you had been getting better at kiting, and that meant naib found himself rescuing you off of chair less and less and it made him feel a bit out of place.

“you’re getting too good at these whole manor games. it’s getting harder to keep up.” naib stated gruffly, but it was easy to read what he meant. it was a compliment and a complaint.

he missed the gratitude and looks you’d give him after rescuing you from the rocket chair. not that he’d ever verbally admit that.
