[It hit him that after being out of the spotlight for so long, and being away from school and his housewarden duties, it had been a while since he’d gotten feedback like that. It… felt nice to hear again. A reassurance that he was on the right track here.]
I could tell you were bothered by virtue of how much you cared.
[A subtle way of saying he’s a good person. He didn’t want to sound like he was trying to flatter him, but he looked like he could use the little boost of praise himself.]
Well, regardless of where we are, I’m still a housewarden, and I’m going to be here for you and anyone else from home that might need it. I’ll make sure things are alright, so you don’t have to stress about things that you don’t need to. This place gives us enough reason to worry on its own.
[Cater's cheeks flush slightly. Even mild praise is still pretty great, coming from Vil. And as someone who spent so much time acting like he didn't care too much, how could he not be a little bit bashful.]
Yeah, for real. Once I get my magic back, I'll step up a bit more. Housewarden or not, I don't want to put too much on your shoulders.
I'll hold you too that, but you've done more than enough for now.
[And witht he tea cups emptied, he takes them both and starts towards the kitchen.]
Sp go get some rest, alright? That puppy of yours is taking quite a bit of time and energy as it is. She's getting rather big now, so I expect you to be staying on top of her training.
[Vil's subtle way of telling him to go de-stress with the pup.]
[But he'll take the hint. It'll be nice to lay down on the floor of his bedroom and get smothered with unconditional affection. Standing, Cater stretches.]
Thanks again, Vil. For everything.
[With that, he'll head off to get himself some sorely-needed puppy love.]
