Rivener was still grinning, all too amused by all this, when Tari darted close for another kindergarten-level kiss on his cheek. That sudden comparison struck a very true chord in the Sigel and he snickered: Tariel WAS like a five-year-old human kid in an adult body! How could he EVER have wanted a kiss from her?! It felt so WRONG now, like bullying a baby!
A really, really funny baby.
Rivener chuckled and nodded as Tari floated away, humming. With a shake of his head he put in his earbuds and went his own way. "What a straaaange little girl," he mumbled. He hoped he'd see her again to learn how her televee studies went: he could use another good laugh!
