[ He sits there tapping the edge of his blackglass for a moment before he replies, he isn't sure how invitations are made. In many ways, nobility was restricting. In others, it meant there were set patterns he never had to think about what was considered correct and not. Everything was dictated, even when to say nothing. ]

Then you are welcome to do so whenever you wish, I am told I am somewhat quiet, and Jasper says I scowl too much... but I never minded honest conversation for it's own sake. So please do not let it dissuade you.
[ it was not that he wished to be nonsupporting, it just that he was over protective, not a liar, but he never told her all of it. He did not want to be the one to ruin the world for her that way, he'd already done more than enough. Because of it, and all that had happened, he over compensated the other way. He tried to spare her as many details as he could.
Maybe Mineva might be a better influence than he was. Seemed to be more familiar from her tone, at least. ]

A scowl is hardly a thing that can dissuade me, I assure you.
no subject

[Because she can't believe Terra ever would.]

Of sorts.

Jasper... drew a picture of me.

... They all told me that is what I look like most often.
no subject
I see. Did they say there was anything wrong with it?

Terra said I should smile more often...
no subject
That does sound like Terra. She simply wants to see you happy, after all.
no subject
She is exceedingly kind. I think she would see everyone smile if she could manage it.
no subject
I can sympathize with her thoughts on that matter. I would much rather see peace and those smiles than I would strife.
no subject
I am glad she can share them with someone.
