[Grins and pulls back, but lightly squeezes her shoulder too.]

Okay okay.

I'm just not that good with any of this kind of stuff, sorry.

[enchantressofore]

I would say you are better than you think you are.

[ Definitely feeling better. Don't mind the tears at the corners of her eyes, she's fine promise. ]

[justicereigns]

[LEANS A SEMI-HUG on her head.] You don't have to smile if you don't want to. But if you'd rather keep smiling, I won't call you on it, okay? Just so you know, you don't have to fake it.

[enchantressofore]

... I feel like smiling now.

[ Sniff. Damn it Smoker stop touching her heart with your words and gestures. She's heard it before, but... It's always really nice to hear. ]

[justicereigns]

Okay okay. [HEAD RUFFLE! NO DON'T CRY!]

[You can't win with Smoker. Just something Ace says. Because it's true.] How about I make you some hot cocoa and you can fall asleep on your books in bed if you want, okay?

[enchantressofore]

[ IT'S OKAY SMOKER THEY'RE HAPPY TEARS

She wipes at one of her eyes, smiling and nodding. ]

That sounds nice...

[justicereigns]

Okay. [Last ruffle!]

I'll get that all set up for you then.

And end here?

[enchantressofore]

[ This time she will swat at his hand for that - apparently she's not going to allow it all the time. Not that it's ever stopped him before. ]

Thank you, Smoker.

[ She's going to scoop up her pup now and start heading back to her room with him. At least she feels a little bit more certain about things in general, even with the disturbing news given earlier. Actually, maybe because of it. ]
