[...there is an attempt to make slightly uncomfortable shifting look natural, and Devin almost pulls it off. He appreciates, on the level that isn't always screaming about 'no attachments', what the Fool is saying. It is inexperience rather than distaste that informs his reaction. Had he called because he wanted someone to talk to just as much as he wanted to check on the Fool?]
I'll keep that in mind, [Devin promises with a small nod and what might be the beginnings of an even smaller smile.] Thank you.
