For a moment, her silence stretches and he thinks perhaps the damage is too great. His remark is one that between them and what happened, might pass for a bad joke, if he didn’t one hundred percent mean it.
She takes it as one, though - adding a jab of her own in return. His mouth curls into a grin, no longer hiding any of the pointy teeth that seem to accompany mischievousness - like an ingrained, bad habit, his eyes and teeth show up when he doesn’t need them, and sometimes it’s just too much effort to hide them. ”You’d have to start eating meat,” he mentions almost dryly, the idea of Lethy being anything other than a herbivore strange and almost unimaginable to him. If anyone doesn’t have predatory ambitions, well, it would be her. As evidenced by her next comment, it seems that most of what transpired hadn’t been blamed on him.
He nods, unsure if he wants to accept or return her welcome, leaving that in the middle as he studies her. From a purely predatory, draconic point of view she now looked easy prey, a thought that likes to sit on the forefront of his mind as she wobbles forward and her sides heavily heave. When she looks at him however and their eyes lock, it seems that in their time apart she has started to understand just a bit of the emotional burden she had put on him before. ”I wasn’t either,” he admits. Brutally honest as he is by nature, he doesn’t spare her for friendship’s sake. Lilli’s questions come to mind for a moment - what does he even want for them, for himself, for their lands? But it has no place here, he cannot waste his thoughts on the why of the moment. He’s here now and he had chosen not to turn and leave, so to question himself now is pointless.
”How’s the healing?” he asks, as if perhaps it’s any kind of regular issue they’re talking about - he also wonders what she’s told other, if she told them anything or just hid away with her wounds at all, but that is something he feels he should not ask directly.
