Danny flushed a little at Thoth's correction, though he was already so pink it likely made little difference. He gave a quick roll of his shoulders, wincing a bit as his body reminded him he was a little banged up, and tried to relax. Clearly, Tristan wasn't "the prince" in this situation, but a friend of a friend. Which, by Danny's definition, meant Tristan was a friend as well. Danny returned Tristan's smile with one of his own, starting out a bit hesitant and then quickly, as if he couldn't help it, warming. Tristan seemed to know his name from somewhere and Danny's smile wavered a little, hoping Tristan had heard it used in good context rather than bad. He started to offer an explanation, thinking Tristan had probably heard of Danny in the infirmary when he visited Thoth or something along those lines, when Tristan grinned anew. At the mention of his sister, Danny nodded eagerly and seemed to instantly brighten with affection for his elder sister. "Yeah, Renn's been talking nonstop about the sketches," Danny said, unable to contain the pride in his voice. "She's been working really hard." At Tristan's question, Danny flushed again but this time with pleasure. "I'm still just an apprentice," he demurred, even though there was no denying the pride on his face at being referred to as 'the doctor'. The older boys turned their attention back to the problem at hand and Danny, though there was a part of him that still wanted to object, decided he might as well go along with whatever the two had planned; they seemed like they would do it with or without him, but at least he'd be able to help his friends if they got into a rough spot. Danny looked between Tristan and Thoth, clearly trying to puzzle out the situation. It didn't take long for him to realize that Thoth hadn't let Tristan stand up to the bullies until now, until they bothered him. It was... weird, having someone stand up for him, but a good sort of weird. |
