I don't blame you.

[ there was no expectation that shoma witness nodd's finest moment. ]

Even the fussiest adults around here will get patched up. Even I get patched up. Nobody's left bleeding. And it probably makes them all feel better if they can worry about the kid who works hard and cares hard. You might have to grin and bear it for a while.

[ he sort of huffs out a sigh. ]

...I know you're right. But it's still hard knowing they might be more worried about it because because of it. Yeah, everyone's getting the same treatment but...it's hard to know what people are really thinking. [ a pause. ] Maybe that part doesn't really matter right now.

[ it'll just be something he thinks about himself. ]

Wow. I'm right? And it's true, because you said it. Let's enjoy that for a moment.

[ avoids the hair ruffle and gives a shoulder pat instead. ]

Don't push your luck. [ this is a joke. ] You do have your moments where you make complete sense.
