He shrugged.
"...we fought later. She was about to fall off a beam and land in a big pit of lava. I saved her and she gave me the emerald shards she had. She told me they stunk like Echidnas do, but she... meant well, I guess."
He was suddenly very interested in the weave on his glove. Oh man look at that fabric quality. Wow. It had nothing to do with not wanting to make eye contact with the swallow, I promise.
"So, we've butted heads a few times since then. But she was the first girl I ever met except for like... Amy. And yeah, OK, I... like her. I think maybe she likes me too, but it's really hard to tell what she's thinking. I don't think we could ever sit down and really... talk. Like this."
