Maybe he ought to just spell out the answers. Though he was starting to doubt that she would even accept that. This one was an interesting character. He'd give her that much.
However, what she said next sounded so entirely ridiculous that he couldn't even suppress an audible laugh. "Boil you?" And then he understood. Sort of. Again, he laughed. "Last I recall, I was a part of the rescue team." So they were taking the 'not trusting' thing back to square one, yeah? Shame. He leaned back in his chair, easily.
And besides, "I'm more for boiled vegetables," he nodded slowly. "Children don't do me any good if they can't participate in my lessons." Which would be difficult to do if they were sitting in a child-stew.
He gave her a curious look. Her turn.
That laugh. Admittedly, she liked that laugh. It had made her feel somewhat comfortable with the man when they had first met. It was an honest, genuine, sort of laugh.
However, today she couldn't let herself be fooled by wants or past perceptions. She
had to find out the truth. She steeled her resolve. Especially when the mention of vegetables came into the equation. That was enough to disarm anyone!
"Last I recall, the hag disappeared when that rescue team showed up." And yes, her recollection was more than a bit fuzzy.
"If I were an ugly thing like her, I'd totally morph into something, someone, less..............suspicious."
Totally.
Folding her arms, Amur gave the man an unimpressed look that bordered on hurt.
"Apparently we were participating in that lesson." It was a lesson, did he know?
"We were very active....ingredients."
