It took a moment for her words to register, as he was so preoccupied with getting his own out, that he had to pause before he let out a soft chuckle at her words. "Yeah, I'm a little worn out," he admitted to her in an unintentional sigh. With his words, his shoulders relaxed a bit as though he was letting out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding.

He flashed her a weak smile, not knowing how to really talk about that side of his life right now, and so he continued with his previous questioning. "We have plenty of time to talk about me," he muttered evasively, flashing her a smile as he watched her shift the way she was sitting. "Now, what is this thing that you're reacting to?" he asked, raising his eyebrows just slightly.

Aspen nudged in closer to Cornelius, only stopping once her feet and knees bumped into his side. Then she reached up to run the pad of thumb under his eye. Dark circles were there. But she nodded at his insistence that they could talk about that later. If he didn't want to, that was fine. He didn't need to, really. Even though she wasn't a mind reader, as they'd established through a series of ACEs, Aspen could read his face today.

"Well... I got an owl from Aunt Linda. She's going on a cruise this summer with ... Oh I don't know, her second? third? husband," Aspen explained in a rare, but potent display of sarcasm. Maybe a touch of contempt and resentment was there, too. "Which normally would be fine, but Dad is still in France so me and West are going to be spending the summer with Mr. and Mrs. Bole, and then Mr. and Mrs. Branxton." Did Cornelius recognize those names? Though it didn't matter - none of them were family and that was the point.

She continued her thumb across the bridge of his nose and to his other eyes, like maybe she could wipe the fatigue off.
