"they flip the siren, hit the lights" ✭ ── Angel listened to the gaps filled in by Ruven, nodding his head intermittently as the other boy spoke. He knew he hadn’t fallen asleep, but he woke up, leaving the only remaining explanation of perhaps blacking out, if his assumptions were correct. He closed his eyes once more for a few moments, expecting a snarky comment from Aphra that he hoped wouldn’t come, and she would mind her tongue in front of Byriath at the very least. A small exhale left his nostrils as if he would have kicked himself for allowing his body to do something like that in front of his forever disappointed mother. Not that he had the choice, but all the same, she had witnessed it and that was quite frustrating when he was doing his best to try and convince her somewhat that he was no weakling.
On the bright side, however, Ruven’s offer of friendship seemed to lift his spirits, a subtle change in the way he held his shoulders and a brighter look in his eyes. ”Angel. I’ll gladly be friends with you.” He returned the smile, brushing all pessimistic thoughts to the back of his mind.
”My head hurts a little bit, but I think I’m okay?” The jaguar responded to Byriath, covering his mouth with a paw apologetically. He hadn’t meant to scare anyone, stupid thing he was. ”I’m sorry, Byriath.”
