@SugahFox though there was a subtle shift in his tone. It was softer, even if barely showed. His eyes flicked to the discarded rocks before landing back on her. “It’s... appreciated. Better than most things people have given me,” he added, looking away briefly. Not since 401.

@SugahFox Soul watched her with a blank expression as she tossed the other rocks aside. For a moment, he just stood there, hands in his pockets, feeling the weight of the rock she had given him. “ You didn’t have to go through all that trouble, ” he said flatly, —

Offering a rock. It’s shiny. Clearly, she spent a lot of time finding a good one for him. Stare. @boundlessvaIor

@SugahFox glancing down at it briefly before slipping it into his pocket. Though he didn’t say much, a small part of him appreciated it. “ ...It’s a nice rock, ” he added quietly, almost as an afterthought.

@SugahFox Soul stared at the shiny rock in Candy’s hand, blinking once in silent confusion. He didn’t quite understand the gesture, but he knew it meant something to her. He sighed softly, taking the rock from her hand with his usual indifferent expression. “ Thanks, ” he muttered, —

@boundlessvaIor Spiraled oculars peered directly into his /soul/ . . . As if dissecting him with nothing more than a stare. Silence befell him, still.
