately stupid little mascot noise and flops onto her belly on Zeno's shoulder, as if totally enamored.]

That she is, that she is~ Camp is this way.

[and off they go into the woods]

[liarliarliar]

[takes hold of zeno's sleeve as they go, looking around curiously]

What is such a group out and about for?

[defendless]

[The forest is lightly packed enough that there are patches of sunlight all around, keeping it from being too intimidating. Shin Ah falls into step on Zeno's other side, as if out of habit, and Jae-ha leads them. He answers over his shoulder.]

"We're all weak to a cute face, is all."

[liarliarliar]

...................so the squirrel wanted to come then?

[defendless]

[Jae-ha actually has to stop and lean against a tree, he's laughing so hard.] Ah... Zeno told you about his brothers, but not about any of the rest...

[liarliarliar]

To be fair we were very occupied with Hell and then being tired because of Hell.

I guess I can learn more now since the chance is here.

[defendless]

[well that gets Jae-ha to stop laughing really fast, and he turns, alarmed.] Hell? [zeno is very quiet and very still]

[liarliarliar]

[oh zeno never

oops

casually]

I guess phrases like that aren't used as casually here? It was a difficult time, I meant? At least for a soft, delicate indoor child like myself. Zeno himself didn't seem particularly phased. That tends to be how those sorts of situations go.

[defendless]

[In Which Kano Learns That Zeno Never Tells Anyone Anything If He Can Get Away With It Zeno smoothly picks up Kano's backpedaling though, bumping into his side cheerfully.] Zeno's still sorry he couldn't be of more help to you. It was a pretty rough ride, right? [Jae-ha seems DECIDEDLY UNCONVINCED, but after a few moments seems to decide that kicking up too much fuss isn't gonna do jack shit, so he sighs and turns to continue leading them to camp.] "The times where I was the only really shady person in this party are long gone, huh... Well, you'll fit right in, Kano." [if Kano is looking, he'll note that Shin Ah has quietly taken Zeno's hand during all this.]

[liarliarliar]

Why does everyone say I'm shady? I'm such an innocent!

[if he is looking, he's hiding it very well. then again, hiding what hes doing is something Kano DOES do well so....]

Zeno, it's like my sister has returned to scold me...

[defendless]

[zeno laughs lightly]

Ryokuryuu is a very cute and earnest onii-san, right?

[Jae-ha disagrees firmly over his shoulder]

"Really? Must you lie to the poor boy, old man? And in my earshot, no less?"

[zeno just winks at Kano]

[liarliarliar]

He's not as cute as my Sariel-niichan. But not many are.

Can't fluff up like my stuffy brother does when he's irritated.

[defendless]

Haha, well, no one could accuse Ryokuryuu of being stuffy, either, so there's really no comparison. Both are good.

"If you're looking for stuffy, Kija's right up ahead."

[liarliarliar]

I'm excited to meet this cute cute family~

[defendless]

[Jae-ha flashes him a charming smile over his shoulder.] "It's good to meet any friend of Zeno's." Zeno has good taste!

[liarliarliar]

The cuter friends are sadly back home.

Crying from my absence.

[defendless]

You are extremely cute.

[liarliarliar]

Maddy is way way cuter!

Those troubled eyes! That long red hair! The shy body language!

[defendless]

It's true, he is also extremely cute. "He sounds like quite the charmer." Ryokuryuu, the boy is taken.

[liarliarliar]

Hmm....you are tall and handsome, which is his alternative type.

But I'd get terribly jealous.

[defendless]

[Jae-ha laughs] How sweet of you to say. Don't worry, I'd leave him be on account of you being the old man's friend.

[liarliarliar]

[pulls out his cellphone and pulls up a pic of Madison looking flustered. holds it out to jae-ha]

You should! But look at him! Isn't he the CUTEST?

[hashtagaesthetic]

[kind of? startles? like hey why is this being shoved in his face, but takes a moment to check madison out.]

...I would be pretty torn up about it, though. What a beautiful young man.

[liarliarliar]

Oh right. No phones here.

And yes, he's the MOST BEAUTIFUL.

[the disgusting sound of someone in love]

I should get pictures of Zeno's cute family while I'm here and have the chance.

[defendless]

[both jae-ha and shin ah look pretty hunted at the very idea, though jae-ha hides it much better. zeno just reaches to tug gently at his sleeve] Maybe not? Zeno's family is pretty private.
