[ he accepts nick's hand and squeezes it, maybe a little tighter than he means to. ]

I'm not used to caring. You're the first mortal I let myself grow attached to in centuries, you'll have to deal with some over-protectiveness.

[extent]

There are probably worse places to have an over-protective warlock as a guard dog.

( he actually smiles then, sneaking a glance over at ragnor as he squeezes his hand right back. )

I don't really think you're annoying.

[unfriendlygreen]

[ he laughs, very amused. ]

I am annoying. I've been on my best behaviour.

( ragnor laughs, and it means that nick laughs too, and some lasting tension finally unknots in his chest at the sound. )

Oh, so you're telling me it gets worse?

[unfriendlygreen]

Of course not.

[ it does. ]

I have mellowed out in my old age.

What were you like, 'back in the day'? ( he's always curious to dig out more of ragnor's past, honestly. ) Do you like, remember?

[unfriendlygreen]

I was a very happy child. My parents thought I was good luck and I tried to live up to that.
