Oh. "You should take that as a compliment!" She exclaimed, rather surprised. Although.. if someone told her that she looked younger than her age, it wouldn't make her very happy. Etta liked growing and looking older.. It was interesting, in a way. "A man?" She grinned teasingly, raising an eyebrow. "Guess you are. I still have a few more years to go.. to grow into a mature young woman." SIGH.
"Thank you," Declan said with a bigger smile.
"Very happy, actually. I think Declan is the best name for me." He chuckled at Etta's exclamation. He wasn't really offended at being thought younger. It didn't matter. Declan felt way older than he was anyway. Something like an old soul but that was weird when you said it out loud about yourself.
"Young man," he corrected her gently with a smile.
"I'm okay with young man. No rush, really. There's time to grow." He couldn't help another chuckle and he frowned playfully at Etta.
"You sound disappointed. Do you want to be a..." What had she said?
"A mature young woman that badly?"
